That isnt footers himself i think. I guess he has archived all of toadys posts and interviews somewhere and uses a script the filter the info. Also he knews "search-ki-do" (much better then search-fu) for the suggestion forums.  Anyway he does a great job - but i was wondering if he has a job actually.

here I thought it was the mesmerizing effect from the old nodding helmetman.

[Christes]

I still miss his old avatar.

[Genoraven]

Me too.

how exactly did footkerchief gain such power and influence on this forum?

Out of awesome, and possible because the community think Footkercheif is seen as a mod.

Foolish boy! There is no good or evil, only Power, and those too weak to seek it.

Voldemort says footkerchief claimed the Power because you did not, and he holds it because you are too weak to take it from him. Voldemort says you should destroy him and claim his Power as your own.



It's entirely possible Voldemort was megalomaniacally insane, however. You should think carefully before accepting his advice.

^ This, and also that Footkerchief is the living embodiment of the forum's search function. I can't find the quote, but someone once said that he only waits for you to type and click "Search" before returning results out of courtesy.

Ahhh... So a realistic warhammer-esque weapon (piercing tip and blunt end) would just be a different rapier... i wonder how we can fix that...

Adding a hundred identical blunt attacks should do the trick, although that approach is a little, well, blunt.

Depends. It's entirely possible that it decides whether to use a blunt or edged attack before it decides upon the specific attack.

that's what i was thinking, then i saw it came from footkerchief and realized that unless toady says otherwise footkerchief is right.

It was just an assumption on my part.  I don't have any evidence or authority on the matter.

[jamoecw]

except for the fact that the only times i can remember you being wrong is when toady or someone with actual evidence contradicts you.  pretty much any time anyone challenges you you bring out a quote from 6+ months ago showing you are right, or toady comes along and confirms your rightness.  your success has locked in your fate, you are the messenger, even if you no longer wish to speak.

We can only presume he has [POWER] in him somewhere.

We can only presume he has [POWER] in him somewhere.

He has [SPHERE:TRUTH] and [SPHERE:RUMOR] as well.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Is Footkerchief a forgotten beast, a demon or a deity? He seems to actually do something, so he probably isn't a deity (in the current version at least). That leaves forgotten beast and demon with [POWER]. Since Footkerchief's avatar seems to change every now and then, I think he's probably a forgotten beast. Hopefully he is currently a mutant fluffy wambler with skin made of pitchblende.

I wonder if we can test him for tags ... i guess [NOBLEED] and [NOPAIN] would be easy, similary for [NOBREATHE] and similar obvious tests, but how would we test him for [MAXAGE] or [PET_EXOTIC]?

That was me, but I have no idea what page it's on either... dare we ask Footkerchief to find it for us? :P

[dorf]

Some say that he came bundled with the forum...
and that he possesses the knowledge of the Internet..

All we know is... he's called The Footkerchief.

Its very dangerous as we don't have a [NO_BAN] tag...
