What are you generally?
-A Troll -4-
-A Hater/Rager -2-
-An Informer (Responding thoroughly and putting in thoughts/facts in posts) -5-
-A Shy Guy (Talking little, but being affluent anyways) -1-
-A Comedic Relief -1-
-A Speaker (Voicing out your opinions, also includes Fan Fic Writers and other arts) -4-
-Viewer -2-
-Other (or a mix) -9-

I shall tally this thread: I'll go first. Anyways, I say the Forums is a scary place with some of the hostility I see, notably towards new players. This thread is just to see what the Forum really is like, to show that we are all half-...erm, a quarter-...erm, somewhat decent human beings (just kidding).

I'm certain I more often that not fall under lurker.

@Imperialstriker

I added a group, Viewer, for those who mainly view, looking around. If that doesn't suit you, then I shall change it if you'd like.

No subject line spam here, move along

I'm mainly Shyguy. Partly fic-writer and a teeny part of hater.

That works :)

Though I'm being a little less reclusive as of recent. Eh whatever :)

Informer

I believe thoroughly in countering logic with logic, ideas with ideas, and thoughts with thoughts. It would be nice if we could put something like this under our pictures.

.....

I don't think I fit in those categories. I can see myself in almost all of them aside from Shyguy, rager less prominent but still there.

I think I'll go for 'other'.

I fit in the categories of Jelly Sandwich and Rager.

Jelly Sandwich because I like my sandwiches with a little bit of Jelly King in them

Rager because I believe that the Flourish/Snarble Barb is abused in Lockdown.(The first swipe has too far of a range.)

I'm the crazy guy that nobody likes because he doesn't remember to put in the most important things in his posts.

I'd like to think of myself as the reasonable-response guy, but I've noticed I've acquired a 70% weakness to intelligent people being rude/mean. And then I usually end up saying something stupid because of it.

Draycos, I understand what you mean. I'll add you to Informer since you still put thought in posts.

Depending on my mood, I'm an Informer, Shy Guy, or comedic relief. Less often an informer unless I'm at a desktop with a proper keyboard, because being an informer using a touch screen and auto correct is difficult. If not, I'm usually a viewer who might chime in when called.

Like Psycho, I fit into all categories (even Shy Guy sometimes, probably). It really depends on the situation at hand.

I believe I am 'A Speaker' because I do voice my opinions and try to contribute to some threads.
I'm also a 'Hater'... yup, I hate on the 'Ragers' :3

Other.

I'm the guy who writes actiony fan-fics, makes suggestion, helps newbies, rages at newbies, gets entertained by trolls, gets really pi$$ed off by people who post incredibly ridiculous/stupid/insulting suggestions (such as blaming the failiure of SK on F2P players and wanting to make Sk a pure P2P game), trolls around, draws art, writes some nice SK poetry, tries to win free stuff from forum stuff, tries to not annoy people like Chris, brightens up rage threads, kills happy threads (okay, maybe not), and spends his time on the forums posting in random threads like this instead of working on his stories and eventually forgetting about doing so completely.

And then some.

Doctorspacebar

SUNSHAAAAAAAAARDS

I'm mainly a Bomber in game, and have an extensive knowledge of multiple memes, as well as a keen sense of humor. That translates to comic relief. However, I also add my 'serious' thoughts after a post. And I make ginormous suggestion threads every so often. My armor is red and packs inordinate amounts of explosives, and I've fought a madman with a much larger suit of armor than myself. That madman went down because he had a problem with Freezing. The net worth of my items is easily over half a million crowns. In real life, one crown would be a "collector's item", therefore if the net worth of my items in crowns suddenly appeared in real life, they could be sold for more than four thousand dollars each, therefore making me a billionaire.

So that makes me... Iron Man. Now to finish that gigantic tower in the Arcade... y'know, I think I should put "Doctorspacebar" on it in big letters.

It depends on if you get ~Gwen or ~Newg. Same person, just two very different personae that I post as.

Gwen would be an informer.

Newg... Newg is a troll.

It's fairly obvious who the trolls are when they comment ;)

Meh.

Probably an informer, but not one of the 'movethissubjecttoanotherfreakingsubsectionoftheforum police'.

Human nature -> Trolls in forums and hostility in general.
Animal nature -> Trolls under bridges and hostility in general.
Forum nature -> lolwut?

Shidara

My standpoint

I see myself as a speaker. I speak my mind whenever I feel like it, but I also like to be an informant when necessary. But for the most part, I just let my voice be heard, and hope it serves any significance.

I guess I'd be a speaker/informer/troll.
And sometimes comedic relief. And I do observe a lot of threads..
Pretty much everything except a hater and a shy guy..though I am more of a informer/speaker then the other things.
I troll at foolish, foolish, people.

interesting...

See, I have a unique title. I am the kiss of death. Any time I comment on something, it has a habit of dying out soon after. Rarely will a thread last after I've made my mark.
