i use both, but since there is another Philly girl with the same real name as me, i'll answer to Mercy (which is one of my middle names anyway.) (yes i have two.)

I usually go, "Hi, I'm Randy..." and then shamefacedly go, "... MisterSatan on the site..." People usually recognize me, though.

Dear God, what have I done with my life?

I can't believe it's not Satan *feeling cyber eyes rolling*

I don't post that much, so I don't really have an online persona one cannot overcome. Most SGs and members I have talked to at any length all call me Kris. Convenient being it is my real name. Those times someone has given me their real name (and I always wait for them to give it to me), I have assumed that is what they prefer, so that is what I call them offline. I like to live dangerously like that.

I always introduce myself by my first name, then follow up with my member name, after determining if the person I'm meeting is on SG. Sometimes we have non-SG folks at the PDX gatherings, if you can believe it.

This has happened at gatherings for other boards (they meant nothing to me really, it was just the porn, I swear) as I'm a wee to newb to have gone to any SG event things. But as distressing as it is to my family and friends, especially my girlfriend, I will answer to "scatmonkey", "monkey", "scat" and variations of the same. I usually introduce myself by my real name, then usually have to follow it up with "um, 'scatmonkey'".
