Also, not to open old wounds, but I think this is part of the reason you wont see some people play in too many games. If their online login has one reputation they dont want associated with their game personae. People in recognized positions of authority or reputations for being friendly and helpful would find it hard to enter into a game. You have people expecting the same from you in the game. And you might not want to damage your online personae even though the idea of playing games is having a chance to be what you are not.
Are you suggesting there might be other Gandalfs here?
I thought they had all gone to the other forum, to be free...
Actually most of the people I know who had a login here not conducive to gaming have long ago shown up on other forums. Everything has its pros and cons, and thats one of them for a one-login-only forum. People have sometimes complained that the staff, moderators, devs dont game.
Many of them do. Just not here.
