Are you your username?

[Erana]

Unlike an actual game, in which a player has an actual manifestation of a seperate, controlled character, a forum only allows a visual and a pennameto associate the user with.

So, are you your username? Or are you controlling a loosely defined character?

For me, I feel like only few fascets of my entirety are expressable on the internet, and I personally view, "Erana" as a mere outlet for my nerdieness.
Of course, the mere thought of "Erana" being a seperate entity is kinda odd, considering how much I say, "I"...
Well, lets just say that there was a long, internal monologue, and that I do only play the role of Erana.

 

[mr mcshiznit]

I think by default yeah... I am me

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

In a way, I guess that Mikey here isn't entirely me. The side of my personality that shows up on the internet is entirely different from the one that shows itself to friends, which is entirely different from the one that shows itself to the general public.

I still need to change my username to Sir Bartholomew Stilton, but I don't want to go through the trouble of racking up a post count again...

 

[ElephantGuts]

I sure as hell hope not.

 

[rottenbutter]

Rottenbutter is who I would be if I had all the time in the world to to collect my thoughts before speaking, and didn't have as many self-confidence issues.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Yes. I am a powerful and influential man of war with a ten million dollar bounty on my head.

But the real question is, can we call you Barty?

No. I am Sir Bartholomew Stilton. Do you know who I am?

 

[Ace of Spades]

Yes. I am a powerful and influential man of war with a ten million dollar bounty on my head.

On an unrelated note, where do you live? I'd like to give you some cake.

The cake is a lie. I learned that the hard way.

Madshaw is the same for me, cept he also says the things that "I" might not always say for fear of reprisal

 

[gamebrain89]

Eh, my username is an extension of my geekhood, I view it like you do Erana.

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

Nope my name is Btamrd that would be very scary...and very hard to pronounce

 

[a7r0p05]

Well, my user name is based of my Last name, does anyone care to guess which of the words in my username is part of my last name?

A jar of almonds?

 

[Flarvii]

I can't remember where I got Flarvii from... All I know is that I made it up and I now use it as an alias for every game I play.

As for the personality that goes with the name that all depends on the game I am playing at the time.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Indeed I am, until I experience a major dosage of poor gameplay decisions, in which case, I become -Fury-.

No. I am Sir Bartholomew Stilton. Do you know who I am?

I'm just guessing, but you are perhaps Sir Bartholomew Stilton, A.K.A., Barty.

Don't make me use my lightsaber, kid.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

That is for me to know and you to find out!
