On a side note, Elmo could use Elmer as an alias now if he wanted too.

I think the most important question here is who really cares? Has this information somehow affected someone in a negative way? Has anyone lost sleep over this? Elmo is Elmo, and he's earned our respect, regardless of gender. He's an amazing player, he's got a great attitude, and aside from this drama, I don't think there's been many situations where his integrity has been called into question. I spent a year of my tron career pretending to be a chick, not because I thought I'd get more attention that way, but because this is the internet and we are free to be who we want to be. If it made Elmo more comfortable portraying a woman, who are we to judge? More power to you mate.

I want to refer to the previous discussion about transgendered individuals. ;)

On-topic: I still <3 you Elmo but I'm not surprised. I'll still make jokes of us having a threesome with oddeuro, and now they'll be even naughtier.

I find 12 to be a very high number. I think 8 is pushing it. And there is only one of those that would be considered "amazing" (she posted just before you). But if you are sexist, then any girl who shows the ability to play moderately well would be considered amazing in your eyes, so I'm going to imagine that's the case with you.

Why would they be naughtier? Is it your homophobia? One guy sleeping with two girls is naughty, but a guy sleeping with another guy and a girl is somehow naughtier? Or are you trying to say you want to engage in even more forbidden sex acts?

And here we have one of the creepier people in Tron sticking up for someone who just lied to everyone. Wonderful. I'm glad your year of role-playing made you feel special, but just because it felt good doesn't mean it was right. So you were expressing... what? Your independence? Individuality? By being a creep on the Internet? And that gets you off? Well alrighty then... :roll:

Here is the thing: you can be who you want on the Internet, but you still face consequences. We all have the right to judge you because there is a social part of the game and you are forever subject to the group. And this thing with Elmo isn't about being transgender, which I have no problem with. This is about lying, for whatever lame reason, then keeping up the lie for a ridiculous amount of time (I say ridiculous because it really is worthy of ridicule).

I'm sure Elmo appreciates you sticking up for him. Maybe you two can be in some sort of club together? The "I pretended to be a girl on the Internet and it felt great, so FU" club? Good luck with that.

Oh shut up, move on.

+1 if you think elmo is actually trolling everyone and is actually a girl!

now serious, I did not see this coming maybe cause I had no real 1 to 1 talk with him, but it's just weird to start calling him "him" right now. I understand why people is mad, I should be mad too, I probably would be very mad if idk for example oddeuro turned to be a guy or something cause I actually spent good time talking to her.

I guess you learned your lesson, internet is not a free ride to do whatever you want just because it's anonymous, we fill some morale standards, lying is just wrong on internet or anywhere.

Sinewav, I just don't see how you have any room to judge. Many people may consider it creepy that you bought gifts for a minor on tron and sent them overseas to the UK. Again, you're judging yet another person that you don't really know.
