Posting Personality(its a long-winded one,folks,sorry)

Ok, so we’ve got our Avatars. We also have are our slogans(or signature), our subtitles (or Custom status)and of course our username. But think about is there anything else that helps to identify the person behind the post? How about the post itself. I mean c’mon how many of us would’nt be able to recognize a post from the lovable ol’  Incubus (at least that’s the name he’s most famous for) . Almost every single one, if you’ve ever read one, has something about his hate for Humans in Rpg’s , Crusaders, Haven and Castle in general, J.R.R Tolkien and Soccer. Another notable feature is the way he words things. I don’t want to say he has bad English, since he knows my language a lot better than I know his, but his English is how should we say “different”. It has a unique lil’ twist to it that only an Incubus can do.
Of course, he isn’t the only one with a notable post personality. Others I can think of our Shae_trielle for her way of looking at things from a different and often very clever point of view. She also has a way reprimanding people not so much to insult them but help them improve something about themselves or the way Homm is played. For example telling people that they already had what they wanted in that “3 wishes” forum, or that they could get it if they wanted to. Of course she almost always ends in a *smile* as well, interesting. Ozzy Ozbourne of course, always has something to say about his bands and his love for music, also had a very surprising view on the whole “Pascal, God theory” never thought I’d end up agreeing so much with somebody named after such a religously controversial musician. Unkahaakon has a humorous unique way of looking at things as his subtitle and Slogan suggest. Iv’e  also seen many other posters who have a “humorous” or “different” and most importantly unexpected (as long as it remains relevant) posts, which sorta makes that poster have their own little personality as well a unique identity within the posting(and the manner thereof) itself. Ok, so basically what I’m getting at here is I think we can make this community an at least slightly more interesting place if we just try to put a little more personality and uniqueness in our posts. Of course this is the easiest part and comes quite naturally, all you really have to do is try to incorporate your inner feelings as well as perhaps putting a little creative twist on them. These can even include anger and resentment as long as we pay careful heed not to breach the set rules of this community.
Okay, nows heres the other half of my idea. Now I know for a fact that at least 50% of you are familiar with rpg’s . I mean if u like homm which is set in a fantasy world I know u have experienced other games that are involved in creating this fascinating genre. And as you all should know, one of the most important things in rpg’s (the real ones at least) besides killing monsters and getting power through experience, is developinga character thru acting. So basically I was thinking of this what if some of developed a strange,unusual,unique or better yet handicapped way of replying and creating posts.
Not that I want to turn this forum into a role-playing site, I mean we still have important game-related issues to discuss here, but couldn’t we do it a different and more amusing way? By now I probably have u totally confused so let me give u an examples of what I’m talking about here’s 2 posting characters I thought of
Example#1
I am ROBOT
Basically this guys starts every new thought with the words I am
I.e.
I am having a problem with my updates.
I am hoping someone can help me
I am wanting this avatar to be uploaded to my profile
I am hoping 3do doesn’t leave out my favorite creature in homm4
I am enjoying this post very much
I am thinking a valid point has been brought up
All right well, this one might end up being a bit boring and monotonous
But here is example 2, which I might use myself.
It’s sorta like a person with Multiple personality disorder
Like a multi-headed hydra
Basically this personality would have about 5-7 different ways of saying the same thing. All using a different emotion.
Maybe this isn’t the best idea and perhaps the characters I thought up are a bit far-fetched or not bizarre enough. But in any case I’m sure we could all still use the first half of the idea and maybe incorporate a little more of our own interesting personality (or if we don’t have one borrow one from someone u know).
Well, I hope I didnt offend anyone and perhaps this post will be for the most part useless, but I would hope that it would make at least one person try to put a little more of an interesting twist on there already estabilished  posting “identity”.
BTW I wanna make 2 things straight before I leave just in case anyone is still confused
I made this post as 2 separate ideas, not one, so u can either choose to
a. Just try to  put a lil more of your own unique and Bizarre personality into your post as is suggested in the first half,or..
b. If u are one of those “normal” people and/or u don’t really have that kinda weirdness, perhaps u could incorporate a lil role-playing into youre personality just to make it more interesting.
c. Of course u can also do both, or neither as u have that free-will and free-speech thing that prevents u from all being slaves to my suggestions(sarcasm)
=== Disclaimer ====
OK well hope u enjoy and btw since I originally wrote this I’ve seen a lot more posts that are actually doing this, so Im happy about this. The person being Sylloquism and I would’ve listed him, but I have this policy that in general I email the players before I list anything about them, and I received the go-ahead from everyone except Vega(Incubus). However Ozzie (in his reply) seemed to b speaking for both himself and Incubus in his reply when he said that him and Inc don’t take crap(the full star version) from anyone and they’re Kings/Rebels of their kind. I’m not exactly sure what he meant by this but I’m assuming that he probably was giving me the go-ahead
( I hope) especially since I don’t see how anyone could’ve been offended in the 1st place. But I took the precautionary measure and emailed them just in case, also  for suggestions!!

