EXTRA:

Today we have a very nice personality quiz! http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

It's a good personality quiz and once you've taken it, you'll find out which one of the 16 types of personalities you are. You could be ISFJ, ISTP, and so on. Click the answer (in blue) you get to know a whole lot of details about it! :D You even get to know who you are 'normally' (but, not necessarily) be compatible with! : )

Remember, this quiz makes you know about yourself in a fun way, and you may even learn good things about making yourself better! ;D Now, who doesn't wanna stand at ze top? Keep smiling and let us know what you get! I wonder who I'm compatible with around in the forums here. :meowth:





INTERVIEWS & RANTSPage 8

Exciting interviews by our community and rants!

Posted Image MEMBER INTERVIEW

Today we interview one of our most dedicated mods, Repinski!

1.) So, Mr. Repinski, how did you feel when you were first knighted by Gforce and were made the forum’s Moderator? Special day wasn’t it?

Ans) I was a little surprised in all honesty. Even being here for the few months now that I have, I'mm still a rather new face though as an RPG Mod and as a Global Mod, I've always strived to excell when I could.

2.) I often wondered what your name meant. Why’d you choose it as your username?

Ans) Haha I get this one a lot in all honesty and the answer is quite simple. When I was 13 or a bit younger I couldn't think of what user name to use and I would continually forget ones I made up. From there I started using my real last name as my user name for most things. As some of you know, my name is Matt Repinski.

3.) Any special memory you've got attached to this forum ‘ere?

Ans) Being promoted to RPG Staff. I think I was active for about a week prior to that promotion from Gossip. I asked because I wanted to help out and he gave me the chance to do so and prove myself as a member of this community. A special thanks to him for that.

4.) Would you rather play video games or real sports?

Ans) Games easily. I've never been a big sports fan and I could tell you more about professional gaming than I could the real sport I'm the most familiar with, NFL.

5.) There are three black sheep and one white one. Why do you think I’m telling you this?

Ans) Because you're the quirky and fun Misses Snowy? :O

6.) Suppose someone bribed you… *looks around* would you accept it? *shows you a big pizza*

Ans) Depends on what's being bought with that bribe. ;)

7.) What’s the best thing you've done in life?

Ans) I saved my little brother's life. I'd rather not go into details though as that's a very sad moment in my life.

8.) Are you the huggy-bear type or a pedo bear type?

Ans) Huggy-bear all the way. *gives Snowy a hug*

9.) What is the one thing missing in your life and what is the one thing you treasure?

Ans) A relationship with a significant other. I'm pretty content with my life and I know what I want to achieve and how to do it. I'm on that road. As for what I treasure, I'd have to say my family. A few years ago I would not have said that.

10.) Lastly, how do you say goodbye? : D

Ans) Depends on the person. Generally if you get close to me as a friend, with a hug. :3

Our special reply




CRIME INVESTIGATION!Page 9

Welcome to today's newest crime investigation! The news is that NO ONE GOT THE LAST CRIME INVESTIGATION ANSWER. You may PM me if you are curious to know who did the crime. Open the below spoiler :P

Spoiler: click to toggle


TODAY:

There is a lack of crime around the forums... This is strange. We decided to investigate and have found out that somebody has killed all the crooks! Although this is great, we need to arrest someone, so lets catch the so-called murderer!

Most creative answer wins. Give reasons for who you think is killing the crooks! Good luck!






ARTICLE SMARTICLEPage X

Please read


And, we're always ready to help! And now for today's article!

SWEET VENOM:

Sweet venom? What's that?

No, it's not sugar. Sugar is a gift to treasure. So you may think: What else is 'sweet' but is known to cause health problems? Two words: Artificial sweeteners. Before you leave because you've read articles like these in newspapers everywhere, stay a while and listen, because this article is about ASAPARTAME, the sweet venom.

You might think: Why Asapartame? All artificial sweeteners can cause side effects after over-time consumption. Asapartame is different. Aspartame dissolves into solution and can therefore travel throughout the body and deposit within any tissue. The body digests aspartame unlike saccharin, which does not break down within humans. (Source: Dr. Janet Star Hull)

Since Asapratame can dissolve into tissue, it directly affects each tissue. This is why Asapartame is known to cause OVER NINETY-TWO HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS.

92, including ENT, Neurological and psychological problems. It the cause of some very common problems like ears ringing, partial blindness (!), and one of the worst effects of all, craving for real sugar.

