Sooo.. is I Write Like the new Akinator? It's the internet program everyone seems to be spending loads of time on.
Dang, what's the other one? There were two programs, Akinator and something else that were all the rage a couple months ago.Last edited by Starfols; 2010-07-16 at 04:20 PM.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Okay, so one of the BBC news headlines was "Venezuala rejects Bogota charges". I misread it at first as "Vuvuzela rejects Bogota charges".
Curse you, Football World Cup. Even when you were over and I thought I was safe. CURSE YOU.BANG → !

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
I submitted the best text I've written in English that's not stored soley on my school computer - a joke article about dirty diapres - and I got David Foster Wallace too. Sadly (in this case), my best serious texts are in Swedish, so I can't test them.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
I submitted three Swedish texts - a debate article, an essay about religion and politics () and a chronicle - and they all gave me the answer that I write like David Foster Wallace. WTF!?
EDIT: Okay, I found another chronicle written in English, which I ran through that site. Guess what I got: Dan Brown. I haven't read more than a few paragraphs in one of his books, so I guess I'll leave it up to you to tell me how insulted I should feel.
EDIT2: For the hell of it, I submitted the longest English story I have on my hard drive, despite it's dubious quality, and got Arthur C. Clarke.
Hmm... I've got a feeling that I should know who he is, but apparently I don't. I'll probably hit myself when I find out. Wikipedia...

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Well, I guess that no one really puts that much interest into the result from a random web page. I didn't, that's for sure. I guess the creators only made it for entertainment purposes.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
More likely someone inserted a Neil Gaiman excerpt.
Inserting the opening from Great Expectations gets you Jane Austin.

So yesterday I thought I would finally finish my puzzle. Well I guess not, one piece is missing. Thank you cats for apparently playing with my puzzle.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Any text in English will do: your latest blog post, journal entry, comment, chapter of your unfinished book, etc. For reliable results paste at least a few paragraphs (not tweets).
If it hadn't compared me to Douglas Adams, I'd be very cross right now.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
You have been awarded additional time.
I'm kind of curious, now. I doubt this thing has any actual credibility, but it seems as good an opportunity as any to waste five or six minutes.
EDIT: Hm, somewhat more plausible than I'd expected. Mostly lows, moderates in a few categories. I'm not sure some of those questions were quite right, but otherwise a fairly reasonable analysis.Last edited by Rutskarn; 2010-07-17 at 02:55 AM.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Paranoid: High
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: High
Not so sure on the narcissistic (Low self esteem? Yep!), and ahven't looked up the meanings for all the others... I think it's being too high for me on some of those. Mostly because I often clicked "Yes" when I would rather have clicked "Sometimes"
Though if all this is true, I beat you Zero.Last edited by Castaras; 2010-07-17 at 03:28 AM.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Pfft. If we make allowances like that then my antisociality should be Very High. Which puts me on top!

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Though more seriously, I call bollocks on my results. Especially the Narcissistic and Histrionic. I don't try and call attention to myself that much, and my low self esteem does not mean I love myself.
So either way you would have won."I'm just going on motive and opportunity here and the fact that if the earth got swallowed by a black hole, I'd look suspiciously in your direction first."

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Just took it again, as those results are from a while back when I first found the site, and got low antisociality.
What is this. What do I need to do to convince it that I don't like people!
The rest of the results were the same though. Showing there is at least repeatability in this experiment.
Regardless, I will not so easily give up my self-appointed position of craziest person around.Last edited by Player_Zero; 2010-07-17 at 03:40 AM.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
Very different sides of some people show up.
Others, act exactly the same.
Is curio, to be sure.
......Why does my wet hair smell like wet dog? I washed my hair at noon today hmm... NO, it's not my bangs, just smelled those. Where's it coming from then? Flashed briefly in the car too. Strange.

Re: Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)
You act differently on the internet that real life? That's wack, yo.
Certainly mannerisms change. For instance, I can't remember ever saying 'wack, yo' in real life, but intent must surely be the same. Otherwise it'd be some freaky-deeky split personality right there. A false life! A doppelganger of sorts. Wearing another skin to deceive those around you just as a buttefly's monsterous eyes!

Schizotypal: High

Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Low
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate
That actually is much more like I see myself as. Possibly without the high dependent, maybe moderate.
Coidzor: Phantom dog?
Zero: I suppose I have more confidence on the forums due to being able to think about what I'm going to say. So more confidence means more insanity. TBH, how I am on the forums is more who I think of myself as."I'm just going on motive and opportunity here and the fact that if the earth got swallowed by a black hole, I'd look suspiciously in your direction first."
