Guide to creating an alternate BD account.

[Diamond18]

Ever wanted to open a new account tailored to your Barrow Downs persona? Well, look no further than this (http://quizilla.com/users/CubicZirconia/quizzes/Guide%20to%20creating%20an%20alternate%20BD%20acco unt) handy guide, which will help you discover the stereotype in you!

*

Okay, you're all wondering what this is (and some of you are wondering whether or not you should close it and flog me). It's a quiz inspired by comments and concerns raised in Manardariel's Quiz Thread. (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=14&t=001000) This one uses "stilted stereotypes" as burrahobbit put it. smilies/biggrin.gif No actual BD member names are used. (Well, except for burra. smilies/evil.gif)

Enjoy.
(There are four results.)

[Beren87]

A most excellent quiz, Diamond. I love the idea. smilies/smile.gif

I seem to have gotten:
You are a classy, well-respected member of the Downs whose intelligence, humor, and good nature, and love for Tolkien are known by all. You might even be a moderator! I love you, wo/man. So, I recommend you choose from the following account names: Gandalfesque, Elf Friend, TooGoodforWords, The Spirit of Tolkiendom, etc. You would, of course, never use these accounts because youre too modest, but it's nice to known, isn't it?

Interesting last question. smilies/tongue.gif

[Alkanoonion]

my result is the same

You are a classy, well-respected member of the Downs whose intelligence, humor, and good nature, and love for Tolkien are known by all. You might even be a moderator! I love you, wo/man. So, I recommend you choose from the following account names: Gandalfesque, Elf Friend, TooGoodforWords, The Spirit of Tolkiendom, etc. You would, of course, never use these accounts because youre too modest, but it's nice to known, isn't it?

[burrahobbit]

I like this one a lot better. It's got a lot of room to improve, though. PM me if you are interested in help overhauling it.

[Gorwingel]

Gosh, I too recieved the same result as Beren and Alkanoonion. Even though they are much more esteemed members of the forum than myself (If only my knowledge of the books was greater smilies/rolleyes.gif )

Very interesting little quiz. I liked it a lot smilies/cool.gif Thanks Diamond!

[Balin999]

Guess what? I got the same result. Two possibilities: We all have taken the same answers, OR the result's the same for everyone. But the quiz is nice, though I would change some things.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

The answer's not the same for everyone. I got the same response as the rest of you the first time, but out of curiosity I answered as the anti-me and got a picture of a troll.

That message starts with 'You are one of those annoying fan boy/girl/things that give the mods headaches' and ends with 'Good luck. You'll need it, punk'

Nice work, Diamond. I think you've raised the tone for Downs-related self-test quizzes.

[ August 22, 2003: Message edited by: The Squatter of Amon Rûdh ]

[The Saucepan Man]

Yes, funnily enough I got the "well-respected member of the Downs" one too. I suspect it's because the answers that lead to this one are those which most "normal" Downers would give (and even if not, they represent the qualities that we all think we like to have smilies/evil.gif smilies/wink.gif ). Perhaps burra was thinking along these lines when he suggested that it needed further work.

I tried the same as Squatter and came up with the Troll and also a Newbie-hating Books purist. Couldn't discover the fourth type, though.

Well done, Diamond. Excellent Quiz (and I like the descriptions of the types - where did pitsar as a name for a troller come from, I wonder? smilies/wink.gif ). Seems to me to be a much better idea than having actual members as the answers (which risks causing offence - either to those used or to those not used).

Can anyone come up with any more Downs stereotypes, I wonder ... smilies/evil.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[Yavanna228]

Ah, I follow suit with being a classy Downs member. Variety is the spice of life. smilies/wink.gif
Peace

[Niluial]

Great quiz Diamond I love it! I keep doing it over and over again answering honestly and yet I get this every time:

You are a classy, well-respected member of the Downs whose intelligence, humor, and good nature, and love for Tolkien are known by all. You might even be a moderator! I love you, wo/man. So, I recommend you choose from the following account names: Gandalfesque, Elf Friend, TooGoodforWords, The Spirit of Tolkiendom, etc. You would, of course, never use these accounts because youre too modest, but it's nice to known, isn't it?
Hmm…. Don’t think so lol!

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

I got the "classy downer" too...but upon taking the test again and picking all different answers, I got what I think is the only result not mentioned as of yet:

You are a member of the old guard, or would have been if you'd found the site sooner. You long for the days when the Downs was solely devoted to deep discussions of Tolkiens literature, and frankly you find all these Newbies rather annoying. Though this very well may be perfectly justifiable, you may come across as an old grouch, so I'm going to recommend that you choose from the following account names: Oscar the Grouch, PJHater, NewbieSlayer, FearMe or Breath of Death. Use this account to burn those Newbies alive without tarnishing the more moderate persona you may be hiding behind right now...

