Flame Warriors ~ View topic - Yet again, more flame warrior suggestions

Guest

I suspect some of these may have been suggested in times before. But I dug through this forum and found no similar ones, so here I go.

OLD COOT:

A relative of Ennui, the old coot does nothing but remember how things were in the 'good ol' days' of the board. Perhaps a productive board member at one time, or maybe a xenophobe who got worn out, old coots do not engage in combat, but instead sit on their porch and remember classic members and how much more interesting/funny/intelligent the message board was in its 'heyday.' More often than not, old coots are guilty of looking at the past through rose-coloured glasses.

------

NAPOLEAN:

Napolean believes that everyone on the board is on his side, and that those that argue against him will soon be driven out by his loyal soldiers. Delusional to the extreme, Napoleans earn the ire of the entire board, makes poor arguments, and then insist that the majority of the board population agrees with him. Even if pages and pages of counter-arguments are thrown at him, from everyone of any note on the board, Napolean continues to fight, confident that his army will soon rise up and overthrow the rabble that dare challenge him. Beware, Napolean often claims victory when the board grows tired of trying to fight him.

(NOTE: My use of Napolean is that of the classic archtype of mental patients believing they're Napolean, not any direct reference to the man himself.)

----------

MISS SUNSHINE:

A relative of Bliss Ninny, Miss Sunshine is almost always happy and energetic. She thanks everyone for their valued input, often with emoticons or *hugs.* However, if ever engaged in a fight, or even a neutral, well-meaning disagreement is made, Miss Sushine apologises profusely, begging forgiveness from all parties, often apologising to the entire board. Deathly afraid of offending anyone, it is not uncommon for Miss Sunshine to dig her own grave through constant apologies that only serve to earn more ire.

(This one is very similar to others I've read, and others already on. Still, I decided to give it a shot.)

---------

BASELESS BULLY:

Baseless Bully's strategy in battle is to refer to his physical capability in an attempt to intimidate forum members into retreat. He can refer to his 6'8, 300 lb frame of solid muscle, his capability of curling 100 lb weights, his six years of training under a martial arts master, or his fights against three bikers armed with knives and beer bottles. Sometimes, Baseless Bully tries to play a 'gentle giant' only occasionaly referring to his combat prowress while usually laughing off all challenges. Other times, Baseless bullys can be ferocious, loudly claiming how he could easily 'snap the necks of all you 98 lb. geeks.' Obviously, since physical capability does not help at all over the internet, Baseless bully is a weak warrior. Most grugingly admit defeat, though some will claim they will figure out where a forum member lives so that he may show his ability in person. Even in the rare occasion where Baseless Bully's claims may have an element of truth, very few forum goes ever believe his claims.

I've seen quite a few baseless bullies, and their physical prowess (or bluffing of it) seemed to be their only solid argument that they used the majority of the time. They probably have an inferiority complex and seek to compensate.

I used to post on a forum dedicated to boxing simulation, and about 15% of the posters there were Baseless Bully. It was hilarious! They were always challenging each other to fights and stuff.

I think that 99% of the time Baseless Bully is completely full of sh--. For some reason 50-75% of the men on the internet are taller than 6'2" and weigh more than 220lbs. Rolling Eyes

Anyway, I think Baseless Bully is a good idea, but maybe with a different name... hmmm... maybe 'Tough Guy'?

Baseless Bully will usually back down when confronted by Centurion.

Tough Guy, eh? That would be a good name. I was having a bit of trouble trying to come up with a good name. I debated Brawler, which didn't really work, or Goon, but settled on Baseless Bully, mostly due to alliteration.
