How do YOU talk? SexehKate
I'm sorry for my absence the past two weeks, but I'm sure the Bootleggers Buzz could cope without me. I simply could not think of anything to write which had not already been covered by other Buzz writers.

But yesterday I stumbled across what I thought was a pretty good idea for a buzz article- how people write in the forums.

Think about it- there is a lot of variety in the way people write. Does the way people right show their personality and attitude to life? I think so. Here is a little list I've put together for your benefit...

Name: "The noob"
Usual rank: Scum, Peewee, Thug
Example: "hey m8 cn i hav a oc plz i gt a stargepasis snd invite plz cn i hv sum moeny 2 plz i fink ur v best"
Typical profile: Full of random Google images and paint-ified pictures of Ferraris.
Outlook on life: They still don't realise how awful Bootleggers can be, bless them!

Name: "The old-skool"
Usual rank: Any rank really, but have been on Bootleggers for a long time
Example: "OMFGz0rz! *grabs dildo* I'm coming after j00 bish! O RLY?!?!?!!!!11!!1!1111"
Typical profile: Profiles vary- some have huge profiles with "hilarious" pictures on them, some have some genuinely outstanding photoshopped profile pictures. There's bound to be a smiley somewhere though.
Outlook on life: They tend to be a quite cheerful group of people, but want to bust a cap in BSF's ass!

Name: "The Noob Bully"
Usual rank: Again, ranks vary. Tend to be around the hitman level and reckon they've progressed far enough into the game to be invicnible.
Example: "giv me 250k before 6:30 or u die. i mean it."
Typical profile: Chocobloc full of 50 cent pictures or other "gangsters". Typically have at least one amateur protection pic saying "Don't mess with me."
Outlook on life: Secretly they giggle like sugar-filled toddlers when they bully someone out of yet another 50K. They enjoy Bootleggers, but will do anything to push themselves forward ahead of anyone else... even their best friends.

Name: "The Cynical, Educated, Upper class Sir"
Usual rank: Boss+
Example: "That's a pretty ironic statement, even for you. Now stop contradicting yourself, you're just embarressing yourself. "
Typical profile: Tiny. Tend to keep it to a bare minimum so that it's tidy. Usually have one or two impressive pictures with some sort of "clever" quote at the bottom.
Outlook on life: Depressed. Tell people that Bootleggers sucks and that they're lives are sad, despite they themselves logging on to Bootleggers every day.

I think you can tell quite a lot from how somebody talks, without even paying much attention to what they are saying. So... which one are you?