....no need to do that, mellon...

...at least for you Oldtimer, your posts already have a personality... wise and experienced guy, in an almost Gandalf-ish way, if I may...

...as for my own, dark, yet friendly, with a twist, personality... it may haven't been able to surface through my posts yet, but that's just because there have never been threads letting me show it... plus I don''t act (this is just the way I am) even in real life..

I have a problem...

I know what you are looking for but I have a problem with the idea. You see, I had most of my my personality shot off in the Gulf War.

It was'nt a great or famous personality and some people say they did'nt know I had one to start with. But I did.... and it's gone.

Thats right I'm a disabled Veteran and proud of it!

I tried to borrow my buddys personality, a really good one too I must say, but he claims to be using it. I dont know what the **** for! He has a beautiful wife and a good job. You would think he could let me use it for awhile, but no, stingy *******!

I kind of like getting the $235.00 a month disability pay but it will never make up for my shortcomings.

My wife sometimes says she wishes my personality were bigger, but I always tell her that its not about size at all but how you use it.


Anyway, I will stay away from this thread in the future so you guys can swagger around and brag about your huge personalities!

Does this mean we can start making comments like, "she's got a really ugly avatar, but she's got a wonderful posting personality, and avatars are only screen deep."

Speaking of personalities and avatars I find it odd that Craig Hack suddenly became an eccentric intellectual at the exact same time his avatar changed to that dude with the planets encircling him.  This needs to be looked into.  

And please don't tell me to show my personality to everyone.  That is not what I have been taught.  To do so would most certainly facilitate emotional, intellectual, or moral diress upon those yet unprepared.  Patience, caution, time, understanding...

Well, or maybe I'm just too lazy or stupid?  Yeah, that makes more sense.

You know, one of the best things about the original post is found in the the last part.

ChoaticHyrda took the time and effort to contact people he mentions by name, and ask them if they minded what he had to say. I was very pleasantly surprised when he dropped me the email asking about it a couple of days before he made the actual post.

For common courtesy alone, the quality bonus was well deserved.

Okay, hope i haven't confused u all too much. Once agian I got replies I wasnt exactly expecting, Not like I knew what to expect anyways but I'm a lil confused by Oldtymer's and Craighack's replies so heres a reply to both of u and maybe a few others as well, I'll try to explain this better if everyones confused. okay now Im gonna reply in the order recieved, so....
Old tymer u asked for more detail..
Ok if it was sarcasm, I get it!! I have way too much detail already so I understand
If not then i think u said it best yourself when u said..

"One problem for people is when new people join they make alot of posts about subjects that are just a few pages back in the index, so the "regular" posters don't respond. Please breathe some life into posts, and come up with original Ideas, be they odd or funny or challanging."

That is basically what I wanted people to do.
I actaully thought up my own explanation for re-explaining and simplifing this huge post but I think yours suits it much better!

AS for Craig hack,
Well, I'm again also not sure if this post was made in Sarcasm or not but I'm sure some if it was perhaps serious liek u being a disabled War vetran, I certainly wouldn't to insult u anymore by saying "yeah,right youre no War vetran!"
or just plain thinkin' youre being sarcastic..However the part about trying to borrow your BUddy's personality which he doesn't need seemed to be a bit on the joking side..
So if u were serious I have this to say.
1st of all, I'm sorry if u lost that certain body part that contributes largely to a man's personality(I hope I'm not interputting this wrong, but u gave a few hints that may have indicated this) But I'm sure that whatever the case is u still have an intelligent mind and u can still come up with cool and original posts

and Bort, yes Avatars are only screen-deep thats very true and quite Clever too.....

and PLuvious, I agree with u in the fact that Craig is a lot like an eccentric and Intellectual personality, so see there ya go, Craig u already have one!! and Pluvious as for yourself if u wanna be an emotionless robot that was actually sorta close to one of my suggestions

and Unkahaakon all I hafta say to u is thank u once again!!

OKay and on a final note I have been noticing a lot of humorous and unique posts that have been quite entertaining, now if I actually get enough time between turns I could still put up my next Hommaholics post up or  I could wait for a rainy say when people ahve ran out if ideas and this board needs a freshening up, so whadya say

1. NOW

or..

2. Later

Why, what's wrong with the second one? I don't think it's bad to reply to other people. But I think that no one can be sure if there is sarcasm in a post or not. Well, the poster could write Sarcasm in the end but this looks a bit artificial... it's like to read a play. I think that there has to be a way to show our emotions while writing but I don't know how.

Apparently my sarcasm is too delicate and gentle to be detected by the ordinary sarcasm detector. So, from now on, I will use this excellent notification system! Thanx arachnid! I forget that some of the people here are "not from around here".
