MBTIc Fiction

[EffEmDoubleyou]

I.N.T.J.

Jung fan, theres no need to feel down
I said Jung fan, pick yourself off the ground
I said Jung fan, time to take up your crown
I know what will make you happy

Jung fan, theres something you oughta know
I said Jung fan, take this test it will show
That youre NT, once you master your mind
Then its time to conquer mankind

Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J
Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J

You can spend all your time on your intricate plan
Cause no girl will make you her man

Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J
Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J

You can blow your friends off, you can act like a heel
Cause no one expects you to feel

Jung fan, are you listening to me?
I said Jung fan, what do you want to be?
I said Jung fan, you can make real your dreams
But you got to know this one thing

No man does it all by himself, they say
Screw that, have some pride in yourself
And just do it, you’re an I.N.T.J.
Trust me, theyll all do things your way

Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J
Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J

You can spend all your time on your intricate plan
Cause no girl will make you her man

Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J
Its fun to say that youre I-N-T-J

You can blow your friends off, you can act like a heel
Cause no one expects you to feel

Jung fan, other types arent as good
Es and Ss leave you misunderstood
Oh those Feelers, they just sniffle and cry
And the Ps care what but not why

Listen, are you starting to see
I said Jung fan, this is your destiny
So just take it, youre an I.N.T.J.
Now youre off and well on your way

Its fun to say that youre I.N.T.J.
Its fun to say that youre I.N.T.J.

You can spend all your time on your intricate plan
Cause no girl will make you her man

I.N.T.J….feels good to be an I.N.T.J.

Jung fan, Jung fan, theres no need to feel down
Jung fan, Jung fan, get yourself off the ground

Return of the Sensor

[nottaprettygal]

Thanks, Edahn. I tried to post it, but for some reason I kept getting an error. Sorry for the delay everyone.

[Ivy]

NP, I saw that you had it way early so IMO this is technical difficulties. I'll do the polls now.

[Jen]

Does anyone but team members even look at this? I mean more than half of my team are gone so I imagine that others are over this as well.

[Edahn]

I deleted the other posts, FYI, so the submissions are on top.

[Night]

Fantastic job, ya'll.

[nottaprettygal]

The chipmunk voice concept alone made me laugh, although halfway through the black team's video, it was a bit grating to my ears. I also like the part where the black team rambled through BW's dialogue because. . . who cares?

If I had to make one criticism, I wish we could have had a bit more background on Ivy's panties. Color? Style? Aroma? I mean. . . for the sake of the plot, not because I am personally interested or anything.

[EffEmDoubleyou]

I think this challenge has the strongest entries collectively of any challenge so far...good job everyone!

[Ivy]

By the way-- your voting polls are here:

[Haight]

I don't understand the voting system.

[Ivy]

Magneto would understand it.
Edit: or Gandalf, same diff.

[Jen]

people need simplicity especially on a psychology forum.

[EffEmDoubleyou]

As I understand it, it's basically just so no one can vote for their own team while also not requiring them to vote for another team.

[Ivy]

Yup.

[Jen]

just because you don't have any psychological issues doesn't mean we're all normal like you FMwarner!

[Ivy]

The other purpose was to spice it up a bit with some reality TV style intrigue. Which teams are voting? Who are they voting for? Tune in and see!

[Jen]

there's gotta be a better way to get people more involved. a lot of work goes into these challenges and if reg peeps aren't tuning in then it's just not inspiring. The Gauntlet needs good PR badly. Where's whatever when we need her?

[Haight]

As I understand it, it's basically just so no one can vote for their own team while also not requiring them to vote for another team.What if your teams video IS the best video? Or, why not just continue with a single poll and implement this new voting rule (which I think is silly, by the way, but that's neither here nor there)? And, why have team-specific polls if voting for your team in those polls won't be counted?

[Ivy]

Just trying something different, no need to publically berate me. :cry:

[nottaprettygal]

I dunno. Your sentiment isn't true of everyone. There are definitely some people who participate because they personally find it enjoyable. I know that's why I signed up in the first place. . . not for the fame or forture. I just like creating things (or ideas if we don't actually submit anything) and getting amusement from them.

