A touch of reality...

[catfud]

Just curious to see if peeps would actually bother to post pics of themselves if there was a RL pics thread...

If I get to the RL meet - I'm sure someone will manage to graba photo of me then.

Thats a good point

Same as Psylo really. Not quite as ugly as a troll, but still don't feel the need for people to see me IRL. With character games, I prefer not to see the real person, as the character provides the appearance I need.

I'm also not a photo person - I like photos of space, of distant planets, of newly discovered micro-organisms (I'm plucking randomly here). I don't have a huge love for photos of people really, unless they're close or special to me. Mind you, I'm an anti-social 'smoker' and have been for some years - I guess that has a bearing on it too.

EDIT: Another good reason is the trans-gender nature of MMOs, something I personally don't agree with for several unkown reasons. For example, finding out your pint-sized sexy Tryker friend is in fact a 20-stone guy called Bob with a beard. I have nothing against people who weigh 20 stone (even if they have a beard and are called Bob), but I think you see my point

See im always curious of the face behind the face, so to speak and love looking at photos of other ppl. A while back we had a RL pics thread on our guild forums and it proved to be a big hit, it racked up far more hits than any other thread.

Aye, I'm quite antisocial at times tho, so maybe that has something to do with it (I grew up in Derbyshire with loud, beer-swilling idiots, which might have something to do with it). I'm happy to look at photos of attractive women all day, but I've been told that's not healthy

It all depends on why you're looking at the photo I guess. Could you say why it is that you enjoy looking at photos so much? And what it is you're looking for? If I looked at a photo of someone, I'd really be looking at the scenery or the environment around them, to see where they were, and guage what situation they were in at the time (Apologies to the person in the photo...)

it's ok Daz. After the initial shock, those reality, blemishes and all, will start to grow on you

Not so much photos of any random ppl, but people that I play online with once I get to know them a bit i generally generate an image of what they look like in my head, and seeing an actualy photo then gives me the chance to cross match my image with their actual appearance, I guess i assochiate the face with a lot of communication and when its not there i have to make one.

There were some pictures from the first RL meet. Seren, Neun, Jool, Sprite, Mioete, Shadowwe, Xavier, Jyudas, and Rashan.

But none of me. But that's because I had the camera and noone else's worked
