w00t!!!!!!!
Ya, I'm like you a lot. I like to play devils advocate from time to time. I find that it usually helps people to better understand their perspective if you can pick away it.
And I'm also very stubborn.... which is both a good and bad thing. The more somebody push's against me, the harder I will fight for what I believe in.
Another thing I that usually gives people a bad image in my opinion is language. Personally I understand that some people have gotten so used to swearing that it slips out every once in a while, in fact even I from time to time will let out the odd "well holy shit" or something like that. But I do not understand why people use bad language in an online game or a forum. In real life people tend to let things slip(we shouldn't but we do), but in a game you have to think about everything you type, and after you're done you have to hit the enter button to send it so really there is no reason for swearing.
And Tiv, I usually try to be myself no matter what game I play.... unless I'm roleplaying, then I usually try to be something as far away from myself that there is no comparison. Like for example in SWG, I had a BH character for the longest time because 1, I enjoyed the hunt and 2, it was something that I myself would never do(purposely go out trying to hurt people). But if you ever talked to me after the hunt, most Jedi I hunted ended up being my friends(whether I won or Lost) because I respected them and refused to use cheep tricks to earn my wins. I did use bomb droids every once in a while, but that was fair game(besides they were pretty easy to avoid if you knew what you were doing)...
OK, i'm rambling now, so i'll shut up
