Trolling
Alcom is known for many Message Board related activities, the most common of which is trolling. Alcom will often make wacky comments associated with typos, false statements, or poor logic in other player's posts. Most of these posts appear to make fun of the target commenter. He has a mixed following. While some laugh at his statements, others call him a nuisance. Most of this trolling occurs on the LEGO Universe Forum.

Alcom's Beliefs about LEGO Universe Closing
Alcom is also obsessed with the truth about why LEGO Universe closed, saying that it wasn't a lack of money or players that closed the game. Alcom has stated several times that the game closed because of LEGO's fear of exposed player personal information through LEGO Universe, and LEGO's fear of accidentally ruining the game. He has also mentioned some sources, one of which is a PC Gamer article.

Alcom's Ego
Alcom is known to possess a massive Ego about his ability to build with LEGO bricks. At every available opportunity he will talk about how good his properties were in LEGO Universe, or about his self-made copy of the LEGO Universe pods, Pod 2 1/2. Most people consider these topics a nuisance, even though Alcom has still shown an exceptional ability to build with LEGO bricks.

Alcom has stated that being humble is "too boring", and that he enjoys talking about himself more, despite the many users it annoys.

Reporting Stevensbike
In one unique incident, Alcom reported a lock comment from Stevensbike on the LEGO Universe Forum. The locked topic was about the connection between the Ninjago Character Sensei Wu, and the first builders of LEGO Universe. Steven believed that the topic belonged on the Ninjago forums, but Alcom believed otherwise. Alcom argued against the lock in his report, including the quote "As a man of a greater intellect than you". The lock was eventually released.

I request that you stop posting falsifications about your status on LEGO Universe, such as being level "51". I finally request that you be helpful on the LEGO Message Boards, so I don't have to watch the other users get angry at you.

Quotes
"This makes me happy. Not because I believe him, but now LEGO gets to watch us all crush the hopes and dreams of another child about the return of LEGO Universe. Ohhhhh... the maelstrom is rampant." -Alcom1
