 and ill tell you one thing about HT and his staff, they dont really care about your complains. i have reported a few peeps and i know other guys that have done the same thing? and what happend? they dont really care . all they say is if you have a prob. go to the dueling arena . thats all so dont bother e-mailing anything to them and wasting your time. if you wanna fly solo go offline or go to a empty field far from the one where everyone is .




ps i even tried recording .. and what did i get ? NOTHING

Points given for incohenrant rambling, poor grammar, the use of the word "Peeps" and the generally useless nature of the post.

Hmmm....I had another thread in mind, but all results are final.

I am dissapointed that JoeCrip lost this one.
But at the same time it was a pleasant suprise; I know this guy in real life!

I believe WotW is no longer an honest organization, and I will stop taking it seriously.

This award belonged to somebody else, how much did they pay you Rude? huuh? HUH?


-edit-
i could swear there was a post made above this one. for some reason the guy deleted it.

No, someone had made a post about how he would make thousands of replies to this thread in sympathy for JC's thousands of check6 calls.

Then for some reason his post dissapeared, Bermuda Triangle style :eek:

I thought I finally had this award nailed... I extended eskimos simple post into an 88 reply long stream of crap (about a tenth of which were my own replies) and I don't even get an honorable mention?

I guess there's just no pleasing some people...:rolleyes:

Wait until I have another day's worth of time to kill...
Though once I graduate in May I won't have homework and studying to be putting off which is why I am killing time in the first place.

Rude, because others sometimes disagree with your choices, I wonder if a more objective scoring system might be fairer. So, in an effort to make sure all whiners get their just recognition, I would like to propose the following scoring system as a start:

Award 1 point for each use of the following terms: “vultch”, “HO”, “spit”, “NIKI”, “La-7”, “gangbang”, “uber”, “kill stealing”, and “chute shooting”.

Give ‘em another 5 points if the first sentence reads, “This may seem like I’m whining, but I’m not...”

Add another 5 points if the author got killed in the MA and immediately came here to whine about it.

Does the post mention the way collisions are modeled? If so, add another 2 points.

Add 1 point if there is excessive use of smilies, exclamation points and different colored text.

Add 10 points if there is an overall whimpering and sniveling quality to the post.

Subtract 5 points if the post is in the appropriate forum. For example, whining about a bug in the “bug reports” forum will cost you 5.

If all words are spelled correctly and capitalization, punctuation, and paragraph breaks are used appropriately, subtract 5 points.

Add 5 points each time the author contradicts himself or changes his story.

Add 10 points if the author flies Luftwaffe planes exclusively (on general principle).

Add 5 points if the author attempts to give advice to HTC on how to run their business. Add 10 points if the author tries to give programming advice to HiTech -- 20 points if such advice includes the phrase, “This would be really easy to program…”

Does the author show any semblance of a sense of humor or sarcasm? If so, big mistake—you loose 15 points.

Subtract another 5 points if the post contains a screenshot or film that confirms what the author is whining about really happened. But add 10 points if the attached screenshot or film actually contradicts what the author says happened. Subtract 25 points if it contains porn.

Subtract 5 points if the author cites research or documentation to back up his whining. But add 5 points if this documentation is a Hollywood movie; 10 points if the movie is “Top Gun”.

Subtract 10 points if the author is a real pilot and actually knows what he is talking about. 25 points if he is a military pilot. 100 points if he is a WWII veteran.

Add 5 points if the author threatens to beat up another player. Make that 10 points if the author also claims to be a martial arts expert.

Bonus points: Add 5 points each time the author posts a follow-up message repeating what has already been said without adding anything new.


SCORE:

< 5: may not even be a whine

5-15: average whine, don’t waste our time

16-30: impressive whine, worthy of notice

31-50: extraordinary whine, the work of a real craftsman

>50: an epic whine, a true masterpiece

Rude, was I atleast on your top 10 list with my 88's whine?

Post by: Rude on April 22, 2002, 12:43:46 PM
Please guys....it's a heartfelt thing. I don't cruise the bbs with eyes strained trying to find whines...I just read it for simple entertainment and from time to time WHACK...there it is....a whine.

To me, there is a difference between someone who is trying to discuss something that is important to them, ie. Lazs, and someone who lashes out with such a high degree of insane seriousness.

It's really the spirit behind the whine....not just the whine itself.

As far as scoring goes....I don't have the time:)

Wilbus....you're not a whiner man...just passionate about what you do:)

Cyas Up!

Hey Rude, can you give the award to yourself?  The above sure sounds like a whine to me.  "I don't have the time."

I was thinking the same thing....

I wish I had enough time....I would come out with "The Perfect Whine"...by Curval

You would find it in the History Forum (but then no-one would see it)

Sure. I think it would be good for business. You could write a program (I would be really easy) to continuously update everyone’s score based on their whining on the bulletin board and radio channels.

Oh, and that reminds me:
Add 5 points for complaining about how the scores are figured

Disagree. There would be entirely too much material to root through if radio channels were added into the mix.

BNM, you either cant read, or you are very very stupid. Where is the whine in that post?

All I did was state:

If you repeadly steal kills from me, i will annoy you with check 6's.

That's not a whine, it's a statement.

I myself would have voted for this one.  You see the whine is in disguise as a statement.  This is a clever deception but nonetheless a whine.
