Differences between your 'Poly personality and your RL personality
How do you act differently when you're on 'Polly?
I tend to contribute more to the discussion and post less fake misinterpretations on 'Poly than when I talk. I also often type with my eyes closed, whereas I almost never talk with my eyes closed.

I'm just as big an ******* in AR (actual reality) as I am on 'poly, or VR (virtual reality).
I'm 'keepin' it real' for the homies, you know what I'm saying?

I'd like to think I'm the same here as in real life, but Provost Harrison is the only person here who can even begin to confirm or deny that, being in the only person here who has met me.

My Apolyton personality is starting to bleed into my real personality. I caught myself half way though a train of thought the other day after I realised I was using "Starchild" in place of my real name.

I almost do that sometimes. When sending emails I find myself almost signing off as makeo.

In real life I tend to hang out with females a whole lot more. And some of them don't even hate me.

my RL and poly personalities are nowadays pretty similar. and always have been, i think. I used to be alot more of an Ideologue, both in real life and on here, but i'm not really like that anymore, and am usually pretty relaxed, easy going type of person.
at least, i try to be.

Ok. Once he stops vomiting he's a nice guy, very polite. Even ate an entire kebab at our urging despite having completely sobered up.
I think I'm the same in RL as I am on 'poly but I don't really know.
