Get to know your creators!
01/09/07 at 09:08:22
 
Someone mentioned that our creators should post more visible information about  
themselves, proving that we're actually human and such.  While we're contemplating how to best implement such a creator profile section... here's my rpprofile.
 
Knowledge:
Jovan is a friendly, silly creator with a penchant for gastric humor and
writing overdetailed descriptions.  Jovan usually wears a male avatar because
it's just plain easier that way.  Plus, the apostrophe in phealth is funny.  
Jovan can often be found on the channels reciting 'wabbajack wabbajack
wabbajack' and making cracks about open source software.
 
Goals:
Establishing Opera as the King of Browsers, finishing all the projects
cluttering up /wiz/jovan/, and spraying for typos every few months.
 
Personality:
Often described as 'quirky' or 'weird'.  Some would describe Jovan as 'geeky'.  
'Smart$%^' is a bit more like it.
 
Likes:
Caffeine, sketchbooks, ninja code monkeys, dv9000z laptop, swords, buddha,
food, long walks down empty city streets, .45 caliber handguns, quaker parrots,
daggerfall, switch statements, fellow coders, kayaks, kevlar, jasmine tea,
arabic calligraphy.
 
Dislikes:
screws, $%^hats, stupidity, cell phone drivers, spam, eggs, poorly documented
code, visual basic textbook
 
Example scenarios:
Accursed Lands Thong on cafepress.com:
White text on black:
"Enter  -- Accursed-lands.com port 8000"
Need some help connecting? There are different ways to connect to a mud,
depending on your operating system and personal preference.

Knowledge:  
Fingers in lots of different pies, but up to the knuckle in none.
 
Goals:  
http://www.google.com/accursed-lands
Number of finished projects to be greater than number of in progress projects.
A mash up of everyone elses goals, but with Kugra flavor!
 
Personality:  
A bit schizoid.  Super, overly-friendly one day; grumpy, angry and fairly antisocial the next.  Covers it all up nicely with sarcasm and humor though!
 
Likes:
Smoking.  Being entertained.
 
Dislikes:
Up-their-own-ass people.  'Anti-' people (mostly racists, homophobics, anti-smokers and vegetarians).
 
Example scenarios:  
11pm:  
Kugra: OMG dude, I fecking love youuuu!  I really really love youuu!
 
Next day:
9am:  
Kugra: Wow.. sorry about last night, I just had a bit too much..
Other: Yeah, we know Kugra, we know.

Knowledge:
Evidently, not LPC.  But still I occasionally try to do things with it.
 
Goals:
Average out to be a positive force on the game.  The great thing about averages is that I can save all the positive stuff for later and can continue detracting for a bit longer...
 
Personality:
I don't know quite what to put here.  I'm sure people that have seen me on the channels will have plenty of different ideas, ask them.
 
Likes:
Helpful people, learning to code, dabbling in the theme, helping creators/players.  Oh, and driving Xotl insane with requests for help on random unimportant things, despite his best efforts to make me actually learn on my own instead. . .  Wink
 
Dislikes:
People with thin skin, and people that demand special exception without earning even respect.
 
Example scenarios:
[errors] Something critical to the game just broke, again.
[wiz] Virthe: Dycedarg probably did that.
[wiz] (everyone else) agrees.

Knowledge:
A scant knowledge of LPC, and a scant knowledge of theme is enough to be allowed to idle all day without being disconnected Smiley
 
Goals:
To fix the many bugs I've introduced to the MUD, at least.
 
Personality:
Dull.
 
Likes:
Umm... Cooking, programming new stuff, procrastinating.
 
Dislikes:
Reading over old buggy code undecided
 
Example scenarios:
Moaning about an ever-increasing to-do list.  (Currently about 40 things on there.)

Put 'AL' in the subject line to increase your chances of it getting past my spam filter Wink

Knowledge:
LPC basics, coached by Kugra and Xotl.  Intimate with AL theme and had first started playing in 1999.
 
Goals(in no particular order):
Full release of all races left on the chalk board, starting with rowans.
Entrenching AL with better constructs of IC-obtained theme(NPC's and their AI for better intuitive responses, materials that convey theme, and better reflection of racial dynamics)
Revamping magic to capture subtly evocative reflection
Improve on coding know-how in general
Finishing crowd code which will reward or punish players for certain behaviors depending on the area
Rewriting already-released areas to improve their quality
 
Personality:
As spontaneous as I am content depending on the gravitational pull of the moon, humanist to the fullest extent, a 10-year old vegan with vegan shoes from the UK and Portugal that would send you silly with envy, hemp/environmental/human rights activist and I have a dream to live in an earthship(earthship.org).  Very fond of films that aren't rewashed tripe of a production from Hollywood.
 
Likes:
