I am currently viewing the other escapists through a 19 inch flat screen monitor, with HDMI resolution of 1280 X 720.

Not sure if someone's mentioned it, but.. I think Aylaine died in a car crash. (If I'm wrong I'm going to be so incredibly embarrassed. >.>)
When you say it, that does sound awfully familiar. But:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.277357-Inner-Conflict-of-the-Heart-Mind#10790376

That's the last thread she made, where she explained her situation and why she quit the escapist.
I don't think she died. At least I hope she didn't.
Thank god. I almost...I don't even know what I almost did. Made a comically exaggerated expression of confusion and surprise probably...

I tend to super impose a personality upon the various escapists generated by a combination of their avatar, the topics they post in, and the nature of their replies. For the most part I get along pretty well with the escapist personel but there are those who I would rather be cast into the deepest pits of Hell. But all in all, everyone has a personality to me.

I haven't been too active in this forum, but my first encounter was of a thread about how the 3DS was spying on people (except it wasn't at all it just logged what you bought and played like other consoles do) and the majority of people in the thread were either seeing if there was a way to turn off the activity log or saying they would refuse to buy a 3DS based on the fact it logged your activity, some even saying Nintendo was spying on people through the cameras. I could have left it there and said you were paranoid, but the more i skimmed, the more i saw that it was more diverse than Alex Jones' fans.

So you're generally nice people with a few idiots lining the walls. Like most communities on the internet i guess.

i recognise some of the posters on here, mostly those that are funny or have an interesting avatar, but you can group the users into these groups:

- 'really intelligent', have horrible social skills and are a misanthrope

- generally nice and gives helpful advice

- troll

- MLP lover
This, is correct. I will add though - "intelligent" ones are also very, very snobby. And thats about 2 thirds of the forum.
Agreed. Also, speaking of knowing fellow escapists, LuckyClover95 and I were about to run off to Cuba to escape the evil Captain Killosaur at one point, but eventually did nothing.

As for everyone else, I usually just recognize avatars and types of responses those people give. FallutJack is a name that always stands out, for an example. I dont know anything else about them, really. I just come across them and notice them more easily. Like LuckyClover95, who at this point really should be suspicious of how I always seem to find and reply to her posts ever so often.

Haha I'm not suspicious, I enjoy it, carry on!
And I'm SO SORRY about the Cuba thing, have I created a new dishonest Escapist catagory? :( :p

I recognize names of the people I know in real life (which is one person) and people like this weird dude, DonMartin, who like replies to everything 0.o ;D
And SnowyRainbow, who I haven't seen around in a while, sad times :(

It depends... my opinions of people on this site vary widely. I prefer to see people as individuals rather than lumping people together in groups. Overall... there are a good number of posters (many of whom are the so-called "big posters") who I know quite well personally, and most of them are friends of mine that I talk to on a semi-regular basis. There are a tiny handful of people I don't like, but I don't pay them any mind whatsoever so long as they stay away from me.

But... beyond who I know personally, I don't really add any "label" to people at all. To me, there are simply people who I know and people who I don't know. I don't like to generalize people, or put them into groups.

Also... I don't really care about people's avatars, but rather the quality of their personality, or their posts. Avatars are merely a reflection of how a person wishes to present themselves, but beyond that don't really mean much.

So... I either know you personally... or I don't, and therefore assume nothing about you.

With that said... i'm sure there are plenty of good people among those who I have yet to meet. :3

As informative, slightly squawky text boxes, of course! Some text boxes look more familiar, and I've had conversations with a few of them, about things in their text-boxy life.

Although there can be hidden, secret nods to shadowy organizations in them as well. But yeah, the mean nothing more than how a person wishes to be seen :)

Humph.

Does the Spanish Inquisition count as a secret shadowy organisation do you think?

I won't say any names here, but I will vent a bit.
I apologize in advance to anyone who gets offended because you think I am talking about you or if you realize it is you that I am talking about

Foxtrot: You are a cool guy and you are really creative but it seems like you don't know your own strength. By that I mean, you have a sort of rock-star-like reputation around here and it dose kind of shift the dynamics of things. Here is an example: when you and someone else both apply for a specific position in an RP, your escapist-fame makes it considerably more likely that you will get picked even if both sheets are equally high quality. Maybe you just want to be humble or maybe you are just ignoring it because you don't want it to be that way. Either way, I don't hold it against you and still consider you a friend.

Lima: I don't know what happened to you or what happened between you and me, but you've become kind of a douche. You have a lot of creative talent, but for some reason you've started acting really snobbish and pretentious lately. I got a PM from someone about how you were rather unnecessarily dick-ish in your declining of their request to join your RP, and then there is the matter between us. I first noticed you had a sour attitude towards me when you made that post where you insulted me in an infuriatingly casual and passing way, as if it was a well known fact that no one take me seriously (which is provably wrong), and when I asked you what you meant by that you didn't respond, which is pretty damn cowardly in my book. Maybe you think it should be obvious or something, but seriously, get this shit worked out.

Echo: I really do respect you and I think you are really creative in RP's both as a player and a GM, but honestly dude, you really need to work on not being such a buzz kill. I know you aren't doing it on purpose, but you really seem to have issues with doing anything even slightly risky. Everything has to be set and ready for you. Don't get me wrong, it still works very well with you at the reins, but you need to loosen up and broaden your horizons dude. I still think your cool though.

I've actually been here a lot longer than my date and post count let on; I just got into trouble and had to run for a bit.

But as for how I see people here... depends on my mood. Sometimes I love this place. Sometimes I hate it. Mostly I see the people here with the same mixture of disinterest and mild disdain I show 9/10 people I know.
except for me unless you're lying to me *looks at with suspicion*

OT: I can recognise a fair bit of people here and most people I just couldn't care less about. I have friends on here(that I talk to fairly regularly outside of the forums) that have actual personalities and I give a shite about. Then there is the trolls and everyone else that I just ignore/roll my eyes at
