It make sense that we would identify more with names we choose for ourselves.<br /><br />Although it is strange when friends or family (who don't know me as Araziah) hear me responding to that over Mumble with corp mates.<br /><br />Widespread pseudonymity is a fairly recent inclusion into our society due to the rise of interaction over the internet. And it seems strange to those who don't participate in the internet subculture. I wouldn't be surprised to see somewhat of a broader acceptance of self-naming over the next generation or two.Araziahhttp://araziah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-5686042747975004792013-08-28T14:43:28.030-04:002013-08-28T14:43:28.030-04:00I have an alt which was actually my first characte...I have an alt which was actually my first character in EVE. The name is my RL nickname, with over 40 years of history. However, I created another alt, which because of a quirk of fate, is now my main and the name by which I am called regardless of which alt across 3 different accounts I am in.<br /><br />It was amusing to discover that "Kung" is King in Swedish, and I suspect that this was the early EVE point by which my identity solidified.<br /><br />Knug Lidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168621175894976018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-23979641152181603532013-08-28T12:51:21.732-04:002013-08-28T12:51:21.732-04:00I just had a conversation about this with my girlf...I just had a conversation about this with my girlfriend (a non-eve player) the other day. I know the real names of most of my corp mates and they know mine, but if somebody said that [real name] needs reps, I would be very confused and not know who to rep without stopping to think about it. However, if they said their in-game name, even if it is their main's name and I am repping the alt, I would have no trouble. There have been times where people have been trying to talk to me on comms and I haven't noticed because they used my real name as well. It is an interesting psychological issue to do with identity of some kind. Anyway, just my experience with this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
