Aces High Writer's Awards.
Over the past couple of years I have spent WAY too much time reading what you all have had to say. If there is one thing that separates us BB posters from other AH players, it's that we all seem almost compelled to waste loads of time reading and writing about the stupidest things. There are a lot of good writers in here as well as a number of folks who can't seem to help but to show certain sides of their personalities. While I originally intended this post to be a salute to others writing abilities, I soon realized that I'm not as good as I had hoped at recognizing and explaining what makes so many folks stand out as writers. So naturally I let a good part of this thread digress to simply poking fun at people because that's all my little tard brain could handle.
Please consider the following list as the beginning of this Writer's Award Post. I am merely the first presenter, and many others deserve to be recognized. (Add yer own dang award if I left someone out!... Please) :
Most Distinctive/Funky Writing Style - Hangtime
Hangtime's slang laden writing often includes Yoda-like wisdom and poetic voice, mixed with the street sound of J.J. Walker and the brazenness of Mr. T.
Most Surprising That He Can Write Well (Considering Where He's From) - hblair
Sometimes after reading a flawlessly written post, I hear my mind saying, "Is he really from Alabama?!" (Sorry bud, but I just had to) :)
Most Compulsive Writer(s) - Ripsnort & AKdejavu
Over 10,000 Posts! Rip is a sick man.
If we counted by number of words, I would bet that Akdejavu writes more than anyone. Equally as sisk and adicted to the BB as Ripsnort.
Most Improved BB Writer- Fester/Citabria
Wha??? Think about it. He finally figured out that he's better off, and more respected, the less he writes! (Or did his CPU zonk?)
Best Pre Mission Write-Ups - Whitey/Break
Whitey was the Buccaneers last CO, dating back to our early Warbirds days. He passed away over a year ago. Only the old-time Buccaneers know exactly what I am talking about, but Whitey was most probably the best writer I have ever known. His pre-mission write-ups were very well researched and often could be as humorous as only good professional writers could hope to match.
Most Embarrassing BB Post Ever - RAMMJAGR
I'm still at such a loss of words, I just can't comment.
Funniest - Creamo
It seams that everyone both loves and hates Creamo for his zings, behavior, humor and anti-social tone. Try as you might to hate him, but he'll still make you laugh.
Best AARs - Sabre
Sabre's ability to blend WWII history with actual AH missions and a touch of fiction puts him in a league of his own. His After Action Reports often read like mini biographical novels.
Most Antagonistic Troller- Lazs
No one is more able to intentionally push so many people's buttons and elicit such amazing response by saying such outlandish things.
He's such a Lazshole!
Muchest Broke Engleesh - Fariz
Not a slam bud, just a tease. I'm impressed by anyone who can converse and write in more than one language. However, I often read Fariz's posts 3 or 4 times and still don't have more than a clue what he is trying to say.
Most Prolific Highjacker(s) - The Fat Drunk Bastards
Always a side discussion going on.
Most Worshiped Writing - Pyro
Unquestionably the most anticipated and read writing comes from Pyro. His writing style is direct and to the point. His word is our Gospel.
eskimo
And the next presenter is...

"He's such a Lazshole"
Oh gawd, you just coined a term. LMAO :D :D :D
-
Most Antagonistic Troller- Lazs
No one is more able to intentionally push so many people's buttons and elicit such amazing response by saying such outlandish things.
He's such a Lazshole!
Let me be the first of the BK's to respond at this most unwarranted disgraceful statement concerning our most beloved squad mate!
The above statement is the most disgr.... It was the most ludic.... Shoot. You can't be seri....
lazshole. Oh man, ROFLMAO.
I'm sorry lazs. That just struck this hillbillys' funny bone.
-
hehe, Funny stuff Eskimo. If you heard me on RW you'd know I'm from Alabama. :D
-
Give me an award!
-
Akdejavu,
Please limit your acceptance speech to 5000 words.
(Or provide a link)

Should there be an award for blubbering blubber-eater?
Hooligan
-
Eskimo: Minus beats Fariz 6-0. AFAIR he learned English from Amurrican TV-series... :)
-
LOL...excellent list Eskimo! I must agree with Staga on the language thing tho', Minus beats Fariz hands down. :D
SOB
-
Yes, Minus deserves that award
-
OK, Minus gets the Award, but someone's got to quote him first.
eskimo
-
Aw comon Eskimo, that's just a list of sterotypes. He who posts loads gets on the list.
What about the great Gunman26 and his.....er........well yeah.
Why didnt Ram get a mention for 'most I quit' posts?
What about the time my girlfriend hyjacked my account and posted that I......um......no, I think I'll shut up now.
Great list mate!
:D

Thank you Eskimo, very nice to get an award. Send me some beer with it too, pls. :)
Fariz
-
Why thank you Eskimo! I am speachless.. and feel honored.
Maybe a lil excited.
Allow me to pass the award on to somebody much more deserving of recognition... for his faithful depiction of humanity at its best and worse, and for his insightful commentary on the state of the collective mind of this community, a stickler for documented accuracy and the guy most feared and respected in any BBS debate worthy of the name..
Toad
And for their sharp incisive assaults against the P.C. Guardians of the Incredibly Assinine, I nominate two gentlemen who have my respect for having the balls to tell it like it is, no matter the subject..
MrFish, and Easymo
And lastly, to the guy I admire for no other reason than being a super-patriot republican with a super huge frothing basket of bile for anything clinton that can erupt in the most spectaular, creative and often hilarious directions...
Eagler
Gentlemen, I salute you all!

Most radical, hate filled zealot republican with a heart of stone and an apetite for death to match: grunhertz
death to the san diego area leftists comunist!!

LOL! That was hilarious
I just wonder how far back HiTech finished in the "Muchest Broke Engleesh" category. :D

"Hello. I believe I'm here to accept some sort of award? And I believe someone mentioned....a check?"
I think your post has induced some sort of internal injury! It looks like it really is possible to "bust a gut" laughing. :)
-
right on hang....
backatcha
:cool:
-
A word of caution, Hang. Pyro may have you killed, for bringing up my name in the general threads. I, myself, get very nervous, when i get north of cut 'n shoot.
-
Nice post. And some good folks mentioned in there.
I have one:
The Hooked on "Foniks" Award
None other than Hitech his bad self.
I wonder if he is constantly going over his "code" for spelling mistakes. My guess is if we all chip in and buy him hooked on Phonics we will see faster updates:)
edit note -- I had to re-edit as I had 2 spelling mistakes in that short paragraph. Sheesh!
-
Hang, I'm honored that you would even consider me in the same room with the man who posted so many truly funny word pictures. I still chuckle about the one where you and Hairball destroyed your apartment!
I'm not even in the same league.
-
Toad I gotta agree with hang.
There are those of us who banter to find out whats right.
Those of us who banter because we think we are right.
Those of us who banter for the sound of it...
And a few like Toad who banter because they can show they are right. Or at least how they reached their opinion...
-
but him hooked on Phonics
Better edit it again skernsk. :D
--)-FLS----
Musketeers

Awww... Toad is all smoke, mirrors, redoubt and my current favorite word - subterfuge. :P
Now WHERE THE HELL IS MINUS?! EH?
There was this guy that popped up on one of the flight sim boards maybe two to three years ago. His handle was Twinhit or Twinship or something. Now, Twinship's latest stuff (the last I saw of it, anyway) was pretty polished. Oh well. But his earlier work...
Early Twinhit. 90's Twinhit. CLASSIC Twinhit. THAT stuff was solid gold.
Minus, like Twinhit, has the unique ability to create works of art with the weakest of sentence structures, the most indecipherable of gibberish, the most awe inspiring departures from the realm of reality. If you read it too fast you will completely miss it or quite possibly throw yourself into a grand mal. If you read it too slow, catatonia wouldn't be a stretch. But at the right speed...
:eek: :eek: :eek: H Y P N O T I C :eek: :eek: :eek:
Zen-like is a better word.
"Lager diddly wished even diddlytoring though Lag warpning TeXAs conspirer my AS should BSer!!!! EvENer tim!!!!"
All of a sudden I'm left pondering stones, glaciers, the flow of streams into oceans, patience, the global ramifications of the flapping of some Japanese butterfly's wings, if the 'Eliminators' theory of underwater propulsion will wash and more importantly, where (or if!) in the junkyard will they even find a remote control.
It's hard to explain.
When I'm feeling down and I run across a minus post I feel... alive. Yeah... Alive. I'm left saying to myself "Nash, you are a good person. You have a lot of good qualities. You are a people person."
Minus has given me... hell, each and every one of us (for that matter) .... so much.
Surely we can find it in our hearts to honor him with a category that befits such a (dare I say) hero of the BBS.
Thank you very much.
-
"lazhole" I like it! Short, descriptive and droll with a core of truth. I am amazed that my blubber eating little buddy could come up with it
. See what you can do when you stop frothing at the mouth and think a little?
It won't be long now till we hear the dreaded.... "I hate to admit it but lazs is right" phrase fom our igloo dwelling friend.

*good selection of winners and funny topic! Eskimo saved the webboard this week! :)
-
Hmmm. Interesting thread. I always thought someone with any creativity and way to much time could actually really do a whole "family tree" of sorts of AH. This was a fun beginning though.
I was about to blast Eskimo for his Laz2 obsession of late, but it seems to have had a possitive result in the entertainment dept. (Thank God the "Laszie" moniker has been replaced with something almost entertaining). Not thrilled about my mention, it certainly should be "He reformatted and doesn't use WORD again." I don't have it now, you'll see.
Anyways, I'll ad my few topics without all the new hoopty BBS font stylings that were used quite well here. Maybe a master list will be posted when it's all ironed out.
Analmal certainly would wins my hands down "entertainment value posts of 4 or less words" of my short memory, but his fixation with Nath cancels out most of that. So SOB wins. No he's all happy and gay sometimes, and makes really relavent posts, so it's Laz2 by a nose. You take the sure amount of hate directed at him and he defelects it like teflon. Impressive. Laugh per post is damn near 4/5. Course I don't get 4 words into his gameplay changing posts, so I guess that's a arbitrary figure. Still, the bit about the gay and can he keep the flowers (something like that) was by far the funniest thing i had ever read here.
"Sappy poster of the year", Saintard. Duh. He is the guy that laughed at "Wanna hear a dirty joke? The pig fell in the Mud!" And pry pissed himself, spitting out 27 :) smilies in the process to his amusment. I imagine him watching the infomercial where they pick up a bowling ball with the vaccum, and just sitting there transfixed, amazed probably.
"I type with my toes" goes to TOWD, RIP. I really miss that mess.
Minus does win the "What the diddly is he talking about?" hands down. Never understood anything he ever posted, and I'm almost sure had it been translated, i'd feel the same way.
"Hooked on programming, not Phonics", duh again. Ryhmes with High-Tech. Or could be a whole new catagory, "Im to busy to give a fuk about a spellchecker dealing with you tards."
"Best Porn posts". Shoe-in, Masson. I know it's squad related, backs up the hijacker point. (good observation Esk, I wonder how stupid inside jokes must seem to everyone else.
"Master of the Obvious" award. Man, this IS tough. As many have been in the running, Ripsnore wins for posting every MSN news story we all read daily like we all have a laplink to HTC and a firewall from the rest of the internet. Impressive anyways for the sure determination to repeat what you might have forgot reading 2 hours ago.
"Ovenrunner Nazi". You would think Mr. Fish is a shoe in, but he sometimes makes sense of his views. I wish someone could publicise the real LW freaks that feel that way.
"Boozonical poster of the Year." No comment. I have to go with the guy's friend that left his computer on at a party though by default.
"Most Reformed". Ramassts. God, he was at one point sending pizza to HTC for a Dora, and then quiting for every new game that he thought would replace his love for AH, including WWIIOL and Barbie Beachhouse Bunker Invasion. The sure joy of making up names for his new callsign(s) became a Yahzee puzzle of comedy for the FDB's. And yet he came back and was actually civil. Impressive, like watching your kid go through puburty.
"CHEATERS! Accuser"award... Well, he reformed.
"Flash in the Pan" award. Hmm, I can't for the life of me remember the AW tards that came in like 2 drunks at your local bar when they just moved into town. Help me here. They caused a ruckess, they were just humiliated, and disappeared. Anyone?
"There is New News!" The master of the Obvious award I forgot runnerup, is i think, Westy. heh.
"Biggest Disappointment to your personal banter fun attacks (add your callsign here)_____") Mine is, the very respected TOAD. Had I thought goofing on the pilots carrying guns would have pissed him off so bad, I'd never of posted "YeeeHaaa Get em Marshal Dylan!" heh, sorry dude.
"I read his posts when I see them" goes to Kieren. Dunno, like reading them. Runnerup is Sirlion. Dunno why, pry cause Im trying to figure out if he is Beefcake, who just had me in stitches most of the time.
And finally, as I go back to trying to fix my whoopee MB which wont recognize my USB ports and has been crashing at will in Direct 3D games so i can't play AH and have time to respond to this, the "Biggest Dipshit Most Awful Unintentional Tard in topic, posts, and Sig" goes to.... The Tardster, I mean Tucksturd, I meant Tuck, or as he refers to himself, The Tuckster. I still can't believe he's not Animal making a big joke on everyone.
edit- Forgot a good one. "Most AWOL Poster" is definatley THUNDER. Man, the Pongo matches were good, and he was a good community guy. Ad hoopty graphic here.

