What Type of Comper Are You?

in Compers chat corner
I was just sitting pondering about the different types of comper...

1. Hardcore/Avid - Gnarly hands/manic stare
2. Casual - "Yeah well I do a few a day....when I remember"
3. Happy - "Well I haven't won anything for the past 28 months but it is so cool YOU have won"
4. Bitter - "It's outrageous! I haven't won anything for the past 24 hours"


Now I know I fall into all categories depending on what day of the week it is and how much chocolate I've managed to lay my hands on.

I just wondered if there was any other comping "types" and which you folk would come under.

:) Just for fun of course no aspersions cast please xx

    Number 1

    I had comped in the past & won a few lovely things but had stopped almost all together when after 6 months I had not won anything.

    Then last October I got back into it in a big way & started being on here more & more.

    I won lots of really lovely things & I was truly hooked much more than I was the first time round

    6 months later I started to get involved in the forum side, & link comps, spot dupes.

    Then another 2 months after that I started to post comps myself.

    So I have not always been a number 1 but this year I have.

    Proud to be a Number 1

    Haha. That's what I thought. ;)

    I was tempted to put "happy hardcore" as that's a music genre (apparently...!) ;)
