This has been really bothering me and I have nobody to tell this to but you, r9k. Greentext because you guys like that so much:
>Friendless robot, no life obviously
>Tries a new MMORPG
>Picks a girl character and pretend to be a girl for the added attention/help from others/general niceness/etc
>Play with another girl, we're having fun and she invites me to her clan
>I pretend I'm somewhat of a normie (true normie girls don't play MMORPGS) who goes out to party every week. I log off or change status to invisible on friday and saturday nights.
>Playing with members of the clan almost daily, having a total blast, it's like I actually have friends
>They invite me over to their voice chat. I do have a microphone, but obviously cannot use it. Since it does show up in the voice chat client I claim it is broken. In reality I tried to mute the volume and tape it off with several layers of tape.
>All the girls in the clan are girls IRL. I feel very awkward at this point.
>Have dreams that I'm sitting in a room with my clan mates and they can all see I'm guy.
>Eventually, they start exchanging facebook info.
>Realize I can either make a fake facebook account which they will probably find out is fake soon enough, or pretend I don't have facebook which contradicts my lifestyle.
>Instead I tell them I gtg and will be back on later. I log out and never log in again since friend lists and clans are shared across all characters on your account.
>3 years later
>I log in, clan was either disbanded or I got kicked from it
>Nearly all friends removed me from their friend list
>Feel like I lost true friends. Get depressed. Sulk around a bit in the game to get some good memories back.
>One of the two friends still on my list logs in
>Consider telling her the truth or logging out ASAP before she notices I'm online
>Log out

This is going to be good. Also what game?
>Since it does show up in the voice chat client I claim it is broken. In reality I tried to mute the volume and tape it off with several layers of tape.
Why didn't you just unplug it?
>>24595565
>>3 years later
Three years man. Three years.
>>24595690
Could be built in laptop mic
she prolly doesn't even remember who you are tbqh
>"Hi do you remember me from 3 years ago?"
>"ughhh name might be kind of familiar idk sorry"
>>24595565
>Afraid of logging in again
>Afraid of playing another MMORPG in fear of the same thing happening again
I feel like I was punished for lying. I'm not sure what to do now. I can get over the money and time I spent on that account, but it's that I feel uneasy playing MMORPGs now. I can't pretend to be a girl again in fear of the same thing happening. I can play as a girl character and admit I'm a guy, but that feels just awkward to me. I can play as a male but I've gotten so used to playing as a girl that I'm not sure if I can really enjoy MMOs that way. You do get better treatment which I got too used to, plus I spent many hours gathering equipment to dress up my character which just isn't as fun to do with male characters.
I also wonder if I should go back to the old game and send the girl a PM explaining everything. I'm not planning on playing on that account anymore though. Just thinking that this will bring me some relief. I feel like I've lied to and betrayed my best friends. Never thought I would end up like this.

Not comfortable in telling, sorry. Want to stay as anonymous as possible.
>>24595690
I couldn't, it was built into my monitor.
>>24595803
Three years tho? Seriously? Did you really expect anyone to still be around?
>>24595781
You're probably right. I'm getting emotional because these people are the closest I've had to friends in a really long time, but I was "just another girl" to them. Still, we did many things together, we used our real life names for things, I spent months in that guild, over half a year for sure. I'm sure she would have some kind of an idea of who I was.
>>24595803
A lot of people that play MMOs including myself don't fall for your shit. "It's a guy until she speaks on the mic" is the golden rule. Just be a loser beta bitch with hairy balls irl like the rest of us guys playing MMOs
>>24595875
In other MMOs that I played I sometimes had a "creeper" following me. I would get rid of that guy by not logging in for 2 weeks or so because by then their attention has shifted. Several months after I logged off I logged back in, thinking people had kicked me and forgotten about me, but they didn't. I was still in the clan and people still had me in my friend list. I figured three years would be enough for a fresh start, that is until that girl logged in. I was as baffled as you.
>>24595900
The people who don't believe me don't matter, it's the ones that do who matter. And trust me, there are enough of those. I also wasn't the only "girl" who didn't speak on voice chat, but the ones who didn't, did give out their facebook. So they weren't faking it.

>The people who don't believe me don't matter, it's the ones that do who matter.
you're building a friendship on a massive lie, I'm not judging but that seems very delusional
>>24595995
>I was as baffled as you.
Oh, OK.
Well, personally I might try admitting the truth, you never know, you might still end up with a friend.
Assuming you can handle the opposite reaction too...
>>24596077
Friendships based on massive lies > No friendships.
>>24596077
I found out the hard way.
>>24596102
I'm not even sure what to say
>Hi this is anon, remember me from three years ago? Well, I lied about being a girl because I liked getting attention and wearing frilly tutus. I didn't log on because you guys almost found out I'm a pathetic nerd who lives in his mom's basement. So, still want to remain friends?
>>24596251
Sounds like you got it all figure out anon, say that
