Tinkertrain-syndrome

MrTinkertrain is a user on IRC who cannot be identified by any other users on the network but knows who everyone else is.(exception to Admin and higher staff)
This causes 'Tinkertrain-syndrome'

Tinkertrain-syndrome: An IRC virus/infection which effects the curiosity of the victem(s).
Early warning signs of Tinkertrain-syndrome include denial, slight hate and mild begrudging curiosity.
The full blown Tinkertrain-syndrome infection/virus leads to insanity, voilent rage, rage /quit's and excessive pm's begging/pleading to find out the persons identity.


This can be adapted to other nicknames and other users on any network. The first case of this infection/virus was named after the first user not able to be identified.

MrTinkertrain is the original to the Nevitus IRC server. His true identity is still unknown.
Many have fallen in the quest to find it out... God rest their souls.

Warning logs are from the original MrTinkertrain users are advised to read with caution.
(Victems names have been changed)

Public chat example:

*MrTinkertrain joins #lobby
<MrTinkertrain> Hey 'real name of user1' and hey 'real name of user2'
<user1> Hi, who are you?
<user2> Yeah who are?
<MrTinkertrain> A friend.
<user1> No seriously who are you and how do you know my name?
<user1> Does anyone know who MrTinkertrain is?
<user2> No but he knows us....
**user2 cries


Pm example:

<user1> Who are you MrTinkertrain ?
<MrTinkertrain> I'm sorry i have no wish to reveal my true identity.
<user1> Give me a clue?
<MrTinkertrain> No, sorry.
<user1> But you know who -I- am.
<MrTinkertrain> Yes i do.
<user1> So tell me who you are?
<MrTinkertrain> Like i said, I have no wish to reveal my true identity.
<user1> You're user2 arn't you? I knew it!
<MrTinkertrain> You're incorrect.

- 5 mins of silence pass-

<user1> FUCKING TELL ME WHO YOU ARE!
<user1> YOU FUCKING DICK !
<user1> FUCK YOU I DONT CARE ANYMORE

This conversation will repeat over and over again. The user become more and more curious leading to irrational behaviour and other symptoms thus catching Tinkertrain-syndrome.

Goblin Tinkerer

The little shit in Terraria who takes your weapons and makes them worse. Reforging weapons over and over is a great way to lose money.

I hate the Goblin Tinkerer.

independent thinker

Independent Thinkers are analytical and witty persons. They are normally self-confident and do not let themselves get worked up by conflicts and criticism. They are very much aware of their own strengths and have no doubts about their abilities. People of this personality type are often very successful in their career as they have both competence and purposefulness. Independent Thinkers are excellent strategists; logic, systematics and theoretical considerations are their world. They are eager for knowledge and always endeavour to expand and perfect their knowledge in any area which is interesting for them. Abstract thinking comes naturally to them; scientists and computer specialists are often of this type.

Independent Thinkers are specialists in their area. The development of their ideas and visions is important to them; they love being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because they often find it a strain having to make their complex trains of thought understandable to other people. Independent Thinkers cannot stand routine. Once they consider an idea to be good it is difficult to make them give it up; they pursue the implementation of that idea obstinately and persistently, also in the face of external opposition.

Thomas meant an independent thinker that totally crushed him.

free thinker

An individual whose opinions are formed on the basis of an understanding and rejection of tradition, authority or established belief.

Sarah did not believe that her friend Tom was going to hell just because he had a boyfriend. She was as a free thinker.

Free Thinker

A philosophical viewpoint that opinions or beliefs of reality should be based on science, logic and reason. Ideas should not be derived from religion, authority, governments or dogmas.

A free thinker should not reject nor accept any proposed truths of organized religion, established norms, media, etc. They should determine if the belief is valid based on their own knowledge, intuition, research and reason. Just because other people believe in it, doesn't mean it's right! Use your own judgment and think critically!

tinker stinker

An early morning, pre-game poop giving fantasy football owners alone time to ponder their lineups and adjust as needed. It often leads to over-thinking possible scenarios and making too many adjustments, usually negatively impacting the team's performance. Popularized by the character Rodney Ruxin on the FX show "The League".

Guy 1: Dude, where have you been all morning? The first games are about to kick-off!
Guy 2: I didn't know whether to start Fred Jackson or Andre Johnson in my flex position. I needed a long tinker stinker to adjust my team and eventually I changed my whole lineup around.
