Do you act the same online as you do in real life?

[Requx]

I'm more logical online....yeah.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I have never made an effort to be anything other than myself so I assume the answer is no.

 

[KiLl_RoY]

Well-- I have to say that i am more grumpy that what i normally am...But you have to admit that are some really stupid people that can get on your nerves in the internet.

 

[The Man With the Soap]

Yes and no. I still tell people what I honestly think of them, but I get in far fewer fist-fights online than in real life.

Ah, here we have the emotionally and mentally scared youth of today, with nothing better to do than annoy people they dont know. Most of us play games with the hopes of succeeding and that is enough for us, but these people play for a different reason, to set up situations were they can type "U mad?" at people.

These "trolls" will be the first people killed during the zombie apocalypse for food for the rest of us, at which point we will whisper to their slow roasting and succulent smoked parts, "Yes, I am mad."

Or most of us play games to have fun as opposed to having to succeed to achieve the happiness games usually provide.
I fear some "trolls" are saving the 'succeeding' for real life. I fear not for thier safety in the zombie apocolypse soon to come, but I do take pity upon the zombies that come in thier way. For they will belittle and psycologically destroy these zombies, and the crowds shall whisper "omg", when they ponder as to how they achieved such a feat against a brainless enemy.

I am a bit more outspoken online, but my attitude is pretty well the same, unless I feel like playing and acting out a character, then it is usually different.

 

[omega 616]

I don't shoot people in real life, does that count?

Seriously, I am more out going on here, tend to type my thoughts down more than I usually would, I do hold back on the banter.

In shooters and stuff, I have had PX21 turtle beaches for months now and I have never used the mic.

 

[PeePantz]

I'm nicer online.

Haha, me too. I'm much more shy and tend to be much more polite. In real life, I troll, HARD. However, there's no satisfaction in fucking with people that are essentially "invisible". I also believe that because a lot of people use the internet as a mask of anonymity, this leads us to portray ourselves in a different light. Not necessarily in one we strive to be, but just different.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

For the most part, except I'm a little less quiet online.

 

[Glassesguy904]

Oh god yes, I act exactly the same. I play nice with polite people and tell foul-mouthed tweens to search "The Offended Page". Funny story, I met up with one of the acursed little jerks twice and he whined about how I ruined his life. Being the nice person I am, I felt a little sorry for the little prick until he started back up his whining. I then convinced the little brat his mother never loved him. I'm such a soul-less asshole.

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

My online persona is pretty much a carbon copy of who I am when I'm with close friends. When I'm with people I don't particularly like, I'm considerably more subdued.

 

[Serenegoose]

It's easier for me to be me online. I'm more or less the same, I just talk more, I guess.

 

[Korimyr the Rat]

I have time to calm down, take my medicine, and censor myself online. The overall effect is that I am a much more pleasant person in my online interactions.

 

[aPod]

Profane, immature, funny, and like a jerk?

Why yes, yes i do.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Im me, online and off, I would like to think im a nice guy, but everyone has a jerk moment now and again right?

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Yes I am. As for your scenario. That's why everyone else in the world has mute all on for COD6.

 

[feeback06]

I think I am. I like to think I'm funny, and I like to think I'm laid back in both settings. I also have a low tolerance for bull shit, but that doesn't really bother me too much online since I can either ignore the person or there are forums like this to discuss.