That's right, artificial sugar causes you to get a craving for real sugar. This is ironic because these sweeteners are meant for those on diets, those affected with diabetes etc. who want to counter the sugar craving.

Addiction to asapartame is possible if you drink a can of diet cola everyday for a few months, which is very common. This is extremely bad and must be detoxified immediately. Long time addiction of a few years leads to organ failure and death. Just a few cans of diet cola can cause half of the known side-effects.

WHERE IS IT FOUND?

Asapartame is found in almost every diet cola and sugar-free cola. Including Zero coke, diet pepsi etc. The bad part is that FDA has allowed the use of Asapartame for some reason. All they did was feed mice asapartame and saw that nothing much really happened. Humans are related to mice someway, right? Nope.

HOW CAN WE AVOID THIS?

Forget asapartame. Remove all sugar-free products from your diet which are known to contain asapartame. Tell others you know and spread the word. Asapartame is anything but tame.

Oh and remember, there is some good research on this. "I counsel aspartame victims worldwide and have witnessed nine out of 10 clients restore their health by following the Aspartame Detoxification Program. Begin with detoxifying your body of all residual chemical toxins from aspartame's chemical make up of phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol and their toxic by-products, and see if any adverse health symptoms remain." ~ Dr. Hull, who has researched Asapartame a lot.




Thank you for reading today's PNN everyone! :D Please comment on the various sections! :D

If that is so, purpl3, then explain me. My best art is basically a DOODLE. Literally. I scribble randomy, and thus I end up with some of my best art. When I focus... I fail. >-<

Hey, when you put yourself into it, study it, apply your knowledge, and practice practice practice, anyone can become a phenomenal artist.
I think the most important thing there is believing you're doing good, and not comparing yourself to others. Because that's when you start to give up on yourself. : P

Practise they say; practise I try; Practise I fail :p I should try it out more, but I have a picture in my mind and when I fail, I feel sad.

And everyone feels that. I feel that every single time. You should see how many papers I've ripped to shreds with my pencil while sketching out of frustration. But learning to overcome those feelings that you're not good enough, and that you'll never be good enough, is a very important step to improving in art.

Lots and lots of practice. Practice until you drop dead!
And the first step of drawing is copying/redrawing stuff. You must learn to look and visualise.

It also helps if you know something about art, like theory, as in art history and techniques/concepts. Knowledge is power.

To be honest, failure is almost certainly guaranteed for a long time, especially if you judge it in a critical light based on the best artwork. d:
But art is art, and you have to like what it is for what it is and keep on pushing forward. : > So good on ya Socrates, I'll be practicing right along with you.

Really? X D Wow, I started that way too! X D My first step in art was tracing and tracing! :D

My friends used to laugh at me for that, but I thought that there was no other cheater tracer better than myself! *0* I soon learnt to draw without it. It's like driving your bicycle without the training wheels! ^-^ Tracing being the training wheels.

I finally made some time for this personality test. It seems I am an ISFP.
Strength of individual traits: I - 62%, S - 18%, F - 7%, P - 19%.

Strenghts and weaknesses

The only thing that doen't sound like me is the stress. I'm also not really that competitive.

Hmm.. The link's always here if you feel like it! ^.^ It's not a bigy. :) Just analyses yourself. But, I wouldn't call it too precise, but still, it gets close enough. ^.^ Anyway, you needn't take the test if you don't feel like it, really. :)

When I read that, it sounded like me more really. X D It's weird but, I'm a lot of things at once. :/ I keep getting mood swings, and I'm either an ISFP or something else, depending on time. X D

But, I think ISFP should have been what I should have gotten. -.o

But, I'm also more like ENFJ also. But, in that, I'm definitely not a good leader and I can actually take criticism (But, ENFJ states the opposite. XD)

So, I guess these tests aren't precise like that. xD But still, close enough! :)

It seems to me like we tend to be a mix between two of these personality types. d:
Like how INTP and ISTP combined describe me pretty perfectly.

Can someone who got the INTP thing PM me the personality sheet thingy? I want to see it, but I can't take the quiz.
You know, I'm everything really. When with strangers, I, when with friends, E... When I begin to hold a situation, S, when I grow used to and learn it, N... T and F are split depending on my mood... And I plan my schedule in my head, J, but I want some flexibility mixed in, being P... I'm everything and nothing.. I honestly don't know..
