Who Am I?
 

The point of this thread is to guess the Dwellar just from the posting style.

Some people may want to leave dirty great big clues in the text, but I think it's more fun just done on style and content.

I thought up this fun game when a popular Dwellar changed names. When I found out who it was I was shocked that I hadn't guessed before. But then another Dwellar asked me to let them in on the sewcret, so I didn't feel as stupid.

So. Guess who I am.

I will nominate the person with the best response via PM, and they will lay down their own message for you to guess. Note - best not necessarily the first correct answer. Or you'd all know who they were!

Sundae

PiltHijinx or however he spells it.

Ain't me cuz I really think the anony is a bad idea.

Wait, you know that just means we don't know who the author is, right? Androgynous is something totally different.

I needs a dictionary.

More style and content please.

Jim nailed it, I think, although there are usually a few more slight Britisms in her posts....

but "dirty great" isn't heard here much.

I totally thougt it was Sundae too, even before I read Jim's guess.

Are you implying I needed Jim's hint? :lol: It does have Sundae written all over it, but maybe that was the OP's intent to mislead.... :lol:

I thought it was Monster bec of dirty big. If the person had been gutted I would have guessed Sundae. But who knows?

'Dirty great' ;p

Dirty big sounds like a rapper

It's me...this is how I decided to stage my comeback.

(Not really)

you should stage a comeback, though....

What, like some Charlie Sheen shit? I could do a tour or something...

The Cellar is a revolving door...people go away on vacation or whatever and come back. I don't know why I've been gone for so long...not that I don't love the place, of course. Life's been busy...anyway...hey peeps!

*waiting for you fuckers to scream my name a la Norm from Cheers*

You jump right back in the pool and before you know it, the water's fine.

Damn. Jim got it immediately.
Am I really so transparent?
Was it the spelling mistake Monster? :)

SYCAMORE!
Welcome back.

I realized after I posted my guess that you, Jim, and I were the only registered users online so that was probably a pretty big give away.

Thank you dear. :)

so... uh...now it's my turn to post as anon and people should guess who i am?


right... now, sir lancelot, galahad and I jump OUT of the Trojan Rabbit, catching them unawares.....


I suppose someone else ought to go, So since I won, I get to pick who....

I'll send that person a PM and they will post as anon. Or I'll kick they ass.

this is how it can work. when someone guesses right, anon comes clean and the winner secretly nominates the next player. naturally, the former winner is excluded from the subsequent round.

sounds good.

All the world's a stage and Sycamore is one of the Cellar's best players. :thumb:

Should I have to pay my spouse for a lap dance, or is that part of a standard marriage contract?

*bows*

Zip?

Today, I have been obsessing over Chad VanGaalen. There is a story that precludes this little obsession and this is how it goes. On April 1st, one of my friends sent me a text. He said, ”psst, I just saw VanGaalen live in a church.”
I was wondering if it was a joke but he mentioned Willow Tree. This friend usually has good musical suggestions, so I went to YouTube to give Gaalen a listen. I listened to, “Willow Tree” and “Molten Light” but I cannot stand the songs with their bizarre death fantasies wrapped in sickly sweet melodies.


This negative reaction confuses me. I don’t know why the songs leave me feeling like I’ve been punched in the stomach. I reassure myself by remembering all of the darker lyrical bands I do like, such as, A.P.C, A.I.C. Opeth. The difference is that their darkest lyrics contain something I find relatable and touchable. I cannot relate to VanGaleen. To me, VanGaalen’s haunting lyrics, his strange semi-Neil sounding voice leave me feeling just like the corpses and dead people of Gaalen’s lyrics.


Today, I go searching the net. I am slightly bent and I am looking for dirt. I admit. I have no shame. I find no dirt, excluding his ability to be a hermit and the obvious fruit of his labor. Instead of dirt I read how everyone thinks VanGaalen sounds like Neil Young, or how he’s so new indie pop, old sub-pop or old lofi. People can’t make up their mind what he is but the people say he is wonderful! I am wondering if I am the only one on the planet that does not appreciate what assails my ears? The melodies make it palatable, and people eat it up. I throw up.


This is the funny part. This is how our texting conversation ended. Remember it was April 1st when I received the text? After listing to the songs on YouTube, I am thinking that this might have been an April fool’s joke. I don’t know if it ‘s worse not to get a joke or insult someone’s taste in music.I scroll to the beginning of our conversation and read the first text to me. Again I read, “Psst, I just saw Chad VanGaalen live in church”


Oh, April 1st eh? I’m thinking, This has to be an April fool’s joke! Did I not just listen to a plethora of songs about death and dead people? Yeah, so I text this,” If, I just saw Chad VanGaalen live in church isn’t the best April Fool’s joke ever, I’m sorry” badaboom
It wasn’t a joke. The church is a building for events. I guess when churches go vacant in Canada the canuckle- heads acquisition them. He did really go see him. How was I to know that? The friend laughed at the joke and went on his merry way.


