How much does does your online personality differ from your ingame playstyle? Mine differs quite alot, at first I was such a nice guy in eve wouldnt hurt a flea and refused point blank to hurt, harm or grief anyone. Then the longer I played eve the more of a criminal I became  .
Now I take pleasure in peoples anguish and pain when I destroy thier property although IRL I am still the same as I used to be.
Now to you guys, how does your playstyle differ from your RL personality and has eve also turned you into being of pure malice?

I used to try to always be nice to everyone, thinking that if your a good person and never do wrong, life will reward you that way.
Now? Screw it. I care about my wife and son, but the rest can pretty much burn.
In game, I still try to be hospitable. But I don't get so upset seeing a pirate or a crook anymore. And I don't really mind telling someone that they are acting like a b*tch, either. I ain't pushing buttons, but there isn't a reason to keep a 'professional' face, either. I'll save the tact for the real world, where it counts. |

I am a little less fluffy in game than I am in real life, but, I am still very aware that its a person the other side of the screen, so engage brain before hitting letters on the keyboard mostly (and apologise muchly if I think the other person is feeling bad, for example
Me:"erm, flying back to repair, I have 1% structure, wtf were you doing with autotarget on?"
other guy: "****, I am so sorry, I really didnt look who I was shooting at"
Me: "no, no, I am sorry, its my fault,I should learn to fit passive targetters"
And, yes, in the above situation, I did try to warp out when my shield was at 10%, which was after about 3 hits, but couldn't warp  , and it was my fault, it had already happened with 2 other guys in the fleet, and I still didnt get the hint to go fit passive targetters 
However, I am more of a leader in games than I am in real life, less shy and nervous about saying something if I think it needs to be said or organised. |

I think the game I play affects how I am IRL...
I used to play Entropia (A game with no rules and no repercussions) and kind of turned into a trash talking scamming jerk....
Now that I'm playing EVE (A game with no rules and repercussions) I've toned down the trash talk and am generally a lot nicer to people. :) |

Much the same in game as IRL.
John Gabriel's Greater Internet ****wad Theory I think both gives people IRL too much credit and overplays the degree to which people forget that there's a human being on the other end of the computer. People remember, they just don't care. |

haha very true. However I can say I'm pretty much the same ingame as in RL. The only change I noticed that over time I developed abit of that 'veteran syndrom', the 'been there done that doing it tommorow' Pepsi max feeling.
I'm always aware there is another RL person at the other side. However we all know it's not always 'what comes around goes around'. Even if you're very friendly towards people, some will still act like a ****tard.

In real life I used to work hard for a government that would kill innocent people to secure valuable resources. I would hide behind the notion of being an innocent civilian despite paying loads of taxes which directly funded weapons of mass destruction. The system I helped support not only allowed greed to prosper, but actively encouraged it. The kind of greed that benefits a very few, and causes suffering to millions.
However in EVE, nobody gets hurt by my actions, and i build more stuff than I destroy :)

I'm not an ******* ingame or in real life either. Though I do tend to save it up for when someone slights me for no damn reason.
Take for instance this total ***** who cut in line in front of me at a Walmart. Here's this checkout, the girl at the till is waiting patiently, and there I am walking towards her with a smile and one item in my hand. This lady next to me with a cart full of whatevers suddenly speeds up, cuts me off, and starts to unload her groceries.
I stared at her for a minute solid while she went about her unloading. With a smile, I asked "I bet that made you feel good, didn't it?"
She kinda did a sideways glance, muttered "excuse me?", and tried to ignore.
Paraphrasing, I let loose with all 8 neutron blasters, with "Well I can only assume your home life is shit, that your husband beats you at least once a day for petty things, and your children are such s**trats you've considered suicide at least once or twice in the last twelve months alone. The only comfort you get is by treating strangers like crap, such as me with a single item in hand who would have taken maybe 10 seconds of this girl's time to ring in and pay for. But that's ok, I don't mind, I know what kind of home life you're going back to."
In a huff she took her stuff and hurried off after paying, I smiled and tossed a cheery "Have a great day!" at her back.
You should have seen the look on the cashier's face. :D

I am Middle class w/ 2 kids and a wife that has deep Christian Conservative values. I work 7am-4pm everyday then turn into Mr Hyde around 10pm after the kids are in bed.
Ingame I am a real jerk that lives for the gank and runs with a crew that has entirely to much fun at the expense of others that include targets and each other. Nothing like hearing a 2004 pilot make a mistake and the shouts of "Epic Fail!" on coms. I have been a real jerk online for ages because mainly its a release of stress and others are going to suffer by going kablooie! |

I think there's a difference between your in-game playstyle and your personality.
The problem isn't with nice people doing mean things, it's when normally rational people go completely apecrap in local or on voice comms. You can be an ebil pirate and still come across as something more than an an antisocial jerk.
The worst players aren't the ones who kill the most or do the most damage, they're the ones who ruin everyone else's fun by being x-phobic x-ist fountains of profanity. |

I try to be courteous and helpful in-game.
If someone kills my ship, or gangs up on me, or traps me or something then it doesn't bother me at all.
In real-life (and on the forums), I am fine unless I come across a complete bullshitter, then I rage.
I've had warnings for this in RL and on various forums (got my first one on here yesterday), but I can't help it
I also find myself yelling at the TV whenever a politician is being interviewed...
Can't stand people distorting the truth - especially when they know they're doing it.

