Vip awards

[denoir 0]

@ Mar. 30 2004,04:17)]Now there's an idea lol- what's odd is that because of this VIP patch I've never gotten to admire my shiny (and very l337, the chicks dig it I'm told) 5-star status  

Yeah, the stars are much cooler. The 2002 avatar is truly ugly. I don't recall, but it's quite possible that I was the one responsible for it (or was it Ralph? )

Harnu's is going to be much better.

i made the idea, and made screenshot and you resized it.

I concur.

Hats off to all the winners, and as JAP said, especially to Denoir.

I'm quite humbled I even got a mention in the freindliest poster catagory. Whoever it was, didn't read the posts from the days I got out of the wrong side of the bed.  

Well done to all.

Thx to BIS for implementing the new avatar. Looks very nice.

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

Good vote. I think the results reflect my tastes to 100%. That is how it has to be, doesnt it!

And the oscar goes to..

Let's get together and make Teh Crap MuD. Then nobody will challenge you for the title of Quirkiest Addon Maker.

(Laughs evilly, but everybody just looks at me strangely, so I shut up)

Ok, I downloaded the FDF mod like you suggested... but I have no freakin' idea how to edit the sounds, etc.

Oh, and... let's continue this discussion elsewhere so the mods don't come up behind us and smite us down with their Maces from the Land of Bannage!  

Let's continue it, say... at my forum? There's a thread posted there, already, in the General Board. But if you want to discuss via another way, just let me know...

Through PM! (Casts fearful glance at the mods)

Quote[/b] ]There are actually two components of why I do not want to be a "VIP". The first one I have mentioned already. I took a stand against it and right or wrong I'm sticking with it.

Thank you for being consistent, even when you're wrong. Not that since there was no rule on a mandatory minimum quorum of n number of unique voters, or % of registered members, or % of active within the last 12 months members, you are forced into the undemocratic position of compelling votes, or canceling elections and results. All Hail Great Leader Comrade denoir! Woe to the .001% who didn't vote for him!

Ok, so denoir, you are now obligated to fill the duties of your elected position, as there is no established proceedure for resigning partially. If you choose not live up to your title (counter to what you are doing well right now), then it is up to one of us to petition the mods via pm for a recall election. You should then contest the propriety of that, and promptly seal up the quirckiest and best debater double crown by the time that all settles out next year.

Quote[/b] ]The second reason will probably sound a bit more odd. I want to be 'regular' member denoir.

OFP-anon founder? Sorry, too late. Besides, I doubt there are many 'regular' folks here, which would actually make the 'quirckiest' catagory the hardest.

Quote[/b] ]The only thing I do these days in the OFP community is debate here in OT.

Which is why most of the other runnersup and I will never be able to come close to matching you in OT debate.

Quote[/b] ]Being part of a special group makes it more difficult to have a straight debate, especially with new users.

Bah. I went straight for what I knew to be the big cheese, because I had a bone to pick with you. Allies are nice, but you're still the king of the pile, and that still makes you the best debater.

I have to be frank and honest though, a lot of my points and rebuttals addressed to you were not significantly intended to be direct to you or intended to change your opinions, rather they were intended more to be in line with poking you get get you to write things publicly that I felt would either be unfounded or would help you argumentatively hang yourself, rather than have me try to do it directly in my arguments. If you were offended by this approach, I apologize and we can discuss it via PM some time.

I'm just one of those cheeky little punks that deliberately goes after guys much bigger than me. I guess I happen to enjoy the school of hard knocks. Gives me plenty of exercise too.

Actually, this time I didn't.

Not at all, without any challenge debating is boring. I really appriciate the resistance you've put up.

That said, this debate is really a no-go for me. If I start debating why rejecting the award was the right thing to do - and win the debate - then I will only reinforce the image of me being the best debater. If I on the other hand stay away from the dabate then the only opinion that will come through is the one that I should have not rejected the award.

[bn880 5]

And now this shows you are the best debater. hehehe

[shinRaiden 0]

Resistance is not futile, Gov. Tarkin...

[Tigershark_BAS 0]

Been away for a week and only just got back to the forums to this nice reply.

Wow....truly an honour...thanks to those who voted BAS and respect to the winners and other nominees. Community sponsored events like these always ressurrect my belief in the core goodness of it.

Thanks again. We will make a public statement of thanks on our website soon.

*bows to the community*

[Badgerboy 0]

Yay, someone voted for me! Thanks!

[toadlife 3]

Who the hell voted for me as best debater? I'm flattered. Congrats to all the winners - especially denoir, who still puts up a good debate even when he's 100% wrong.

Accept the damn award denoir - resistance is futile.

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

And placebo, since you are online. Hell you deserved that title. You are putting a lot of time into this forum and it is appreciated

[Placebo 29]

Thanks Albert VBS1 is in the mail

[Winters 1]

I am sorry but i still do not see how you can give an award to addon makers and not one for mission makers.

Without mission makers you would all be putzing around with addons in your editor and not be able to fully appreciate the true value of the addon.

So what if there are "Not enough guys making good mission consistently" there are enough of us to deserve a place in this. Hell the presidental election didnt have enough "qualified" candidates and it's still being held anyway.

This slight to all the mission makers is an insult and slap in the face to us all. Maybe we should all just stop making missions and then the community will appreciate us a little more.

So why didn't you suggest it while the awards were still in the planning stage?

I'm sure Placebo would have considered adding a new category...
