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

oh..... dear

[Chaos the N'wah]

Would you prefer I go back to poking you in the eye?

[ZackyZombify]

No one will find me. Ever. Muahaha.

[Check-Nate]

Would you prefer I go back to poking you in the eye?

Id prefer anything as long as you don't hug me, creep

Um no i wouldn't like that!!! i actually like my eyes.. but if a man does hug me randomly I'll know its you and I'll never shower again!!!

You still owe the people non-nostril view pics.

Awwww yiss.

I probably wouldn't recognize anybody, so I'd walk by without saying anything. Assuming I did recognize somebody, I'd probably just walk by.
And considering where I live (the good ol' middle of nowhere)... I doubt anybody has even been around here.
If somebody should see me, it would be best if they just walked past. Things would get extremely awkward if you approached me asking if I was Mauin. Either that or you would get my glare and witness me just wandering off.

I might talk online, but I'm not like this offline. I'm not a social person. I very much prefer to be left alone.

"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.

Mmmmm, it really would be no different than with my xbox friends >_> but it would differ. Most people would see a weirdo yelling out their username.. then hide and confirm it's them, stalk, yell out the name again, and just overall mess with them >_< and once I'm close enough.. whisper into their ear either their username or real name >_> which ever would creep em out more.

Why is there no option for "Ignore them and carry on with my day"? Because chances are that's what I'd do. If I've seen pictures of you before, and cared enough to remember what you look like, then maybe I would take a second and make a mental connection, but odds are I wouldn't interact with you in any way.

Don't know anyone in person who is a UESP member.

Never seen anyone I thought might be a UESP member

If someone was 100% that it was me, I really wouldn't care what they'd do. If you ran up all excited and said hi, I'd politely respond and carry on with whatever I was doing. No pictures, no joint forum posts, none of that. Simply, "Nice to meet you," and done.

[The-Shadow-One]

I know two people in real life that are uesp people if inactive.. I also Skyped with Justice, Hissien and Gandalf.. I'm fairly goo.

[Avron the S'wit]

If I saw any of you I would treat you just like I do all the people I see all the time...which is politely, say hello, probably offer to buy you lunch. (My biggest joy in life is bringing my friends to meals. Don't ask why. I like to see everyone happy.) No theatrics.

My cousin is a UESP member; I will not reveal who he is. I also know quite a few of you in varying details. I have several people who I consider friends from the forums, and I talk with many of you; I have for years now. Of course, my version of friendship varies from some people, and I've also lost good friends here. Such is life. Carry on! Or write an academic blog about it. Whatever.

I met one of you once. True story. We had the biggest pizza slices known to man, because that's what the NJ/NYC border is good for. Like Musicman said, we also used to have Skype uke lessons. Actually...those were really fun. We should do it again!

I'm a social butterfly. I frequented the biggest city in the US. And I've also learnt that I am, for whatever reason, really approachable. I used to have two updates every week on the crazy stories of random people who have had absurd conversations with me. Yeah - I've been approached by a ton of people, some benign and some who are downright absurd, and I've treated them all warmly. So honestly, as long as you don't try to kill me, I'll welcome you with open arms and make you feel right at home. And if you do try to kill me, be warned: I carry pepper spray and I throw a mean right hook.

That's right, a girl has to keep an alert eye at all times. I'm pretty approachable, unless you are a complete weirdo then you'll get attitude for sure.

[Musicman247]

Well I guess I would get attitude.

That, and back in the city I was prone to getting home very late, with all the trains, buses, and subways. I used to walk through town after a day of work and class, and wouldn't walk in my door until midnight. One mile in the dark? You'd be nuts not to have pepper spray.

[Dohva.]

I have more than pepper spray in my purse. Its not me that'll be going down, that's for damn sure.

And MM, by creepy I mean the type that's clearly disturbed and looking for trouble. I doubt you're like that haha.

[The-Shadow-One]

But he is.
He is Dovahkiin.

[Musicman247]

You didn't say creepy, you said weirdo, and after tonight's performances you would be hard pressed to find someone who would not label me as such.

But I digress.

[Musicman247]

Dang. I need to get more of my friends on here. >_>

[all_freed]

If a friend ever asked you to spray and/or punch them, would any of you do it?

[BetaB17]

Depends who

[Archer]

Spray as in pepper spray? Yes, I would. And I have. To both. But ,if it makes anyone feel better, they did the same to me. As for the poll, I would just be casual. If I recognized them anyway.

Careful. The last time somebody tried whispering something in my ear, they got whacked.

Actually... That kinda happens a lot anyway. Beware the fist.
Which reminds me...

Pointless short story:

Spoiler:

There was one kid in my gym class a few years ago who was doing, ah, "inappropriate dance moves" (mostly because of the location) in front of me. I glared at him as a warning to back off and he didn't, so out came the fist. I was originally aiming about a foot to the left of his head, but I managed to hit him square in the forehead. The guy toppled backwards, staggered back onto his feet, and then laughed his way across the gym.

Once I realized what happened (a second or two later) I cracked up and was doubled over in the corner because I was laughing so damn hard.
Along with half of the people in the gym.

And so that day stood in infamy for the rest of my time in school. Heck, it even came up at my graduation ceremony (which I wasn't present at thanks to family matters). I can guarantee you that if I accidentally run into any of my classmates, they will bring that day up again. I may or may not remember it.

Well, at least now I know I have to aim about a foot to the left if I actually want to hit something.

[BetaB17]

I have an older brother, so naturally I'm use to the abuse^^ but I am a goof ball though. If say it was someone who ik personally yet never met face to face.. even in a crowd I would lift them up high without warning as if giving a hug>_> be glad that wont happen
