When in the forum, how do you see a physical representation of yourselves? As in, were this forum a physical area and the words physical movement, and so on (arguing would be fighting), what picture do you make of yourselves? Perhaps, of the others, if that's not flaming?

For example, I picture Lunatic Goofballs as that very, very dexterous harlequin. With pies. :D

Myself, weak, dexterous fighter that spends a whole deal of it making moves and bantering. Effective, though. :p

Congrats. You have gained +3 to your dorkiness.;)

Nice thread. A bit difficult to be objective on this thought:P
Others might have a better judgement on this than oneself.

I don't know. Maybe I could describe myself as the occasional passer-by who throws a stone and then flees:mp5:

The occasional eyelash in your eye.

Have you ever seen the movie Brazil?

I'm basically Sam Lowry, both here and IRL.

Sniper.

I view myself as tubes of benevolent bacterial colonies.

Hey, I actually come up with titled moves. You gotta admit I'm a very good dork.

you know that guy that sits quietly in the corner of the room while there is a party going on? the one that looks like he wants to join in but ends up sitting there...


yeah, that's me.

Well, we can always discuss others, as long as it doesn't get flame-y...

Neo Art, I picture as the image of a medieval swordsman. Well, not medieval values, per se, just the noble one with the big-ass sword. :p

For example, I picture Lunatic Goofballs as that very, very dexterous harlequin. With pies. :D
I picture Lunatic Goofballs as the superhero of chaos, Ferretman!

Myself, a naive scholar who sometimes takes jokes seriously and often ends up talking too much in a well meant effort to share my observations on a matter.

Like this, most of the time.

Sounds familiar.

Most of the time, I feel like the guy who takes sadistic pleasure in watching a train wreck, but would only rarely drown a puppy himself.

That lion isn't actually face-palming. He's being smacked in the face by another lion.

Anyway...me?

...

I'm the guy with the big stick who speaks softly. (By big stick I mean six foot bo staff, which I actually do have.)

I think of myself as the girl who pops into the room from time to time, sees that everbody is still arguing over the same things they were four or five years ago, sighs, searches for the small group discussing something more laid back and less futile, then wanders off to raid the fridge because nobody's really paying attention to my jokes anyway.

I see myslef as the somewhat goofy one, a little eccentric, and ready with a joke. Whenever I'm debating, I see myself as leaning on a table with my chin on my fist and gnashing my teeth. Actually, I think I do that in real life too....

I'm pretty curious though, I wonder how others on this forum see me as...*ponders*

I picture myself as the guy with the clipboard and stopwatch, trying to find out if the forum experience could be made more efficient, or possibly lime flavoured.

Like Britney, bitch!

me (http://home.earthlink.net/~subject2change86/images/agressive%20keyboard%20user.gif)

Yes!

I don't really picture anything...but I guess (as usual) that makes me the guy with no idea whats going on and just making retarded comments because he can't concentrate :)

Well, if we're looking to compare ourselves to characters, I like to think of this guy:

I usually have short posts that make a point (when I do post) and I see myself as a bit of a "rogue" in the forum, holding quite a few unpopular or centrist opinions as compared to the others here.

Uh, the guy that no one ever pays attention to, like IRL.:headbang: maybe I need to get naked before people will like me?

the invisible thread-killer.

I thought I might have held that role, too...

Invisible Threadkillers, now open for business!

well i don't see myself, or anyone else online, as being any any sort of physical form at all, but rather as godlike massess of not normally visible, and very nearly undetectable, energy.

and words, the limitations of verbal language, are such an extreme bottle neck, to the exchange and free flow of conceptualization.

but being as the're what we have, at least for now, thay do, can usually though never perfectly, muddle through.

what i think of in physical form aren't awairnessess at all, but rather landforms, vegitation and artifacts, with awairnessess sometimes occupying organic life forms, moving through it, going about whatever the're doing, interacting with it, and things in it, and rarely in any meaningful sense, each other.

i mean i don't see the universe, either this imaginary one, nor the one i live in in real life, as being about social interactions nor the collective behaivoir of self awaire beings. even though those behaviours can and do, have signifigant impact on their tangable surroundings locally, and can propigate through the mechanics of natural renewal of the web of life of an entire planet, that pretty much stops at the edge of its envilope of atmosphere.

and in the meantime, purely logical an mechanical forces outside of and beyond anything subject to voluntary awairness continue to go on about their bussiness reguardless, occassionally revealing themselves, dispite their efforts to deny them, to the self awaire dwellers of planetary surfaces.

I'm the eccentric uncle who slips under the radar a lot, but whom people notice every now and then for doing odd things, usually involving where I live (Japan) and whom people quite often don't really get.

Bernard Woolley from Yes, Minister.

Ever trying to say witty things or make incisive comments, but normally gets ignored, gets it wrong or else gets told to shut up from both the politically incumbent and the people he supposedly works with.

Exactly like I see myself IRL: just what the mirror shows me.

Gods I love mirrors.:D

I picture myself as a brain tumor, slowly making everybody I come in contact with stupider and stupider, while I grow bigger and smarter! Yay!:D

I see myself as... myself, sitting behind my laptop. And unless I've seen pics of the posters, I don't really form any pictures of how I think they look.

Sir Humphrey: If local authorities don't send us the statistics that we ask for, then government figures will be a nonsense.
Jim: Why?
Sir Humphrey: They'll be incomplete.
Jim: But government figures are a nonsense anyway.
Bernard: I think Sir Humphrey wants to ensure they're a complete nonsense.

Well doesn't look as if you have been around enough to be called a tumor. I would say at this point you are at best a malignant cell or two. So I would say you have a bit of work to do before you become the full fledged tumor type.

I have noticed that he uses the ' I think what Sir Humphrey/the Minister means to say is...'-type-line quite a lot. Hmm...

Well, a thread IRL being a thin piece of string that would be normally cut with scissors, I applied it to us, the thread-killers in the forum, as those who cut threads into non-existence.

Hence, the name "Scissors".

Hey! First off, I never said I was a brain tumor, just that I see myself as one. And just because I seem new, doesn't mean I am. Maybe I just wasn't discovered until its too late and now your brain is dead!

However, this isn't the case. You are right, but you didn't have to be so hurtful!

I can dream...... can't I?:confused:

As long as it means getting my "hands" on Alyson Hannigan's flute, it's all good. *nods emphatically*

Well i haven't read everyones posts and ive only been on here two days and talked to one person really so far.

So i see Lunatic Goofballs as the quiet guy with the cheeky grin who observes everyone. Everyone asks him questions but he always gives a mischevious answer.


I see myself as the girl who sits at the bar with a cocktail in one hand and a cigarette in the other, usually flirting with whoever looks at me. Not because im desperate, haha, but because its fun to play. That and im probably wearing black. :)

Poor guy, he was always so prepared for everything. And he was so prepared for that airdrop that he packed absolutely everything he needed... Except for his parachute.

Notsomuch, no .... although that description would work for many here, i'm sure.

If that's the case, I extend to you a formal invitation to join the elite thread-assassin guild known as "Scissors" on one condition: avoid rocks. They tend to smash us.

The forum Boris.

I'm not exactly sure what a "Boris" is, but I still think your assessment of yourself is the most accurate so far. I certainly see you as someone who would be called a Boris.
