Free Talk Fridays - Week of August 21, 2015

Part 2

/u/Illtima: Chaika

Strengths:Famed endorser of Golden Time, Chaika, Kyoukai no Kanata, and a few others. Very passionate about these shows, and often picks from this small pool of shows for most of the recommendation threads he tackles. A powerhouse when it comes to fanart, posts interesting and popular fan art very often. Also does the weekly airing show discussions, which is excellent for establishing a good OP image. Used to post quite a lot of discussion threads back in the day. Also very humorous and his comments are usually funny.

Weaknesses: Has passionate opinions just like Amethyst. A strong dislike for Aki, doesn’t like Soma from Shokugeki, disliking Gilgamesh. Often times sticks with his opinions and will get downvoted for having unpopular opinions. Similar to Amethyst once more, his dislike for Saekano is apparent. Make him talk about his opinions such as his least favorite shows or villains. The appearance of Gilgamesh and Saekano in these answers will naturally trigger downvotes in /r/anime who adore the two. Recently it seems he grows irritated at the constantly reposted posts such as unpopular anime opinions, or confessions. He may comment in a meta fashion, which can trigger downvotes on him because he is trying to hinder the growth of the thread.

/u/ReggaeManMurphy: Homura

Strengths:Representative of Madoka Magica on the sub. Often recommends the show, and is Homura’s champion. Overall, happy go lucky reddit personality, able to gather numerous upvotes through energy filled comments and humorous jests. Friendly with other power users, often times creating massive comment chains of conversation, resulting in karma gain. Has better than average skill when it comes to the handling and usage of dank memes. Often times allies with LordTakuro in Dank Memes

Weaknesses: Posts MAL threads, or atleast used to. Dislikes the second half of UBW, and receives large backlash for this. Sometimes circlejerks too far, and results in downvotes. Often times will edit his downvoted comments, with “I Regret Nothing” or something of the sort. Has a few unpopular opinions, such as finding the MC of FMA boring. Strong dislike for School Days, which can go both ways.

/u/Urban287: Popo

Strengths:Extremely popular due to generally effective comments and introduction of a lot of comment faces into the subreddit. Links entertaining content. One of the few users, who utilize the gold mine of links. Attempted to do the /r/anime Deathbattle series, which was quite interesting although lacked popularity. Has numerous comments linking vast numbers of cute gifs, images, etc. A moe lover to the max, and appeals to the moe community through his endorsement of moe comment faces and moe admiring comments.

Weaknesses: A mod. Being a moderator the sub, he is required to remove content deemed shit, and sometimes the community may disagree. Can be triggered into argument occasionally, or atleast used to. Utilize the fact that he is a mod, and force the community to turn against him. The most effective way to turn on a mod, is to tag him as a tyrant in the eyes of others, and sow discontent.

/u/KousakaReina: Tubacabra

Strengths:Known for his dedication for Hibike Euphonium, and appreciation for his waifu, “Kousaka Reina.” Fairly humorous. Became very enthusiastic for Reina during the Best Girl Contest, gathered minor popularity through gif posts. Strong opposition towards /u/DasTales. The two have a rivalry over best Saekano girl, and /u/KousakaReina will often champion Utaha Kasumigaoka against /u/DasTales’ Katou. These minor argument chains will result in massive karma gain due to the humor and content.

Weaknesses: Lack of activity in recent days, seldom appears. Dislikes Code Geass which can be utilized to ruin his comment karma gains. Dislikes Tatami Galaxy which is seen negatively in the subreddit. Lacks creativity when it comes to posts, restrains himself with Hibike Euphonium rather than branch off into other forms of discussion threads.

/u/longlifeaffinity: Studio Man

Strengths:Humorous in his comments, using a healthy mix of perverted humor along with wit. The type of user to think of a pun and chuckle to himself as everyone tells him to leave. Similar to /u/Anarchiszm, he is aware of how to appeal to the general /r/anime community and leaves little to be desired in his comments. Along with his comments, he is a good contributor to the community due to his weekly Studio of the Week threads which are interesting and establish his image.

Weaknesses: Often argues with other people over their words. Easily triggered by people he deems ignorant or just plain stupid. Very stubborn with his opinions, and very verbal on them. Thinks lowly of the popular Prison School, Spice and Wolf, Oregairu Zoku, and many more. Utilize his unpopular opinions to trigger the hive community. Trigger him into an argument and rustle his jimmies for maximum salt levels, allowing for mistakes on his part on normal reddiquette. Easily triggered by words such as pretentious, edgy, forced, melodrama, deconstruction, etc. Especially when used in an incorrect context

/u/fuzzyjustin: Rin Slayer (Written by /u/Anarchiszm)

Strengths: Frequent thread poster, usually original. Often times make his threads open for creativity and cooperation, inducing a creative atmosphere. Takes advantage of his threads as OP and responds for karma. It is said fuzzyjustin once spent 2 sleepless nights thinking of threads to post to /r/anime. When asked of his motive he was quoted for saying: “For the comment karma bruh.” Typically knows how to appeal to the community and utilizes comment faces sufficiently. Grew extra popularity after messing up the Best Girl Brackets by typing up a speech for Yukinoshita

Weaknesses: Grows impatient when he hasn’t had large karma gains, may post a fairly crappy thread, regret the decision, then delete. May reuse older successful threads of his for the sake of extra karma. Call him out for this, and steal his karma. Also fell into a ditch recently, seems to be overshadowed by newcomers and other users. Often times can be found commenting on things he doesn’t need to comment on, for the sake of karma. Only posts/comments when there’s karma to be reaped, often times ignores certain threads he believes to have low potential. Use this to your advantage, and make popular threads before he realizes his mistake.
