no realy it is often troublesome that when I talk as a person, my messages are often read as a GM post...
Here's the thing - regardless of our intentions when we post, a GM is ALWAYS representing BB. The users will definitely see the GM prefix and attach more importance to what you post, and will not differentiate between your opinion and a more "official" stance.
I know, and it's exactly what I find troublesome.
It limits my freedom of speech. ;)
I (mostly) try to think about it when I post, but I must admit that I'm not always succesfull.
I have no trouble with the person I am or the way I post (ok, somethimes posts are written in a certain intonation, and then read otherwise, but that's common to written language so we can't much help it).
I don't need to be diffrent as a GM then as who I am in person, the more troublesome parts are that when I give my opinion on a game aspect, which is ALWAYS based upon my own experiences, people take it as truth because I am GM.
As a GM I have no more access to truths about the game and engine then any other user, I somethimes wished everyone would realise that.
Also I like jokes in posts, to spice up the fun aspect. It seems GMs often are taken to be incapable of being funny and our posts are always taken too seriously. Ofcourse when we write in function of GM it is to be taken seriously, which is why it would help to be able to drop the prefix when I want to post something funny.
I like the '
add 1M to my economy'-button to much to give up the GM title though. ;þ
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
