I don't know how you are, but I kinda love to put a face to the people I regularly discuss with (either in game or on forum), so thought it would be nice to get to know each other a bit more. Of course, is not like anyone has to... it's totally understandable if you want to stay anonymous, but just please don't troll the thread... so if you don't want to post, just please move on and ignore this thread. And I will start by breaking the ice: A themed (Easter) picture: Spoiler Another themed (but Christmas) picture: Spoiler My new avatar picture: Spoiler And just another random picture: Spoiler
I believe the more positive my comment would be, the more I would get myself in hot soup... :biggrin2: therefore: Beware! You never know what you catch... There is a wedding on Ark this month and they just celebrated a big one on the Caly forum. Made me think if there should be more dating activities in the universe for us hopeless nerds spending so much time in VR But so far I treat this as a role playing game and the character has little to do with my real self (maybe an idealized one, but that's for a psychologist to figure out). The face I wish to show publicly is already public. But you may have the background story on this character, there just isn't an English translation I'm afraid. http://www.perrypedia.proc.org/wiki/Sandal_Tolk
My goal is definitely not to create a dating movement - hahaha - and, personally, I take everything from the Internet with a grain of salt and I considered everyone just a game partner and nothing more (for example, except my mentor, for good reasons, noone else has or will have even my Skype handle) - what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... well I mean in EU. Still, I love to put a image on the people's I discuss with... it just helps better understand how to interpret one line or another... the same thing said by a kiddoo like me may carry a total different signification than same thing said by a serious, mature person... and dunno... a picture may also kinda tell you how far is appropriate to go with jokes towards a certain person... you know just like don't start saying jokes about fat people to a fat person (not that I do anyway, but just saying)... And again, I totally understand that many people will not want to share their real pictures, identities, whatsoever... and that is totally fine... many of us just come here to relax and take a break from the real world, not just have it as an extension of said real world... But, for those that think like me and don't have a problem sharing a picture and/or area curious to see how others look like, I thought at creating this thread so we can have all possible pictures in a unified place.
Personally I never have a problem sharing a picture, but then again I model so hard to avoid sharing anyway lol...
Hmm, why not, actually? I was of course joking above, but if someone with the right attitude and social skills (which will be forever hard for us nerds) came and pulled something like this off, I believe it could indeed be successful. So far I know of two other couples who met in EU other than the currently published weddings. Concerning the showing of data from my real life, even if you knew my real name and googled it, save for a very thinly filled Xing profile the newest entry you would find is somewhere from 1998. That's when I realized what this thing called internet is and that you'll never be able to reverse a decision if you needed to. Although I admit, a number of people who are now very important to me I would have never met if they had done the same thing. Sigh... The more I think about it, yes a trustworthy dating agent would be quite an addition to this universe
I will post one or some when I get out of work I even add my girlfriend for extra points With facebook nowadays everyone can check your picture anyway... and the community of Arkadia is mostly cool so I dont see no problem with it and its a good idea. We get to know the monsters manipulating the avatars
I didn't think like this at first, but I actually like seeing the faces of people I play with online (who are willing to post it here ofc) Keep it going
