Online, I think rather highly of you for some reason, We haven't even spoken directly. You just seem like a nice guy, you get shit done, you're a leader, I don't know if that's because you're a mod or not.
Except for the magazine. Oh, the magazine.
Also, I think you're a pretty cool dude but I don't really know you!

I'll solve the mystery behind this "magazine team". 8)
I forgot about this topic until I linked it elsewhere. Let me answer.
Online Life
I'm Mog, dawg. I like a lot of you, so therefore I roll with you guys. Discussion topics, community events, and some of you talk to me on AIM. I try to get along with everyone while still doing my job at RMN/being a member of the community. I think I'm an alright dude, but like I said, I seem to be pretty bad at looking at myself from this angle.
Real Life
In real life, I'm mostly the same guy, but now I have the nuances that real life communication entails, like body language, dress, inflection of voice, etc.
In real life I guess I can be mostly described as friendly, outgoing, social, and such. The thing is though I seem to manage to be all of these things without conforming to any one social group or clique, so over the years, since high school, I have managed to make a LOT of friends from EVERY subculture, it seems. In any given day I can be walking on campus, and one guy will say to me 'EY YO WHAT'S UP DAWG', and the next guy will be like 'HEY DUDE TOTALLY WHAT'S GOING ON?'? I get invited to mad parties and events and shit but I only go to about half of them because I don't want to get burnt out.
I don't know ever since I was little I never had problem making friends, girlfriends, whatever! I always seem to know the RIGHT thing to say or something, whether be a job, getting a C instead of an E, getting a girlfriend to have sex with me MINUTES AFTER WE BROKE UP. Sometimes I wonder if my ancestors made a deal with the devil or something and eventual son will rise up to strike me down. My luck is going to FUCKING RUN OUT.

Personally I feel there's no doubt that it's easier to adapt to different kinds of behaviour online than in real life - simply due to lesser consequences. However, I think one would probably not feel comfortable staying in a non-genuine persona for a long period of time, no matter the medium.
