Out of Pod Experience

No, griefers are not good people IRL. Most other players are not good people either.

Good and bad as moralistic determinations are useless. Morality is subjective. People are people. We all do good things, we all do bad things. What matters to me, personally, isn't whether or not other people think me good, but whether or not I like who and what I am. I'm autistic, so making friends ain't exactly my forte, but I have a few who are people that like and take me as I am, which is all I care about.

That being said, if as many people were as 'evil' in EVE as in real life, as so many bears claim, it's more likely they'd be in jail/padded cells than playing EVE.

Sometimes I am boring and sometimes not. Sometimes I am funny and sometimes serious. Sometimes I love everybody, and sometimes I want everybody to leave me alone.
I think I think too much.

Maybe I am slightly crazy or at least unconventional.

The way I am IRL is..... so busy that I don't play Eve anymore.

Too many hats.

its nothing. Its only a game.
I remember laughing loudly when brother died in Diablo II to some fetishes. It looked so funny.

people think I'm trying to look like justin bieber

In game, I take lives.

In real life, I save them.

Does that satisfy your curious nature?

Pretty sure wife thinks I am a jerk.

Does that count?

Me? I'm fabulous. But really you shouldn't be (personality wise) that much different in game than you are IRL.

Edit: After reading a couple other responses I guess it's a little more complicated than at first glance. I think I behave in game very similarly to how I am IRL and of course how I would be if EVE was real. I'm typically a really friendly person, introvert but with extrovert tendencies if that makes any sense. I have strong convictions and I like to stick up for the little guy.

@Toobo: A well formulated response, thank you.

"but the question here leads to actually much deeper academic debate than how it may look in the first glance"
I agree.

"I can/do agree that how we act when we anonymous says much about your 'desires', but how much is 'identity' or 'who we are' linked with what we 'desire'."
I agree, however I would also add that we use anonymity on the internet to vent our deepest and inner most frustrations.

"straitforward"
Compleetly agree. It's never straigt forward. I always remember a budhist monk I met in Russia. He was sitting on a bench in a park and asked if we had a pen for him. So we gave the wierd old man with a book with empty pages the pen. After which he said just a minute and he started to tally the mminutes in his little book. After watching him for 15 minutes I told him really don't need the pen back have a nice day. He responded by saying it was just another minute and he would appreciate if we'd wait. Another 15 minutes later he gave the pen back closed his book, gave us a chocolat bar and thanked us for patience. So I got a bit irritable and asked what's up? He said that he was sitting there to try and find good virtues in the world and reward them.

So something which looked like an old guy just being crazy was actually a highly intelligent munk doing behavorial research and trying to use positive reinforcement.

"Who we are"
I agree, it says something abou who we are however it does not define us. Also there is interpretation, cultural backgrounds and so many oher things to consider.

In closing. I believe there is a link between how you act and who you are no matter the context.

However without knowing the context, the reasoning and the intent it is very difficult to sumize if someone is a bad person. Furthermore I do not believe there are really bad people, a person is culmination of base desires and experiences which makes them behave in a certain way. Each interaction changes all parties involved in a minute way, my intent in my post as in most of my interactions is to try and make it a positive change. (of course my desires and emoitions do not always allow me to do so, which is ok :) )
