Dear Eve Community,
I really want to know, how you guys are in RL ? I have heard how some of the nicest guys in RL are the biggest and most brutal scammers in EVE, and how the nicest in EVE are the most dangerous in life (As one player once claimed, he was a Mercenary in RL), so I wonder, how you are in RL regarding socializing with other people?
Do you consider yourself to be nice? Do you press the door button in a tram so that people outside that want to get into the tram do not have to press it? Do you let elderly people sit down if there are no seats left? Do you give the same amount of tip to a waitress whether she has a big bust or not? Are you fair to others? Are you a hard worker or pretend to work most of the times?
I met some of you folks in Fanfest, and you seem like really adorable people, but I do not know if you were pretending, because let's face it, it was exciting to meet all those people, but was that really you in RL?
I am curious about this. |

That propaganda has been going on for years:
- Griefers (people who enjoy extracting tears and making people unsubscribe) always say they are super nice guys IRL
- Same griefers always say carebears actively seek to dox them
Very strange, as the contrary seems to happen, griefers ingame are the same IRL (ex mittani), while carebears have others things to do once they've been extolled rage by professional Schadenfreude seekers

This link you sent, is this based on real life understanding on the subject at hand, I mean, do you have a background in psychology? I think I am a nice guy in RL, too nice, which is my weakness. However, the half-wits that memorized the 48 laws of power that think they can outsmart me failed utterly (there were a few), so I am not that weak, but although I am not a fan of people and crowds, when I do meet some, I do my part to be polite and respectful.
I met so many players in Eve over time, that I am just extremely curious how people are in RL compared to in this game. It is just too bad that people do not reply. For instance, no Goons, PLs, etc, as if they are afraid to write something wrong? I don't know, I was just curious I guess. |

Well I said it before in some other threads like this (deja vu all the time here k). So I just repeat the summary - I'm manipulative and calculative IRL. Yes I work in sales and marketing/business development, where your lies and BS have to be so convincing that even you believe it yourself XD
In game I'm generally nice and never broke a single promise I made in game (e.g., if I agree to ransom I really do let people go after ransom has been paid. If I want a kill I refuse/return any ransom offer, I also always paid my loan back, whereas IRL if I can get away with money without being caught I would in a heartbeat, and in my younger days I did steal a few things here and there, but I've never committed corp theft in EVE).
Funnily enough, I think it's because RL money I see as valuable enough to bend any notion of morality or laws to acquire if risk is getting caught is extremely low or I know how to avoid them for sure. For in game ISK, it's all space pixels, so I don't think it's worth it to be a d1ck about them. Just my warped logic :p

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.

The greatest irony is that in Eve you're told to trust no one.
I keep my RL and Eve Online totally separate. There is one person IRL that knows I play, and I tell her about my adventures as Lulu Lunette and she also finds it hysterical that I made my character a twitter account.. other than that I am a total closet Eve Online player and only until very recently, I've never met another Eve player irl. I'm just a normal person (corporate drone) with a job and a house and a dog and cat and I play Eve Online instead of watch TV.
I'm not very social or outward in person. I'm awkward and introverted and I am an accountant. I treat Lulu like an alter ego, maybe a little bit like someone I wish I was kind of but not really. I do my best to be nice and helpful and be the opposite of all the bad and evil you hear about in this game 
I do everything I can to keep real life from going beyond Eve Online's login screen. I have a routine where I put on some song to help me get in the mood, to feel like I'm Lulu and I guess I just go from there. I'm a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fan so I guess the old rock songs and pop music and Star Lord and Gomora was a bit of an inspiration.
My job is all numbers and no creativity so I guess Eve is a good outlet for me.
I'm boring; the end.

Actually from a psychological standpoint that is not true how you behave when anonymous says much about your natural disposition!
I'd say people who ignore the link should read a bit psychology literature ;)
Also calling people that you disagree with idiots also says something about your real life views and psyche.

I like to think I am very nice IRL, I smile, say please and thank you. Also can hold office chitchat very effectively, I buy the girlfriend flowers and have not ran away when I found out she was pregnant. SO I think I am an upstanding citizen
However in EvE I kill just about everyone who I come across.
Even friends and family. My dad plays, I killed him.

