Ok, so we are all at the moment, albeit superficially, living vicariously through our avatars, usernames etc...
If we were to do that in real life; live through another medium, in this example the dice, would we be able to consistently make options available to ourselves that we would never ordinarily use?
i.e. I could say my (new persona) choices would be:
1) shave all hair off
2) join a nationalist party
3) give up reading for forty eight hours
4) eat raw meat
5) propose marriage to the bloke next door
6) do 1, then do 2, then attempt to live up to social perceptions.
What would be your choices? How would they contrast to the choice you would make as you? What makes you who you are?
