Sam Deathwalker... Multiboxer or Lunatic?

Sam Deathwalker has 35 confirmed characters... What may not be readily apparent, is that he also has 36 accounts (at least) and according to his posts, purchased all of them twice, along with character transfers since he pissed away his first 90 days of RAF. This guy claims to have mad pussy gathering skills, and to be the biggest multiboxer EQ ever saw... he also claims to have a job and shower regularly... but evidence points elsewhere.
So what is the difference between him and your average multiboxer? For starters, your average multiboxer is not nearly as "interesting" as this guy... and most recognize that not everything in life is about brute force.
See, I'm confident that there isn't anything a 10 boxer can't do that a 36 boxer can... the simple fact is that once you scale past a certain point, it's impossible to control effectively. Sam on the other hand started his WoW career with 35 shamans, and a single paladin, to tank with.
That's right, because there are all sorts of mobs that don't cleave or AE or require multiple tanks that require 36 shots to kill...
What really blows my mind, is while Multiboxers are a rare breed, and massive multiboxers are even more so... there are two that break the 35 mark... The screenshot to the right is the "command center" of Prepared, the first massive multiboxer to come out in WoW...
One major focus of multiboxing is the advantage it brings in PVP, beyond simple force in numbers you have an invincible assist train, and the whole "fear them and kill while they regroup" obviously won't work on a pack of 35 players... because you need 7 coordinated fear bombs... (which of course would be enjoyable to watch 7 warlocks own 36 shamans via instant ae fears...) The major downside to this is a single mage with a good vantage point can AE your ass to death, and no matter how many chain heals you have, it's going to be hard to coordinate saving a 36 man crew...
Anyhow, that's all I have to blather on about today... talk at you later!
