Political posting - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am going to go out on a limb here and make a confession. This is more about trying to avoid responsibility than trying to gain points/votes, but...

I expect several people had suspicions or were completely aware when I did it (I didn't try very hard to seem different), but...I have RPed under a different username (only once, and it was a very brief game! Also it was 4 years ago if you are wondering...) because I wanted to participate in a game but felt guilty about abandoning and not being active enough in games I was already in... Is that lame or what?

So I can definitely see that being a punishable offense (and it's just disrespectful) but I'm putting that out there. Putting out my wrists to be cuffed, I suppose.

Why? I have this guilt issue.

On that note, I do wonder about a few RPers who seem so very...similar...

This thread reminds me (at least in some of the direction it has gone) of another that discussed how "real" people were behind their screennames - as in, how much they behaved as themselves rather than trying to be someone else.
