Graal: Public or Private?

Do your friends, family members, or even co workers know that you play Graal?

I was wondering if you keep it to yourself or if you discuss it with openly to others.

For the most part I think I'm pretty open with it. My family knows I play it since my sister was the one who showed me the game. However, years ago I showed it to some from friends, but they didn't really find an interest in it. Therefore, I guess some them know, but my newer friends don't. So I guess I would put down private, even though some people know since I'm not really too open with it.

what about u guys?!?!?!/

Everyone knows I play Graal! I tell my family and friends about my trolling antics on it and the forums all the time! My roommate calls it "The Bunny Game" because I was dressed like a bunny when she first sar it.

The Christmas before this past one, my best friend FOREVER <3 <3 <3 <3 came to visit for a few weeks, and I was much too addicted to avoid playing the whooole freaking time. So we played together! ^____^

I also play it in classes a lot and have hoped in the past that someone would recognize it (which, as I've recently found out, is much more likely than I thought), find out I'm Door, and be like "Like omg, YOU'RE Door? You're like the COOLEST Graal player! I can't wait to tell my Graal friends that I met you irl! Can I have your autograph?"

One day it will happen. One day...

Hahaha@Door
At work they ask how I know how to program and I always mention Graal- but only if they ask. I wouldn't go around saying "I PLAY GRALS". Private?

Yeah my family and I are virtually disconnected from each other when it comes to 99% of things.

Kind of a mix. My family knows (my brother played for quite a few years and since quit) that I play it as well as my girlfriend. She doesn't really understand it. She constantly asks me "are you winning?," and I just say yes and she goes and studies or something.

When I first started playing it I was pretty open about it seeing as I played it a lot more.

When I used to play, way back in the days of Doomsday, I was so excited about it all that I told my friends about it, and got some of them to try it out, one of them actually started playing for a while. In my development days, I had another friend who helped me flesh out the world because he was a way better drawer than I was. (Hehe, drawer, sounds like one of Door's relatives)

These days, seeing as I only lurk the forums (though considering doing some Deving again, but not sure for whom) there's not much to tell.

But in total, I'd say public.
