Is there any members here who you think are nothing like they seem or say they are like in real life?
If you're going to be offensive towards anyone in this thread, please don't mention them. Just mention how many members you think try to trick others about themself.
Everyone.
Honestly? Very little.
I'm a little different in real life than on here, but it's not really on purpose :P
The way I act in both places is what comes naturally to me.
I don't really like anyone who has a forum "personality" that isn't representative of what they're actually like as a person. It's just lame, and not much of a boon to any sort of genuine discussion
There are probably quite a few out of 22,238 members. The ones that I know personally, I believe, are not dishonest.
I'm not Jesus. :(Quote:

IRL i'm probably the paroled inbred cousin your family never talks about.
I tend to exaggerate my love of Chocos a little (not a lot). But other then that I'm the same ;o
I don't really think about it either way.
I would never lie to you guys. I have too much respect.
Made me laugh a little bit.Quote:

Nah I'm pretty much the same on here as I am in life, giggly, and bubbly lolz.
And I would never lie to anyone here. I don't feel the need to =P
I'll admit it, I'm a crazy 16 year old girl from Kentucky.
There.
I was honest.
I'm dishonest about how I seem and/or am irl, so the chances to be honest here about real life is too confusing for me.
Hmm, I don't think of anybody that way. I always think they're probably more honest on here than off actually.
I'm as honest as I can be :3
I haven't told a lie in about 2 years ^^~
I just lied to a another EoFF member. But it was all in good fun. Sorry PyroManiak, EoFF doesn't actually ban staff members for canoodling each other.
Remember that one member who used to lie about everything all the time? You know, that one person. Yeah, that person lied a lot.
azar tries to pretend that he's a homely bespeckled red head, but he's really not.
Every time I come here, I always say I'll be a good member and post more... but that never happens. So I know I'm dishonest.
A lot of my personality comes from spontaneous knee-jerk reactions to stuff offline. When i'm on this forum I'm myself, but without the occasional isms.
I think a lot of you probably believe my excessive aggression and biting sarcasm is put on, but I'm actually like this in real life.
I try to be as honest as I can. :) Obviously there are things that are different in reality and online. But it ends up being me all the time.:bigsmile: I don't care if other member hide or lie about how they are as long as they don't harm people!:) (Obviously is not the best thing to do and it's something horrible, but meh it's internet:rolleyes2 )
Im very shy and quiet offline, thats the only difference. The way I am online is more how I am with close friends when Im not shy. So I don't really think Im dishonest at all, I don't know if anyone else is.
We sure ran him out of town like a common pygmy!Quote:

I was Psychotic once but I got better.
i dont think im fake in any respect. im allways hounest about my self
:)
I think Rye is a lot more ditzy and strange than she appears to be on the internet.
Everything I say is a lie.
In fact, I'm not even a real person!
I'm not even too sure about that myself. With some people I'm very subdued and shy, like at work. But with other people, I'm ridiculously weird and a total pervert.Quote:

I guess I'm sillier, but that's because I don't know anybody on here.
Knock Knock
Who's there?
You
You who?
That sounds funny! :bigsmile:
If they want to lie for pity, it's their problem not mine. Really.
Years ago, I was partial to the bad habit of presenting façades to others in lieu of my real personality, as a mean to... well, I don’t know, really. I suppose I was stupid and insecure, and wanted complete control over the way people felt about me (both offline and online). A lot of making up stories and truth contortion and this or that.
Since I was such a fan of inconsistency, when one person’s accounts of me meshed with another’s, there was that kind of steel-against-steel sound of a lie, and I would often end up in very awkward positions! So yeah, since this was a part of me for a while, and it was at its most malicious stage during a time when I was also a member here, than I am (or at least have been) a dishonest member. Whatever. I grew out of it a long time ago, and it is just a small part of a past I’d rather forget.
But who knows? Chances are, I’m lying about this one too.
Yeah sometimes on EoFF I say stuff like I eat babies, or I kill hedgehogs, and just yesterday I said I had a blossoming crack addiction.
NONE OF IT IS TRUE I AM SORRY I LIED EoFF!!!
Although I do say stuff like that off the internet as well, so uh, there you have it.
Lies :cry:Quote:

I don't trust Psychotic in the slightest. But I know for sure that I'm a 24 year old, seven foot chinese guy with an 11 inch wanger. I lost my virginity to your mum when I was 10, and have screwed 409 people since - most of them being other people's mothers.
Also, when I was 13, I went to a ninja training school and become a High Master of Amazingness in 3 weeks, which is better than anyone else has ever done. After turning 21, I ran around the Earth twice in a day, and defeated 15 mafia families. Then I invaded Russia and flew to a planet in another galaxy and gave them secret intel on America. They'll be here on Tuesday to destroy us all.
Totally true, btw.
IRL i'm alot more klutzy, spontaneous, annoying, and self-absorbed.
...Not that i'm any different on EoFF.
I think I'm more silly in real life, and I probably talk a lot more too. :jess:
Yeah I am probably the opposite of what I am when I am not on a forum or some chat medium. Maybe.
But it isn't an act ;{
I'm Hanna Montana when I don a blond wig and blue contact lenses....
;)
I believe that only people who play Diablo II have seen the real me. A mean smurfing cuss.
Most of the people I've seen online have been quite honest. Except for that Sephiroth1999AD guy, he never speaks the truth... in fact, he's actually Psychotic's 27th account! :p I haven't seen many EoFF members IRL, though, so I don't know what they're like face-to-face. Hmm, I've been chatting with some people for years, so it's quite amazing if they've actually been pretending all the time. :whoa:
I'm more or less the same on here as in real life. Not that it translates very well in text.
That pretty much covered it :(Quote:

I'm pretty much vain but not egotistical, intelligent but not serious kind of person those who met me irl at first thought "oh noes! he's older than us he'll be a moron" (not exact words used but I won't insult people needlessly) but they soon realized I'm just like the way I appear online.
Hey!!!! My new sarcasm machine!!!!! :mad2:Quote:

Psychotic had a different accent than I imagined, the lying jerk.
There are a few members around here I don't feel are anything like they are in the real world, but I don't really care that much for the most part. As for outright dishonesty and trying to be someone they aren't with intention, I don't like those people too much. I'm not talking age/image, though - I've known a few people who lied about their age/image and I didn't really care too much. But when people lie about who they actually are beyond that, it bugs me.
I reckon I'm better offline than online. Strangely enough. There's something about being able to...type any word you want...that gives you strange, wicked powers. And emoticons. How deceiving they are. My face would never look like :erm: or :Oo: (I would hope)
But to carry on a facade :p too troublesome. So no. The internet me is me and the offline me is also me, maybe I just have many me's or slightly variant me's and I am the same me all the time, I'm not sure.
I think most people at Eoff are more cocky than they'd be in real life, because on the internet they can't get beaten up. A lot of people here are dishonest, but actually believe their own lies. Ask people at Eoff if they think their intelligent, an count the number of people that are clearly dim that think their intelligent. Make a thread at Eoff about fighting, an count the tough guys! Ask them if their witty an funny, an I'm sure that pretty much all of them think they are. Is Eoff made up of highly skilled fighters, an witty, hilarious, intellectuals? Certainly not. Many Eoff members like to pretend they know things they don't too. That's why when you inform them of something well known to a person knowledgeable on the subject, they'll still say do you have a source? as if it's an outlandish claim. Because their full of crap, an make false claims all the time due to a lack of knowledge, they assume everybody else does the same.
That wasn't a flame, just a helpful correction!
Anaisa, did you go by cheesevixen in another life?
Wait, you think people on Eyeson aren't intelligent because they don't believe everything you say without asking for proof? I bet most of them know the difference between "they're" and "their", though.Quote:

Yams has leethax ninja fighting skills. He is better than all the rest.
I think very few people would do that, but on a personal aspect I don't really care. If they feel the need to act like someone else then so be it. Atleast I'm not them! =D
at least...Quote:

It took me around 7 minutes to make it. Now read it at normal pace, and it will take around 30 seconds. But if it took me 7 minutes, but speaking at a normal rate ends up with taking away 6:30 minutes, if I were simply saying this to you, would the message really end up being the same?
Why do I get that Something Awful feeling?Quote:

I'm myself here, although I've believed for a long while that i'm very differant to everyone here beyond the computer screen. I've had a couple of people in the past who thought I was lying when I wasn't.

I read this thread late last night and cracked up :p *laughs*
Wow Kentarou, takes you a long time to write messages o_O;
Anyway, I have no respect for that kind of people, it's really one of the biggest things that irks me. :3
I don't think I'm that different offline. I'm a lot less talkative offline, unless I'm around people I honestly feel entirely comfortable around. It's like if I meet you for the first time, I will not talk too much, since I'd be feeling incredibly shy - but the second time, I will probably talk a lot more. But, other than me probably being able to talk easier with new people over the internet, no - I don't think I'm that different.
But, who knows? :P
No Roto, I don't. I do however believe people who manage to read something straightforward, an fail to understand it are though. Especially when they create their own failure theory of what it means. An you know people only get offended by something said about them if it's true. That's why you object to my post. Oh no, did the man totally devoid of wit just insult my grammar, because it's the best attempt at an insult he could manage! :(Quote:

My comment was: "A pile of ass right there." That's a fact? I think not.Quote:

The point is: people aren't only insulted by things that are true.
Anaisa, stop baiting people.
People, stop responding to Anaisa and turning this thread ugly.
If this thread is going to go from generalities to pointing fingers it's gonna get shut down. Ok? Ok.
Miriel ruins fun. :(
Miriel is biased, an it affects her moderating work. :eek:

Only the stupid ones who should be deported. Also, most English people don't say an. Even if we did, we'd put the apostrophe to signify the missing letter. Like 'n'.Quote:

The emptiness of our world is all represented with an apostrophe.

As you can see above, I'm VERY dishonest for the sake of sounding like I'm from the Matrix, so there's another reason EoFFers, or just internet peoples in general can normally be considered dishonest.
Maybe the ones you know. I know intelligent people, though. Stop generalising everything.Quote:
