Imasockpuppet? Imasockpuppet!? Curse you addam...you have won. Well played. Even so, Neuro was able to get a 1001st post before I was able to lock it, so her name is immortalised instead.

Welcome to the third iteration of TUGOWU's Off-Topic thread. Any topics not to do with God Of War are to be placed here. So if it's not to do with the union/games, put it here.

Well, the posting time is ~:44 for both addam and me. We posted our posts at the same moment. At least that's how it seemed from my side of the screen ;)

There could have been up to 59 seconds between you though.

Alas, it's over, no win for me today.

The fact that neuro got post number 1001 is to her credit.

I have no idea who the "Imasockpuppet" person was. Perhaps they will introduce themselves in the proper thread one day.

I think I deserve some kind of award for the fastest creation of an account EVAR!

Playing fair? Vastly overrated.

The WIN was mine and it felt soooo good.

Did you have a spare e-mail for a special occasion, or did you have to quickly make one of them also?

What can I say, the gods favoured me on this occasion. All I can say is thanks to that mysterious poster, whoever they were.

neuro: Sorry for EDITing one of your posts in the caption competetion, I found it distasteful to do so. I was just trying to placate FMM and IQ. No hard feelings? It won't happen again.

snake: WIN slipping through your fingers? Sheer clasz. Just didn't have time to mention it in the race for the prize

EDIT

I just happened to have a spare e-mail, I couldn't have created both in such a short space of time. I got a little worried when I recalled you mentioning that you had a couple of "secondary accounts"

Thank you, and you did create that account fairly quickly. I do have a couple of other accounts, but I wouldn't have used them, I would have wasted a minute at least trying to remember the passwords, very convulted they were.

Question, now that we have powers again, does anyone feel like a new/different banner? Or is it just me?

I didn't aim at winning. Getting the 999th post was what I really wanted. I refreshed the page and there was the newcomer's 998th. Intending to snatch the 3 nines (an extremely symbolic combination, BTW) I replied immediately and to my frustration, when the page loaded there were 3 new posts, including yours added at ~:43, as well as addam's and mine both added at ~:44. Now, his post visibly preceeds mine but... his nickname starts with a and mine with n. Perhaps it's a factor, perhaps it's not. It could be that we had a perfect draw. But since there's no way to verify that I accept addam as the ultimate victor.

Blaming alphabetic order. That would do it.

Perhaps I should add a few extr "a" to the start of my name to make sure an aardvark never gets the better of me.

Nothing in mind, it just feels like the union's 'been reborn', and so deserves a new banner to feast our eyes upon.

I'd try my hand at it, but my so called 'designer skills' are lacking lately, and they were never great to start with.

Okay, guys. I'm requesting you put a little chunk of text at the top of your signature. Use mine as a teplate. (UNION Position - Username)da Leedah

Yeah, I agree. A Leedah, 5 officers and a recruit. A series of horrible mistakes is just waiting to happen and that we should avoid at all cost. So what both the leedah and the officers have this eye piercing, green/orange label near their avatars. It surely is not enough. I suggest the "little chunk of text" in the signatures is bright red or better flicking and repeated at least trice because someone might still overlook it :]

Old? And...? I mean, who cares? Not me. Besides, I don't pick apart everything he does. If I wanted to do it I'd have to write all the time. I generally ignore his presence but his latest idea is just so senseless and embarassing that I decided to comment.

There isn't a single rule in the TUGOWU rules that I broke with the previous post.

That's right, make me the bad guy for trying to end this fued. I don't want a part in this, but I'd rather not see things go down badly. I don't see a problem with his suggestion. Even if it is mostly pointless, what's the harm in it? Wasted effort, it took me less than a minute. I'd like to see this union flourish again, and if I have to acquiess to a few requests, fine. Whatever, I'm done with this topic with you. I don't want to alienate you, so I'm going to stop talking about this matter, and hopefully we can move on.

Well, I'm not that easy to alienate, y'know. And I don't try to make a bad guy out of you. I might be a bit surprised by your passiveness but you're right, there's not much to talk as far as this whole situation is concerned.

Compensation has always been a very interesting phenomenon. I suggest all non-officers, that is only me for now (?) have to add "the TUGOWU Officer" to the officers nickname while adressing one of the officers. Y'know, it'll help to distinguish you all from the recruit(s) even better.

So that's why it is yellow. I had assumed that it was going the opposite color that I chose because of being a link. I chose purple, not blue. And while yellow is not quite the opposite of purple, it is close. Once I get a finished sig, I'll do that too snake.

I'll alter yours and addams sign later, probably not today. I had originally used a solid background but thought it would look cool transperant. I imediately realised my folly when I posted it here.

Exactly, that's what the case was for the iceburg aircraft carriers. I'm not joking here, in WWII Churchill was having people attempt to create aircraft carriers out of ice. And not regular ice, but ice mixed with sawdust(the sawdust mixed into the water, then frozen), which was actually an extremely hard material. It would have stood up to torpedos, and would be like an igloo, so it wouldn't be freezing inside the ship like you might think. Another weird weapon that might have worked was the bat bomb. What it was, was a shell that would house hundreds of bats each with a small explosive attached(napalm). It was to be used against Japan for the invasion, and the shell would be dropped from a high altitude, and all the bats would be released, they would then find shelter in the outcroppings of Japanese homes, then 30 minutes later(about), the napalm would go off, igniting an entire city. However, it was scrapped before it could be used, because the Atomic Bomb had been invented and test proven.

In what way? I mean, TUGOWU isn't a widely recognized acronym. We of course know what it stands for but others? I think eye catching signature banners and some YouTube discreet, viral campaign would advertise this place more efficiently.

Good ideas there Neuro. In IQ's defence though, if we officers, and leader, make the rank signature a link to the TUGOWU home page, like I have, then it can work as well. However, without another banner/signature in our sigs, people might not be quite curious enough to check.

Yeah, the problem is that TUGOWU does not trigger immediate assocciations with God of War. Frankly speaking, when I didn't know what it is, it did not trigger any assocciations at all, well maybe with an exception of the Go game and on second thoughts some Chinese stuff (the 'wu' bit), however not spontaniously but forcedly.

Ask yourself a question, what would you think if you saw some user with something like this in his signature:

IIJAGU officer - Kerner

Well? Do you feel intersted? Do you feel like clickig the link and finding out what IIJAGU is? Or would you rather think, jeez, some guy uses the signature space to boast with his GS officer status... yet another kid who takes it all too seriously... the patterns analysed by Philip Zimbardo - ever real...

Hmm, discreet YouTube advertising, I never thought of that.

As I do not post at other boards I will not be adding the TUGOWU Occifer text