I was not merry. I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth. Listening to VanGaalen is like sucking on something sour.
Some of you may take issue with this opinion too. It is only an opinion. It is mine and you can have yours. If you like VanGaalen’s music, that is just fine but you must concede this one little point, and that is Chad VanGaalen is one strange dude.


I am glad I had anonymous to play with but it isn’t going to happen again.


Who am I?

Sycamore or Flint... I say Sycamore.

No, I am neither.

I don't know Sycamore's writing style yet but I am sure Flint can write circles around me.

In fact, I am sure Flint will think you have insulted him but I think it's a hoot!

Sorry...not me.

Fair enough. Good to see you around these parts anyway Syc

It's the Toad!

I thought that, but then there's that comment about 'not knowing Flints posting style' that well, or somesuch...

Must admit as I got about halfway through the two names that sprung to mind were Flint and Toad.

it's either foot or griff.

Not me. I still can't write that much and I don't usually employ the thre word sentence as emphasis gambit.
I also don't know the musician in question. The style seems self conscious. I'd guess Bri.

it's Zen??

Bluecuracao?

Griff, then.

casi

I am not Toad, Flint, or Griff, Blu, Zen or Casi.

After I logged out last night, after my Kabotan post, there are three more anon posts by someone other than ME, who seems to have maybe tried to give you all a hint with a simpleton posting style. Thanks a lot. I know who you are. I poke you with a stick.

The clue. Sycamore has been here 10 years and Flint 6, yet I know Flint’s posting style better and I am sure he will not be amused, you are guessing me as him.

Come on people. I have math to do.

...and can this password be changed? I don't want to go away and have someone mucking up the waters.

Maybe I should just say who I am?

I guessed griff just because I remember him saying, pretty much in passing, that he thought 'anon' was a bad idea.

I love the idea. I was, in fact, conjuring a short story that I thought of maybe posting as anon. It's great for personal issues. It's great for the "Who Am I?" game, which is probably ruined now due to trolling. If it's being used to, as you say, muddy the waters...or to agree with one's self over an issue... or to have an opinion on an issue that you need anonymity for solely because you don't have a balls to post your opinion on your own, that's another matter.

:2cents:

Oh I have the balls. This is a game thread. I was chosen to use it. It is the function of the game to use anon. When making the post it wasn't to hide, it was to show style and content. Your assumption is ridiculous.

Also, when I said, 'muddy the waters' it was because someone other than me posted after I had logged out last night.

See, wtf?

I SAID it was good for the game. "It is the function of the game..."? No shit, sherlock. Is it also the function of the game to wander around the cellar agreeing with yourself or saying hello as anon, or any other inane activity you can come up with?

When did this become a big old argument? When troll anon started in, not the part of the game ANON but Troll Anon, who could be anyone but I certainly have my suspicion as to who that is.

Crawl up out of my ass. I have no special powers for you to cling to, but you can lick some polyps off while you're up there.

So, my guess is easy. It's TheMercenary, through and through.

ding ding ding

it's classicman.

or tw.

tw would say "Your assumption is ridiculous,"

I am not The Mercenary, only feeling like a Mercenary.

I am not classicman, or tw.

I actually would have thought tw would have been one of the first choices. I would have guessed him too.

This just goes to show, you just never know, who you think you know, on the internet.

^^^ The last sentence is so typical me style posting.

I am also a female.

sky!

finally! We have a winner! I am so happy! I am smiling a huge smile. I can go do my math. That shouldn't actually make me smile, but whatever.

Now I get to choose who will be next.

Thanks Jim for choosing me. It was fun, tiring and weird. I have not used a sock puppet for years.
You're the best.

no no.... infinite monkey gets to choose!

oooh okay

I'll send her the pass

Yay.

Lemme think.

I've asked someone. I assume they'll post if they accept and if they reject I'll ask someone else.

so, if you're changing the password to something other than what it was ( ask me via pm for this ) for the duration of your round, pls change it back before you pass the baton.

done

That's a good idea. P-word stays the same, the Who Am I person can change it so there aren't some sneaky shenanigans messing up the game, then the Who Am I person changes it back to the original p-word once he/she is recognized? Is that right?

that's what I was thinking

You're a wunderkind when it comes to sensible game rules, you are. ;)

Yes, although I think someone was trying to help with clues about who I am. Maybe not, but either way it wasn't with bad intent.

How to make a good impression of skysidhe. I say awesome a lot. I use the words, so, just,sure, like, ookay, nice, a lot and such. Something is 'able, like laughable, singable. I like to all cap one word to show emphasis. I like 'this' punctuation mark and I most defiantly can give tw a run for his money.

I use cliche's a lot too. See, I how much I trust you all.

Thank you again Jim. It's been a trip.

I'd have never gotten it...good job

I couldn't think of anything else to talk about, except talk about financial accounting math.
I am not very good at small talk, so hence my shorter usual posts. I didn't intend to deceive. I thought people would get it right away.

I had forgotten I come across as male at first. Maybe I should have talked about my flower and hummingbird garden.
