Caraccioli Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Warning! This is a really cheap attempt at viral marketing from the makers of the movie The Golden Compass. (Even worse - it works because I'm posting this.) This looks to be a neat movie coming out this December in the sort of Chronicles of Narnia vein. A friend sent me the link which allows you to go to the page and determine your "dæmon." (A "dæmon" or "familiar" is an animal that is linked to you in a meaningful way.) To get to that part of the page, select "dæmon" from the tabs at the top and then select "Meet your dæmon" from the main page. You answer 20 questions and get an answer. http://www.goldencompassmovie.com Note: I'm not a big fan of the dæmon concept as "fact" (which some people seem to see it as being), but the concept works for me in a movie format. (It also worked well in D&D - one of the characters I played acquired a small dragon dæmon that gave me an extra attack during battles. So there's that.) My dæmon was a tiger named some gobbledygook and it said I am "Modest, shy, a leader, assertive and solitary." Actually, that's not bad from the way I see me, but then it was basically a 20 question personality test. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"

Capt. Sterling Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 FWIW: Another Tiger.... leader, assertive, responsible, shy, competitive "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The movie is based on the first of the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Phillip Pullman. They are basically his take on Milton's Paradise Lost. The books are aimed primarily at young people, but are actually a good read for adults. I enjoyed them. I got the snow leopard - similar traits to the tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I got a lion on the first try, and a hare on the second. Neither feels very representative, though. I have some friends (adults) who have been reading the series of books and enjoying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTom Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I got a rock. No, wait, that can't be right.... I got a Crow, named Thedra. My profile reveals that I am modest, solitary, flexible, inquisitive, and ...uh... something else, which I forget, since I didn't save my results. Deeply distrustful of giving advertisers cyber-artifacts of myself, maybe. Yeah, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Big on self-reliance and personal responsibility. Down on culture of victimology. Nobody owes you a thing and life isn't always fair. Spend a little more time being grateful and less time bitching and you just might find a smile replacing that scowl.