-Aylwen

[Sharkû]

I'm a high-brow Tolkien purist with little patience for the foibles of fanboy/girl/things. Recommended account names: Philosopher's Gallstone, Lord/Lady of Prolixity, HoMEy or JRR's Ghost. Use this account for your most verbose and scholarly posts, so that all shall know what is in store for them before they embark on the perilous quest to find the finish.

[Mister Underhill]

I got the same result -- and also uncovered a flaw in the quiz: you have to check at least one of the burrahobbit boxes. smilies/wink.gif

[Birdland]

I got the same response as most everyone else. Of course, I lie.

[Diamond18]

I expected most would get the 'classy' one, for the reasons Saucepan put forth. That's why I made it so complimentary. smilies/wink.gif That seems to be the rub with stereotypes: most people don't fall under them, unless it's a really broad one (which the classy one was). The high-brow one was the second most likely to be achieved honestly, and the other two, well, I hope you could only get them by fixing your answers. smilies/wink.gif

Check your PMs, burra. And I'm open to suggestions from anyone... (after all, I stole Kewld00d and Pitsar from Squatter for troller names. smilies/wink.gif)

Oh, and thank you, Beren, the typos are fixed now. smilies/tongue.gif (It was after midnight...)

Classy, eh? Well it's nice to know what you all think. smilies/wink.gif

[Galadrie1]

What a surprise, I got the "classy 'Downer." Great quiz, Diamond!

[Eressië Ailin]

Whaddya know? I'm a classy Downer too! Now what would be fun is a 'Which BDer are you?' quiz... It'd have to be really thorough... Actually, I think I'll start making one of those.

[Yavanna228]

Actually, there is a 'Which BDer Do You Most Resemble' thread not far down on the first page that has a quiz that attempts to match your personality with a prominent BDer. But then again, the more the merrier, I suppose, and things can always be improved upon. I suppose though that establishing your very own identity would be most desirable. smilies/smile.gif
Watch out for burrahobbit. smilies/wink.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Another classy downer here... There seem to be a lot of us. Honestly, getting that answer was kind of a relief. I dreaded any of the other results, but as has been said already, the "well-respected" one is quite complimentary. Thank you, Diamond! smilies/biggrin.gif

[the phantom]

I'm also a 'classy' downer.

It didn't appear to be overly complimentary, it just seemed extremely accurate. smilies/wink.gif

[piosenniel]

If one is feeling snarky enough (and yes, I have my moments) then this is the result:


You are one of those annoying fanboy/girl/things that give the moderators headaches, so I'm going to recommend you choose from the following account names: ModSlayer, KewlD00d6, Legosass or Pitsar. Use this account in case your existing one is frozen, or to prevent that from happening. And good luck. You'll need it, punk.

Well, my result was the same as most - still, I seem to be in good company!

[Durelin]

Crap. I'm a tree.

How in the heck am I a tree? Do you people actually respect me?

If your answer is yes, you should seriously reconsider your life.

*mumbles* And I still want a personal title...

Great quiz there, Diamond!

[Iarwain]

That was the most entertaining personality judge yet. The first time, I was told that I was: one of those annoying fanboy/girl/things that give the moderators headaches, so I'm going to recommend you choose from the following account names: ModSlayer, KewlD00d6, Legosass or Pitsar. Use this account in case your existing one is frozen, or to prevent that from happening. And good luck. You'll need it, punk.

That gave me the jollies very much indeed. I then took it over again, and answered more conservatively, and got: You are a classy, well-respected member of the Downs whose intelligence, humor, and good nature, and love for Tolkien are known by all. You might even be a moderator! I love you, wo/man. So, I recommend you choose from the following account names: Gandalfesque, Elf Friend, TooGoodforWords, The Spirit of Tolkiendom, etc. You would, of course, never use these accounts because you're too modest, but it's nice to know, isn't it?

It's incredible how manipulating three or four answers can bring me from "fanboy" to possible moderator. Thanks for the fun, Diamonds! smilies/smile.gif

Why am I not surprised...? Heh! 'NewbieSlayer' and 'FearMe'... I actually like those. smilies/evil.gif smilies/biggrin.gif *runs off to create a new account*
On the other hand...On the award show I did get the "Beanie-Baby Award" for being the least threatening member of the Downs. Just shows that Mithadan either knows me very well.... Or he was drunk at the time!