I said it before in a very similar thread a few months earlier, but the question here leads to actually much deeper academic debate than how it may look in the first glance, if you do indeed decide to take this topic seriously.
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'.
So if the question is 'does your EVE actions reflect your RL 'desires', then I think the answer is much more straightforward. But if it's about 'what kind of person you are IRL' then I tend to think that's got more to do than with just 'desires' alone, because 'who we are' in RL society obviously does include much suppressed desires, and what desires we decide to 'suppress' is as much linked to social identity as what desires we 'express'.
Expression/suppression of certain desires may say something about 'who we are', but I don't think they are the 'only' constituents of 'who we are' IRL.
anyways, tl;dr, I do believe, whatever you do in game, are your desires, there's no denying that. But what we desire is not the only barometer for who we are IRL, so the question itself does not lead to any complete picture.
Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!

A little different psych/sociology case study, if itGÇÖs of interest to anyoneGǪ.
I try to be a good guy both in RL and in the game. A different kind of RL vs. ingame behavior applies in my case. In RL IGÇÖm an introvert who enjoys privacy. I have good one-on-one friends, but in social situations IGÇÖm uncomfortable and IGÇÖm pure crap at small talk.
But in the game, I tend to end up being a group organizer and leader (corp officer, recruiter, etc.) ItGÇÖs because I have this thing where I canGÇÖt stand to see friends or family not getting along or not having a good time. So I end up GÇ£cheerleadingGÇ¥ and encouraging the group. IGÇÖm kind of a social manipulator, in that I manipulate group members to steer them being more positive within the group and stronger team players. Because of that, I end up being made one of the group officer/admin grunts/cat herders.
So in RL IGÇÖm shy and bad in group social situations, but in Eve IGÇÖm a social butterfly/group leader. Basically, my Eve self is an extrovert alter-ego that I RP. But I donGÇÖt like voice comms much. My RL introversion kicks in in comms, so I mostly just follow the fleet and push the talk key to laugh at jokes. I can only RP being an extrovert via typing text, where I have time to think and compose just what I want to say. MMO-world can make strange situations, don't you think?

@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 :) ) |

But in the game, I tend to end up being a group organizer and leader (corp officer, recruiter, etc.) ItGÇÖs because I have this thing where I canGÇÖt stand to see friends or family not getting along or not having a good time. So I end up GÇ£cheerleadingGÇ¥ and encouraging the group. IGÇÖm kind of a social manipulator, in that I manipulate group members to steer them being more positive within the group and stronger team players. Because of that, I end up being made one of the group officer/admin grunts/cat herders.
So in RL IGÇÖm shy and bad in group social situations, but in Eve IGÇÖm a social butterfly/group leader. Basically, my Eve self is an extrovert alter-ego that I RP. But I donGÇÖt like voice comms much. My RL introversion kicks in in comms, so I mostly just follow the fleet and push the talk key to laugh at jokes. I can only RP being an extrovert via typing text, where I have time to think and compose just what I want to say. MMO-world can make strange situations, don't you think?
Hi reminds so much of myself. For me the solution was mostly accepting I'm different from most and working on getting my emotions and rational on the same page.
I'm authistic with a high iq. From a young age I've survived by schutting my emotions away and ignoring them. To make matters worse I'm quite empathic. Resulting in emotionless and well reasoned argumentsduring emotional situations. This of course let to many bad experiences, since you cannot reason with nor against emotion.
Now when conversing through text the emotional handicap is shared by the other side, since text is emotionless.
Not saying you have the same issues as I have just wanted to share it with you. If you would like to discus it further feel free to choose your venue, PM or open forum are both ok for me. Of course no reply is required nor expected of you. |

Ha! But we can't do the test here unless she logs into Eve and thinks you're a jerk here too. Who knows?

Now I picture someone in an E-Scooter with CODE. written on it bumping peoplesGÇÖ shopping carts in a parking lot in order to prevent them from getting to their cars. When a card full of the most expensive stuff (liquor, steaks, exotic fruits) shows up the card gets blown up with some fireworks and someone utters insults to a lady he calls the "fairy" about not dropping the loot. A minute later (or two, if we are in an old and shady parking lot) the mall security shows up and obliterates whoever participated in the shopping cart gank. But soon they the guards all head off to a hotdog booth at the end of the parking lot because a small boy stole a bun and ran off. |