I also think that quite a few people view the entries though.

[nottaprettygal]

Just trying something different, no need to publically berate me. :cry:

I just yelled at him for making you cry!

Question: Are the votes public?

[EffEmDoubleyou]

What if your teams video IS the best video?

Well, ideally that's the only time you'd vote for your own team. But I think we've seen some things that tell us this isn't what's happening. I think the point is that teams with a larger number of members (or active members) would have an advantage because of a few extra guaranteed votes. This way, at least the decision of what is best rests primarily with disinterested parties. Maybe it won't work, but I'm glad we're giving it a try. I think the last voting system was fatally flawed.

[Haight]

a/ Then just disallow team members from voting. . . period.
b/ I'm not sure that your assumption for why it was "fatally flawed" is correct; but I'll check on that.
c/ I really don't care. I just didn't know how or where I was supposed to vote.
Which made me think that it's possible other folks were having the same problem.

[heart]

Can those of us on dial up possibly see a transcript of all the videos?

If not, no big deal.

[Haight]

Just trying something different, no need to publically berate me. :cry:Oh damn. . . that was your idea? My bad.

After reconsidering the subtle beauty behind this idea, I'd like to apologize for my rude and horribly misplaced criticism. In other words. . . sorry.

And you misspelled "publicly." :run:

[Jen]

at least she didn't say pubicly.

[Ivy]

Edit: Dirty minds think alike!

[Jen]

Can those of us on dial up possibly see a transcript of all the videos?

If not, no big deal.Sure, here's our rough draft copy.

Pulp Fiction Breakfast Scene


Right, so SLJ, who will be called Mac from henceforth, comes in the room along with Travolta, who is Edahn.

Mac: Hey guys, no, don't get up, just keep chillin'. Put your feet up. Yeah, just like that. Well now, this is nice. We're here from the MBTIc admin team. You do remember posting on the forums, don't you?
BlueWing (guy at table): Um, yeah
Mac: Well, let me guess now... which one is BlueWing? You?
BW: Nods
Mac: I thought so. Now, we've been having some problems because of your kind comin' in and ranting on with all this existential angst bullshit, and now you've stolen something belonging to Ivy - now why would you wanna do that?
BW: Because... I had to
Mac: I bet you did. We all just do what we have to, ain't that right? Now tell me, do you know who I am?
BW: Uh, MacGuffin?
Mac: I'm MacGuffin. Right. You knew that all along and you didn't even offer me any refreshment as a guest in your house.
BW: Uh, I'm sorry, I...
Mac: You know what? That was so rude, I'm just gonna help myself here, you greasy motherfucker.
BW: I'm sorry, you threw me, you don't usually say so much in one go
Mac: It's an image thing. (takes bite of burger) Mm, that is one tasty burger. Just like my grandma used to make. Now she was a God fearing woman. You know my grandma?
BW: No
Travolta: Mac, everyone knows your grandma, she's a slut
Mac: You have to excuse my friend Edahn, he has authority issues.
BW: Listen, I don't know what this is about
Mac: Oh, you don't? Well, I'll be damned. All that work you make for me and you don't even have any idea why somebody be pissed with you. Amazing. Gimme some of that drink.
BW: Sure... uh, go ahead
Mac: (drinks, then looks at guy on sofa) You over there, you'd be - now who'd you be?
Marvin: that's Athenian, it was her idea!
Mac: I don't remember asking your ass, Wolf.
Sofadude: it wasn't me, BW put it in the closet over there
Travolta looks in closets
BW: Oh my god this is so embarrassing
Travolta: Jesus guys, what did you steal??
(incredulous looks all round)
Travolta: opens case, stares in confusion while Mac calls out guesses as to what's in there
Mac: Well what's in there?
Travolta: Ivy's underwear
BW: Listen guys, you gotta believe me, we were gonna give it back as soon as we'd finished with it, but we needed to conduct an empirical experiment as to the [insert typical BW-esque thread title], but then Athenian started running around with it on her head [stands up, gets told to sit down, sits down] and then she slipped over and landed with the broomhandle right up her -
[Mac shoots sofadude]
Mac: I'm sorry, I had to do that. That motherfucker had a miserable life, she never woulda got laid anyway. [BW panic face] You see? See where this perversion leads? First it's atheism, then stealing respectable ladies' panties, it's a slippery slope. Now tell me all about ethical materialisms
BW: W-w-what?
Mac: You heard me motherfucker, philosophize!
[rapid fire interrogation, philosophy exam type questions which degenerates into the rant I posted earlier to replace the Bible passage lines]
MacG-have you any idea how annoying it is to have to moderate with people like you around? I have to sit and read through all your fucking lame, boring, same old shit amateur existential bullshit - have you any idea of the hours of my life I'll never get back again, hours I could've spent nestled between the ample bosom of Lookin4thebestNU and PinkPiranha!
BANG BANG BANG!

