Topic: Soldar's guide on how to be noticed here.
Soldar
I'll take two of anything, please. To go.
posted 04-28-2002 08:01:41 PM
I realize that some people want to be included in some of the fun, and make it known to us.

If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, then go see Bajah's thread. I don't want to go through this thread and have someone go "WUT?" By saying that I'm ensuring someone will. Prove me wrong.

And now for the guide!

1. Find a 'shtick'
-Something that relates to your personality, or who you are.
2. Convey that 'shtick'
-Present it in a constructive manner. If your shtick is that you like swords, make a thread about swords, and present your knowledge of them/or your posession of them/or your wanting of them. DO NOT USE THE SWORDS SHTICK. We're not in god damn Corneria.
3. Don't complain that your shtick is smaller than someone else's shtick.
-This will cause much sexual innuendo.


This is where I say I have no god damn clue about what I'm saying. But if it's useful information, then sure, use it.

Sometimes, when you get noticed, you regret it.

If you can't laugh at yourself, then whatever you do, don't try to get noticed.

Mwaha.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

You see why it reminded me . . .

Pisses me off, though. There's a new release, but they want registered users to pay yet again. And this one's damned expensive for Palm software.

Whenever I use my shtick, people try to kill me.

You have a minor in the "Everyman" shtick; that is, you can be used in almost any role.

I don't think you have your own unique shtick yet.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE A SHTICK:

If parcelan has parodied you, you have a shtick, and likely know what it is from said parody.

If you HAVENT been parce-parodied, ya dont have a shtick.

Sometimes having a shtick is a good thing. Sometimes its bad.

I have no shtick, and im not gonna create one for myself

You indeed have a shtick, Fal. In fact, you have three!

-Trying and failing to flame.

-You are a n00b Crusader.

I am currently Shtickless, I think.

Whether that is a good thing or not, I don't exactly know.

Of course, if my Shtick is actually archery, it's not too hard to figure that out.

I'm quite happy with my schtick, It works well for me. I'm not quite sure how I generated one, as I probably post barely half as much as most people, but I'm happy none-the-less.

I think a lot of people generate schticks, and never even realize they do. Of course, until someone states it, everyone could very easily have very different images of the same poster, and never even realize it.

... You're a Roach (sometime lobster ) character, as well as a webcomic author whose made great 3-D "Heads" models of several people here. Using those you've made some pretty hilarious comics.

And that's before we even start looking at your posting, and your trends there. I'd say you've got several "shticks" going, unless everyone is using the word in a far different context than I think they are.
