Well most people from other worlds won't know me, but alot of mardians probably will My name is Ozzy17 Ive been a mardian merch for close to 4years now and people say i am the richest (or one of the richest) in mardia Now this thread isnt about the amount that I have, its about the rep that I have gained. Alot of people know me... or have heard of me, and i have seen countless characters try to impersonate me Im constantly barraged with questions about why i made new chars and say act weird on other accounts I just dont understand why people try so hard to be someone else Im really not that special... I mean i found a thread on basil from earlier this month from a kid who had an ign with Ozzy in it and he claimed that he (impersonating the real me) has been surpassed in money from some guy ive never even heard of Its just weird to me What do you guys think

Well here is how I chose a Fighter. I saw my Hero friend owning BF's and other bosses / monsters, it looked really fun, I thought to myself, "Man, I wish I could do that too" and thus, my fighter was born.

maybe they see you as the perfect prototype, or example or what not, therefore they want to be like you! don't think of it like copying think of it as inspiration!

Have you ever heard of a person called Ozzy Osborn or something like that? a famous guy in real life? maybe you and them copied HIM, not the other way around.
