Which flame warrior are you?

It takes a while to read through all the descriptions of these message board 'types', but I thought it was worth the time (even though I couldn't really find the one which summed me up) cos it's quit cool.

Which one are you?

quit = quite. (my fingers aren't working today)

So Ned's the Evil Clown, eh?

"Evil Clown is very quick with a joke, but his jests always have a barb. He has little patience for in-depth discussions and will often disrupt exchanges between serious forum participants by introducing irrelevant topics, fatuous quips, and offhand comments. His greatest thrill is to taunt and humiliate weaker or more plodding Warriors with his snappy ripostes. When a strong Warrior finally corners him Evil Clown will attempt to escape by accusing his attacker of having no sense of humor"

― C J (C J), Thursday, 30 October 2003 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I have to be the Evil Clown. Dan does too. We're the ILXor Clown Posse.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Down With Clowns!

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I sense bigotry.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

ALLCAPS attempts to compensate for his limited rhetorical weaponry through the extravagant use of capitalized words - something netizens refer to as SHOUTING. Sure, a sprinkling of capitalized words can add spice to an attack, but overuse is like too much tarragon in the stew. Even worse from a tactical point of view, too much shouting alerts other Warriors to the opponent's verbal WEAKNESS and emotional EXCITABILITY.

NO WAY I AM EVIL CLOWN!!

All of the ilx-men are gay evil clowns.

I'm usually Ennui, that's okay with me.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm usually Ennui too.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Not really. Ennui's not so cool (changed this from crap. coz this was an X-post and I didn't want anyone to think I was being mean). I'm unique. I am not an archetype.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean I read the Ennui description, and it was pretty bad. You are not Ennui either Nicolars!

l'enfant provocateur could also be trife/ethan, for that matter.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:23 (twenty-two years ago)

All of the ilx-men are gay evil clowns.

This is why you love us so.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Profundus maximus is not only my flame style, it's the title of one of my albums. (Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur!)

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I like to think that I am the Kung-Fu Master...but I'm probably not as precise and incisive as this role suggests.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 30 October 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Ferrous Cranus vs Evil Clown = every ILX troll crisis ever, methinks

― Herbstmute (Wintermute), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

ferrous cranus is so obv. Geir Hongro.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought Geir was the android.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Troglodyte is TOMBOT and Strumpet is Dan Perry.

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Mike Hanle y.

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Marcello.

I knew Darnie11e would be in there somewhere...

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Hard as hell to find any that fit, but being the lone Cyber Sister does have its benefits

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Our God is of course Tom and our Admin is mark s.

I should stop doing this now because people are supposed to select their own archetypes. But it's just too too tempting, like eating pretzels.

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Nickalicious.

with all sincere fondness, of course :-)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Dammit, I think I'm a Big Cat too.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

also, i suspect that more often than i'd like, that i am this fellow.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 30 October 2003 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I know that feeling!

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I think we have Geir here.

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

what ethan trife wishes that he was.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

"Does the writer seems to babble on and on? Does he lurch from one non sequitur to another? Are you baffled by his obscure metaphors? Are there so many typos* you think that maybe he was typing while wearing a catcher's mit? Can he really MEAN what he just said? What in the hell is this guy talking about, anyway? Is this guy smoking something? Well, yes...in fact he is, and placidly tethered in high orbit Bong remains far beyond the reach of the even the most powerful Warriors' weaponry."

*other than the typos this is me to a fucking TEE

MILLARTRON is soooooo not a troglodyte though.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

No, he's an anime beer robot but there is no category for those.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Here's one: "Military Anime"

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

doomie?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the Big Cat.
Nobody better call me a Bliss Ninny!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Momus - come on, this has Geir written all over it (except possibly the 'universally loathed' bit, as I'm sure everyone's come to regard him with affection by now).

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 30 October 2003 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

This is probably the closest to me!

(Or rather, what I wish I was. That's probably actually closer to Momus, and I'm probably really a member of this.)

― kate (kate), Friday, 31 October 2003 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

two months pass...

after reading this thread -- ILX regulars who hardly use "the f word" ... and realizing how often i cuss around here, i realized that i am this guy more often than i'd like to admit.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 26 January 2004 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, so most of these are really great and accurate, and
the images kick ass - but too many
I just don't see - they seem invented to flesh out their cute
little pantheon of fingertapping timewasters.

I'm like a crazed mix of Acne

"Acne constantly whines about how, like, life the universe and everything really
sucks and stuff. Acne's vague existential arguments about the meaningless of
life and emptiness of existence are culled
from the lyrics of the 20 gigs of MP3s he has squirreled away on his hard drive"

and Loopy

"Loopy's main weapons consist of a disarming array of nonsequiturs, tautologies,
and bizarre metaphors, which can often gain him an advantage in the initial stages
of an attack. Combatants very quickly realize, however, that Loopy is a certifiable
nut case and generally avoid further engagement"

I don't see any "Rebel Leaders" here, and I don't think "Peacemakers"
or "Eagle Scouts" really exist either. Most positive-minded people are
too busy getting shit done to participate actively on time-suckers like
this.

while
"Pinko"
(http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame88.html)
and
"Weenie"
(http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame6.html)
are kind of the default for smug fucking brits and
New Yorkers alike.

Is it a good thing that we have funny, stupid shit like
this to help us forget that we're wasting our lives online?

― Squirrel_Police (Squirrel_Police), Monday, 26 January 2004 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

All of the ilx-men are gay evil clowns.

I stand by this statement!

― Leon Bluth (Ex Leon), Thursday, 31 March 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

I'm obviously schizophrenic 'cause I recognize some part of myself in all of these:

Pithy Phrase
Loopy
Ideologue
Big Cat
Evil Clown
Profundus Maximus
Yuk Yuk
Jekyll & Hyde

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 31 March 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

We're all gay evil clowns, it's just that some of the genders aren't properly aligned.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 31 March 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

For example, in a forum discussion about a painting he might say, "Sorry the picchr the har is wrog. The culir. I liike the lips bot teh Paintng is sucs". When someone refers to his random capitalization Garble might say something like, "oPS i HITTED THE CAPDLOCK".

― jody von oy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 31 March 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Android!
