Like the last socks, adding unsourced claims that several unrelated companies were bought by TX Interactive, which doesn't exist. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 23:39, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Similar behaviour (unsourced and incorrect corporate acquisition statements) and naming scheme to previous socks. The user creates new socks on the daily, so sleepers should be checked. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 19:53, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm reporting socks of here because the account (alongside ) was blocked as a sock of Rd64e by  before that. I'm not seeing a lot of parallels between Liam388 with their socks (the "TX Interactive LTAs") and Rd64e with their socks (the "BigSky Interactive LTAs"), so it is possible that they are unrelated strains of sockpuppeteers, which would explain the seeming unrelation between Rd64e and Kyle090. Is there a way to check this?  IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 13:25, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌, closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:11, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ CME0i0 = Kyle090. Though I do agree that both appear unrelated technically to the archive. Do with that what you will. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 10:15, 31 July 2020 (UTC)


 * ,, I'm confident that CME0i0 is at least somehow related to RD64e based on them adding the same nonexistent "TX Interactive," and Kyle090 is continuing the same behavior of this farm by adding unsourced corporate takeover information to video game companies. Also, both of the names match the username pattern, they're editing from mobile (occasionally using mobile VE) just like the rest of the socks, and like the rest of the socks they consistently pluralize dollars as "dollar's". I'm near-certain that all of these are the same person. . GeneralNotability (talk) 12:52, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

The same LTA, though now using "TX Games" in place of "TX Interactive", as well as "NX Streaming" for TV shows. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 05:35, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌ to Rd64e. However,  and  are ✅ to Kyle090 and CME0i0. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:41, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Can a clerk split the two cases? CME0i0 would presumably be the master for the second sock farm. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:19, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * History split for the SPI and archive (archiving clerk, please double-check my work there - I'm new to histsplits). Everyone appears to be, closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:25, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

User adds the same intentionally erroneous acquisition statements as all previous socks, including "NX Streaming" additions as the most recent sock did. Seems like they moved on from "TX Interactive" now. Please also check sleepers. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 15:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Produces similar fabricated acquisition info like the previous socks. Connection to CME0i0 very likely due to additional overlap with Cobra Kai topics ( for 80HGL and for this sock). Please CheckUser for possible sleepers or alts that haven't come under my radar yet. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 14:40, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Same behaviour, same scope (such as Paramount, Cobra Kai, Mercenary Technology). is probably also them. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 08:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Please I ask you kindly and heavily not to remove my editing access to Wikipedia, I myself would never nor do such things abnoxious as well ruthless of a person as I'm simply interested in these topics as well as my own companies, but in no way have any relation to these sockpuppet nor am I a sockpuppet of any kind, thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TriforceTropical (talk • contribs) 14:38, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment User is blocked for a week for disruptive editing, paid editing and personal attacks, as info. -- ferret (talk) 17:31, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Evidence comment On deeper review of the user's edits, I see behavioral evidence that this is User:TRL Studios, who has 4 socks of their own, and is additionally a suspected sock of User:Rd64e. Rd64e has been checked against CMEoio in the past but was declared unrelated? I don't get the full history of this sockmaster, but. Behavior evidence is editing the same games and topics (Such as Nickelodeon Kart Racers) and claiming to have succeeded various defunct video game companies with false/made up companies. You've quickchecked this series of socks for me before. -- ferret (talk) 17:38, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

This user's favored topics clearly overlap with those of the last few socks, crucially Barking Lizards Technologies, where they have been the only editor (via various socks; apart from my reverts) for a year. In the two edits linked, the user (on separate accounts and without providing a source) claims that the company folded for one made-up reason or another. Other overlaps include:
 * The Karate Kid (franchise) (with particular focus on "Cobra Kai: Card Fighter")
 * Nickelodeon Kart Racers and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix
 * Beach Buggy Blitz
 * The Wolf Among Us 2

Additionally, the username is an obvious parody of mine and within their first edits on their first day, they needed to clarify that "I do not relate to the user of Ice Welder" although I had no interaction with this account up to that point. I had a dozen of their accounts blocked, so they likely have a grudge against me. I am requesting that a CheckUser is performed as the user is known for their burner accounts.
