something I thought of in my spare time (off time in school when it's impossible to get a job in bakersfield, you can get bored really easily).
so basically, I decided to create the forums an offshoot of the pokemon card game. this may seem a little complex. each element has a general forumer to it, your type is capable of changing. this may be a little complicated if you don't remember the pokemon card game as a kid.
Edit: Mod note: This is purely satire and are most of the time done at request.
*=colorless
general run of the mill forumer, usually doesn't stand out with until rare case. not particularly strong against anything, particularly weak against trolls(fighting) as they are prone to falling in troll traps, and somewhat resistant to high potential forumers (psychic), as they don't care about the subjects brought up or called out
^=fire
Active posters, the people that make threads generally, for good info or bad. Whilst they stick to the halo wars subject, they don't always have the best information. generally strong against forum learners (grass) due to the potential for giving believeable information, and forum veterans (steel) for being able to agitate them. Fire has a weakness to passive posters (water)
<=water
Passive posters, generally sit back and wait for a thread to be posted, positive for being ones to wait for a post to be up, so they don't say anything stupid, but also aren't the quickest to the draw the help the new learners, and still have the potential to be terrible. strong against active posters (fire) for knowing what to say next. weak against forum learners (grass) for not getting information in time of the question over an active poster, and also against quick posters (lightning) for wasting there time to a post that will never be looked at again.
>=grass
Forum Learner, generally ask questions about a strategy or unit, seldom make answers. strong against passive posters (water) for having responses that active posters will beat to the quick draw, and also against trolls(fighting) for being able to ignore their relavancy. weak against active posters for having the potential to fall for the information given.
!= lightning
Quick Posters, these forumers come and go, and make a very large slot pool. they make 1 or two posts and generally never come to the forums again. strong against passive posters for calling them to do a dedicated response, and also against some general forumers for the same reason. weak against trolls as they are high prone to be bullied if they stay long enough.
# = fighting
trolls or borderline trolls. make useless threads or bully someone to get an odd form of attention. strong against regular posters and quick posters for high effect of their words. weak against high level forumers and veteran forumers for easily being able to be shot down.
@=psychic
high level forumers, either veterans or simply people that don't care much for debates. incredibly strong against trolls for being able to shoot them down easily. has no weaknesses other than other high level forumers.
%=steel
veteran forumers, have been on the forum for a long time, capable of making solid responses. generally strong against trolls and forum learners (the ones that ask stupid questions). generally weak against active posters for lack of a quickdraw and quick posters for falling to their posts.
&=dark
moderator, need I say more? strong against every type, only weak to trolls for having to actually bother to delete them.
now, for card examples. basically, forum cards have two bars, ego and reputation, if either goes down, the card is out.
