This paper aims at describing, according to the recent advances in social psychology and Computer Mediated Communication, how identities are perceived and constructed in cyberspace. All interactions analyzed in this study were performed within “Euroland,” a collaborative virtual environment. The interacting community was composed of students, teachers, and researchers working on a transnational educational project. Practices and dialogues within Euroland are analyzed using an ethnographic and conversational method. A sample of discourses and actions that occurred during 8 months of time, selected according to the research aims, was analyzed. During online connections, users were personified by an “Avatar.” Avatars are able to walk, fly, and look around the virtual world. They are also able to build and manipulate three-dimensional objects, perform virtual actions, and chat with other connected users. Results showed that “Eurolanders” showed and constructed their identities using strategic “positioning” depending on the interactive situation. Identities are thus dynamic and strongly related to the context, created and constantly recreated by the users. It is concluded that specific features offered by the Euroland environment are exploited by the users as resources to play with, while moving from one strategic positioning to another. Cyber identities involve resources given by specific technological tools and by community. The cyber-identity construction process seems to be highly congruent to the advances in the dialogical perspective in psychology, where identities are considered in their conceptualizations as multiple, “multivoiced,” “positioned,” and context-dependent.

It doesn’t surprise me that reality doesn’t register to your delusional brain. You call me tough guy?? Hahahahaha yeah whatever Mr. I can kill people and have unstoppable fighting moves. Although come to think of it your “fight vid” didn’t exactly back up your ego that time around.
You’re a bigger problem than I am around here constantly spreading your bullshit as if it’s gospel. Claiming expertise in areas you clearly don’t have any. At least I have the excuse of shitposting on purpose, you do it out of retardation.

Huh? W.Rabbit is Frank Dux?
This is Trollshido BFM so, I got a strong feeling that you are messing with me. Normally I’d take your word for it, but since it is here, proof please.

Nah. I am not messing with you.
He trained pretty hard for a bit and talked it up a little and wore it as a feather in his hat for a bit after. I think he had two Lei Tai (am I spelling that right?) matches. Not a lot to see out of Rabbit technique wise, but looked like a blast. He had fun.
Dale was there as were a couple other peeps. Pretty hard contact standup.
I have no clue what to search for Keyword wise. I am sure he will just link us/you to it here shortly. The matches aren’t anything to be ashamed of. Just some slightly awkward noob standup done CMA style.
I should point out for clarity that I’m not making fun specifically of his fight vid. I’m rather calling out the fact that wrabbit boasted about having great technique to the point of claiming that people would die training at his level and fighting against him. A boast that was very clearly NOT backed up by his vid. If I remember correctly he had 3 matches in that tournament.
