What would you do if you saw a UESP member in public? (Poll)

Check-Nate · Post by **Check-Nate** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 6:56 pm

So I believe I saw this poll around a couple years ago, however it's dead now so I guess I'll make this one. Its interesting to see what people would do because it can very well happen, (although unlikely) I thought it happened so many times in the past.
So there are four questions

Obviously, What would you do if you saw a UESP member in person? (assuming you know what they look like from the post a picture thread) Would you confront them? Stare?

Do you know anyone in person that is a UESP member? if so who?

Have you ever seen, or thought you have seen another UESP member in person?

How would you want to be confronted if someone saw you, if at all?

AND ALSO!!!!!
If you think you see someone in public, or see someone in the future, tell us about it on this thread!

What would you do if you saw a UESP member in person? Would you confront them? Stare? I'd say hi!

and then ask if you want a beer.

Do you know anyone in person that is a UESP member? Yes. 1.

Have you ever seen, or thought you have seen another UESP member in person? No.

I'm waiting for the day I can scream "AVRON!" and then glomp her.

HatofMadness · Post by **HatofMadness** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:10 pm

If i saw Avron, I would not say hi. instead, i would hide, stalk, and wait for the opportune moment to have someone crouch behind her and i walk by, push, and bask in the glory of a new viral youtube video.

Oh i'm just S'witting around.

I think the most likely response for me would be to not believe it was them and then when I got home I would post, "So yeah, I saw someone today that completely looked like a forum member." Then wait to feel like an ass for not saying hello.

Ha ha most definitely stare awkwardly. Although if I saw them up here in the AK, I would probably have to show them around the wilderness.

This or walk by them and wait for them to say hi to me.

I would run for my life.

Joking aside, i would say hi and talk to them.

Depends who they are, who they are with, who am I with and how certain I am that it's them.

Eltee · Post by **Eltee** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:36 pm

If I saw them randomly, I would probably (>.>) stare at them for several minutes, and if I was sure it was them (or reasonably so) I would approach and greet them by their username. Hopefully that would cause the mental spark required for them to recognize the big bearded dude as Eltee.

I introduced an infrequent user, Skillest, to UESP. He is one of my best friends IRL.

I thought I saw Frosty once, but then I noticed it was a girl and was embarrassed.
And, of course, there was the time I met up with my honorary First Forum Friend Mars in a hotel in Berlin. Which was awesome. ^.^

Vendetta · Post by **Vendetta** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:48 pm

Actually I would ask "Do you use the UESP forums?" first.

It is a bit less awkward than a name.

I once thought I saw Union, I asked that very question. Nope :c.

No I didn't go to his room, you goddamn pervert.

You can't say I didn't try. Prude.

HatofMadness · Post by **HatofMadness** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:56 pm

Ohhh forum friends....^_^

Post by **MARS** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:57 pm

You still owe the people non-nostril view pics.

Post by **Musicman247** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:57 pm

If I saw one of you I thought I recognized I'd probably stare a few times then take out my phone to see if I could find a pic of you to confirm. Once your identity was confirmed I'd probably watch you for a while longer just to see if you'd see me and recognize me first, and if not I'd go up and say, "Hi!" then wait for the sure to come "ZOMIGOD ITS MUSICMAN!!!11!!"

I know zero of you from physical interaction....that I know of. But Avron and I used to meet via Skype for ukulele lessons every week, and I video Skyped with Ranga360 once just so he could test his tablet (I chose not to show myself, since it was 5am and I had just woken up).

I've never truly thought I've seen any of you before, but I imagine it sometimes...

Post by **MARS** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:59 pm

Oh yeah, what I'd do.

"Uh...is that you, [username/real name]?"

Linkuya · Post by **Linkuya** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:04 pm

Picked the first one.

Eltee · Post by **Eltee** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:05 pm

Right, Marsi. Still need to upload my pics to the computer. Will get on that nau.

Argonanza · Post by **Argonanza** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:06 pm

"Is that you, [username]?"

But if it was Mars, I'd back up, make a sprint and give him a high-momentum brofist ~~in the face~~.

Post by **Musicman247** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:07 pm

You guys are only answering the first question.

Post by **MARS** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:09 pm

Oh, that's right >_>

Question #2: No, I don't think I do.

#3: Yes! I met Eltee. Don't let him fool you, he really is an anthro-wolf.

#4: "Hey, Mars, I'm [username] from the UESP! Wanna grab a drink? :D"

Check-Nate · Post by **Check-Nate** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:14 pm

Added a new question!! WOOP

Well I would probably just stare and bring it up later on the forums. I am a pretty social person, but it wouldn't be worth the embarrassment if I screamed "MUSICMAN!!!!" or "AVRON" to someone who just looked like them. To the second question, yes I know my cousin, cmann9.... hes not really into the Elder Scolls at the moment, but I keep badgering him to get on this site

. As for the third question I keep thinking I see Avron all the time, she used to live near me, It was probably her EVERYTIME. For the fourth question, I'm not sure if i would want anyone to confront me, it may be..... awkward, but I wont be upset if you guys do.

#1. Depends on the user, but if I was 90% sure it was them, I'd probably walk up, say hi, and ask them by username
#2. Yes and No, I friend that was part of UESPF before I joined, but he moved and I never made the connection (Though I can't imagine he's too active these days..)
#3. No, but Avron has a (pretty close) doppelganger in Maine that I went to highschool with
#4. I doubt anyone would recognize me and would be completely disturbed or astounded that they could make that connection..

If it was you Nate, I'm sure I'd be pulled in for questioning as a pedophile for the random hug and probably disturbed reaction
