So, I was incredibly board and someone mentioned how Ancient is pretty much the scholar of the boards, and I mentioned something about him being the resident Ehran (or however that's spelled). That got me to wondering what dumpshockers are who else?
Captain Chaos would be a toss up between Neuron Basher and Adam. And there are the obvious ones like Bull being Bull and DVixen being DVixen. I'm sure we have a Harlequin and a Nadja on here somewhere.
What else? Nominate your fellow dumpshockers.

I'd agree with the characterisation of AH as Ehran the Scribe. The only difference is that AH has always seemed kind, modest, and helpful.

'Cept when I have to deal with pissants that claim I don't know my material. Thankee all for the compliments.
Y'all do realize that several board members were actually included in the books, on purpose?

None other than the "god of Chaos." Of course I don't know the actual god's screename, but I am sure he posts under something. Speaking of the "god of Chaos," I thought of adding a shamanic totem of Chaos to a game I am GM-ing, but I didn't know what the bonuses and negatives would be. Obviously a bonus to illusion spells, but what else? Would it be an Idol? How would it look and what would be said about its followers?

Just make the chaos shaman be a focus of the chaotic magic principles mentioned in MitS. I would apply the effects to any external magic (spells, spirits, etc.) within (MR meters) of the shaman and also to any internal magic (adept powers) within a tenth of that distance.
A totem for chaos is difficult to handle. Any totem that is clearly defined is not a valid totem of chaos.

I can't think of any significant Spider Shamans in the books to claim and that's really my most distinguishing characteristic.
Instead I'd probably rank as random NPC #4: The really bad smelling squatter hiding behind the dumpster when the gang fight starts.

I seem to remember a thread on someone who wanted to be a True Believer in chaos. He said there'd be an organization of people dedicated to bringing it about. lol

My old college roommate tells me that the guy on SR2 p.199 looks just like I used to when our idiot neighbors were playing basketball in the hallway or something similarly stupid and annoying. It's amazing how quickly opening a door with a pissed-off look on your face and a naked sword in your hand will clear a hallway. On the other hand, that's clearly a katana, and I prefer Western swords.
And both of us'll swear that the guy with the yo-yo and the Green Abscess shirt is our friend Steve (who once actually broke a guy's nose with a yo-yo, in a very brief fight involving his insistence that the guy stop harassing some chick, and the guy's resulting characterization of him as a "yo-yo playing fag").