I try to treat people how I would expect to be treated, both in real life and in-game. I'm not always an angel, but I expect that not everyone will always be an angel to me either so it balances out.
The only difference is that I don't expect to be shot, mugged, scammed, harassed, or generally taken advantage of in real life. |

I have the good cop/bad cop thing going on. I have a high sec only char that makes money in various ways (market, trade, standings, etc.) and he is a very nice person. However, when I log on this char (which is most of the time) I am a complete jerk and will kill anything that shows up in my overview (alliance, corp, gang don't show up in my overview). I guess in real life I am more like my high sec char, but at times I want to be like my low sec char but know that I can't or I won't be playing Eve (unless it is in a cell with a guy named Bubba). |

For me, my playstyle is almost the same as my RL personality. Saying that, my RL personality has changed over the years as has my playstyle. I used to be helpfull and nice in RL and as such, I became an anti-pie in game and blew up people that preyed on the weak.
Now, I have become more cynical and less caring in RL due to R-tards ( idiot neighbors, coworkers, bosses, politicians ) and my gameplay has adjusted accordingly. I dont defend those that are weak in game because they wont even try to defend themselves. Its wasted effort. I've pirated a few times in game, but that didn't agree with me. Kinda like standing outside grocery stores waiting on old ladies to come out, beating them up and stealing their groceries, wouldn't agree with me in RL.
So all in all, my playstyle is close to my RL personality and has changed with it. |

Honestly, I was all goody-goody when I started. Now, I'm as likely as not to shoot a noob at a gate just because he appeared on my overview and I was bored. As you age in-game, you get more desensitized.
In RL, I don't randomly hit people over the head, though. (yet) |

its pretty similar,
both IG and IRL I'll do what is needed to win and get what I want, including being not nice to others; ppl tend to take it personaly but they shouldnt, I'm quite friendly and helpful when there is no reason to not be, though I mostly do things that are in my own interest; personal gain > rest
IG I blow up random ppl but can have a friendly convo with them anytime; and IRL I'm pretty friendly with random ppl, but mostly I wont bother with them, call back, etc, if I gets me nothing
it might seems cold, but its working well |

In game you are not limited by certain rules, you show your true nature.
In RL your true nature is limited by law and law enforcement.
I think that if there were no legal or social limitations in RL (lawless state/anarchy), you'd behave similar like in game, according to your true nature, you'd take pleasure in peoples anguish and pain when you destroy their property.
I'd not want to meet you IRL in a state of lawlessness, at least not if you had a bigger gun than me.

I suppose I am a bit of a jerk in real life since I like to crack a lot of jokes, and jokes are usually at someones expense. Although those kind I tend to aim at myself since my friends know I am just kidding. I also have a bad habit of picking fights with people that look bigger or stronger than me.
In game I am like that except I also try to kill anyone I think is trying to send me subliminal messages. |

Hah! You have no idea how easy it is to troll in real life because you do not get silly bans and stuff like that - and noone can mute you (Well, I'm a big dude, try it!). But I always go to opposite against person who says something. As a atheist, it's always fun to troll another atheist by being "religious" person. |

In game you are not limited by certain rules, you show your true nature.
In RL your true nature is limited by law and law enforcement.
I think that if there were no legal or social limitations in RL (lawless state/anarchy), you'd behave similar like in game, according to your true nature, you'd take pleasure in peoples anguish and pain when you destroy their property.
I'd not want to meet you IRL in a state of lawlessness, at least not if you had a bigger gun than me.
I was really starting to wonder why this was the only untrolled thread in general discussion, now this thread is just like all the others. |

I think you are overusing the term "troll"/"untrolled".
Not every reply that does not please you has to be a troll-post.

I like to discuss much more in real life, because there's less trolls. And those who are, are easy to spot and sort out.
Generally, this.
In my own experience online forums aren't so much a place to discuss things as much as they are a place to make statements on subjects of interest to me and to make statements about statements made by other participants of the forum.
I find there are both advantages and disadvantages to forums, text chat and voice chat (both online and in person) when they are compared to each other. No single system is perfect and all are open to one form of exploitation or another. This is simply the impact of certain aspects of human nature upon communication and I accept this to be reality. |

I am nicer to players in EVE than people irl. In EVE if you meet annoying people you can block them, ignore them, join another corp, log off for the evening or finally blow them up. In real life the options are much more limited.

