I'm a major Steam user(sorry, guys, I am),and Impulse's sexiness drew me in, so I'm gonna try using both digital distribution platforms(screw retail). I've had a nice group of friends on Steam for about a year now. They've never seen any pictures of me, and they've never heard my voice before. I'm a very serious person, and a bit of a grammar Nazi, so none of them expected me to try any kind of prank on them.
Well, I decided that I should do just that. Not just any old prank, something *different*, something you can only do to online friends. Here are some exerpts from conversations I had with my friends after changing my Steam username and my description of myself from Facelord(and Nicholas) to Tiffany. :3
Here's the internet address of my Steam profile, so you can see what I did: http://steamcommunity.com/id/nicholas_3445
3:06 PM - D4QP ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Tiffany?
3:07 PM - D4QP ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Sory, forgot you couldn't talk ingame.
3:07 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖:
3:07 PM - D4QP ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: sorry
3:07 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: That's not the issue.
3:07 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: You know how guys are usually jerks to girls when they play online games?
3:07 PM - D4QP ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Not really
3:07 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Well, I'm not exactly a Nicholas. -.-
3:09 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Girls sometimes say they are guys to escape gender discrimination online, and I decided I'm done with that. I have too many friends now to keep up the elaborate lie.
3:09 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: So, yeah, I'm Tiffany. Hola.
3:10 PM - D4QP ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Ok
3:10 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Yup.
3:11 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: So, you've played 30+ hours of TF2 these past two weeks, but your stats with specific characters are pretty low.
3:11 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Do you just leave the menu up or something?
3:11 PM - D4QP ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I've reset my stats multiple times
Normal banter followed, and I revealed the really real truth to him after talking to him a bit. I told him not to reveal it to anyone, and he agreed said he had to go for a while(his mother wanted him).
Next up, my friend Dr. Nick.
3:15 PM - DR.NICK: wow
3:15 PM - DR.NICK: is that y u never had mic
3:16 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Not quite.
3:16 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: That is a bit of a factor, though.
3:16 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I COULD pretend I'm a 13 year-old boy, and that would also function for me.
3:17 PM - DR.NICK: lol
3:17 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: So no more guy personality online. :[
3:17 PM - DR.NICK: lol
3:17 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: It was so fun, too.
3:17 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I just didn't feel comfortable keeping it up.
3:18 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: *that's what she said*
3:18 PM - DR.NICK: lol i woulda never known
DR.NICK is now playing Team Fortress 2. Click here to join.
3:18 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I'm not really a pansy-ish girl, either.
3:21 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: What were you thinking when you saw my name?
3:21 PM - DR.NICK: idk
3:21 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I thought it was strange that you treated me exactly the same as usual.
3:21 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I hope everyone else does.
3:21 PM - DR.NICK: hopefully
I told him the truth when I learned he wouldn't be online later, and he lol'd.
While all of that's going on, my 'friend' Andrew decided my new profile image and name are too sexy to hold back from trying to cyber with me. I'm gonna replace the inappropriate words in this section with names of nearby cities here in Texas.
4:01 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: This is epic.
4:03 PM - Andrew: yes
4:03 PM - Andrew: and quite -Bullard-
4:03 PM - Andrew licks

4:04 PM - Andrew gropes -Longview-
4:04 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖ gropes your tiny mushroom -Coffee City-. {that's an insult, not me going along with it}
4:04 PM - Andrew blushes
4:04 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖ feels really, really weird and wonders if 'partner' is being funny or not.
4:05 PM - Andrew: maaaaybeee
4:05 PM - Andrew: im half and half
4:05 PM - Andrew: im totally willing to, but ill keep it "funny" if you wish
4:05 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I'd rather not do that at all, actually.
4:05 PM - Andrew:
4:05 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: I don't cyber, and I'd rather not do that with a guy my first time.
4:06 PM - Andrew: do yu has any clue how hard it is to find a girl for such?
4:06 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Not hard at all.
4:06 PM - Andrew: :/
4:06 PM - Andrew: meh
4:06 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Go to Gaia Online, and they'll swarm you.
4:06 PM - Andrew: your loss
4:09 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: www.gaiaonline.com {redirecting him to move his attention away}
4:09 PM - Andrew: oh
4:09 PM - Andrew: um

4:09 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Seriously, if you wanna cyber go there.
4:10 PM - Andrew: its kind of hard for me...
4:10 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: That's what she said.
4:10 PM - Andrew: well that is not helping my urge to come onto you at all
4:10 PM - Tiffany ๖ۣۜSyphon๖: Alrighty.
4:10 PM - Andrew: who said i didnt enjoy it
4:10 PM - Andrew:
So I guess my joke backfired a bit here. Well, uh... yeah, it did.

If anyone has any stories to tell, post away! Enjoy!
