Also App-tans need consistency check before we go further into that.

You missed WE-tan, but as she's an enigma as a character we'll take her later.

First question:
Rise and shine! So how are you waking up?

Possible answers:
-eeek your turn.

oh wow. that's a BIG list.

i remember seeing a "what os-tan are you?" quiz somewhere....but it wasn't terribly good.....(quizmaker got lazy so all answers led to XP-tan.)

i think hosting a quiz on this site is a cute idea. and even if we couldn't host it here we could host it on quizilla and then link it here. :3

go you, guys! all the power to ya! ^^

On-site hosting would require some manner of talking to Fedora-tan, to either ensure a working http/css script or an implementation of in-thread flash...

Neither of which we have at the moment. I don't think anyone but admins can change the "http allowed in thread" setting...Aurora?

Post by: Aurora Borealis on October 25, 2009, 12:36:05 PM
I don't know how to do that as I don't have admin powers like that. Hahaha! I'm useless!

BTW, I think there should be multiple OS-tan quizzes, one for Windows-tans, one for Mac-tans, one for Linux-tans. Besides, it's much easier than making one massive quiz with THAT many results!
Title: Lets make a "Which OS-tan are you" Quiz!
Post by: NejinOniwa on October 25, 2009, 01:28:57 PM
Yeah, that's what I proposed in the other thread too.

But ok, without fedora's help, it seems like there's no chance of getting the hosting to work on-site.
I could host it, maybe. Just need some script-ripping and remaking for things to function properly, but hell, I've gotta put that bandwidth to some use, at least!

Anyone got ideas of engines/css-http scripts to use?

aw. cheer up.

i agree with you gusy tho, it's TOO huge to put in just one quiz....

hmm, we could start w/ a "which os are you?" quiz, to determine if person is mac, linux, or windows....or something else....

then direct person to proper quiz, to narrow down exactly WHICH mac, linux, windows, or other they are.

that sound good?

Post by: NejinOniwa on October 25, 2009, 02:20:57 PM
The "which OS are you" one seems a bit off, seeing as that's more tech-specific, and not os-tan-specific, but we could do that as well, I guess.

Otherwise good.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on October 25, 2009, 02:23:43 PM
well, i didn't know how else to put it. "which os-tan are you" lends itself to the original idea of FUKIN HUGE quiz with too many answers.

"which os family are you" ?? idk.

No it doesn't... it's actually easier to make multiple quizzes that have less answers than just one with so many answers that people will either not go through the whole quiz or just press buttons to see which combination gets them their preferred choice.

Those quizzes are moronic... can't we just decide what we are by our own logic? :p

I, for example, love pwning skiddies and see Windows as nothing but a cheap ripoff of other, better OSes. So my being VMS is a natural fit. xD

Post by: Chocofreak13 on October 28, 2009, 10:01:44 PM
BY ALL MY READING (at 10 pm, running on ???? hours of sleep) I HAVE DETERMINED WHAT I SEE AS A CORRECT PECKING ORDER:

quiz 1: which os family are you?
  -windows
  - mac
  -linux
  -obscure computers
  -viruses/apps/whatever

quiz 2: what windows are you?
  - windows tans
quiz 3: what mac are you?
  -macs
quiz 4:what linux are you?
  -linux tans (OH GAWDS UNHOLY AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS)
quiz 5: what obscure os are you?
  -older/obscure tans
quiz 6: what virus/site/app/watever are you?
  -ect.


YES this requires effort lazy thread-creator (sora) but the os-tans wouldn't exist w/o effort. great crap in this world would not exist w/o effort.

besides, if we split the work, then it'll go easier. we'll just have to compare notes along the way. :3

dood, 5 HOURS.

and i don't have enough info on some of the more obscure personalities.

which brings me to this part of the topic:

POST INFO ON OBSUCRE-TANS PLZ~

examples include old tans, odd tans, websites, viruses, applications (messengers), older macs / windows (especially macs) and linuxes.

basically all i know is mostly windows, a tiny bit of linux, and some current macs.

by "post info", i mean personality, NOT hardware requirements.

and i will wait till weekend if you want me to do the quiz....i want dinner....

tomorrow's friday, so i can start then, but there's a couple other things i've been meaning to do, so i should do that too.

saturday, i was upset about not doing anything for halloween, so me and mum are going to go see "michael jackson's this is it" while it's in theaters.
he creeped me out a bit, but he was a great artist (he actually playing right now ^^; ) and he was a marketing genius (he's making money AFTER he's dead! ).