I'm generally courteous to people and show them the same amount of time and respect as they show me in and out of game. Try to help corp mates I trust with anything they need when asked. I like to contribute towards whatever collective goal we might have in whatever capacity my online time allows. I find it difficult to act negatively to someone unless they've really done something that especially offends me that would warrant more than just being ignored. |

I am the same in game as i am in RL. I have a tendency to **** off the idiots in RL just like I do in game. I can be a complete ******* when someone basically begs me to act like it. I am the counter ******* , *******. You act up for stupid reasons your going to find me cutting you down by making you look like a fool,ripping up your reasons and beating you over the head with the remains.
In eve ive been rather reserved. In another MMO, arguments were a daily,hell hourly event because of the idiots wanting to play games. People learned to keep their traps shut except for the most moronic of them all.
I don't care how many "yes"men you have polishing your knob, if your asking to be put in your place thats what I'm going to do.
I can be really laid back and friendly but that depends on the person I'm talking to. I can be the complete opposite when the situation demands it. I can't really tell you what i prefer to be, laid back or hammering away at some idiot that needs to be reduced to the pile of shit they really are. I enjoy both.
I do enjoy leveling cliques. Others in game and RL have also been happy that I am the ass that I am as they have someone that has been on their case put in their spot. So the ones that were being put down or forced to conform can finally relax and be themselves and enjoy,work,life or games just like everyone else.
Basically, "Rhino" is spot on when describing me in RL and in game. |

Actually this is something I went over with a girl I knew in RL. Basically I used to be quite and put up with more crap then I would now. But that wasn't really me. I was more myself in another mmo and it ended up serving basically as practice to being myself in RL. Some people are complete frauds online since they do have a monitor and miles between you and them and the unknown location factor.
I have had ******s on here try and talk trash as well as in other games without end. In RL, i know theres some that want to but don't have the balls to actually speak their mind. The more i become myself, the less crap people are willing to try and pull in RL. |

Granny should have used one of her grandchildren as a scout. Her fault, totally. |

How much does does your online personality differ from your ingame playstyle? Mine differs quite alot, at first I was such a nice guy in eve wouldnt hurt a flea and refused point blank to hurt, harm or grief anyone. Then the longer I played eve the more of a criminal I became . Quote:
You can observe this difference to a lesser extent by looking at people in small towns vs. in large cities. In the latter people *tend* to be more rude etc, since they have less to lose by being a jerk (the other person is unlikely to see and recognise them again). |

For me, my playstyle is almost the same as my RL personality. Saying that, my RL personality has changed over the years as has my playstyle. I used to be helpfull and nice in RL and as such, I became an anti-pie in game and blew up people that preyed on the weak.
Now, I have become more cynical and less caring in RL due to R-tards ( idiot neighbors, coworkers, bosses, politicians ) and my gameplay has adjusted accordingly. I dont defend those that are weak in game because they wont even try to defend themselves. Its wasted effort. I've pirated a few times in game, but that didn't agree with me. Kinda like standing outside grocery stores waiting on old ladies to come out, beating them up and stealing their groceries, wouldn't agree with me in RL.
So all in all, my playstyle is close to my RL personality and has changed with it.
Noooo, Olleybear.. Hedal is no longer safe.. hm not that it ever was from the BYDI :)..
heheh.. me, i'm just a normal guy in RL, in game i tend to do a bit of everything, change with my surroundings and the crowd that's in the region and the people i play with.. but really whatever happens to be my mood at the moment.. it's a game after all... |

Personally, I'm not too different in EVE than I am out of game. I've never been one to inflict unnecessary grief on others, and I'm usually more than willing to go out on a limb to help other people. |

I try, with a fair amount of success, to be an all round decent guy in game and in RL.
Having said that, I view low sec and 0.0 as regions for aggrssive competition. So I will shoot folks there.
As part of trying to be decent, there are two things I have gotten fairly heated up on: The BIG one was when a certain in game group mocked the Real Life death in a traffic accident of a player. The specific individual that did this has no remourse, and remains in that group. On a much lesser scale, folks that beg CCP to ruin other folk's game for no "practical" reason annoy me, and I don't hide it.

I am mostly a strong advocate for morality in everything, RL or otherwise. Worst I get is a bit mouthy when someone instigates and I'm not sober, but I stay sober nowadays. I just can't bring myself to have fun at another persons expense when I know there's another human being on the other side.
I tried training up an alt pirate one time but he ended up running missions.
edit: actually there was one act of deviance but i'll never get into that. i don't feel very good about myself without at least mentioning it, though. (and i believe karma knows no boundaries)

Not really. In a large city there's just a lot more people and the ones that are obnoxious stand out a lot more. I'm sure you don't notice the other perfectly polite and well mannered hundred or so people walking down the street - you only notice the ones bumping into you or cursing up a storm in public.
I live in NYC and I can say that on the whole people are nice and decent - you just have rotten apples that are very hard not to notice. |