[EffEmDoubleyou]

But you said that teams can't vote for their own team.

Right, now they can't. And the reason I'm cool with that is because ideally people would only vote for their own entry if it were the best, but I don't think that was happening.

Well, three points:
a/ Then just disallow team members from voting. . . period.
b/ I'm not sure that your assumption for why it was "fatally flawed" is correct; but I'll check on that.
c/ I really don't care. I just didn't know how or where I was supposed to vote.
Which made me think that it's possible other folks were having the same problem.

A - is fine.
B - it's probably more true that the contestants are fatally flawed than the voting system. They system just allowed them to indulge that flaw. Hope that makes more sense.
C - I'm certain you're not alone on either point.

[Jeffster]

Yo, why'd you delete Kung Fu? Caine is gonna hunt you down!

[Ivy]

Evidently we're just a bunch of Unfrozen Caveman Forum Members, and your "joke submissions" and "complicated voting procedures" frighten and confuse us.

[Haight]

Right, now they can't. And the reason I'm cool with that is because ideally people would only vote for their own entry if it were the best, but I don't think that was happening.Eh. . . after a bit of investigating, I've found that was happening more often than you'd think. In fact, if the last challenge disallowed votes from team members, the result would have been the same.

Just as I suspected. ;)




A - is fine.
B - it's probably more true that the contestants are fatally flawed than the voting system. They system just allowed them to indulge that flaw. Hope that makes more sense.
C - I'm certain you're not alone on either point.Cool, then lets go with "a" from now on.

And again, you're not as correct about "b" as you think.

[Jeffster]

Evidently we're just a bunch of Unfrozen Caveman Forum Members, and your "joke submissions" and "complicated voting procedures" frighten and confuse us.

Probably. I still love your pink hair, though. :wubbie:

[Wolf]

For various reasons, obviously, I can't vote for black. Green did a pretty good one, and so did blue (though the editing was a little harsh).

Difficult choice...

[Jen]

:cry: why not?

[Haight]

:cry: why not?Because he's racist?

[Jen]

BlueWing is a lot better looking that I would have imagined but his voice is too whiny Athenian is lazy and can't seem to move her ass off the couch. Wolf looks like a scared chicken and Edahn looks an awful lot like John Travolta.

[Carebear]

Wow, I'm seriously impressed by the entries this round! I lol'd several times, both from the brilliant INTJ anthem and the revenge of the nerds Star Wars scene.

[Tallulah]

LOL! "Come with me, and we can...run a nightclub or something." Awesome.

[Mempy]

Wow. These entries are just AWESOME.

Black: the whole idea is a great one, from start to finish, and all the jokes are funny. I love the whole thing. "You heard me, motherfucker! Philosophize!"

Loved Blue's, too, and I also loved the joke Tallulah quoted. Haha, the whole concept is great, and the voice actors did great jobs, especially the one(s) playing Vader. One caveat: the vid would have done well to have the sound and the video better synced.

Green's is great. The lyrics, video and song are nicely synced, the humor of the lyrics is great, and FM has a very nice voice. "You can spend all your time on your intricate plan. Cause no girl will make you her man."

Anyway, I'm just astounded by you guys. :)

I honestly have to abstain from voting because I just can't pick one. Regardless of who wins, it's a definite that they've all been VERY entertaining. MBTIc's members ROCK. :)

[Mondo]

Can people on the Red Team vote?

They were pretty entertaining.

