He's got to retain the honour of having posted more than twice as many times as anyone else in this thread.

Well, if someone is talking or asking about me I have to respond.

Dauphin · March 18, 2003, 15:25

No, you don't. If you do feel compelled to respond perhaps you should try something informative, amusing or diverting in your posts, rather than obvious spam material you currently are using.

I don't expect any reply to this post, I don't want any reply, and if you do reply it is not because you are in any way required to do so.

Jon Shafer · March 18, 2003, 15:28

I fail to see how this post of yours is "informative, amusing or diverting." Does that make it spam?

P.S. Sorry for replying.

Dauphin · March 18, 2003, 15:31

I'm trying to give you legitimate reasons to post, obviously.

Seriously though, I don't see why people are so hung up on post counts or people who have high post counts. Its not exactly a great badge of honour.

Indeed. Quite the opposite, in many cases. I used to have a lot of respect for Trip, back when his PC was lower. But now...

(Not that I should be speaking, I'm not much lower than Trip on the top spammers list

But at least it took me a bit longer to get there...)

Jon Shafer · March 18, 2003, 16:15

Locutus: At least I play good games...

Not quite...

I've done a lot of stuff with Civ 3 Democracy Games, so if you haven't stopped by there you may not have heard of me.

You can see the bio that DC did of me here. Thanks to him for that.

P.S. I have nothing against CTP so don't hurt me.

Solver · March 18, 2003, 16:49

Locutus -

Trip - really, stop caring of your post count. I also had a much better opinion of you before

.

Bugs ****ing Bunny · March 18, 2003, 17:05

I'm always astonished anyone gives a bugger about post counts either way. They appear to bring out the most anal traits in people.

I don't really care what people think of me, though it's fun to annoy people. I really don't care about my post count either, it's just a good way to get my name out.

Especially since people like Frozzy seem to be so worried about it.

Boris Godunov · March 18, 2003, 17:22

What's this? My name not on a 'Poly list? How dull. Well, off to other pastures...

Nikolai · March 18, 2003, 17:40

You are a Prince Boris, and certainly not at the top 100!

No offence...

ixnay · March 18, 2003, 17:45

It certainly seems like other people are more concerned with Trip's postcount than he is.

Must admit that I didn't know who he was either. The only thing I can say after having looked over this thread is that I am soooo glad he can not read Spanish

Boris Godunov · March 18, 2003, 17:59

Leave Trip alone. I've seen his pics, he's kinda cute.

Referring to me, ixnay?

I only care when trip claims to be the second coming of mao. That sets off alarm bells.

Is postcount more important than your life trip? If so, I think that is sad.

Jon Shafer · March 18, 2003, 18:06

I never called myself the Second Coming of Mao.

Kass gave me the name in the chatroom a few weeks ago, and I had to pay him homage.

Quote:

[15:44] [Evangelion-Freak] I am Emperor. Trip is Emperor. The title is all that counts.

[15:44] [ColdWizard] above 2.5 ppd and you're a spammer

[15:44] [Trip] I'm halfway to deity :P
[15:44] [Evangelion-Freak] Halfway is halfway :P
[15:44] [Evangelion-Freak] Thoughj I must admit;
[15:44] [Evangelion-Freak] you're the Second Coming of Mao :P

C'mon obiwan, you know I was just kidding.

The only reason I'm here at 'Poly is because I have a lot of fun with the Demo Games.

There are others who have a higher post-per-day count than myself, and I never see any of them taking any flak.

Because you registered when OT post's did count, and you have now over 500 post's.
Sometimes I just feel that I simply can't spam, since I've been here for 2 years and still have under 300 post's.

Not a Civilization III player, are you?

BTW, DC when is the next HoF election. I want to make some frivilous votes.

Indeed, it would be interesting to know the date. I've voted for Trip in the past, I could actually do that again.

Quote:

True, this OT-spam is getting ridiculous... it's so sad that it must be stated in a separate post before people will understand that it should stop.

TKG isn't Finnish, DarkC, I hope you'll fix it before you'll forget it.

Dauphin · March 18, 2003, 18:59

I think Dark Cloud posted a few erroneous facts deliberately so that people would post comments about his list.

BTW, DC when is the next HoF election. I want to make some frivolous votes.

DarkCloud · March 18, 2003, 20:55

Just wondering, before this list, how many people on the list had you never heard of or seen post?

I had never seen any posts of Willems and had no idea who Henrik was although I had heard that he existed... but that's about it... knwoing 118/120 is fairly good I suppose!

Boris Godunov · March 19, 2003, 13:18

I'd never even heard of this list until you posted the comments thread this time around. Still wondering what the point of it is, though...

Wittlich · March 19, 2003, 13:27

I guess I shouldn't even be concerned with "The List" until if and when I make Emperor status.

Solver · March 19, 2003, 14:25

Well, I have heard of most, but know very little about most. I'm not an off-topicer, as DC knows well

. Mao is some guy I've only seen his post once, and it was very recently - this winter.

Nikolai · March 19, 2003, 15:47

I hadn't heard of quite a few of them, mainly in the lower end. Knew a high precentage though.

H Tower · March 19, 2003, 17:37

of the top 100, i don't know 13 of them. but i don't feel so bad since all the new one's on the list must be civ3 people, and the others were huge losers, so they probably don't post here anymore, and if they were in the OTF I'd have seen them by now.

Hey!

DarkCloud · March 19, 2003, 18:35

Although I love high post counts, etc. I do have to agree that Trip is really spamming here; although many of his posts are useful.
Then again, perhaps I am looking forward to him receiving a PCR as it will allow me to keep a better hold in the top 20 than my current situation merits.

Post counts, I consider, are the greatest thing to happen to forums.

I don't like posting at forums where I don't think I am accomplishing anything and post coutns are one way to seem as though you are accomplishing something.

...Such as?

As for the next HoF election- sometime in April... although not the first week... or probably the second- but maybe the thrid

Quote:

Yes, it makes me feel important

And I get more Posts for responding to these things

I think that posts are the most important thing on these boards- if posts ceased to matter, I would probably gradually disappear (much as I have in the OT since PC no longer counted)
I constantly check my post count and compare it to others.

and I thought I fixed the TKG thing?

Oh well: to fix (upload eventually)