It's getting better. lol Creamo.
Westy
(don't forget the "'Don't be GAY!' retort award" for yourself)

I believe that you are refering to arlo and rotor. Perhaps arlo took my suggestion about becoming a whacky and zany mime as opposed to being a whacky and zany AH poster? No idea about rotor's whereabouts
lazs
-
Damn, your right. That rings a bell, and the mime part certainly would explain the humiliating departure. I just couldn't peice it all together in their numorous, yet unmemorable threads. TY.
-
Oh, and at the risk of this turning into a daisy chain of backslapping like some kinda CT thread or gay bar LW gathering.... your post was better thatn the original award post. allthough... if you factor in the "surprized and stunned" factor, and add in "most improved" our blubber eating little buddie edges you out. Still... A rare and appreciated lengthy creamo ramble complete with garbled syntax and misspellings (at least I think there is garbled syntax and mispellings). BTW... when have you ever had (or used) a functioning word program?
lazs

hmmm it realy need explications there !!
first off all MY keyboard is usualy always broken have to push 3-12 time to get some leters, after change of the Keyb for brand new it survive around 4 days and is it again broken < wonder why is broken ? becose MAd minus smashing hamer on it >
well surely my english suxx ! but can show up in other laungages and they are not native to me , i em inaf hapy to speak 8 languages and i not have the need to write corectly in english , or any other i em not perfect ,
another problem i never control my text so it sometime looks realy out off way < logic ,broken keyboard can mees it realy up>

-
Better example could not be found!
PS - Yeah, I know English, an EU language.
-
Fatty, what the hell did minus just say?

I would like to nominate an All-Time Best Rant Awardee. Never in the written history of man have so many capital letters said so little. The generous use of exclamation points and the subtle bi-lingual use of comprende clearly set this writer apart from the crowd.

