Topic: Cast your nomination for "SMAC Forum DumbAss of The Year" Award.

posted 07-19-99 12:04 AM ET
Hello all,Some of you vets may remember me from about 3 months back. My newbie dumbass had a short lived flame war with Singularity. Since then I have been lurking in the forum, just listening. I thought I start this thread, well because I can. And because I think a few people in the forum are recognized as repectable and level-headed posters. So by the same token, I think we should also honor those who have done nothing but making this forum a pain in the ass. So, cast your vote for the SMAC Forum Dumb-Ass of the year Award. PS. Some of you may think that this post serves no purpose. And should belong in the dumb-ass category as well. All I can say is, I got my blow torch ready. So flame on.

idoesntfit. Just compare the two: -My post count and date of registration: 225, 04-05-99 -IDF's post count and date of registration: 269, 07-13-99The moral is: "Quantity does not equal quality" (boy, this sounded unmodest). Second place - Kalahari. Believe it or not, his idiotic posts delayed my appearance on this forum. LoD *wondering why this poll is almost unanimous so far* |

As a PS... who was it who trashed a load of threads with smileys? Was that Kapitan? If so, then he would come a very close second in the vote... but he disappeared very fast, whereas IDF has persisted long enough to win the race to DumbAss Of The Year. And what's more, IMHO, whoever IDF really is, he knows better and is therefore even more qualified for the title. Nell |

Itdoesntfit takes the gold. Mainly for his oh so original mix of being a prick, a really bad player, and trying to be sincere.A close second is Chrisk, absolutely the most abrasive person I've ever seen. So abrasive in fact, that CWAL HV adopted him as cannon fodder extraordinaire. |

Ok folks. This thread is getting some very good responce. But keep in mind. I am not counting the votes til midnight wednesday. So, anyone can still win. Even though it looks like idf is winning by a landslide.Allow me the open this thread up even more. What do you think the Dumbass of the Year winner should win? At this point, I'm so entertained. I'm welling the cough up my own resources and award the dumbass with whatever that maybe appropriate. |

I'd like to recall my vote for IDF. It appears he's offered a sincere apology at the ACOL site and if it is sincere I couldn't vote for him anymore. So my vote goes to Misho the Titoist(Not,the one from the Jackson 5 by the way) and his lame anti-americanism in the Non-SMAC forum. |

Definitely Karihari, for his mix of arrogance, his ludicrous religious defense of Gayphobia*, and his general manner and idiotic insistance that CtP wasn't a crap commerical ripoff. And this guy did not work for Activision - he was a total loser by himself.Sorry, IDF, but you seem more inept that truly irritating. But it's always last years release that wins the "All time best ever Album contest", so that's why you'll win this one. You do get my second place vote, however, for your fine work on ACOL. *Note: the word Homophobia is plain stupid. It means 'fear of identical'. That doesn't even make sense. Please stop using it. |

Is it really fair to pick Itdoesntfit yet? Shouldn't we give him a while to blend in? I remember when Alphaman first hit this site, he got on the nerves of quite a few in the Gen Topic Forum (not mine though). Alphaman eventually became fairly normal. Others fit this pattern too.Give him a month. Then, if he's still being an idiot, you can vote him King Dumbass. |

Imran: You wanted a beta disk of CtP? Why? Isn't your life hard enough already? Did you really need that kind of misery ladeled on top? You sick little monkey.And if Chrisk was beta testing CtP, that would fit with the all round performance of the game. Koshko: Alphaman never threated to wreck the Non-SMAC forum, he just some vaguely offensive stuff about geeks and virgins and so one. Perfectly normal behavior by internet standards - just ask HARDMAN. Itdoesn'tfit, as well as having the dumbest name on these forums (+ dumbest reason for having the dumbest name), made a total fool of himself on ACOL and posted dozens of pointless, irritating threads in the game forum. His fame is justified, especially under the title of DumbAss. |

Red Dog used to come along and just flame something for no reason then go away again. He was intermittently funny though, I remember in one thread he said SMAC should have a Pong option so you could put up a window and play Pong instead of SMAC. Made me laugh that one. |

I say vote for me. Don't vote for MCEscher. Probably a decent person in disguise.Here's why you should vote for me. 1) Because I think that Rosie O'Donnell does the best show on television. 2) I think that Bill Clinton should get his ass out of the news already and leave us alone. 3) I think that the babes at CNN have nothing on the ones at The Weather Channel. 4) I watch too much TV. 5) There should be more blood in computer games, in my opinion. 6) Would you trust me with anything you value? Didn't think so. 7) I'm desssss-picable. 8) I'm too damn cheap to even buy a girlie magazine, so I just use the Internet. 9) I've been known to spit on the ground, contrary to the laws of Singapore. 10) I enjoy using the cheat code in AoE that lets your catapults throw people. Do I win? |

This is the fourth resurfaced thread I've seen in 10 minutes here... it must be a vast right-wing conspiracy .I'd have to vote for Chrisk. I'm not vet enough to remember zorlath, and I only vaguely remember RIM-mer. HARDMAN was too humorous to be annoying. Iitdoesn'tfit, although he was very annoying, mostly started his own threads. Chrisk screwed up just about every single sci-tech thread... my favorite was "you remind me of the people I used to beat up in high school"... he probably never finished grade school . Note: onepaul apologized and admitted that thread bombing was a stupid thing to do. I'm not sure if sam spammer did or not. Kapitan comes in a close second in my vote because he bombed threads *and* posted offensively; sam spammer just bombed a few threads. Kalahari has only posted 8 comments so he's not that bad. I don't remember domk... |