By the way, what if you don't agree with any of the options about Burrahobbit? smilies/confused.gif

What Burra posts have you guys been reading?

From what I've seen of him, everyone should be checking the "funny" and "smart" boxes on that question.

So, Diamond, have you started work on your new and improved quiz?

I'll try to think of some suggestions and send them to you.

[Diamond18]

Ha. Who knew that Iarwain was an opinion or two away from a fanboy? smilies/evil.gif

I've updated it to include two more 'types'. See if you can find them.

Ah! This is more like it:

You are an RPG addict. You live and breath interactive Tolkien FanFic, and you hardly have time to venture into the discussion forums, darn it! I would suggest alternate account names for you, but I'm sure you already have so many characters to pick from that you don't need any help from me. But you should get help. You know what I mean.

[Oddwen]

Much improved! First try-

You are a cheeky, fearless, devil-may-care poster who knows your Tolkien but isn't afraid to have a good time with it. You're a fun person to post around, so I'm going to suggest the following screen names: BattyEyelashes, Pippinesque, Smart-Aleck, Born to Be Wild or Morgoth-May-Care. Use this account just for the heck of it, and shine on you crazy wight.

Very close. Second try-

You are a high-brow Tolkien purist with little patience for the foibles of fanboy/girl/things.

Now how did that come up? I think I'll settle for Morgoth-May-Care.
A very enjoyable quiz, IMHO.

[burrahobbit]

What Burra posts have you guys been reading?

From what I've seen of him, everyone should be checking the "funny" and "smart" boxes on that question.

Also cute. I think you never noticed because I am always nice to you, because you always make decent posts. I only ever get cross when people are all dumb, but I haven't really done that for a while anyway. Except in the last thread like this one.

[VanimaEdhel]

Coincidentally, I picked "smart", "funny", and "cute"...I've never seen you to be otherwise on the board, burra. I still disagree with the answer I got, I'm not all that classy, and I'm definitely not well-respected. Ah, well, I try!

EDIT: I took it again, and changed some of the answers I was sitting the fence about before and still got the same answer.

[ August 25, 2003: Message edited by: VanimaEdhel ]

With that sunny avatar? Come on! I have the scary and/or kill answer programmed to point to fanboy/girl/thing result.

Hm. I'd have thought you'd get Cheeky, Van. You were probably close. It's still not scientific though, just improved, so...

I'm sorry, Mith, I could update it more but I think you'd still get the same result... I mean, look, you take an Uruk and a Ringwraith and make them into lovable characters. You just can't help yourself. It's sad, really.

Should I incriminate myself? smilies/wink.gif I checked that box. Maybe I'm turning into a burra-fan. That could be interesting.

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmm, I only gave one or two different answers and I came up with:

I'm border-line between being an 'RPG Addict' and a 'classy Downer.' (It changed by just one question that I gave two answers for.)

But, hey! That sounds accurate enough. I'm the type of person who always falls 'in-between.' smilies/smile.gif

[Iarwain]

That's much more like it. Now I can fill out the closest to my real answers without becoming a rampid fanboy. smilies/smile.gif First time, I was a classy mod. Second, I became I high brow Tolkien purist with little patience for fanthings. I'm really not sure which is actually closer to reality. It makes me wonder...

P.S. I've come to the decision that I am much more a Tolkien purist than a classy mod.

Wow, I'm "classy?" I had no idea! I'm one of those Mirth-haunters who feels completely out of place in the books forum. OK, I have posted there a few times, but nothing really "classy." (at least I don't think so) I haven't even read HoME completely, just the Lay of Leithian.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

A burra-fangirl!!! Ahhh!!! It has begun!


Please, no! It's not that I don't like burra, it's just that-fangirlness-aaahhh! I think I'll deny that claim on the grounds that it makes my brain melt to think about it.

I'm one of those Mirth-haunters who feels completely out of place in the books forum.

I'm kind of like that. I'm not so out of place in The Books, I just don't venture there as much. Which is why I was surprised at first with my result, as you are.

This is odd. I took this same quiz last summer but when I took it this time I got a different answer. Last time I got the "classy Downer", but this time-

I did it twice, because I could see that there were two different things to describe me (and I'm obsessive-compulsive).

Time #1 I got what Sauce-Man mentioned above. The cheeky one.

Time #2 I was the classy type.

So, putting this together, I'm a cheeky, yet good-natured Downer.
:D

Got this the first time:

You are a cheeky, fearless, devil-may-care poster who knows your Tolkien but isn't afraid to have a good time with it. You're a fun person to post around, so I'm going to suggest the following screen names: BattyEyelashes, Pippinesque, Smart-Aleck, Born to Be Wild or Morgoth-May-Care. Use this account just for the heck of it, and shine on you crazy wight.

