Title: When people start to notice
Post by: SteampunkWolfdog on November 21, 2012, 03:18:33 pm
This is all very new to me.  :o People ingame are starting to recognise me, at least on the Doctor Flob character. I have random ferals I've never met run up to me, give me hugs or just saying hi. Other more extreme cases have been when I walked past someone and they said to me I was their idol.  :o
I'm not sure what to make of this...Not that I'm complaining, it's just...a very odd feeling.

I'm sure some of you lot have experienced a similar thing too. Care to share these exeriences, however weird and outlandish they might be?  ;)

I know this feeling.
I agree that it's an odd feeling. It's nice when people have a friendly conversation with you and all, but it can quickly go over to the uncomfortable zone.
I mean, I love talking to people, but it's a little awkward when they behave as if you're their best friends.
It also seems to tick off a few friends of mine as well when it happens.

Trying to talk to administrators or mods is really awakward.
Twice I've whispered Red, and he always replies in one word scentences or not at all.
But then again, I think thats how he is.... I don't know if other "famous on the forums" people are like this :/

*Shrug* Honestly the best thing to do is ignore them or just tell them to stop over-reacting over you. If I saw a mod/admin enter I'd just say "Hi <Famous person name> x3".

Never had this. xD But I guess if I saw my role-model in real life, wandering around outside my house, i'd say hi xD

Is very nice to find people who knows you, and then you easily get new friends. Now you feel you are not alone anymore.

But after a while, you get some random friend requests sometimes, and you just accept those who are nice people.
Later, you notice you have more than 150 people on your friend list, and you cannot hang with everyone at same time, then everyone want to be with you and you get flooded with chat at local and whispers, then in some cases (especially if someone is your mate) they fight to be with you. You cannot have 5 minutes of peace with someone without having to answer someone.
You end by fearing public maps with a lot of people, and living in a corner of the last cave or atlantis.

I think it's nice to find people who recognize you from the forums, it gives you a feel that you're actually within the community.
I don't often find people approaching me, but meeting strangers is rather a nice - I've always enjoyed making new friends, and introducing them to mine.
Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming, and it becomes embarassing if someone shouts: ''HEY ZARO I SAW U ON THE FORUMS.'' in general, but I love whisparz.

Good God, I hope it doesn't come to that! It sounds frightening xD

That used to be me. I would say hi on general chat and people would be like "OMG Ingredient!!" and "I know you from the forums! :D" One lovely person said that i was a role model to them, they looked up to me. It's a nice feeling to have people say things like that to you. Never have i had any of those experiences Thierry, sounds awfully frightening.

I'm not so noticed anymore so it's kind of a lost feeling if you know what i mean, it was nice while it lasted.

YES, someone in cape got so happy to see me they started dancing. I've had a few randoms say hi to me, sit on me... It was a bit freaky but now it's either nice or annoying depending on the 'fan'

I feel like I'm somewhat well-known, noticed, and recognized here on FH.  I seem to get mobbed every now and then because of my realistic night and day mod (I can confirm to you that it is VERY popular--420 downloads and counting!), it usually goes like this:

Me: *le sitting in Fluorite*
Random person: ...Mink?  Mura the Mink?  Maker of the night/day mod? 
Me: Yeah, why? 
Random person: Wow!  I never thought I'd meet you! 
Random person (in General): OMFG EVERYBODY MURA THE MINK IS AT NZ! 
Everybody in the map: YAY!  *mobs me* 
Me: Help!  D: 

Since when I'm in Fluorite I'm usually Hohki (from TEC), I generally get rid of them by either stealing their souls or "disappearing in a wisp of smoke".  Or both :D

Kids often do this I notice. Seeing someone on forums that is actually in game. But it's nice to see nice people from time to time. But there are those moments where you just get random friend invites from people. Now if you ignore them, then it will sometimes hurt the other user who is greeting you. A simple "Hello" would be ok.

I have had alot of random people recognize me in game and my only complaint is that it can be a bit awkward for me when they continue to stand in front of me staring in silence or follow me around in silence once I've greeted them. I don't always know what to say or conversate about with strangers and it's awkward when they expect it.

I am a fairly warm and friendly person but for the most part I don't really like to talk much unless it's a mature discussion or I am with close trusted friends or family. I prefer to sit around in silence most of the time just observing people and learning about them before making any efforts to introduce myself to them or chat. I don't mind the random fuzzlings jumping up on me to sit on me or curl up with me for a little casual chat though. As long as people respect me and don't start buttswinging in my face or on me I am tolerant to the random cuddles. Most people are just trying to be friendly and everyone has their own way of being so. I think it's quite flattering that someone would recognize me from the forum and be so fond of me. Sure there are those days that I can be overwhelmed especially when I am interrupted from RP or talking to a friend but most people here are kids... it's expected behavior from young fuzzlings lol. I doubt someone who is soo happy to meet you has any intentions of coming off as rude, they're just excited to see someone the recognize from the forum. Just be polite and greet them but be firm about telling them that you're in the middle of something but that they are welcomed to stay if they like. It disappoints me when I see others get "fanned" on and they rudely brush them off as if they are "noobs" or ignore them...  not very nice

As for random friend requests... well I don't like to add just anyone unless I really like and trust them but if one of these "fans" adds me depending how well our first meeting goes then I decide whether to keep them on or not. If it's just one of those "Hi!!!I know you from the forum" -then runs away- adds I just accept it until they are offline and then I remove it. Simple as that really...

Zhis happened with me once~ o3o. Slightly creepy. . every once in awhile I was couched by random people-- nothing very extreme though. Found it rather amusing really xDD. Usually had a rather interesting conversation with them. But it was just the occasional floof that recongnized me from the forum, most likely when I was more active- which was during the summer. I'mmaSummerFloof.
