My new avatar for my hobby produced unanticipated results, though now this outcome seems obvious to me. People noticed me. Not only did they notice, they came and spoke to me. It seems they were curious about a person who may or may not be observing their behavior.
No one was outraged, but a small number seemed a little uncomfortable. Many asked me what I was observing. When I told them that I would observe and admire avatars I would always explain that I wasn't a stalker, just someone who would observe anyone who came into the Town I was currently in. I hoped this would clear up any possible misunderstandings about my username and my presence in Towns.
It got to a point where I could no longer enter Towns without someone talking to me, asking me questions, or simply sitting next to me and saying something like " *observes the Observer* ". Despite my original intention being to sit alone and observe I didn't mind the outcome. I made some friends, saw some exceptional avatars, and had some interesting conversations.