Got this the second time:

You are a classy, well-respected member of the Downs whose intelligence, humor, and good nature, and love for Tolkien are known by all. You might even be a moderator! I love you, wo/man. So, I recommend you choose from the following account names: Gandalfesque, Elf Friend, TooGoodforWords, The Spirit of Tolkiendom, etc. You would, of course, never use these accounts because you're too modest, but it's nice to know, isn't it?

So, I guess if this quiz isn't rigged, somehow (-.^ ^.-) then I am as Saraphim said, a cheeky, yet good-natured 'downer.

[ElenCala Isil]

Why is it that all the results on these quizzes 'ere say I'm cheeky? Am I really that cheeky? I'm going to end up pondering this for the next age, you realise. In any event, that's what I got... "You are a cheeky, fearless, devil-may-care poster who knows your Tolkien but isn't afraid to have a good time with it.

Ahhhh.... good times! I was thinking of making a Quiz for Mirth (subject matter to be revealed later if I actually do it) and logged into the account I created to make this quiz, not thinking it'd still be active. But it is, three years old though it may be.

Anyway, I thought I'd bump it for newer members. Sadly, it was created before the days of Werewolf so there is no "Compulsive Werewolf Player" result. Maybe I should think about creating an updated version. :D

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I'm classy and well-respected, like most other people :) Yay. :D

(Though if you changed it and added a werewolf addict option, I'm pretty sure that would be me)

Now to play with the quiz and see what else comes out...muahaha. :p

Thanks for bringing this up Diamond, fun quiz! I hope this describes me, it sounds like a fun person to be!

[mormegil]

'Classy Downer' though not sure I agree with that.

I think your quiz is broken, Di-love, because everybody knows I'm neither cheeky nor a crazy wight.

[JennyHallu]

You are too cheeky.

[Glirdan]

Ooo!! I love that quiz!!

I love it, I love it, I-L-O-V-E-I-T!!! YAY!! Even though that's not really me...well...actually.. I'm being modest...again...

[Oddwen]

I took it once again, and lo, I am still cheeky.

≈Morgoth-May-Care,
Cheekywen

[Diamond18]

I think your quiz is broken, Di-love, because everybody knows I'm neither cheeky nor a crazy wight.

Case in point. :p

[Lhunardawen]

Another classy one. I love you too, Di. ;)

I wonder, though, how the answer to the last question factors into all the possible answers...

[Lush]

I got Elf Friend (can I be Legolas' Very Special Elf Friend? Pretty please? :D ), i.e. classy and well-respected and all that jazz, but somehow I feel that I am more a Morgoth-May-Care type underneath it all. Split personality maybe? Sleep-trolling on the Downs? Mwa ha ha.

[Nogrod]

I got the "classy" too. And still the quiz told that only 6% have that result... funny?

We are just waiting for your new one, the one that also notices the WW-craze, Diamond!

[Mithalwen]

I got the slightly less than exclusive classy, well respected blah .. though anyone who describes themselves as classy isn't..........

Nogrod, what you are waiting for really surely is a 12 step programme to help with that Werewolf addiction of yours.... :p

[Thinlómien]

The first time taking the quiz I had the morgoth-may-care one and as I thoughyt it (alas!) doesn't describe very well I tried again and got the classy one. It's a bit boring, but at least it fits me pretty well...

Hmmm... I'd say that was about 50% me.

[Naria]

The quiz came up with this for me

You are a high-brow Tolkien purist with little patience for the foibles of fanboy/girl/things. I shall recommend that you choose from the following account names: Philosopher's Gallstone, Lord/Lady of Prolixity, HoMEy or JRR's Ghost. Use this account for your most verbose and scholarly posts, so that all shall know what is in store for them before they embark on the perilous quest to find the finish.

Don't really know what it supposed to mean, but...meh nice quiz Diamond :p :D

[Lush]

And still the quiz told that only 6% have that result... funny?

Maybe some of us are pretending to be classy? ;)

Its true, I won't deny it. :)

[Durelin]

I took this quiz once almost three years ago, but I had to take it again...

And all I have to compare it with is some cryptic nonsense message that suggests that I'm a tree and not too happy about it... *shrugs*

Been there, done that.

It's fun growing up with the 'Downs... :D

Well... it's fitting. I should use Morgoth-may-care as my name. It'd be about as fitting as the one I have now, anyways.

Am I alone in finding this hard to believe in full?

Oh well, I've never been a good stereotype, except when it comes to painting. I always end up doing something odd in a normal fashion.
