masquerade
- verb/0 To play a persona while pretending to be a player
other than who you really are. It is common for wizzes to
masquerade as mortals to gather intelligence, and for mortals
to masquerade as guests (or, more probably, puests);
killers also may masquerade as some other
type of player up until the point when they're in
a position to do real damage. Some
players build up quite detailed 'lives' which they claim to
have in the real world, keeping style
notes and biographical
information in weighty files. Much grief can arise when people
masquerading are found out,
especially if they are presenting as individuals of the opposite sex with
whom other players have forged emotional bonds.
The persona which the player is using to masquerade as is
an example of a secret persona. See female,
real female, male,
style, incognito, undercover, secret.
