       I like to think I am myself all the time. All that changes when I go
SCA is what is on the outside, garb, gestures, the way I walk. Basic values
stay the same.

       Makes you wonder why they choose to play personna this way? I don't
think most people can really change their personality traits that much from
one day to the next, unless they play the person they would prefer to be
(kind of like an alter ego) rather than the person they really are.


but when seeing them outside an SCA context they expect me to still trust
them

       If I couldn't trust someone in SCA mode, I do not think I would trust
them in mundane life.
