Which Flame Warrior(s) are you?

Ever since Erpy posted an offhand link to Mike Reed's Flame Warriors page last year, I've derived an immense amount of amusement from classifying the members of this forum according to his Flame Warrior archetypes. But now it's your turn. Which Flame Warrior, or combination of Flame Warriors are you? Sure, some archetypes may be uncomplimentary, but how else is self-improvement achieved than by carefully considering your personality?

As the proverbial sacrificial lamb, I'm quite happy to give my own self-assessment first. I'd say that I'm a Philosopher with Eagle Scout and Propeller Head tendencies. While I certainly make "ponderous and lengthy cogitations" (and quite enjoy doing so, I might add), I always cite my sources when appropriate and you should totally ph33r my l33t h4x0r sk1llz!!!!!!1111

Now, of course, I have to assess a couple of my less emotionally sensitive forum colleagues. I doubt anyone would deny that Erpy is the calm and level-headed Admin who keeps us all away from the evils of controversy and excessive flamage. On the other hand, I think Blackthorne is an Evil Clown who enjoys tormenting him. :rollin

I am the Kung-Fu Master, I never start a fight but if I need to I let loose on them with hurtful truths.

Beware, young padawan. The forum battlefields are littered with the bones of those who believed themselves to be kung-fu masters, but were wrong. The true kung-fu master need never announce his presence.

Not true :D

I disagree, and shall say no more.

Aw, they truncated the descriptions since I last visited. The previous description of propellorhead amusingly stated:

Propeller Head knows just about everything there is to know about computers and the internet, and is a little mystified that you don't. Often an inarticulate and clumsy fighter he is still much to be feared because with a few deft keystrokes he can reduce your computer to a smoking heap of ruined metal. Or at least he says he can.

When I first came to that page, I couldn't stop laughing due to the amazingly accurate description of the archetypes there. (and I also plead guilty of the practice of comparing people I knew on the internet to these archetypes)

That said, I guess I'm a combination of admin and nanny with a slight pinch of netiquette nazi thrown in at unfortunate moments.

I don't think it's fair to classify BT as a true evil clown, because evil clowns mostly focus on discussions where they can toss a quick smart-alec comment into the crowd before scramming again. (due to their lack of interest in serious and barbless discussion)

I think I'm a bit of a Diplomat and a bit of Yuk-Yuk. Probably something else, but I'm too lazy to read them all.

Ghostface shows some signs of being a Loopy.

Gotta love those pictures!

I guess I'll aspire to being a Philosopher.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, I'm a lurker.
Now if you people excuse me, I gotta get back at it..

I have too many characteristics from too many profiles.

I'd like to just say that I'm simply Awesome.

I'd have to identify myself as a Big Cat tossed with a Jekyll and Hyde, with just a dash of Eagle Scout for flavor.

Thank you..

I very much see myself as a Big Cat, yet I don't use newbies as scratching posts and I don't tend to purr alot.

The pictures also made me laugh, that's a great site you got there!

I'm a l33t h4x0r. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I'm probably a combination of Android and Propeller Head. And I suppose I (technically) have some Fanboy in me, what with me being a POKÃ©MANIAC and all.

MusicallyInspired · #16 Post by **MusicallyInspired** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 1:36 am

I've always thought of Erpy and all forum Admins as Kung-Fu Masters lol. I'm not sure what I am yet, I'm still looking through them. Although I could be called a lurker. I really only post when something really interests me, lately.

What does everyone else think I am? Any ideas?

PotatoSlayer · #17 Post by **PotatoSlayer** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 2:00 am

i think im a Rebel Without a Clue

Keenermart · #18 Post by **Keenermart** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 5:19 am

I pretty well figure myself to be a de-clawed Big Cat, with hints of Therapist and Philosopher... but then again, who knows if I have myself accurately pictured. :)

That's the first time I've seen that though.. really funny stuff.. and yeah, there were definitely people who popped to mind upon reading some of the descriptions... :lol

Spikey · #19 Post by **Spikey** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 10:57 am

I've a bit of fanboy, therapist & jerk I think. I don't know. Don't have time now to look at all of them accurately.

Gronagor · #20 Post by **Gronagor** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 12:55 pm

Erpy can be seen as the Artful Dodger as well.

I really have no idea what I am. I'd say a little bit of everything. :p

I always believed a true lurker has minimal posts (less than 10% of the posts of regular members if even registered). Therefore I'm probably one on this forum.