If you could READ and COMPREHEND, i responded HERE to the the moronic GLEE some people HERE take over the difficulties of WWIIOL(and OTHER GAME PRODUCERS) and the recent LAYOFFS. I think that SUX. I think that attiude is STUPID. COMPRENDE??
If you, as you say, READ AGW, just CHECK the DIFFERENCE in repsonses to the bad news about WWIIOL and the PEOPLE(some of whom i have talked to online many times, some in person, some i PLAY OTHER GAMES WITH every week) who USED to WORK there for a LIVING to the general NASTINESS posted at THIS BBS towards both WARBIRDS and WWIIOL.
Not only do AH'ers post their NEGATIVE DRIVEL here, but they do it at AGW AS WELL. That too, SUX. COMPRENDE???
I didn't say ONE WORD about the GAME ACES HIGH, which i happen to think is A GREAT GAME. A game SUPERIOR to WB's 2.77 but, IMHO, not FOR ME at THIS TIME. But the ATTITUDE of your PLAYER BASE sometimes leaves MANY of we WARBIRDS/AIR WARRIOR/WWIIOL ETC. PLAYERS gasping. Why are they SO NASTY and so QUICK to RUN-DOWN OTHER GAMES AND DEVELOPERS??? This turns many potential AH CUSTOMERS OFF.
Many POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS of YOUR company would like to see a more MATURE attitude in the AH ARENA, and maybe a DIFFERENT DIRECTION in GAMEPLAY than the one Aces High is currently embarked upon. BUT, that doesn't mean Aces High isn't a GREAT GAME. Nor does it mean that OTHER GAMES aren't as GREAT A GAME as Aces High. They are just DIFFERENT.
I post here in the "OFF TOPIC"(which i assume means UNCENSORED) AH BBS because i have ALWAYS considered myself a POTENTIAL customer of HTC. I don't POST NEGATIVE COMMENTS about AH in the AH MAIN BBS because that's STUPID, and UN-CALLED FOR. I LIKE Aces HIgh. If some of the morons who posted in this thread don't WANT me as CUSTOMER of HTC, i couldn't care less. They can kiss my ass.
HOWEVER, if YOU think i should take my OPINIONS(and by inference, MY MONEY) elsewhere, then perhaps i should RECONSIDER.....
IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU, SUPERFLY???

This post is over 20 hours old, and no comment from Ripsnort!
Is he dead?
In a coma?
Can he survive this long without checking the BB?

OMG, I'm hurtin from this whole thread so far, but this does confound me. Gotta give props to a man that can speak 7 languages though when I only know one phrase (cerveza por favor) and it's prolly not even spelled correctly.

Man...Minus is priceless!
Excellent post Eskimo....thanks!

Arlo and Rotarian,
They must be around here somewhere..

Thanks for all that you have added everyone, this has become a pretty funny thread.
Hangtime and Creamo, as expected your additions were essential and appropriate.
Minus - How have I possibly missed your threads? All I can think of is that I must have stopped reading your posts as soon as I became confused. IE instantly. Or perhaps I found reading your posts too similar to my work (I'm a first grade teacher, I.E. reading students' work). Or maybe my brain is equipped with a sub-conscious automatic French person squelch.
Seriously Minus, I salute you for your ability to speak and write 7.3 languages.
Raubvogel, Cabby44 certainly deserves an award, BUT i reaLLY wish YOU wouln't have POSTED his THREAD Because I read ½ of it and now I have a FRIGGIN HEADACH!

Humiliated??
Come on! Just because lazssie calls me trailer trash while Westy is sniffing him like a puppy trying to figure out if it is pee or poopoo he is looking at, doesnt mean I was humiliated.
RL has taken a toll on my online gaming life, and this UBB Sucks Purple Monkey Balls. I was planning a comeback in Jan now is maybe Feb. I am sure you are all waiting with open arms ;).
I stopped by because I was told there was an award waiting for me. Now, before I go, there is a small list of people to thank.........awe crap....the list is too long. Thank you all who contributed :).
Chao, Asta Luego.
-
"doesnt mean I was humiliated."
Well. You have to look at it from the other side.
Just the same. A well deserved award on both your part .
It may have taken months for the pay-off but all that effort to look foolish and idiotic must finally seem to have been worthwhile after all no?
Speech! Speech!
Westy
-
Pay Attention.............
Lazsie is out. The accepted term is "Lazshole".
lazs (who wasn't even wondering where you were)

Oh oh,
A "who's the biggest ass" pissing contest between Rotorian and Lazshole?
This could get ugly!

Standing afar back with a smile. But then again Rotorian might be too much of a sissy to challenge you Lazshole.
He can't argue much beyond his infamous baby-talk.

