Alternate Realities and Alter Egos
Howdy folks,
More than a year and a half after joining TV.com I'm making my first blog post. Actualy, I first signed up with tvtome a few years ago, but I never followed up with my membership... too many other things to do. Since TV.com bought out tvtome (long back), I'm not quite sure where/when exactly my membership originated... anyway, to the subject of this post...
Usually I'm a pretty agreeable guy, but sometimes I find myself wanting to b!tchslap some people who post to the various forums I enjoy participating in. Whether the offense is POSTING IN ALL CAPS, being generaly stupid, reviving dead threads, posting inaccuracies, etc... sometimes I feal compeled to call the offending poster out on the carpet for the offense. The flip side of this is that I have pathological fear of being disliked, and sometimes the poster who needs to be b!tchslapped is someone I usually like/respect. To that end I have created several Alter Egos here at TV.com (and other sites) that I occasionaly employ to "do the dirty work" for me.
Recently the idea has occured to me to "flush out" one of my alter egos, kind of as an alternate reality version of... Me, (Bender)! [stupid side joke for the other Futurama fans out there]. I've never really been interested in levels and editorships and the other minutia involved in being a member of TV.com, but a funny idea (to me anyway) struck me... what if one of my alter egos were to become an editor? It wouldn't really matter what show or which person... just the fact that an alter ego would be one of the TV.com elite would give me a chuckle.
So, with all of the above in mind (if you bothered to read it... and it doesn't really matter if you did) what are your suggestions for ramping up points/levels to the point of editorship? Should I choose a minor player in a show I enjoy and just flood that person's page with submissions? Should I look for a show that I watch that is "behind the times" as far as episode submission? Is there something else I should target?
Thanks for reading this. Your comments will be appreciated. This is likely my last blog post, but it was fun while it lasted.
P.S. If you think you know who my alter egos are, PM me! I promise I'll let you know if you're right.
