I'm not trying to be vain or something, I'm serious about this. I'm not famous for posting on a forum. Neither is Juances or Bopp or Zeddy. We are all just people playing a video game that happen to like to post on a forum. Its not our VIP board or anything, anyone can come on and join us at any time. And yet a certain genre of people are like "Wow, I am talking to THE Fehzor that posts troll like topics..." which to me is like "Wow, I am talking to THE owner of the flier saying "I lost my cat" oh boy am I lucky, what a celebrity." Has anyone else on the forums been approached like that? And has anyone approached anyone else on the forums like this? Tell me I'm not making this up.
People on the forums are not "famous" or anything
I'm frequently recongized in-game by people I never even saw on the forums. Apparently, I'm "that guy with the bombing videos".
Well like, they aren't even from the forums most of the time. A lot of the time I get "I just lurk..." which is kind of creepy, but I don't mind. I won't deny liking attention.
I've been approached a few times about the forums and what-not much like you guys have. Mine isn't anything like Zeddy's but more or less like Fehzor's long ago.
Can anyone really say they don't like attention though? Pretty sure everyone wants some in one way or another.
@Glacies
Its kind of sad really. I bet a lot of us are rather lacking in that department. Speaking for myself, of course. You guys are probably fine.
Did you really have to make this thread? ...
Well tbh, your reply on the other thread should have gone here.
Well it was relevent to that, but then I thought- "you know, this should be a topic" because we've never really talked about it before on the forums. And I get tired of the "usual" threads. I wanna talk about something new every once in a while, so I think I will!
I have been encountered in game, or on /trade chat (where I spend most my time trolling with #offtopic stuff or answering peoples questions on various aspects of the game and price-checks)
The thing I enjoy most about both the forums and ingame alike is sharing knowledge. Although I try to minimize it I still have a bit of an ego that tingles whenever someone recognizes me :P
I'd post more on the forums but I've learnt that more often than not it's better to not post. I read pretty much every thread though. You could say I'm kind of like an Adjutant, always watching, always reading, only speaking when spoken to.
I dunno about you guys, but I'm going to end every post I make with #Hexzyle now. #Hexzyle
Why? I think posting is great. Listening is a valuable skill, but nothing is accomplished if you are not heard.
Nah, I'm on Hex's team here. I see a lot of things I'd like to answer to, and then in the middle of typing something in me goes..
'Is it really worth the trouble?'
Most times I decide it's not.
Whenever I see Fehzor in game I want to friend him (atleastIthinkso) because I enjoy his p0sts.
Troofully yes I have, I feel half embarassed/humiliated and half prideful which is stupid.
I will admit to doing that.
I've canceled several threads, but have hinted at them later... but usually if there is a more informal thread, I'll answer. Like "post your favorite weapon!" is a fun little thread. But "I think the devs should make a level editor.." would have taken me several hours to write.
Oh yes, you're being really subtle. No one knows what humblebragging is, right?
:p
@ShinyArmorGuy
Well this came up while we were talking about something on another thread and I thought it needed some addressing... it'd be kind of hard to not sound that way. Mostly because of Bushido-Brownies.
"Well this came up while we were talking about something on another thread and I thought it needed some addressing... it'd be kind of hard to not sound that way. Mostly because of Bushido-Brownies."
You could have just taken it as a compliment rather than tell me otherwise, and totally dislike said compliment given to you.
I don't think they don't take it as a compliment Bushido. They made a thread for you :o
I think its the fact it becomes more like paparazzi than a compliment after a while.
I mean, its flattering yes. But I really don't think that we the forum-goers are like the next American Idol or something. That's Black Jesus.
You're only well known because you guys have been using the Forums for years. You make posts almost everyday and so you're just easily recognised. That's all...(also you're posts aren't that silly, like some of mine.) :P
Just be thankful you're one of the liked well known forum users and not a well known person that everyone wants to beat the crap out of, like Cirno (Or whatever the coward changed his name to).
The other day in the Haven I had a person run up to me screaming "RED! Oh, RED its SO great to meet you!!!!!!!1111!1!" I thought it was a guy who knew me from the forums, but no. It was just a guy who spectated every LD game he sees Im in... >.>
Lately, people been asking me if I know little-juances.
That awkward moment when an alt is more popular than you...
i aint heard of any of these players before
quite a lol thread really
still if u feel love how am i two knock it
but getting out more might be the answer
When I met a few people In-Game, some people went crazy and said "DUDE UR FROM DA FORUMS! PLZ ADD ME!!!!".
._.
People who i don't know call me country the pony because of the forums -.-
I'm apparently "that guy who made the Black Kat Video."
It wasn't even a good video aaaaaa
I get some recognition in the game as "ohey you're that forum guy with the striker thread" sometimes. It's been like four people.
wow u guys are soooo coool
sarcasm is bliss
suns out go out in real world u might like it
a game is all it is all it ever be pixal love aint real lol
i must admit this is funny i love it
nobody= allways wants to be a somebody
and I regard everyone as equals. And yes, of course I'd be delighted to see any of you ingame. It is only natural.
I wish I could get recognized in-game for being a forumer :<. But I guess that's because I'm just a FSC'er that only goes to FSC, Arcade, Ready Room, and my Guild Hall.
Scamming/sharking newbies and selling their rares for non-sk stuff.
In all my time playing Spiral Knights, I have been greeted as " Forum guy" two or three times. I didn't know I was that famous. I just post when I want to. They were nice people and I hanged around them for a little. I admit, that I got a swelled head for a little bit, but I don't crave it. But I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said that I didn't like it.
Whhat a useless thread....love it!
Feller is my favorite forum user because he is just plain funny ;)
But qwote is coming up with vids of him outsmarting the typicalmoron in LD
I cannot fathom why, but even I have been approached based on my forum activity and I'm not even half as active as any of you guys.
It truly boggles my mind.
I'm recognized sometimes as "PAWNCH" or "FALLCONN PUNCH!". But enough about me lets talk about you.
I get random friend requests, trade requests, and random whispers on WC... and they NEVER talked to me before...
I think i'm popular. Therefore this is pretty much the opposite. Fehzor even stated "Hey it's Fehzor that posts [troll like] threads"
I am pretty bad with names. I turned off the name display months back. So I do not think I approached anyone like so. And there is little chance that it would happen in my accord. However, I do recognize a few names here from the game itself. Otherwise I would figure it to be awkward to address someone solely on their forum post.
And Fehzor, [there is] nothing wrong with lurking behind (I mean in front of) the screen as long as you retain your vision in the process.
No, someone was amazed to see me in game. Then said I was like you. I think he was right.
