Flame Warrior: input & help needed for new categories

[Mental Trousers]

Ok. In an effort to revive the Flame Warrior part of the site I want to add some new categories that are bike oriented. Seeing as I'm lazy I'm looking to kber's to come up with the categories and descriptions. Also, because I lack the know how, I'll need a Graphic Artist to draw up the icons for these new categories.

Any Graphic Artists willing to draw up some icons please contact me.

Everyone else, we need new categories and descriptions.

For example:


Category: Squid (Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Ignorant and Dangerous)
Description: Often found popping wheelies on suburban streets or trying to get their knee down on as many corners as possible, the Squid likes to think that he is the man and that he has no need for proper riding gear as he is never going to crash and even if he does, he's immortal and won't get hurt. Immune to criticism and basic logic the Squid will read something on a highly suspect website claiming that having the bike vertical while his knee is down is worth 5 seconds a lap at the track and promptly go out and try it, falsely claiming that he's now quicker than ever when in fact he's slower.

[Drew]

Ooooohhhhh, this will be fun. I'll give it some thought at work tomorrow and chuck a couple cats amongst the pigeons in the evening.:eek:

Stop picking on skidmark!

[McJim]

We could have some real fun with this - just think of a person and create a flame warrior name for them:

Skidmark - Kalamari Kid (or any given Squid)
DMNTD - Serial Bike Buyer (for anyone who buys more than 3 new bikes a year)
Katman - Anti Mono Maniac (for overly protective comments against wheelies)
Scumdog - Tassled Terror (for tassles on a cruiser)
Maverick - Chicken Strips (for people who don't lean much)
gijoe1313 - Rideaholic (for those who ride...and ride....and ride....and ride....)
Jim2 - Grumpy (no explanation needed)

[Mikkel]

Can't remember if there are such categories already - fascist moderator, devil's advocate, gainsayer extraordinaire, retroactive editor...

There are some similar things already there but I got the impression that Spankme...sorry I mean Mental Trousers :rofl: was looking for bike specific ones.

I still prefer Kalamari Kid to Squid.

[limbimtimwim]

Site Cowpoos - For Cowpoos.

That's it.

[Trudes]

well, we definitely need Bitch - Could even have sub categories: stupid bitch, crazy bitch etc like Drew mentioned in the biggest bitch thread, then Flame can be sexy bitch etc etc.
Noob is definitely needed; antagoniser; sexy beast; Chopper......

Oh and can I say :woohoo: about time the flame warrior was updated, awesome, thanks, I love the flame warriors!:shifty:

[Qkchk]

God Squad - Any member who thinks they can be a Moderator :shutup:

[Usarka]

Site Burnout - Laid all his rubber down on the road ages ago, and has been riding around with the same tired traction and tread since.

:innocent:

[Kendog]

sexy beast

Thanks babe :whistle:

[skelstar]

Something regarding people who just wank on about themselves and don't contribute anything to the site bike-wise. Maybe they don't own a bike or don't intend to. Leech if you like?

Also: Repeat Offender? Someone that creates multiple logins etc ... like 'ReDReP'? LOL

[DMNTD]

How about...

Emo Kid
Painted on ears
Nuttier than Squirrel Shit

[ManDownUnder]

Grease Monkey. Someone with permanently disoloured hands - they love ripping stuff to bits - usually succeed it getting it back together, sometimes it goes, but often they end up with that single 6mm high tensile bolt that "must come from somewhere" but it's probably not important.


Burt Munro. Someone that has "the touch" - They get machinery going, and going etter than ever, with the barest of apparent effort and often in the face of conventional wisdom

I like those 2. Good effort mate. If you can expand the descriptions a little they're definite keepers.

Need descriptions with all of these please. Just a name isn't going to cut it.

[SpankMe]

Not really flame warrior stuff thou as it's not forum related. Maybe the award system (http://www.sv-portal.com/forums/awards.php?) on my SV site is better suited.

