Gaming and REAL LIFE
The other thread was locked but I wanted to address ONE thing in there that was attributed to me by FLAMEFLASH. I felt I should correct it.
I DO NOT attribute any real life characteristics to anyone based on anything they do within any AC game. The person that is the most staunch and ethical individual in real life might enjoy roleplaying as a sneaky conniving devil. heck a sneaking conniving devil in real life may enjoy acting as the holier than thou ethicist. Nothing in the game affects outside the game. Its like when I play hockey . . . my best friend may trip me on a breakaway or I might get him with an elbow-- They are all in-game events with in-game consequences . -- heck we might even push or shove or take a little whack at one another but we are still going out for a beer afterward. There is a line though and that line would be anything that might really hurt the other person.
The line in Alpha centauri is if a player were to KNOWINGLY cheat. THis has NOT occurred.
I have tried always to avoid personalities -- If I have ever failed in that I apologize--

Agreed, and sorry I snapped at FlameFlash... I was sleep-deprived and had been having a rather awful day.

*Atlantian notes that in real life, he is evil, but that for some reason, he is the nicest, most lovable person online, with some hints of his evil leaking through occasionally, as can be seen by all the confusing commas.
I love ya all!
