Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to use names and personalities from a Message Board to write a Book would that be bad?

For example, If some person wrote a book using the name Edine and Tsa'ah as handsome rogues in their story, is it cheating? Kind of make it soap operaish maybe have a few girls named Maimara or Michiko in it?

Not saying anyone is doing that just wondering!!! I wonder about funny things sometimes. :saint::saint:

What kind of personality would your character have?

Disclaimer: Okay these are just examples as I guess your characters would play in a story. Not saying you are really like it but your personality may show a little of what I describe. SO don't throw tomatoes at me! This is just for fun.


1. Maimara would be the pretty ass-kickin gal like Sydney on Alias.

2. RangerD1 would be the brave warrior with a few personal issues that contributes to him being numb to some things.

3. Harm None would be the wise owl or the voice of reason among the group.

4. Red Devil would be the jackass.

5. Warclaidhm would be the goofy guy that purposely asks for a toilet bowl swirlie.

6. Lalana would be the princessy model. Twirling her hair around her finger.

7. Teeoncy would be the manipulating temptress.

8. Parkbandit would be the sly sneaky one with quick hands.

9. Leloo would be the uppity one sitting always on a soapbox.


Well you get the idea.

What type of personality do you think your inner character would have if someone wrote a book using you?

:D

Um I think I would be the opinionated plain jane.

We have no personal claim to these names. I am a little unsure as to the ones in GS itself, but ones of a message board are not protected I believe.

Chelle

Overlord would be the wise cracking Brutish dude.

StrayRogue would be the silver tongued flirt.

Tsa'ah would be the jocklike guy.

Michiko would be the giddy school girl.

In the last two years I've written a sort of life story of myself.

113 pages and counting. 10 font single spaced.

Why not just physically masturbate and be done with it? I mean, no offense, but next to science, autobiography is about the most egotistical thing you can do.

Books are fun. My inner character would be uselessly smart (you know the type). But I can run pretty fast.

By the time someone finishes a book about you, you'll be too old to read anyway.....

i sorta disagree .. autobiography's can be a great source of passing information from generation to generation. i know in my case its the best way for me to get the information of my grandmothers life during ww2. she has a hard time sitting down and talking about her life and its easier to read her accounts. she doesnt do it for anyone besides her and her family.


but to stay on topic seeing as how its a fantasy game and a good port of gs has names taken from other games/books etc. i dont see a huge deal. but if you start capturing personalities i think you should atleast mention it to the people your borrowing from.

Do you prefer with glasses or without? Maybe when I go home Tuesday I'll take pics. And I'll hold up a sign that says "PC Forums" or something. :rolleyes:

I'm not quite sure how to answer this, because you're very attractive both ways. So i'm just going to say: Yes.

Forget "home". I have a digital camera and a big apartment. Come visit me. :P

Peam = guy that bangs everyone's girlfriend/wife/daughter.

Forgetting my boyfriend and your girlfriend, are we?

Anyway, to get back on topic, I think it'd be pretty neat if someone wrote a book or whatever with names/personalities from the message board. I'd definitely be interested in seeing it. :)

Halfsilver, I've been here a LONG time. I just change my username cus I dont play GS anymore so no need to be GS4Gurl anymore. :P

I only listed some characteristics cus I wanted you guys to list what you think each other would be or what yourself would be! :lol:

Weedie: I picture her to be a defiant headstrong princessy type whos often pretty stubborn.

Daina: Would be with Harmnone as a voice of reason with an attitude.

Tayre: Would of course be the Tool of the Story. I picture him being loved by the group but also with a kick me sign on his butt. A cute butt though! :ducks:

Latrinstorm would be the guy with tape inbetween his glasses and a good pair of running shoes on his feet. bwahaha.

Okay I cant help but do this one:
The girl who shall not be named: would be the one running from clique to clique trying to find one to accept her, only she ends up making a mess of things. She goes and sits in the corner, folding her arms with a scowl on her face, and whines cus she just can't figure out why.

Halfsilver: would be the Opie look alike with not much really to say unless its about a certain person then he turns in to a raving maniac. A Dr. Jekylle and Mr. Hyde type personality.

Ben: would be of course be the bully type who tries to come off as a um... tuff guy who hides a inner soft spot.

Kranar: would be the big daddy guy who keeps everyone in line.

its no fun to describe yourself .. its more fun to talk about the old ladies .. you know weedmage and spungirl and such

Jolena
11-24-2003, 01:54 PM
Hehe, I see Caiylania as the really sweet, little innocent girl who just tries to have fun with everything.

Tayre as the arrogant, loveable and slightly annoying one.

Michiko as the sweet, often very peppy type who loves a challenge.

stray as the one who wishes to do all the women and has some inner anger building up.

Stun as the calm collected one who has a sick sense of humor often time.

Daina as the voice of reason with an attitude like Chelle said.

Harmnone as the voice of reason who has some sassiness in her.

Maimara as the no bullshit type who will kick your ass in a heart beat but honestly has a soft spot she hides from others.

And I don't think I even wanna know what type I am.

Sean
11-24-2003, 02:03 PM
hmm okay if i had to use PC people to write a book these would have to be my characters ...

ill start with michiko who will be trying to kidnap daina's doodlebug.

however she keeps failing because tayre is too busy humping her leg for her to do anything.

daina will be in her lair trying to create an army of doodle bugs to make a pass at world domination.

the old hags of the story, weedmage and spungirl will be the nosy neighbors from across the street who watch all the ongoings from their rocking chairs across the street.

red devil will be the village idiot.

edaarin will make a cameo as the delivery boy.

and im too lazy to think of anything else

Jolena
11-24-2003, 02:12 PM
Whee doodlebugs! Gotta love em! And wow Tijay.. you made me splutter on the Tayre thing hehe.

Edaarin
11-24-2003, 02:22 PM
Because a lot of interesting shit happens to people. You can sit down with any 1 person off the street and I guarantee they'll be able to entrance you for hours about their life.

Egotistical? Shit, that's what my resume's for.

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time.What do you get at the end of it?A death.What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School.You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!! Amen"
