A few Notes before I begin:
This is, of course, my view on things. Everything may not be correct, but it is what I see in others, and about our board, the great Spork.
And well, I couldnt write this on my own, every Sporkian is in it, and has helped Spork develop, so basically, I give credit to us all.
Spork Basics:
Well Spork is our home board. The Sporkians have quite a bit of things going on usually. We, at times, have factions, dueling, and wars. Of course, as time goes by, more and more people come and join us, so Spork is constantly developing into more and more.
This section is basically for what we do on Spork, and how things are done.
Dueling:
The dueling on Spork is a type of RP duel. Dueling is part of Sporks heritage, and should be treated as such. Dueling can be for fun, it can be for respect, and it can be just for the challenge. At times, people have fights, and they duel as well. Recently, there has been a Dueling tourney going on at Spork. For ideas as to how these work, you should go look at some of them.
Almost everyone on Spork Duels. All of the frequent posters do, but that does not mean they are ready, and willing to show off that they can. If there was to ever be another war, then all of them would most likely stand up for thei board, and fight.
Some of the more well known duelers are:
L Dan. He also goes by IB, and used to go by CoE.
Blitz Ace the Fourth
DarkBowser
Squall, used to be known as Claude
Hive Members
And the newer duelers at Spork (AKA those pitiful ones who appeared out of nowhere and forced themselves into Spork):
The Mighty/Good Aeneas
Heero
Our belief system:
Our Sporkian Heritage also says that we worship the Spork. The Spork is our father, and we must believe in him. We follow his will, and are loyal with all of our hearts.
Furb and Ecoraven are our popes.
Factions:
Well, at one point, factions was all Spork was. Some say that that was the lowest time there was for Spork, others say it was a time for utter and complete revival. It all depends on who you talk to.
The Sporkians usually only like factions of their own, and factions that they are used to. There are usually only 3 such factions. Quite the contradiction, really. At one point we were Anti-faction, and then ASS/DOG comes rising back up...it was really quite odd.
ASS (the All Spork Society), Created by The Creation of Evil (and all other accounts)
DOG (The Dictation of GameFAQs) Run by Blitz Ace
MUG (The Mercenary Unit of GameFAQs) Run by Arisna
Note: Mostly all those factions are disbanded or dead now. Those were there a while back, and now have just simply ceased to exist. Everyone always tries to revive ASS, but each effort has ended pitifully. All of the others have been far less then active of late, and have most likely died off.
A new faction, The Hive, has been invading Spork of late. I will not get into them though, because this is a SPORKIAN FAQ, not a LTUian FAQ.
Sporkians:
This is a list of Sporkians, and some of their personalities. Remeber, this is what I see. I can not read someones mind, and say how they are.
Ant P/Claude100:
Ant P is rather talkitive. Maybe not on the boards, but on AIM. He spends some time in the YSB Chat with me, and no matter how much he says he hates it, I STILL think he likes it. He goes to the Clone boards, and is like me as bad as me AIM usernames. He likes computers, and always used to complain to me about how no one talked to him. (I'll bet it isnt like that now). Quite a bit more extroverted then before. He hates Warlink, and yearns to humiliate him. Leader of CC, and one of the ASS's.Sometimes a Dueler.
Blitz Ace:
At times, he has personal problems that lead to his lack of posting. He is the leader of the Sporkian faction, DOG. He seems to always have the good of the board in mind, and really decided he didnt like me when I declared myself queen of Spork. He demanded we duel for my regency/leadership. He is a bit brash, and can be cold to those he doesnt know. Dueler.
Arisna:
Arisna is the leader of the Sporkian faction MUG. And in his own words: "contrary to popular belief, I AM male". He ususally stays out of normal posting, but does post when needed. He normally doesnt duel, but does acompletely support other factions threoughout Spork if they ever go to war.
Dragon:
Dragon is the Sporkians Dueling judge. From others (I usually don't have time to read Duels, or reviews of them) , I have heard he is a very fair judge, and does things very well. With the Dragon accounts, he doesnt post a whole lot, other then judging topics.
L Dan:
He is the creater of the faction, ASS. He has not been posting a lot, but he is a dueler, and supports Spork in his own ways. His topics usually revolve around making Spork a better place. He is like me (or rather, how I used to be) with GameFAQs accounts. The original Jaded Blade. Dueler.
Cyril:
Me. I am the only "main" female poster on Spork. That I know of, at least. I was once a member of TPA, and am probably now considered a traitor to PIE. I dont exactly have the best reputation...But well, I really dont care. What to say about myself...Umm I like control...And at one point, I was Queen of 4 Secret boards. I am quite brash, and usually the rebel. But I DO look for the good of Spork. Ummm I was IP banned from GameFAQs for a while, and am no at the mercy of Ceej. I got addicted to banning accounts. 40+ accounts...down the drain.
EX Husband List: Warlink, CoE
People think I am a crazy bitch because I like to start wars. Not too many people respect me.
Attempted Husband List: Sun Tzu
Current Husband: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHbr>
Furb:
Pope Furb...He is quite...er not sane. He is a meanie who TOTALLY ruined my wedding with Sun! He calls himself a POPE! ..Alright enough Rant. Usually, he is a bit saner then the rest of us. He doesnt post a whole lot, but when he does, he has some good ideas.
Eccoraven:
He doesnt post much at all. Another Pope. He has been gone for a long time, and finally came back.
JonnyBoyFF:
Well...He doesnt like me, for one. He was a frequent poster, he doesnt come to Spork too much recently. I saw him a lot on LUE though, before I was banned. HE is probably the sanest of those among us, for what reason, I have no idea.
Daeightofspades:
Some consider him scary. Me, I dont. I knew a bit before I went to Spork, but not too well. He has a tendency to use more foul language then even I do (too much WF). Quite critical of people. Again, doesnt post a whole lot.
Aeneas:
Actually, playful, it seems. Serious and playful. Not a bad combination if I do say so myself. He duels for Spork. A rather new person, who appeared out of no where. People call him "Power Hungry". What they dont seem to realize is that its the INTERNET...*sigh*
Dark Bowser:
Most people consider him very mysterious, and he doesnt post a whole lot. He refuses to tell people of himself, and likes taunting. He is the second in command of DOG.
Heero:
Sporks determined loner came from no where just like a few of the other newer posters. He says he will save Spork by himself, no matter what. He doesnt like me because I declared war on ASS. He duels for good and rightousness, at least what is good in his beliefs. Dueler.
PIE Members on Spork:
Most members of The PIE Army have left Spork. Sadly.
Sporkian Ideals:
Sporkians are always dead serious for some really wierd reason. We really dont like anything that doesnt have to do with the way the board is run. And we almost ALWAYS hate worthless play topics. Usually, we just ignore them and go about our own way.
Usually, we are quite cold to Newbies. It takes a while to get to know us, and get into our little "groups" here. It takes a lot to become known, or you have to have a representative from among the others. Or just do something totally and completely brash and people will learn who you are fast.
Lately, Spork has become somewhat like LTU. If you have ever been there, then you know this is scary. Spork separates newbies and Vets, into basically different worlds. A few of us that are not happy with what is going on are rebelling. Myself included.
This of course, has been influenced by the Hive. Silly boys and their silly games. Flowerpot seems to follow me everywhere damnit! Even the chats...I think I have a new stalker. ;)
This is the Rough draft of the Sporkian FAQ. Any ideas, are welcome, and necissary for it's completion.
