Analysis of the three dominant types of individual using IRC
|
|
|
|
Type A: The projector
|
|
|
|
The projector is a very common type of IRC user, he can be found predominantly on the well
|
|
established and older IRC networks (e.g. EFnet (including all the co-dependant sub-networks of circle-jerk
|
|
eltisim (e.g. ircII)). It is fairly easy to actually identify an IRC user (thereafter to be referred to as
|
|
ircer, luser, user, et al.), as they project the rules and parameters of their everyday real-life onto IRC
|
|
and aspire to create a haven of well-mannered communicative `staying in touch with your friends'. To put this
|
|
brief and simple: the users whom I refer to as `projectors' will appear to be slightly more emotional than your
|
|
average ircer and will just talk and act like they would in their real lives (with the exception of those individuals
|
|
amongst the projectors who actually do not have such a thing as a real life).
|
|
|
|
Fictional example of two projectors interacting:
|
|
|
|
<LillyOnTheNet> god I hate this boy so much; sometimes I really wish he would die from AIDS
|
|
<Peter23> please do not speak like that. I had a friend who died from AIDS and it makes me sad to see people
|
|
abusing the stigmatism and the usual guaranteed mortality associated with this sickness so carelessly
|
|
<LillyOnTheNet> oh I am sorry petey ;) I didn't know that. I won't do it again.
|
|
|
|
Type A.II: The projector attention-whore
|
|
|
|
Since this type of IRCer does not provide enough difference to the projector as it is, it is not substantial enough
|
|
to be eligible to receive their own classification. If my research however shall bring forward a greater distinctiveness
|
|
as assumed, this may or may not change.
|
|
|
|
The P. attention whore is usually female and does not fit into any kind of `norm physical appearance' (meaning:
|
|
they may or may not be hot - however will always act as if they are the most delicious eye-candy to have ever set
|
|
foot on this planet). She does show the same kind of attitude in reallife however has lost a considerably large
|
|
amount of friends as an immediate cause of that. Hence she is trying to get her needs for attention catered to
|
|
from a proverbial legion of mindless losers that would do anything for her, struggling for her recognition
|
|
with a latent hope of `tapping that'.
|
|
|
|
Fictional example of an attention-whore and her minions interacting:
|
|
|
|
<candice> omg like im so sad
|
|
<gr1d> why are you sad sexy sweet little applepie? tell me!
|
|
<candice> omg like fuck off like i dont even care about you
|
|
<gr1d> *rawr* being a kitty with claws today? <3
|
|
|
|
Type A.III: The projector pseudo-authorative jerk
|
|
|
|
Same as above. This is just a sub-type of the projector.
|
|
|
|
The pseudo-authorative jerk will always act like he thinks of himself as the boss. Usually he will only
|
|
talk to other pseudo-authorative jerks.
|
|
|
|
Fictional example of two pseudo-authorative `old school IRCers' (i.e. projecters) and some autists (see below).
|
|
|
|
<m0par> hey everyone ;)
|
|
<rap0m> hey m0pey ;) how was your meeting today?
|
|
<alfonzo-chan> PooooooOooOOoOoOOooooOooOOoOoOOooooOooOOoOoOOooooOooOOoOoOOooooOooOOoOoOOooooOooOOoOoOOooooOooOOoOoOOooooOooOOoOoOOo
|
|
<infid3l> *emo**cut**emo**cut**emo**cut**emo**cut**emo**cut**emo**cut**emo**cut*
|
|
<m0par> huh? the kids up late today? ;)
|
|
<rap0m> seems so ;)
|
|
m0par sets mode: +m to #LateNightTalkOnIRC
|
|
<m0par> there seems to be solved ;)
|
|
<rap0m> so anyway, what were we talking about?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common fashion of communication utilized: blatant, boring blogging
|
|
|
|
Type B: The autist
|
|
|
|
The autist is a crass opposite of the projector. He will not engage in social activity whatsoever (this might bel
|
|
caused by a complete absence of social skills / experiencing in interacting with other human beings of any kind).
|
|
Usually, |
