Title: Flame Warriors
Post by: stray on July 20, 2005, 01:03:46 PM
Probably old news, but has anyone seen this?

Some of them are kind of funny.

(http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/Assets/ferrouscranus.jpg)

Ferrous Cranus is utterly impervious to reason, persuasion and new ideas, and when engaged in battle he will not yield an inch in his position regardless of its hopelessness. Though his thrusts are decisively repulsed, his arguments crushed in every detail and his defenses demolished beyond repair he will remount the same attack again and again with only the slightest variation in tactics. Sometimes out of pure frustration Philosopher will try to explain to him the failed logistics of his situation, or Therapist will attempt to penetrate the psychological origins of his obduracy, but, ever unfathomable, Ferrous Cranus cannot be moved.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're trying to catch Voodoolilly up.

Nope. Maybe there's a entry for "Newb". Hmmm..

Ahh yes.

I'm probably a cross between that and this:

Where is V-Lily?  I miss her happy face and shiny laughter?

Oh dear.  Please reverse my adjectives.  It'll make more sense.

Wow, I remember these from WAYYYYY back.  This is like birth of the internet type stuff, like before Al Gore even.

I guess it's true, everything old IS new again.

FWIW, the list has roughly doubled in size since I first saw it in 1999.  If you haven't read it since then you might want to check it out again.   :wink:

I think I first logged on in 1995, which is fairly early, I guess......But I was a secluded (and stupid) Mac user for years. I didn't touch a message board until maybe 3 years ago (around the same time that I started playing MMO's).

Btw, you were the first thing I thought of when I saw this:

Definitely not as bad as the description though  :-)

(http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/Assets/ego.jpg)

For Ego, the discussion forum is all about him, and he regards discussions that stray from that topic as trivial dalliances. Although tolerant of an occasional shift in focus, Ego grows increasingly restive when the forum's attention shifts away from his interests, and he will often provoke conflict to reestablish himself as the subject at hand. Ego is one the the fiercest of all the Warriors and will fight to the death when attacked.

Wow, it even looks like him...

Yeah, there are quite a few more.  I think there were only 8 or so when I first saw it.

There were something over a dozen when I first saw it in 1992.  Somebody added a lot of art, though.
