The B I G posting challenge

Post by patrikG »

is already over, we have two finalists: twig and feyd.
Twig's postcount as of 09:36 GMT on 06.10.2004: 4877
Feyd's postcount as of 09:36 GMT on 06.10.2004: 4873

I bet a 100 pixel wide graphic on feyd beating twig today.
Odds are 3:1.
(so I'd get a 133 pixel wide graphic if I win!!! :D )

Unfair! You have posted on this thread, thus illegally upping your postcount!

This be your first and only warning!

Also, would the contenders please submit the doping-control sheets back to the CAP++ (Committe Against Post++ -ing )?

Post by phpScott »

if you keep encourging those two prolific posters(good job people) then how is my poor sorry little rank ever going to get any better if they answer all the questions before I get a chance :cry:

GO TWIG I know you have nothing better to do at the office today three comments per post at least.

I'll take you up on that bet patrickG. a 133px picture if feyd wins.

A scream of exitment eminates from the crowd as the match begins.

OOOOH! What a cunning move! While denying any involvement, feyd has disabled twig's internet access!

/crowd roars, some boo, some cheer, some whistle

This will be a dirty fight, ladies and gentlement. A dirty fight.

HOW will twig respond to this low blow?

set up an auto poster or something. go to the db and modify your post total, any thing. I don't have a spare 133px picture to spare.

Just received confidential information, that there has been some illegal double-posting going on! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, can you believe, ladies and gentlemen. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! We have a near foolproof system, but these two cunning contenders managed to slip past all the safeguards. That gives you an indication of what must be going on behind the scenes between the two and whether the rumors that feyd disabled twig's internet access are true. I've heard, on the other hand, the she put glue on his keyboard in return.

One thing is certain, ladies and gentlemen, one thing is certain: this is tough, this is a really tough challenge. Obviously the gloves are off for both contenders, obviously both are desperate to win. They'll do anything to be crowned: "Official CAP++ Postcount Challenge Winner 2004"

/turns to his assistant and whispers: "Remind that we have to choose a less crappy title for next year."

I have many. Most of them good-looking. And female. And programmers... ;)

Do I see anymore volunteers in the audience (points at phpScott)! AAAAAH! The man in the red shirt.
Very good.
/listens to something coming in from his earpiece
Yes.

Aha.

/turns to phpScott

Well, and: I hear you want to be the new assistant?

/presses his earpiece into his ear, looks to the floor

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADIES and gentlemen!
My assistant came back with an idea for a new title for the challenge (momentary score: feyd - 4901, twig - 4899. Given a correctifying correctifier due to double-posting and post-doping, we're still sitting at the edge of our seats! The new, and improved title is...

/waits for the drumroll

...is...

/no drumroll

GRR..err...is "OCAPOCHA 2004". Yes, you've heard that right.

/turns to phpScott

Speak after me: "Do you swear to write PHP, PHP, and nothing but PHP?"
