Fake Groups
Demosceners often form fake groups, which are essentially secret identities for making humorous or offending productions without scathing their original reputation - people in a fake group hide behind a pseudonym (which, considering their demoscene handles, usually becomes a pseudo-pseudonym). This type of masquerading is often just performed to confuse naïve newcomers to the scene; while some fake identities are never revealed for their time of activity, in most cases a large portion of unrelated people are aware of the real persons behind the spoof.
Famous fake groups include NEXTEMPIRE, HiRMU, Elitegroup, rECTUM cAUDA, FiRG!, ODD, Trepaan, Jumalauta and Speedfisters.

“After all, it is hard to master both life and work equally well. So if you are bound to fake one of them, it had better be life.”

“In properly organized groups no faith is required; what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while, for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.”
