	I need a new forum persona Increase Your PM Length

I was informed several months ago that I'm a crap poster, and it appears that I'm still a crap poster. Obviously I need a change! I'm considering one of the following forum personas to replace my contemptible "irreverently inane poster" persona*

1. Sanctimonious Communist

2. Sanctimonious Libertarian

3. Guy Who Ironically Tells Other People How They Ought To Be Living Their Life Despite The Fact That I'm Not Doing That Good Of A Job At Living My Own

4. Incessant Creator of Polls

5. Anti-Bush (or Anti-Republican) Troll

6. Anti-Clinton (or Anti-Democrat) Troll

7. Copy-Paste Poster

8. Lazarus and the Gimp (Note: It'd probably be pretty difficult for me to pull this one off, unless I'm actually Lazarus and the Gimp, which I don't think I am.)

9. Guy Who Just Complains About His Personal Life A Lot, Possibly Asking Other Posters For Advice That I Will Subsequently Ignore

10. Random Finnish Poster (I'm convinced that Finns are actually just smashing their fists on their keyboards in the Suomithreadi's, and heck, I've been doing that for years!)

11. One-Trick Pony (Please recommend a trick below.)

12. Guy Who Has A Webcam/Digital Camera, And Dammit, I Won't Let You Forget It (Note: This will probably necessitate the purchase of a webcam or digital camera, and I'm not sure if there's any room for one in my apartment between the empty pizza boxes and empty beer cans.)

13. Sports Poster (Note: This one might be difficult for me to pull off, since I'd probably have to learn a helluva lot more about sports than I already do. With most of the rest of the personas I could probably just fake it.)

we can always use more Laz types. And the ironic posters are always fun.

Got too many of these... you'll just be lost in the crowd.

Well, "men are getting screwed by divorce lawyers" and "my rage about the drug war is sending me into a parsing frenzy" have been taken. How about "Those damnable kittens and the pain they cause me"? No, wait... that's MtG.

Ahh, I got it: "My ass always itches!"

How about being Poly's only Commie-Nazi? The internal conflict in itself would be hilarious.

I say we need another Laz, or one more random Finn

Sameness is BORING. Why settle for a single persona?
Variety is better.
Creativity is great.

If I were both a Sanctimonious Communist and a Sanctimonious Libertarian then that might result in my being a Nazi-Commie. Difficult to say for certain -- it might just result in my spontaneously combusting.

You could be a one trick pony.
There must be loads of ways to get "restricted" here, and maybe you could investigate a few of them, and report back to us on your findings.

If youŽd visit the OT more often youŽd know that we usally donŽt say other posters are funny people. Instead we desperately try to make witty comments to appear funnier. Of course, most of the time it is useless, but we never give up

The angry sanctimonious types get boring after awhile. I think that the sanctimonious types who are unfailingly cheerful and use lots of smilies while telling everyone what a Wonderful World it'll be if everyone just listened to me arty: are possibly the most annoyingly persistent. Just pretend you got religion recently.

You can be a female prossie and accidentally hint that you are one at one of the depressed rants.. dropping little hints month by month. And you're trying to play the game and become a pimp or something. That would be interesting.

We need another webcam whore, what with Redjon disappearing. Still, you don't want your new personality costing too much money.

Laz is very funny, but doesn't post enough. Maybe if there were two of them running around the forums...

That would be Mr. Nice Guy. But he went into religion some time ago already.

You can replicate the standard arrogant patriotism of an American, but do it from some country like Luxemburg or Uzbekistan. Constantly make threads about internal Luxemburg politics like the whole world cares, and constantly promote Luxemburg interests in every thread.

"Uzbekistan's GDP dropped half a percent last year, how will this affect the world economy?"
