Almost any warrior could be The Hulk, and it is impossible to tell until someone triggers the transformation like a carefully camoflagued booby-trap in some Vietnamese jungle. This trigger varies depending on what the type of warrior he is when he isn't The Hulk. But once the tranformation has begun, a forum will find it has a trial-sized Godzilla on it's hands.
Once fully transformed, The Hulk will lash out at the object of his rage without mercy, and without regard for bystanders. If you aren't with him and cheering him on, then you're against him and subject to his wrath. Any action is justified in his own mind, therefore any attempts to calm him and return him to his normal state will only enrage him further. Battling The Hulk is a no-win scenario, no matter how many warriors pile on. The more outnumbered he is, the more devastating and destructive he becomes. Even Kung-Fu Master, Big Dog, and Ferrous Cranus cannot contend with The Hulk.
The only way to stop The Hulk, is for Admin or Nanny to step in, and ban him from the forums. If this is not done quickly however, the damage to the forums could become equal to that of a Godzilla attack.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I have seen people like this. It's like a mixture of Jekyll and Hyde and Godzilla, but without the total randomness. |

Wow, four whole pages of replies, and only the first three of them were about the initial suggestion...
I have a question though, How is the relationship between The Hulk and Jekyll and Hyde any more of a duplication than say... Idealogue and Capitalista?
This idea came to me because I was seeking a flame warrior that fit this poster I know, and Jekyll and Hyde didn't work because of it's randomness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BTW, did anything ever happen with Redundant Quoter? I suggested him way way back when, on the old site, and Mike seemed to think it was a capital idea. Did he get integrated or combined into another warrior, or did he just get forgotten? |

Dunno about redundant quoter. You'd probably need to e-mail Mike about that.
As far as your suggestion goes, my opinion isn't changed. Jekyl and Hyde Is the main attribute, but there are some significant nuances as you described. It's still a good write up, and it's not up to us to draw the thing.

Draw? Not sure what you mean by that...
No, I understand and appreciate your criticism. Naturally you don't want to duplicate what's already there.
But I keep looking at Capitalista and Idealogue and I'm seeing even less of a distinction between those two. I probably wouldn't have even suggested this, for the exact reasons you're talking about, were it not for Capitalista.
It's okay though. I'm a newb here, so perhaps there's something I'm missing.  |

There's quite a few 'yin/yang' type warriors in the roster already. I'm just not certain that yours is that kind of situation. Both The Hulk and Jekyl and Hyde undergo a transformation from tranquil to problem. Where they differ is the means by which they transform, and the extent of the transformation. Good distinctions to make I think, but it would make this warrior a subset.
There's nothing wrong with this, as there are lots of subset warriors on the roster already. Also, most people are a mix of several warriors. Your description seems in some ways to be a combining of J/H and Godzilla. That's one nasty warrior, I might add.

Tell me about it. Like I said... I know a guy whom this would fit, and I've seen him go into "Hulk Mode". Not pretty. |

Y'know that list you pointed me to in the other thread...?
The Hulk is already there, almost exactly the way I described him... 
Maybe I should pay more attention to the part that says; "(PLEASE READ BEFORE SUGGESTING)".
Oh well. My write-up is way better than his anyway. I can take some consolation in that, at least. |

That works. Irritus put that list together, and knows it like the back of his upper-right manipulator. He sets us n00bs straight after we make fools of ourselves.

I also found a warrior called The Quoter, but the write-up I did that Mike liked so much isn't there. I called mine "Redundant Quoter" anyway.
Do they take suggestions for write-ups for existing (suggested) warriors, or is all that left exclusively to Mike Reed?
I may not be able to think up anything original, but I know I can do mean write-ups. |

Sorry I'm late... Capitalism is not a political philosophy, it's an economic one. As for The Hulk, I would have linked you to the earlier suggestion but I was bogged down with people who think continuing to talk is the same thing as making progress in a debate.
If you have an old suggestion from the guestbook, just resuggest it here. There's a ton of stuff in the guestbook that Fence Sitter was trying to go over.

I personally don't see anything wrong with trying to rewrite an existing suggestion, but others, such as Irritus, disagree. So I guess it's up to Mike Reed, who hasn't said shit on the issue. Bother...

I could argue that... and I'd probably win. But I'll let it go.

I'll try to remember how it went. If Fence Sitter is still pouring over the old guestbook, is there a chance he'll find it? |

You're probably right. It'd eventually come down to semantics anyways. Heh.
As for Fence, he's been posting stuff on his own schedule. I'd suggest PMing him about it.

Hi
The old guest book was posted some time back in the Random section. Typically, it looks like the server went down for the last time sometime in the last 2 weeks.
Will move it to a new file server. Guest2.zip 218 KB This is the same file, except some text was cleaned up that I hadn't removed.
"Redundant Quoter". Redundant Quoter feels the need to quote, usually with a copy/paste operation, the entire message he is replying to. While this tactic is annoying to other warriors, Redundant Quoter pays no heed. Redundant Quoter is unable to come up with anything original of his own, and can only respond to the attacks of other warriors. He will often chop quotes up into bite-sized chunks, and reply to each chunk separately. Redundant Quoter can slow a discussion down so much, that he will soon find himself alone with only Tireless Rebutter to talk to.
Other Ideas

Yes it it. When the Real Life work load dies down in a day or so, I'll be putting a few of the old guestbook entries up. I'll include that (R.Q.) down there in the Crypt. You sound happy enough to claim the ones that you did, so I'll name you as Author.

Justdouble checking, is redundant quoter someone who will quote:
"What are you? Five?"
As:
| Quote: |
"What are you?"
I'm me
"Five?"
Huh? what kind of question is that? |
If so, I think that's more of a tactic than a full blown warrior.

Hmmmmm I think I might be a hulk, because that is exactly how I act. Im normally mild mannered, clever, nice and fairly benign. However, when for some reason something gets me mad, and I tend to be sensitive about certain issues, I get enraged and utterly "destroy" my enemies if I can. This has resulted in huge battles, people leaving the forums, and moderators having to step in to difuse things, even banning me temporarily. But I dont know what my normal state would be. I tend to look for enemies and allies that the Hulk can make use of, but I dont ever plan on "transforming", its usually a total accident.