I think the TARD OF THE CENTURY award belongs to Gunman26 for the Gunman42 'incident' :D
p.s. has anyone seen him?
-
For stamina and consistancy in performing as a tard, gunmanXX is clearly the winner. However Crabby simply runs aways from the competition for the 'Pinultimate Tard Post' award.
Westy
-
Whatever happened to FDSS?
-
Man, talk about ommision. Sorry. Tuckster is still safe, but whoopee that's close to that mindless "Cow Quiz".
-
...I accept the Creamo award. The academy may have ignored me, but the artists' opinion is what really counts! :)
Creamo is perhaps the most entertaining of posters on the board (to me) with his combination of coarse wit and imagery. He can sum up in a few concise words the gist of any argument (something I can't do), and lay bare the parts of us we try to hide. A lot of times people get insulted by his posts, but if you really stop to think about them they are directed at behaviors, and usually are usually spot-on. Who can forget the classic "Chute-shooting, and tears as big as horse turds streaming down your cheeks"?
Read it here. (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12817&highlight=horse+turds)

Man! it stings not to have even gotten an Honorable mention.
Guess I'll hafta try harder.
-
What?! No mention of TheWobble(r).
"Why don't the shrecking BBS lightbulbs work!!!! Why doesn't
anyone answer me!!!!!!!!"
And of course who could forget the episode which essentially boiled down to:
"I'm shirtless, sweaty, my pick-up does 90 and I love shooting cans of riot-dispersing gas with my accident prone (but very rich) girlfriend."
Or:
"I'm American, I should not be booted by a bunch of squeaky gooks."
Simply the best and very close to my heart. I know there are others who feel the same way.
-
rofl dowding. I remember all of those. :)
-
Damn, I forgot all about The Wobble. I guess he's busying flight testing his 3/4 scale P51 :D
-
Can I have an award?
It should be something like: "Person who spends way to much time in the "Hardware and Software" and "Technical Support" forums when they should be working" award. ;)
I think Lephturn deserves an award too.
-
bloom25 definetly deserves an award.
But the king of roadkill will forever be remembered as someone who is eternally shirtless and sweaty.. owns fast pickups, big guns, and a beautiful gun-toting girlfriend.
-
But how do you all "FEEL" about DeeZeeCamp?
Have we forgotten him already?
-
Oh geeze... the DEEEZ. Yup, definitely another oversight.
-
Towd had a pretty distinctive style. He's returned under at least one fake name and it was pretty obvious.
Who was the guy who kept saying "chow" in parting?
Minus is great because he uses some strange words and spellings. But I still know what he is saying most of the time. And his passion for the game is very strong and obvious.

Most radical, hate filled zealot republican with a heart of stone and an apetite for death to match: grunhertz
ROTFLMAO! Great Animal thanks for the kind words! :D
Actually I'm a very nice person in real life, hard as it may be to belive with my posting style of late. But I do really hate communist left wing whacko stuff with all my heart.
-
Yeah but uncle Joe loves you anyway.
-
Being passionate about something is a good thing. Even if people think you're wrong at least they have to admit you honestly believe what you are saying.
I'm frequently scared of Grunherz's posts, they scream gun toting right-winger with an ICBM in his backyard.
I'd second Animal's nomination, but a little toned down :). You never can tell what a person is really like just from their posts.
-
Toad best debater? Last I checked he was pwnz0red by DMF.
Toad is less informed about the political issues he tries to argue about thus he tries to countervail that fact by making things up to back up his ostentous views.
kthx drive thru
-_-;;;;
-
I suspect you have TOWD confused with Toad, there Nath.
....at least I hope so.
;)
-
Todd definitely was more informed wrt the economics of the proposed Daschle legislation, but that does not confer an overall trend (ostentatious enough? ;)). I find Toad to be well considered- biased, perhaps, but we all are- but his thinking is sound and he is well-spoken. Add to that he doesn't feel the need to use any derivation of the word "own" in every post. ;)

ostentous

Actually, I think he now has me confused with Boroda. :)

But if you look at its definition, it is a synonym for "ostentatious"; further, "ostentatious" is the more familiar term, hence my red font. You did mean to call Toad's writing "pretentious and showy", right? Is it ironic to use a more obscure term to criticize another's showy writing style? ;)
Edit "its" for "it's"- man, I hate it when I do stuff like that. :D
-
Never use a big word where a smaller one will do.
