Geez, what is this, a top secret place? Area 51? :P

Yup, my friends know that I am on this forum. At my age I have whittled my friends circle down into people I can be myself with, and that includes being a gamer geek even when the majority isn't. Besides, this place pops up into my conversations from time to time, as I've gone and actually made friends with several members. I don't really have a distinction between "in real life" friends and "forum" friends.

My one friend, upon her telling me I was appointed "Tea Party Moderator," started to call me "Hot Pink Mama Grizzly." If you get the reference, I might give you a cookie.
Huzzah!

Is it to do with Sarah Palin? No, surely not. We're not like that here.

No. I don't have a social life, therefore nobody from it knows...

No, we're not like that...but I happen to dislike her, and my friend thought it was good enough to tease me since I am a "Tea Party Moderator." Bah, humbug!

My friend knows, though I don't talk about this place much. My family knows as well, and I'm fairly certain my sister is well informed of forum going ons.

No one I know in real life, mostly because my friends are not familiar with elder scrolls. My family does know the I am on forums frequently.

No...
Well, my mom, kinda. Except she thinks it's just another wiki and isn't video game related. :P


And I don't want my in real life friends here. They think that they're super awesome gamers, but they really aren't... If I told them about a blue screen of death or something, they'd just be all "WTF" and continue talking about their little Final Fantasy games.
/sigh

I only know one person who I'm not related to who likes TES, and he's a little eleven year old metal-head whose hair is longer than mine. :mrgreen:

Well I don't really care who knows and who doesn't. I don't exactly walk around broadcasting the fact that I have an account, but you get the idea.

But, apparently, my dad is an undercover member who watches but does not post... and he knows me... he has yet to contact me, though...

I don't think so, actually. If my 11-year-old was running around on the Internet, I would want to know what he was doing, too. No offense to you, Gandalf...I come from simpler times, when the Internet was distributed on CD-ROMs in the mail and there were crazy parental controls. 8)

No, not that i keep it a secret or anything its just it has never come up. I don't know many people who are into tes, and I couldn't debate lore with the few that i do.

No, no reason for them to ask, no reason for them to know. No one in my immediate family or friend circle likes TES as much as I do, so it never comes up about the game, or the website, or even where they could go to find info on the games.
