This will not be a
problem if and when you ever meet me, my user name *is* my real name.
Lame according to some, but there you go. I am who I am and don't worry overmuch about '
cool' usernames unless the situation demands it. Mainly
games of varied types, to my way of thinking
E2 is a community, not a game. Of course, I'm not over consistent about it, my home email adress is an old roleplaying name, and my business adress (before the @) is the name I was going to rename the store to.
As far as calling others by their usernames, or being called by my own, I don't have a problem with that. From my experiences in the SCA and the US Navy, I'm quite used to having two or three different 'names' that I need to respond to, and to thinking of others by multiple names. Standing watch on my submarine I could be called 'MCC Supervisor', 'Supervisor', 'Petty Officer Lyons', 'Lyons' or 'Derek' depending on who was addressing me and in what context.
