Poll: Next Mention Bomb Victim
-
Continuing the discussion from Might I make a humble request...:
So there's a question. Can you tag someone as poll options?
Due to a request from @mikeTheLiar, we are considering discontinuing our constant mentions of him, especially since he has been such a good sport. To fill the void, we must have one or more replacements. Below are the proposed options:
- @skotl
- @blakeyrat
- @Nagesh
- One or more of the above, as seen fit.
- @skotl and @blakeyrat
- @skotl and @Nagesh
- @blakeyrat and @Nagesh
- @skotl, @blakeyrat, and @Nagesh
- Other: Please post suggested victim(s) below
- @FILE_NOT_FOUND
-
I volunteered myself at one point but that was when I was being sympathetic towards @mikeTheLiar and I didn't realise he was just being grouchy.
I'd also nominate Buddy too but that might cause trouble.
-
I still think we should give @error some love for his birthday with a fat load of notifications.
-
That's a special case.
-
@FILE_NOT_FOUND is found, seems like that is the winner here.
-
What a surprise. @FILE_NOT_FOUND
-
I have to admit I'm actually mildly surprised @FILE_NOT_FOUND is a real user.
-
Me too. Though i must emphasize the mildly. This is TDWTF, after all.
-
I was thinking of adding @Buddy, but those who haven't seen his/her/its posts wouldn't understand why.
I'm not really concerned about it causing trouble since @Buddy has already developed an opinion about this forum, and is trying to make us feel guilty, no matter what we say. No matter what we do, his/her/its mind is made up.
If @FILE_NOT_FOUND falls through, I say we go after @Buddy.
-
@FILE_NOT_FOUND was inevitable. I'm mildly surprised no one seems to have registered that nick in CS, however.
-
If @FILE_NOT_FOUND falls through, I say we go after @Buddy.
I'm going to say right now that I won't do that. It's fun to poke a stick at emotional retards like @blakeyrat, but I must draw the line at crazies.

Sometimes it's difficult to make a meaningful distinction.

I've submitted a request to the mods to have the option in the poll updated, since I've missed the edit window.
-
Why not @codinghorror?
-
That's what the Other option is for. I knew I couldn't come up with everyone that people would want to hit, so I just listed those that had already been mentioned as replacements, and threw in the Other option for good measure. You have an interface, so vote accordingly.
-
I'll second @codinghorror
-
I think we should use The Official "Likes" Thread to make this happen. Might even hit 1000 posts in there today if we go for this.
-
since he has been such a good sport
I am not good sport. In fact, I never play any sport other than watch from couch. Just keep that in mind @abarker

@Nagesh, having you on the list was not my idea. I just took the suggestions and made them into a poll. This would be a situation were the saying of "don't shoot the messenger" applies.
Also, mentioning me multiple times in one post only gives me one notification.

Shooting the messenger is how Genghis Khan, also called Taimurlung made his empire.
At one point of time, they were so sacred of Genghis Khan, that nobody send any messenger to him.Filed under: How could a cripple end up ruling half the world?

Bzzzt!! Wrong!

I'm not sure that crazy is the right word, assuming @Buddy wasn't trolling. Marxism doesn't fit into a normal brain without modification (of the brain, not Marxism), but the disconnect with reality that results seems to be selective.
-
Bzzzt!! Wrong!
Yes. You are correct. My history is now in need of a little oiling.
-
I have to admit I'm actually mildly surprised @FILE_NOT_FOUND is a real user.
TBH, I was going to register @FILE_NOT_FOUND, that's how I found out they existed already. I was kind of sad about it.
-

It seems to me that ought to be a special, reserved name, like @PaulaBean.
-
Who is the brave person registering with @FILE_NOT_FOUND ?
-
His profile background looks suspiciously like Kim Jong-Un.
-
I'm mildly amused by the fact that Discourse sent me an E-mail notification for @HardwareGeek's post which quoted @darkmatter (in the same thread!) which mentioned my name.
I've already gotten a notification for the quoted post, too.
-
Well, Discourse want to make sure that you are aware of every time you were mentioned, in a quote or not. As repeatedly discussed throughout this forum, Discourse needs help parsing.
-
By the way, was I right about your profile background pic? Is that Kim Jong-Un?
-
I've already gotten a notification for the quoted post, too.
You can think @codinghorror for that

It gets better... you can split usernames with html to delayed notify people when/if someone quotes you. It's like a hidden joke bomb for @FILE_NOT_FOUND that may or may not ever be activated.
-
Oooh, devious. It fits this forum perfectly!

How did you find this?

You must have missed it, 75% of my replies since last week have been delayed mention-bombs of different types.

@Nagesh, this one's for you.
Sometimes I just can't wait though and detonate the bomb myself.
I feel like a 5 year old at christmas.

Replying to yourself, how low have you fallen?

Lunchtime, and I've got this topic mixed up with the "Likes" topic.

On @codinghorror's discussion/forum software? Then you're doing it wrong©
-
I've got this topic mixed up with the "Likes" topic.
It does get difficult trying to keep track of whether I'm supposed to like stuff.
-
You got me. I am in fact Kim-Jong-Un.
-
@PJH Is this person really posting from North Korea? @FILE_NOT_FOUND said:
You got me. I am in fact Kim-Jong-Un.
-
Wow you believe that?
-
I wasn't suggesting you are. Merely that you are using his image as part of your profile.
-
-
Damn! It doesn't work.
-
You got me. I am in fact Kim-Jong-Un.
Using this logic, @abarker is a german shepherd mixed with wolf.
-
Nope, just pure-bred gray wolf. Though I used to be a bright orange bronco.