Main difference appears to be that multiple people can have same award - with flame warrior its voted for and one person gets each on.

Prefer flame warrior - more individualistic.

[Disco Dan]

Bullshit - Always bragging, lies 99% of the time about his/her abilities. The slightest hint of vertical front wheel movement and stories appear on perfect wheelies.

RoadKill - Aspires to be roadkill, usually ignorant of others advice and rides with little/no regard to anyone elses safety.

KneeJerk - Obsessed with getting his/her knee down

Rossi - Famous for great skill and talent on the track

Wannabe - First bike is usually 600cc + and has bigger chicken strips than a deli, ego is usually far bigger than than actual talent - bins often.

[Mental Trousers]

DESCRIPTION:
This is a Medals/Awards system. Admin can give members awards, and award icons will be displayed in member's profile, posts, as well as in a award list.

. .

[Virago]

...KneeJerk - Obsessed with getting his/her knee down...

Bwahahahahaha...!

[skelstar]

I like the awards system if it means that only a certain group can give the awards out... don't want the sycophants giving them out everywhere.

[Mikkel]

A couple of suggestions.


Mono Lisa Head or tail? -Why settle for either when both are too easy! The sites resident female stunter who displays balls of a magnitude that causes most male member a great deal of envy.


Jesse JamesInfamous for stealing and/or derailing threads taking them away from the OP and far out into the uncharted wastes of Off-topic. Despite the unlawful character of such hi-jacks Jesse receives significant backup for his antics from other more gullible forum users.

[Drew]

Had a couple in mind, more or less been covered...

WhitTrash wannabe: Yet another ass lick that believes the sun shines from Jimmy's bum. Often spouts to all how he/she did amazing things on two wheels in the presence of his holiness, the irreverent and undisputable WhiteTrash.

[Storm]

Are you getting jealous AGAIN drew?

[Swoop]

Rossi - Famous for great skill and talent on the track
but "Likes breaking down part-way through the race" and not finishing???



How about "Most likely to bin".
We have some who fall into this category and would be wise to heed the words of others. It would be good to see voting on this...!

[The Lone Rider]

Edited and added one more

Shiner: Someone who's bike experience comes more from a polishing cloth in hand, rather than grips and clutch in hand. Not that there is anything wrong with having a well presented bike, but he or she could do with more on the bike experience. A shiner could quite possibly be someone who has a bike for the sole purpose of saying they have one.

De-Baffler: A de-baffler has one sole purpose: To be loud and let everyone knows it's them. This not only applies to their bike, but their online personality. A de-baffler could quite likely be a good person at heart, but the ease at which a loud bike and out front online persona draws attention to themselves is too tempting.

[James Deuce]

Preposterone: Teenage Biker who claims a Honda VTR1000 can do 260 km/hr two up and his mate's Dad once wheelied a Slab Sider GSXR1100 over the Rimutakas at 100 km/hr without ever slowing down for any corners. Will spit the dummy and use the Internet as "proof" of his claims despite seasoned hands pointing out that a well fettled VTR1000 will do 260 one up - provided the "one" isn't Fatjim - and said VTR has a stiff tail wind. Is loud mouthed and full of muscle bound challenges in print. In real life isn't old enough to get into a bar with a TCWNR crowd, turns up a good 10 minutes after the bulk of the riders have arrived and settled into a pub meal, and spends the entire time at the pub nursing a Coke on a picnic table outside and not talking to anyone. Should really see someone about that acne.

Someone piss you off on TCWNR last week bro?

[James Deuce]

Nope. I have a longer memory than that.

[ManDownUnder]

Dover - owner of a new, top of the line bike with an almost magnetic attraction to hard objects located well off the road, often only found over a culvert, through a solid hedgerow and post and batten fence.

[Mental Trousers]

That ones a keeper. Just need to find someone who can fiddle the coloured pixels until they resemble icons now ...

[Cajun]

Trashed Rubber - is rough around the edges and appears overly worn. This person is constantly on a heat cycle and has obviously been round the track one too many times.