I'll list some vintage OS-tans! I'm just getting started. I'm going to have dinner right now and will be back with more vintage OS-tans.

Commodore PET-tan: Very prim and proper. Used to be extremely uptight and competitive, but in recent years, has become more laid-back, is wise and likes animals.

Commodore 64-tan: An ambitious, highly competitive gamer, musician, inventor and tech expert. Loves retro technology and is willing to compete against modern OS-tans and game console-tans! She used to hate her stepsister Amiga-tan, but after the Commodore company's demise, the reconciled and are now very close friends.

Commodore 128-tan: One of the youngest Commodore-tans, but is wise, kind and mature. She just wants everybody to get along. She is the only one of her family to have known C65-tan, and lives as a wanderer hoping to find her again.  

Commodore 65-tan: A insane, tough, hot-blooded pirate who lives on her own and NEVER gives up despite her disadvantages. Has a peg leg. Her friends are just as weird as she is! She is the long-lost sibling of the Commodore Family. Her other relatives are unaware of her existance and she has gotten into conflicts with them, since they thought she was a bootleg OS-tan.

Amiga-tan: Is a talented traditional artist, musician and journalist. She was very advanced back in the 1980's, but would rather unite and collaborate with others than compete. She founded and leads an organization uniting various vintage OS-tans. She loves helping others and is one of the nicest OS-tans you'd ever meet! Stands out as being one of the tallest OS-tans and is the tallest Vintage-tan at 183 cm [6'0"].

Coleco Adam-tan: Timid, paranoid, socially awkward, and difficult to understand, but is polite and chivalrous. Some sort of freak of nature, her life force is contained in a printer she has to have with her at all times and she involuntarily emits electrical discharges that erase nearby tapes. She almost always has a bad hair day. Has been rivals with Apple II-tan since the 1980's and they're still rivals! Also carries a Cabbage Patch Kids doll with her.

I have some info, I guess...

OpenVMS-sama: cold and calculating, OpenVMS-sama was originally a promising DEC officer. She loves sharks, swordsmanship and leads a small faction of independant OS-tans. Windows NT-tan is her biological daughter (sorta), making all NT-based Windowses her descendants.

Multics-sama: emotionally complex, very intellectual and having a great knowledge of sorcery, she tended to be too complex for her own good-- much less powerful enemies were able to defeat her for the most part (most notably, her biological daughter Bell Labs Unix-sama). She can be the nicest person you hope to meet or your most ruthless enemy.

(Bell Labs) Unix-sama: an owlgirl, hot-tempered, very intelligent, she's a telented sorceress but prefers to use mind-games to injure her enemies. She has a rarely-seen soft side, Linux-sama being one of her closest friends; she is the daughter of Multics-sama, and all Unixen descend from her genetically.

That's all for now... i have a bed with my name on it.

Currently, I'm updating some articles in the wiki to get them up-to-date. Some of them are currently outdated, since the addition of more backstory that has yet to be written down at the wiki. :-\

Some more info:

Apple II-tan: A wise, witty, kind, hard-working, and down-to-earth farm girl. In place of the late Apple I-tan, she was, and still is, the de-facto mother figure of the whole Apple family. She is a great storyteller.

Apple III-tan: A pyromaniac prone to mental breakdowns and other instabilities in her childhood, and even when she did work hard to improve herself, she was still shunned by the public, and left the Apple family in shame, and lives on a remote island. As part of her self-redemption goal, she hopes to save the world someday. Wants to return to her relatives, but feels to ashamed to do so. :(

Lisa-tan: Was spoiled in her youth, suffered many misfortunes and a lot of loneliness. From all of her bottled-up grief, frustration, sadness and guilt, those feelings consumed and overpowered her and she lost the will to speak.

(note: By now, it's possible that Lisa-tan has recovered enough to cheer up and start speaking again)

Macintosh System 1-tan: Is the oldest of the Mac-tans, yet is the shortest, at a height of only 125 cm [4'1"]. She is feisty, charismatic, non-conformist (at least back in the 80's), but has a short attention span, gets distracted very easily, and has a one-track mind. Likes 1980's fashion, and wields a large hammer as her weapon of choice. Despite being the oldest Mac-tan, nearly all of them see her as a little sister-figure who needs to be cared for!

