Oddbean new post about login | logout @ce78dee8 Thank you! If I'd had more room I'd have added the officials he's corrupted. It's a complex question when someone works hard to paint a public persona that's different from the truth.
@7b682b86 I bet that's fun to write though! I don't have anyone do that too deliberately -for mine its more precious few people know of his deeply personal demons, he presents a certain way to his followers (and home continent) and comes across drastically differently to my characters (overseas).
@ce78dee8 You make a good point that, despite someone's best efforts, they may come across to people in a way that's different than what they intended.
