You know, I've been reading quite a few recent posts by Ultrajoe, and I really don't notice. The voice in my head that plays when she posts continues to be a deep, raspy echo, and her real voice never appears for a second.

That's the internet for you, I suppose.

Also, what the hell with the Spartacus comments? I've got fucking imitators now, have I?
I just imagine a giant set of armor 8 feet tall, burning wings, skulls, fire etc.
But I can still imagine that, from the image in my head there isn't any actual gender given, just sense of impending doom/shitloads of Ultrafear.

And is the Spartacus thing sarcastic? I miss most internet sarcasm. Anyway when the Romans defeated his army and looked for him heaps of people stood up and said "I am spartacus" to confuse the Romans and stop their leader getting crucified and tortured. Might also have had something to do with continuing the hope, as he may have survived. i'm not sure, i haven't studied it in detail.

I'm guessing people are saying it as "I'm a girl" and "No, I'm a girl" to be funny/compare to the confuse the romans thing.

I think some of them are sarcastic, others of them are probably doing it right.

I am... Not Spike Spiegal. What a surprise.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that you are not Spike Spiegal.

I am not my avatar either, but I do look a lot like him.
My hair looks a bit like Spike's when I wake up in the morning. The rest of the time I look like a young Gil Grissom.

And how do I say this?... You must have a very "interesting" face if you look like a pile of pixels. Most people I've met have faces that are at least normal mapped.

I'd always suspected as much.

Also, here's a rather vulgar shocker of my own that the innocent and pure of heart may not be able to process.
I look nothing like the handsome, talented man pictured in my avatar.

Well, I haven't bothered looking at the face shots for the new Shadowrun game, so I'll stick with the old one for now.

You mean I'm not the only person who doesn't bother to post their real name everywhere. Or even better has someone who's name shows up all other the internet when you do a google search.

I'm impartial. I barely go on the forums, thus did not know of your.. highness and stature, but welcome to the male side fully.

What have I had to confess? Nothing really. If it gets to the point where you have to confess you have failed epicly at lying. The point of a ruse is never being caught.

That being said, I lived in North Dakota for about five months and pretended to be British while I was living there. By the time I'd gone no one had figured out I wasn't actually from Liverpool. I told a couple friends I made in my new locale so I suppose there's a technical confession there.

Oh, and Shivari being a dude... cool? I really don't see the point in gender revelations. I will never think of anyone I talk to on the internet as anything other than a collection of pixels held together by a malevolent AI. The question of whether or not that AI has dangly bits doesn't really come up.

I suppose for completions sake: Ultrajoe being a chick ... cool?

... I'm a dude if anyone cares.

Congratulations on your epic reveal.

My confessions are few and far between. I don't bother lying about who I am online unless it's occasional roleplay characters who are vastly different from me. Even then, it's a matter of "To the death."

I'm curious as to whether Ultrajosephine or yourself are treated differently after this because of your gender.
Yeah, that's pretty much the same for me. Since I'm English but my Dad's parents were Serbian immigrants I have a weird first name, so I just use that as my online name for everything since no-one believes that it's really me. I actually had someone I knew at my old school ask me if I called myself Trivun online because I'm a fan of Trivium (FTR, I'm not. They suck.). I had to tell them, "no, it's my real name, how long have you known me?" In fact, the only place I use an alias is as 'crispymongoose' on Youtube (I just liked the name, alright?).

As for the whole UltraJoe thing, I was really surprised myself when I found out her gender. Not a problem, of course, but I'd always assumed due to the spelling that she was male, not female (Joe is usually the male spelling, after all, and Jo for females).

I'M Spartacus!

But in all seriousness........I'm a bit confused. So people thought you were a girl because of your avatar? Wow......I just figured you were a Paramore fan.

Strangely the internet is one of the few places I can really be myself. In real life I constantly lie to people and wear a number of different persona's and masks. So I never really look down on lying, its fun to trick people.

The closest thing to a confession I have is that I'm pretty old compared to a lot of you folks here. GET OFF MY LAWN!
