Samurai

Page history last edited by synk_ 2 yrs ago

Samurai (often shortened to "Sam") is well known as the "British guy" of ClanBOB. People often call him out and ask him questions relating to British culture, such as the language differences or British stereotypes. He is a good natured person, though, so he is happy to respond to all these inquiries. Perhaps he is somewhat flattered by the interest in his culture.

 

Samurai is also the master of acronyms on clanBOB, often acronyms that no one else uses or has any clue what they mean. Current theory states that British people don't have the time to write things out fully. Another possible explanation is that Samurai spends so much time on other parts of the internet that use many acronyms, such as with usenet groups, that he picks the them up as second nature.

 

As he works as an editor at a newspaper, Samurai is also known for correcting the other members' spelling and grammar.

 

Due to his popularity and evenhandedness, Samurai was elected one of the mods on the new forums.

 

Samurai is also known by his BOBname, IncorruptibleBOB, after many suggestions were offered (if synk's memory serves, this was his suggestion).

 

During the production of this wiki, Samurai spent a lot of time and effort very slowly proofreading and cleaning up entries and is therefore named an honourary wiki editorBOB, AKA Resident Grammarian/Grammar Nazi (Tsk, tsk. Name calling is bad - cockEd).

The acronyms thing comes from Usenet and older BBS. They're not that difficult to figure out, and some of us others also know them. Still, it is true that he's usually the only one to actually use them.
