Battle of the E-Penis (Rd. 2 Matchup 3)

[XanBcoo]

You're considering voting for someone because some other guys like or dislike him on irc? If you have no experience with Arcness' bs, then don't vote him, otherwise this contest is meaningless. Try thinking for yourself once in a while.

And how about you start making some worthwhile posts? I see your entire image still just comprises of talking a lot of shit without making any sense whatsoever. Needlessly insulting everyone you respond to does not make a good argument if you're just gonna end it there without making a point. Go back to your sad life in the real world, come up with a decent post, and then see if you're worth something here, you insufferable troll. I'm away for half a week, and you're still shitposting. I'm really not surprised.

In any case, I'm voting Arcness, because in the end, e-penis signifies "reputation" to me, and the fact that Arcness clearly has a huge reputation for Gotwoot users means he's earned it through whatever means. SK on the other hand, can act like an ass, but really does nothing beyond that, and apparently doesn't have the reputation to keep it up without looking lame. Basically:

e-reputation = e-penis > shitposting.

And that's what I'm pretty sure this contest is about. So there's my logic, Animaniax. If you don't like it, quote my post, say "You're doing [action]? You're pathetic. I'm clearly not as much of a loser as you are, because I've just pointed out that fact." because that's all you can do, and I'm probably not going to read it anyway.

[Arcn3ss]

The thing with people like Animeniax is that they are attention whores. Ignoring them is far more effective then commenting on how much a troll they are. He's just lucky I am not a mod here. I would have banned him long ago. In IRC, I shitlist people for less. ( Go ahead and ask some of the IRC Users the reasons I sometimes ban someone.)

Gotwoot will be the same with or without him. He's just a troll, nothing special about him, nothing that sets him apart from other trolls before him. Unwanted and unneeded, I rather see him fade away from this place sooner then later, so I reiterate my ignoring him comment.

[SK]

This is a simple matchup:
Arcness Reg 2003
SK Reg 2004

Its that simple.

BTW Xancaboo you writing out that long post because this fag Animenacks made you look like a stupid asshole just makes you look like more of a stupid asshole.

[Animeniax]

This thread is about Arcness vs SK, not me being a troll or posting shit. My reply to Xan was an appeal to everyone to vote fairly, instead of band-wagoning someone to victory. I don't know how it got all blown out of proportion like this.

Arcness, think of me how you will in the limited interaction we've had with each other, but you might want to examine yourself and your trigger finger ban tendency on irc. Says a lot about you, and pots and kettles calling each other black and shit.

Yes well....typical voting systems are designed such that those with the predominant reputation applicable to the issues at hand should naturally win without being a motivational factor in the initial voting decision.

In other words, a candidate's popularity should reflect the outcome of the votes, not the base for voting. All you're accomplishing is further skewing whoever currently has the lead.

He banned me for putting "..." at the end of a sentence and he said "no ings" That was a weird day.

Yes but you seem to have an objection towards every single opinion made. You contradict others for the sake of being noticed.

If someone votes Haku, you give 30 reasons to not vote for him, so they vote SK and you give another 30 to not vote for him. What exactly is your goal?

Man, any other poll I'd be completely behind you on this, but I honestly considered what it was I was voting for and decided "I don't really care, and my choice seems like it won't sway the outcome" so I voted for Arcness because of the reasons I already said.

We're voting for the biggest e-dick here. Who cares what I'm skewing?

[Arcn3ss]

Assertn is just upset that i made him look bad infront of Nexy. :P

[Board of Command]

E-penis criteria:

- Ego
- Physical possessions (e.g. kickass computer)
- Skill/knowledge in some relevant field (i.e. an anime guru)
- Negative interaction with others (e.g. SK, Y, Animeniax, mage, Mutata, etc...)
- Perceived difference between real-life behavior and e-behavior (bigger the better)

Vote for whoever you think scores higher among theses criteria.

[ChaosK]

Is there a reason you waited until now to reveal the rubric?

Or you could....you know.....not vote.
Sometimes I think people just have too much fun clicking radio buttons.

[XanBcoo]

I also like clicking the "Go Advanced" button when I edit my posts.

It makes me feel like I'm actually doing something exciting.

I thought "e-penis" would be common knowledge here, but apparently not. At first I just brushed it off by saying "vote for whoever you want," but that has backfired as shown in this thread.

[joker-kun]

joker, referring to yourself as joker-kun is like referring to yourself in the third-person, or worse giving yourself a cute nickname. "Albert Eintstien" is "definately" rolling in his grave.

I'm sure Galileo is rolling in his after being compared to a puffed up moron like you. Cheers.

PS: Sorry I don't have as much time as you to proof read my posts on a forum. I thought I should say sorry now, cause i'm sure one day i'll be working for you in your global company. Since you know, being a lifeless troll AND having proper spelling mean everything. You've got to become something huge in life for that, right?

I think you're helping to blow my omnipresence out of proportion. I just suggested Xan not mess up the vote, the same as others have suggested. But oh, if I say it, it's a huge conspiracy and I'm a troll looking for attention. Whatever man. I don't even know who haku is. Let's get back on topic.

@joker-kun: Yeah, cause there's no auto spell check function on replies. Look for the little dotted red lines.

I wonder how skewed the results of this particular poll are, with people voting for arcness based on reputation instead of personal experience. I voted for SK, but since then arcness has shown some e-dickery, but in meaningless ways like upping my warning level or threatening to ban me on irc. That can't really match up against SK's relentless foolishness.

[SK]

Now that we have the rubric, I shouldn't have even been involved in this contest.

[Kraco]

If personal experience was needed in voting, I would probably never have voted in any municipal or national elections... Nor would have a great deal of other people, and the voting rates would have looked much sadder. I mean, how many for example in the USA could claim they had personally talked with both Bush and Al Gore before deciding whom to vote for in the 2000 election? 99% of people just decided based on their reputation and other things like party, etc. Same thing here. You just have to pick a name based on whatever, and that's it. And it's nobody else's business who is your candidate.

[Animeniax]

In an election such as you speak, personal experience with the candidates involves knowing his values and policies on the topics you are concerned about. That is all the personal interaction necessary for you to make an informed decision about whether to vote for this candidate. He need not have shaken your hand or kissed your baby for you to know what he stands for.

In this forum people interact via posts and irc chats, and personal interaction consists of reading what a person posts or says whether or not it is directed at you, and not necessarily a one-on-one conversation. If you have not read any of a person's posts or chat sessions, how can you make a knowledgeable vote for him? If not a knowledgeable vote, then why vote at all? Though it also doesn't work, that's why there's an electoral college in the US election system. Otherwise, Paris Hilton would be the next president of the US.

Btw, by this rubric, I should have won already.

Wow......that was really dumb.

- Perceived difference between real-life behavior and e-behavior (bigger the better)

If this rubric had been posted in the beginning it would have made all of this whole contest a lot easier and more entertaining b/c the contestants could have campaigned for themselves within this framework, instead of just intimidating everyone on IRC to vote for them or doing nothing.

Btw, by this rubric, I should have won already.

I'm interested to see where this goes. I say put up or shut up. You have plenty of ego and lots of negative interaction with others. But show us some evidence of kickass physical possessions, or some skills/knowledge/clout of an e-badass nature, preferably technical, but gaming or anime knowledge would work. As to differences between rl and e-behavior I don't think anyone would take your word on any of your claims on how you act in the real world so we should just throw that out.