Macintosh System 2-tan: Looks a lot like System 1-tan, but is observant, witty, intelligent, sophisticated, and a little conservative-minded. She rants about stuff a lot and can do so for a long time. Same goes for her lectures. However, she gets ignored a lot and few believe what she says. This annoys her, but she swears that someday, she'll get the last laugh.

Macintosh System 3-tan: Cheerful, bubbly, very outgoing and has great social skills. Likes shopping and tinkering with electronic gadgets. Is klutzy (and in fact the least stable of the Mac-tans) and has a huge fear of bugs.

Macintosh System 3.4-tan: A very strange and baffling character. She is allegedly Macintosh System 6-tan's twin sister, but this can't seem to be confirmed or disproven. Was melancholy as a child, knowing she had no purpose in life. She left the family to redeem her pitiful life in some way; and now she's a very cheerful, strong-willed, bold and hotblooded daredevil who strives to live her life to the fullest, and to the extreme!

Make? Unless you really feel like it (which you certainly don't seem to, now -w-; ) I think we can skip out on those quite well.
Among the Windows-tans, all aside from 1.0-tan, 2.0-tan and Moseko have well-defined and canon traits/personalities; I propose (well duh) we go with the Win-quiz first off, and then go on as we like...as far as we want.

She is always playful and cheerful, but isn't afraid of anything. (This gets her into trouble often)

Just realized SAGE was on the list

SAGE-sama: Once a advanced and powerful system used by the US Air Force to control air defense operations.  Disdainful of any sort of personnel computer, SAGE alienated her only relatives with her attitude.  Since then she has fallen on hard times.  Left almost totally blind, severely paranoid, and neurotic by the general system shut down in the 80s she wanders trapped in an isolation of her own making.

Title: Lets make a "Which OS-tan are you" Quiz!
Post by: GTCD on November 11, 2009, 08:46:53 AM
lol the first question should be broken up to three. Let me try answering those.

When would you wake up?

I'll probably set up an alarm at 6 AM so that I'll wake up early on some occassions, but I tend to oversleep sometimes and wake up at 7. That's when I rush to school. o-o

How would you wake up?
Looks at clock, estimate speed needed to go to school, do the regular things, thinks what to eat, and hope for something decent. Go to school.

What do you eat for breakfast?
Probably never got the chance to eat to my heart's content, always drink chocolate and some bread then I buzz off. Still hungry though.

You're all set to go. How are you dressed, and where are you headed today?
lol you srs, school uniforms and school. I don't have a decent hairstyle, so I always mess up my hair and won't let it look nerdish xD

You're starting to get hungry. Where do you head for lunch, and what do you eat?
I'm very picky about my food, I just eat chocolates for recess, 2,3, maybe 4 packets of 2 bars of chocolates. When it's time to go home I'll buy those regular-sized breads and eat it  fast most of the time.  If I can't get that, I'll probably head to a store and eat instant noodles. Then I'll go home and eat a tad more. xD Hey I ate a little since breakfast.

The day is over, and you're back home. What do you occupy yourself with?
Pretty addicted to the computer though, but I also love to solve my Rubik's cube, trying to solve it faster and faster, 19 seconds is my personal best. Oh yeah shooting zombies in Counter-Strike is one of my favorites too.

It's getting late - and you're a bit tired. When, where and why do you go to sleep?
Hmm I'll sleep at an average of 11:30 PM, that's when I stopped using the laptop. xD I sleep at the bed durrr, sometimes on the coach and on the floor. I slept because I feel sleepy, no other reason than that.

You're slumbering nice and fine. What are you dreaming about tonight?
I just dreamt that there's a ghost inside my mum, with it's hand sticking out of her head o_O. DAMN CREEPY DARN YOU EIJIN WHY DID YOU ASK ME THIS QUESTION. Others are just, oh I just forgot.

A friend calls you in the morning on your day off, and asks if you want to join him and a couple of others on an outing. How do you answer him?
Ohh, I'd love to. But my mother probably won't let me. Never EVER went to an outing with friends unless it's school-related. Like those trips, harhar.

How do you spend your day off?
I thought you just asked me this. :|

You're visiting an imageboard, and see a post criticizing something you like. How do you react?
RANT IT, ANONIMOUSLY, sometimes. Or just disagree, honorably. If all else fails, ignore it.