[digesthisickness]

wow. i completely dropped the ball on this challenge. not only did i completely disappear on my team, but i haven't studied this voting procedure and may have done it wrong.

while they clearly did just fine without me, apologies to everyone on my team that did all the work.

[disregard]

This was a really fun challenge.

[Thursday]

while they clearly did just fine without me, apologies to everyone on my team that did all the work.

Ditto

[Jen]

I had a lot of fun with this challenge. Here is my first attempt at recording. It took at least 20 times before I could get through the script without laughing.

[Thursday]

WARNING : Jen is not my sassy aunt from New Orleans
She's from Venus

[MacGuffin]

If I had to make one criticism, I wish we could have had a bit more background on Ivy's panties. Color? Style? Aroma? I mean. . . for the sake of the plot, not because I am personally interested or anything.

Completely unnecessary, Ivy's panties are the MacGuffin of the story!

:party2:

[disregard]

Can those of us on dial up possibly see a transcript of all the videos?

If not, no big deal.

Vader: You are beaten. It is useless to resist! Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did.

[vader hand chop!]

Luke: What the fuck, man?

(shot of Vader not talking, then a shot of Luke holding his hand or whatever the fuck)

Vader: There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. Luke, you have not yet realised your importance. You've only begun to discover your type. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict, and figure out your true type.

Luke: I’m an INTP you asshole!

Vader: If you only knew the power of the other types. Obi-Wan never told you what your type was.

Luke: He told me enough! He told me I’m an INTP!

V: No. You are a sensor.

L: No, no! That's impossible. (original clip)

[this part is new and will need some fancy editing]
V: Luke.
(Quick change to Vader talking to Luke talking)
L: What?
V: You are an extrovert.
L: No. No. It's not true. That's impossible! (original clip)
V: Luke.
L: (ignoring Vader, not talking)
V: Luke.
L: (not talking)
V: Luke.
L: What the fuck do you want now?
V: Bad news.
L: (clip of Luke not talking)
V: You are a judger.
L: No. No. It's not true. That's impossible! (original clip)
(comedic pause where there's no one talking but they're looking at each other, maybe a wide angle shot, for about 4-5 seconds)
V: Luke.
L: Go fuck yourself. (quick shot)
V: No. You are a feeler.
(shot of Luke, totally silent for about 2 seconds, then a shot of Vader who is silent for one second, and then a shot of Luke again for one second, who is still silent)
V: Search your feelings -- (original clip shortened)

Luke: Nooooooo! Noooo!

Vader: Luke, as an ESFJ, you can work as an administrative assistant, or start threads on MBTIc about your type, or run a fancy nightclub in Upper Manhattan. He has forseen this. It is your destiny! Join me and together we can rule the nightlife as business partners. Come with me, it is the only way.

[Luke jumps]

END

[Lethe]

V: Luke.
L: Go fuck yourself. (quick shot)
V: No. You are a feeler.

V: Listen to me, you twit. Luke!
L: Why should I, you fucker! (quick shot)
V: Stop cursing already. (Pause) You are a feeler.

[Jen]

Ivy, I'm sure you're probably wondering as to the whereabouts of your underwear and well I did recover them for you but Limey was so excited when he got home last night that he was running around the house with them on his head like a ski mask. I had to wrestle him down to get them back and hide them in a really safe place. I'm so sorry :cry:, I've washed them and plan on returning them asap. Please don't hate him/me. :hug:

[EffEmDoubleyou]

I just want to know what made Ivy's panties glow. Is it the detergent she uses?

I went green this time, although black was a close second, Pulp Fiction is always good. The INTJ stereotype - YMCA juxtaposition was great.

Just so you know, we will edit it so that your commentary with the hot ladies is immediately followed by "confession booth" footage of said ladies talking about how you spent the entire session looking at their bewbs.

[Martoon]

I spaced, and voted in this poll (well, in my defense, Red are spectators in this one). Can one of the madmins nuke my vote here?

Black shoulda won this one.

Now I return from bonny Scotland to find what Carebear and the others did with my script and I'm shocked and appalled that we didn't win.

I'm just going to go and slit my wrists.