[Morcs]

what about:
Honda Homo?
Cowpoos wannabe?
Head mod basher?

:2guns::clap:

[Toaster]

Good bastard Just a damn good kiwi bloke/babe that is fantastic to be around, positive and supportive.

Twat Annoying little twat - pure and simple brainless dribbly little moron you'd love to hold down and fart on his head.

Pimple Irritating little pest with a swollen head full of good for nothing puss.... who also needs to be held down and farted on.

Fireman Constantly trying to put out fires by watering down arguments and trying to cool things down when it gets heated.

Referee Always blowing his whistle telling offsiders to sort their shit out and penalising foul play with red rep or sin bins etc.

Slapper Needs no explanation - the chick who spends all her time teasing boys and goodness knows what else.

Coffee table humper Rides a 600cc sports bike and thinks its just the best bike anyone could own.

Anticop Spends all his time spitting insults and bullshit about the police because he was dumb enough to get a few too many speeding tickets which was everyone elses fault bar his own of course.

[Cajun]

Cruise Control - is a dark hose who never brags about his riding abilities. He is smooth, completely in control of his machine, and can ride like Hell! Cruise Control's namesake is gained by maintaining the same position on the bike irrespective of whether he's on a straight, in tight twises, doing 100kph, or even 200kph! <--- Blackbird2

Side stand - is there to support every rider to prevent them falling down, and unfortunately, Side Stand has been seen to be kicked for their efforts.

Race stand - Otherwise known as "God", Race Stand hoists him or herself onto a pedastal to preach to the masses and draw attention to his or her own importance.

Leaky hose - Wallet is continuously leaking funds and spends ludicrious amounts of money to impress others. One can never have too many bikes or too much bling, and this extends from the bike to the gear to the house.

Bottomed Out - A rather large biker whose bike cannot be identified under the rider's oversized bottom.

[Mental Trousers]

Got some fairly decent ones to work with now. Just need someone to do the graphics for them ...

[vifferman]

Scrap the Flame Warriors thing - it's crap.
It's bollocks.
It's pointless and silly.
:mad:




Hang on - wait a minute....

:shit:

I just realised - it's perfect for KiwiBiker and for KiwiBikers. <_<

It's crap, it's bollocks, it's both pointless and silly! :woohoo:


But I shall ignore it, as I have steadfastedly done from the beginning.

No, not "From the Beginning" by ELP - from the beginning of when it was incepted on here.

Hey, easy on us sycophants - IdleIdolIdyll nominated ME for Site Sycophant, he must be a Good Bastard 'cos he was the only one that nominated me for that award!!

Yup! But more of a Silent Achiever than a dark hose. :whistle:

[Joni]

I like the cruise control one.... I would vote for Diesel Pig (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=967)for that one! :niceone:

However i actually do agree with a few that say that its just another thing people are going to abuse! :rolleyes:

[The Lone Rider]

I would also question some of it's usuability as some of the new descriptions seem more based on how the person rides (which would mean you know them or have met or ridden with them) whereas this is a website and for the most part all the descriptions relate to a users personality on this website.

There could be a dream rider that does this or that, or is dumb this way or that way with his bike, but on here he or she might be an outright cock or shining princess (or any other weird combination of traits)

An Outright Shining Cock Princess?? That's a bit too personal.

To be useful they have to be aimed at as broad a spread of people as possible, otherwise they're a 1 horse race and therefore pointless.

Still need someone to do the graphics though :(

No, I was saying new descriptions should perhaps relate to their online selves, not how you know them personally.

Flame warrior, which by definition is an online thing, ones riding ability shouldn't have a FW description/title to be nominated on. Ones like Burt Munro - fair enough as there could be people on here very helpful to everyone in solving problems with their bike. But something where the FW description and title consists of something about flying around corners or having a loud bike, that isn't really anything to do with kiwibiker or how they are like on here.