Nobody is perfect. What are your greatest flaws?
Well I often get sick, and probably weak in some places. Just got a fever and cold. My knee makes a crack sound when I 'snap' it. Oh yeah I do have a low memory probably. My father also says I work slowly, oftenly.

On the other hand, most people have something they know is a good side. What is your best trait?
What does trait mean? :O Googling... Oh personality and such. I don't like talking about [i]these[/i] things, it makes me feel such a stuck up. Maybe I don't even have any good traits.

What is your favorite color?
What does this have to do with the quiz, anyway. Yellow, probably. I do find black really dashing, I always use them for backgrounds.

What is your quest?
To make the most of myself, be a memorable human that served a great deed to the world. Having awesome logic and psychology to manipulate humans and amaze everyone. I do want to be the fastest cuber, too.

Your name is... You DON'T NEED THIS INFO. But if you must...NO, my parents might find this site and read my posts! D:

Edit: Have a picture of myself xD

Just to put this here, what I found and concluded.

I took five different tests from different places and they all came up to Linux. The sixth one came up as Win 2k. Another put me as Apple OS X.

But when I took "What OS family are you?" I got The Windows family. I think if I combine them I get Win 7 Ultimate. Since I am using the Virtual PC, some programming software, really old programs, run a lot of videos, photos, music, BOINC and I don't really play games. I think that suits me.

Title: Lets make a "Which OS-tan are you" Quiz!
Post by: NejinOniwa on November 16, 2009, 08:19:36 AM
Well, I haven't gotten around to answers myself yet, so if anyone could help out with that it'd be pretty nice (I feel like I'm doing almost everything around these parts these days) - starting with the Main -tans is probably the best way to go. MAKE SURE to read up on their personalities and such in their Wiki articles (http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/) before you get to the answermaking, to make sure we work from matching profiles.

Those I can count in on this endeavour - let's get to it.

By Main -tans i refer to those I posted in the other thread as Category 1, meaningly:
3.1-tan
NT-san (Big NT, Mama NT, etc)
Inu-T
95-tan
Hacchan (Win98)
Secchan (Win98SE)
ME-tan
2k-tan
XP-tan (XP Pro, "Saseko")
Homeko (XP Home)
Moseko (XPMCE)
Visbou (Ninja Vistan)
Vistake ("Screw" Vistan)
Generic OSX-tan
MacOS9-tan/Sonata
MacOS7.5-tan
Linux-tan (Aka Penguin girl)
OS/2-tan

Possibly we could whittle it down to only the windows-tans above.
Oh, and it might be a good question to ask whether to include Nanami-tan on the above list - she should have sizeable portfolio.
Title: Lets make a "Which OS-tan are you" Quiz!
Post by: Siya on November 16, 2009, 08:38:18 AM
Pruning it down to just the Windows-tans sounds good for now.

As far as Nanami-tan...I'm torn.  The list will feel incomplete without 7 being represented.  However, it seems too early to say anything with any certainty about her.

Do we have a list of questions already or we suggesting questions with all of the answers already attached?
Title: Lets make a "Which OS-tan are you" Quiz!
Post by: NejinOniwa on November 16, 2009, 08:47:35 AM
That's the way I feel too about Nanami - and if we don't have data on her it's likely because there is no such data - and then we'll just have to make our own, based on what we do have, right?

Anyway, I suggested a question sheet a while ago:
Quote
ITT: Demon gets his ass off normal work and gets things done.

1: It's morning. When and how do you wake up, and what do you eat for breakfast?
2: You're all set to go. How are you dressed, and where are you headed today?
3: You're starting to get hungry. Where do you head for lunch, and what do you eat?
4: The day is over, and you're back home. What do you occupy yourself with?
5: It's getting late - and you're a bit tired. When, where and why do you go to sleep?
6: You're slumbering nice and fine. What are you dreaming about tonight?

7: A friend calls you in the morning on your day off, and asks if you want to join him and a couple of others on an outing. How do you answer him?
8: How do you spend your day off?
9: You're visiting an imageboard, and see a post criticizing something you like. How do you react?

10: Nobody is perfect. What are your greatest flaws?
11: On the other hand, most people have something they know is a good side. What is your best trait?
12: What is your favorite color?
13: What is your quest?

Your name is...

Et cetera.

Added after 1 minutes:

Or we could just use the "young/inexperienced" route for Nanami - it does fit.
