The B.NET human Safari!

Weeeellll its 2:02 over here in the UK, And I am a little bored. So heres a little creative writing for ya. A [i] little [/i] off topic, but it is a reasonably accurate representation of b.net...... We post in an extremely diverse and interesting community. Many different people and cultures exist within, but I cannot remeber a post that has looked at who is invoved in the community, or who makes the community what it is, the regular members. So, come with me on the official.... [b] BUNGIE.NET HUMAN SAFARI! [/b] Now, the first person you will now doubt encounter as a new guy will undoubtedly be... 'The Flamer!' Fear not his scary name, this guy is harmless. He considers the words '-blam!-' and 'Dumbass' to be witty insults. Ignorance is the best way to deal with this user. It appears to be their mortal weakness. Much like........ 'The Spammer!' Now these guys like to pretend they are starting some sort of 'cool' revolution. They are not. Don't think the Russian Revolution 1917, the RR 1905. They are v. irritating, however, they cannot stand one thing..... BEING IGNORED.... Ignorance, as they say, is bliss, and can be the most potent tool in your posting arsenal. Use it wisely. Now, there are some users who are stricken with a terrible disease... It is known as RPD aka Repetitive Post Disorder. Now this person could be a regular user, but when this disease strikes, they will post a topic that has been discussed many times before. A nasty affliction, but gentle persuasion usually cures the disease. When this person comes into contact with The Flamer, all hell usually breaks loose. Be aware, and watch out for these situations. Now, we come on to another group... The Grumpy Old Men. These guys have been around a while, and are usually the most intelligent and thoughtful of the community. However, when goaded, it is possible that they may bite back.... and they no how to flame very well, in some cases it has been known that there flaming is so subtle, it is not seen as flaming at all. My advice? Don't bother these guys. They will ALWAYS think Marathon is better than Halo.... Don't try and change that. Now we come to the intellectuals. This group of people are unhappy with the amount of MC vs Neo threads that seem to pop up constantly, and would much rather discuss the effects of Halo on the geo-political climate in North Korea. WARNING-If the conversation of these individuals is too much for you, or goes over your head, DO NOT JOIN IN. You will only regret it later if you decide to flame these guys... They could make your head explode just by thinking hard enough about your name. Well, thats all the members I could think of. Post any others. EDIT: [i] Thanks for the spelling Anton. I usually like to consider myself an Intellectual, and now with the correct spelling in place, I can once again climb back up onto my high horse. Now, lets discuss Halo and its correlation with the rise of hardcore gaming communities within the mainstream market... [/i] [Edited on 8/25/2004 8:33:48 AM]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Surge ......EDIT: If I may add another catagory...Ultimate Badass Mofo, of which I am this board's sole specimen. This brooding, superintelligent being enjoys moving from post to post leaving behind snippets of his unfathomable intellectual prowess in the form of scathing quips which cause spammers and other creatures of miniscule mental capacity intense brain spazms and convolutions. He is not one to be trifled with. Only the slightly superior Overlord can intimidate him.[/quote] You can recognize him by his little girl avatar. Sorry! Far too easy! Besides, I liked the old avatar better. I still see it for other members and think "Surge!"
