How Do You Become A Celebrity On EoFF?

[Jack]

This got me thinking.

Who or What is a celebrity here at EoFF? Importntly, WHY are they a celebrity? In today's modern age where a celebrity is someone who appeared on a TV once, what makes a celebrity on this site? Do they have to be in your face, or only appears once in a while to make a impression to you? Is the familiarity of their posts or their randomness that makes them more famous to you?

Is it a gimmick (The split personality thing comes to mind...)?
A personality?
Spamming?

I now pose this question to you, people of EoFF? Who is a celebrity here IYO and (importantly) why?
Secondly, could anyone become one if they changed their posting habits to something more "popular"?

It's usually any of these:

* The longevity of the member.
* A gimmick.
* Being infamous for being dumb.
* Being a funny and crazy person for long enough.
* Having something about you that just clicks.

Though of course, they'd need personality along with it.

I'd say Psychotic would be one of those funny crazy EoFF celebrities, plus he's a nice guy who's very friendly to people. Meat Puppet would also be one of those guys. I can't think of any with a gimmick that I'm willing to point out personally. Cloud No. 9 is the type of EoFF celebrity that's infamous for being dumb. We love to hate him. There are too many people to list for the longevity thing.

But none of that works unless you have a good/interesting personality, like I said.

And I think you could, but unless it was a gradual change, as in a person growing up and becoming more mature, it comes off as fake and it's unappreciated.

Basically Bladen.

[Spatvark]

That or performing indecent sex acts upon the staff. Guess which I did.

[Madame Adequate]

Being able to annoy people without getting banned helps. Look at Wesley. Everyone knows and loves him!

Being the center of dramah works as well.

xD

You might want to reword the "without getting banned" portion, MILFy, considering I've been EoEO banned three times.

On-topic: I think the easiest way is to be able to joke around on a wider scale. Bleys was famous for this. Lynx and I do it pretty often with campaigns and such (along with other pranks, such as turning the Squeenix forum into just Xenogears threads).

Also, it helps to be well-known and intensely disliked by the staff. How many people know my name just because of April Fools of '05?

[smittenkitten]

Proberly be Crazy/Sane person both atthe same time. Striptease to all the Staff and make love to Loony BoB, Have a certain saying everyone know's from you, but basically be a lesbein farmer, Em0/Pilot, make your own gunblade of plastic spoons, ffmad junkie who thinks he is a monkey.

(If that made no sense don't worry I don't know either)

I would agree mostly with the bolded, italic-ed, and underlined statement. This is probably one of the more important statures. Also, helping with the frontpage (site Staff), or becoming a CK will definitely make you more seen around the forums. If you do things the PiP way, you'll definitely become well known. Unfortunately, the last time someone tried that, he was BALETED.

An alternative method would be to do Sigs and Avatars for everyone, or having some sort of gimmick, as Rye said. Rye and ff7+ff10gurl are the most well known, especially since they do not only the most work, but some of the best quality work, at least, digitally/on the computer. Or you can delude yourself, and act high and mighty, while not actually being high and mighty, and yell at people for 6 pages while being completely correct the entire time. Like me. Of course, I'm not a celebrity. I'm just sadistic.

If you can't get total and complete domination of the forum, then try for one of the smaller forums, or a part of one. Ehh, that didn't make sense. If you're really good at FFX, e.g., then post alot at the FFX sections. Helping people and being a reliable and knowledgeable source of information will definitely get you to be one of the more well known members, if only in that forum. But the problem is versatility, in such that case. If you do more, there's more of a chance you'll mess up, but at least you know more, and you can help out once in a while. If you become a help consult in the sections, then have a strategy guide to back you up, it'll help, and you won't have to use your memory all that often, since, you open a book, and say "do this", with your own personal twist.
Note: the strategy guide option/assistance will NOT work for FFIX.

Comedy and craziness is also a good idea, as previously stated. No need to elaborate further.

[Nick Schovitz]

Yeah Craziness or strictness, that's what it is?

[Psychotic]

I'm telling you guys, the key is walruses.

[Rengori]

Spamming, being funny. Or making kickass sigs.

[Dolentrean]

psht... ... nuff said.

[Madame Adequate]

That's true Wes, you've been banned from there, but not forum-banned

[Madonna]

There are no celebrities on EoFF, kids.

[DeathKnight]

Sucking up to RSL
