Is it normal personas.

Is it normal that I really enjoy peoples' personas on here?

Over the time that I have been here, there have been some really clever and entertaining characters. I want to know what are some of your favorite (or least favorite) personas past and present from IIN?

    We have a brand new one. I like him already, even though I find Star Wars beyond dull.

    The ParrishAlterEgo thing was a pain in the ass. But I grew to love/hate him.

            Nope I know who you are and unless you have lied in the past you are not British.

    I'm not quite sure if you're referring to all of the users, or just the sort of novelty or fake accounts. I'm guessing the latter, but I'm not sure, because I feel like the way we are on here is sort of a persona. I do it too. I don't mean that everyone is being fake, far from it. Hmm, I can't word it without sounding like I'm saying we're acting. I just find myself feeling like I can't say certain things because it's not very "bananaface". It's a bit weird, and I'm trying to be more myself. I don't know if that's what you eant, though. If you are asking my favourite users, then there are a few of them.

    As for the obviously fake personas:

    http://isitnormal.com/people/Sir%C2%A0Reginald%C2%A0Fisticuffs%C2%A0III/ ♥

    Ha! I miss him, he really made me laugh. Although I kind of like that when I scroll down his profile, several of the comments there are about me:P. Haha, I wish him, or just the actual user who made it, would come back. They were very clever.

    • I was actually referring to the sort of novelty or fake accounts (though fake seems like a rather negative term for what I meant). I love the regulars too though, don't get me wrong! I do know what you mean though. Peoples' online personas are often different from the way that they are in real life.

      Yeah, Reginald and Jollywigs were both fantastic characters. I wish they would have stayed, but alas, I think that the user who created them may have run out of fun to have with them. It always seemed to me that his time here was fueled by his ability to cleverly troll people, in a very specific way that was both humorous and enlightening. He did it like no other has before or ever will I think and will always be greatly remembered for it.

      Am I the only person who wonders how Sir Reginald managed to get blank spaces into his name? Out of all the things I could have remembered about that profile, my main takeaway from it was that his name had blank spaces in it. I tried to create an account with black spaces once to see if I could, and I couldn't work out how.

        I've just this second try to set up an account, with a username with spaces and it said they weren't allowed. Damn, I wonder how he did it. Hmm, I'm very curious now. I'm going to be trying to set up a new account (with spaces) until I get one now:P!

        Edit: Ok, 2 minutes later and I give up!:P Grr.

          I don't know how I didn't find this before, but maybe he used an invisible character like this: http://www.worldstart.com/the-invisible-character/ I can't try it out (at least not right now) because my laptop keyboard doesn't have a number keypad, but that's quite possibly what he did :P

          I'm not sure if he could have done that though, because I even tried copy-pasting the invisible character from his name and using that in my attempts to create a name with a black space, and I seem to remember that not working :/

      I'm guilty of this too, that being said, I do think because of the nature of this website that there's no need to limit yourself to a character we've created. Be you. That's where the most honest answers will come from, and those are the only answers that ever make a real difference.

      • After you spend some time here though, you start to develop a reputation of sorts. Once that reputation is established, certain things are kind of expected of you in a way. There is no way to avoid this reality. Even creating a new account on a regular basis would not solve this problem, because people would likely still recognize the person or eventually recognize them. It's probably not as bad for some people on here, and I try to be myself as much as I can, but this is how I personally feel about the matter.

      • bananaface

        Oh, I am being me. I knew I'd phrased it badly. I am very much myself here. To be honest, there's no way I'll ever be completely myself, same with anyone else, although for me, it feels really obvious (I can't speak for anyone else, of course:P). I'm only slightly limited, but I think it's a good thing sometimes.

    I loved the whole Sir Reginald and Lord Achibald thing.

    I loved talking to Doktor Hildred, I wish he'd come back :(

    I think one of my favourites ever was the SHUT UP guy. Fuck he was funny.

    Oh, and the second and third Profile Inspector's. Not first one.

    Obviously, they are all the jokey personas.

    There are too many people on IIN that I care for or appreciate, I can't possibly mention them all.

          I can't believe I forgot the roaring in the face. I love IIN for so many reasons and people like him are just the cherry on the cake. :D

    • I remember the Doktor Von Hildred one. He was pretty funny.

      I don't know if I remember the SHUT UP guy. Seems like there was a response to him one time that I liked or something. It may have been my response to him.

      Were the second and third profile inspectors different people or what? I wasn't here a whole lot when that was going on. My profile never got inspected :( Lol.

      I am the same way, I love the people on here, but for me to try and list them all would be a futile effort at best.

        Dr Hildred was great. Someone told him he sucked and then he was gone. I hope it wasn't for one opinion. Who was the bum who insulted the doc?
        The comments went like this...

        Dr Hildred: I've never been in someone's presence when they've crapped themselves.
        Other guy: I just crapped on myself for all of the sucky comments you've been making all over. You suck.
        Dr. Hildred: ok now I've been in someone's presence who's crapped themselves

        Bring the doc back.

        Haha the SHUT UP guy was old, he had 3 stories, and he just kept yelling SHUT UP every now and then in them, like someone was trying to interupt him. I actually found an old profile that might have been him. I should look through all my favourited crap and see if I can find it, it was hilarious.

        The second and third Profile Inspectors were different people. Both alter egos of very lovely people. I'm not sure if the first one was just some random person, or an alter ego who didn't like people here (or possibly an attempt at humour that misfired?)

        There are some great people on here, yeah. I think I know who you are, actually, OP. You've always been one of my favourites :)

    I've kind of given a big list of the people I miss on another post just a few minutes ago so if you combine that list with the people I've forgotten, the people still here that I like (whether it's obvious or not), and the new people I'm growing to like, that's my "like" list.

    As for least favourites, I'd never mention them by name. If I had a problem with them, it'd have been best dealt with in private (although I didn't do that, either, I just did nothing). I really can't think of many, though. In two and a half years of IIN, I'm up to two people. Oh wait, three. It takes a lot to inspire dislike in me. That's not to say there haven't been people who tested my patience at times (usually deliberately).

        Why, thank you. I keep thinking about people I missed, though. I should start keeping a list and every time I notice someone, add them to the list then I could just copy and paste it. :)

            That we are! When I was a kid, I used to keep a list of people (usually Hollywood actors) had a thing for. It went way into triple figures.

            Heh! I think I just like lists of stuff. At least I have a fellow weirdo on IIN. :P
