huh

I wasn't aware of the new contest stipulation where the winner of our guru contest won the entire contest outright. Can you link me to that in the official rules, please?


Good job missing the point

I just don't know what possesses you to make sure everyone knows you know Palmer didn't actually "win" the contest despite submitting the best bracket.

Like, does it really bother you that much?

Surely Ulti doesn't care enough to actually think this.

I mean, I know he's obsessed with Palmer being a false winner and all, but surely he's not so pathetic as to go on this tirade simply because he's bitter that f***ing Palmer won a more difficult contest. Ulti wouldn't be so shallow to care so much about such a thing, would he?

Nobody remembers prize winners, prizes are a mere commercial formality that goes on in the contest. Nobody gives a **** about them and a sizable portion of the community aren't even eligible to enter for them. A discriminating factor like that makes it quite a lot easier to win a prize than it is to win the contest. The contest winner is the person who picked the best bracket, thats where the glory is and that's what people care about. Presumably Ulti is just sore Palmer won a contest and he could only tie one.

Yeah it's hilarious how butthurt the people here get over that subject, and the same predictable slew of people always try to pretend they're able to get under my skin over it. These are the same people who rank users like sports teams, hang out in UotY topics on Saturday nights and clearly picked the last option on this poll (http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3990) so you can cut the irony with a knife.

Basically, they jelly.

The fact people try pretending Palmer won a contest when the site's own admin says otherwise speaks to the unreal collective insecurity on this forum. "No one remembers prize winners" is bad trolling and little else, but what can you really expect from a virgin who lives in a country where the most famous historical event was a potato famine?

The most attention Smurf will ever get in his entire life are lonely people flocking to these topics for their entitlement fix, which is kind of hilarious.

The Invlado gate was different to this. One of the earliest occurrences of the "serious business" theme that crept into the board in later years and obviously still lingers today. This was far from quick and clean. It was in depth, twisted constantly, dragged out over months and just never really resolved itself. The decision to make the split-up public was an interesting one since neither user was widely significant at the time and their dealings weren't closely monitored or anything. It could possibly have never been addressed on the board and nobody would have noticed, but it was and this made it very much a board 8 issue.

Some clarifications should be made. I was already (in)famous for about a year before I got close to Inviso. Not a household name for the board like I became later and am today, but I was relatively well known. It was not the split that was really made public, stuff was public way before that, and that's the period when the board cared about it and made fun of me (for a good reason, for once!). The split was actually quieter in comparison (we argued here a few times, I guess), and the board didn't particularly care about it - if anything, they lost some potential future entertainment. And the issue has been fully resolved since the beginning of 2007, worry not. It's been 5 years now.

I actually think people take the board way less seriously, hence why there isn't all the drama and people "taking over" that you want so badly. No one cares enough. This comes with the board becoming older as a whole and having things going on in their lives. Not everyone can be superhuman like Ulti and go to work, go to school, have a family, f*** any b**** they want AND facilitate board drama.

I have an excellent memory of sigs, wouldn't have noticed otherwise. The only two contest first placers I can recall is yourself and Palmer both for the same reason that you've made a gigantic deal out of them. That contest tie was one of the proudest moments of your life judging by the amount of times you've brought it up and your reaction to people giving any sort of credit to Palmer for one upping you.

Also I have no idea why Ulti has such a strong need to be picky about Palmer's victory. People remember Ulti won a contest because he is Ulti but what Board 8 has always celebrated is the bracket predicting nature of the contest, which Palmer was undoubtedly the best at that year. He didn't win in terms of prizes but he won the predicting aspect of it, which is what most of Board 8 cares about. I think Ulti just gets in a weird frame of mind about contests and goes back to an earlier time of his life because he is really capable of being much more mature than this.

Alec tied for first in SC2k4, having lost only 1 point (lol Vyse/Laharl), and was listed first on the leaderboard for several weeks after the contest ended. However, his tiebreaker was 42, which though lucky, was 64,401 votes away from the actual final votes received by the champion, knocking Alec down to 3rd place in prizes.

~*~ 29. Master Moltar ~*~

On the side of the board thats purely concerned with the stats, not the social scene. I have no idea what kind of person Moltar is as I've rarely seen him veer off topics of interest to him but his impact and contribution to contest analysis for the past 9 years is impressive. His most notable contribution being the analysis crew, a long standing series of pre-match predictions and analysis which have always struck me as the official preview before a contest match. For many years they always of high quality, carrying well discussed opinions and views. The prediction accuracy was often never quite there but the read was always an entertaining one.

Points of Impact

-> One of the strongest all time gurus.
-> One of the earliest and most impacting stats discussing folk.
-> Leader of the contest analysis crew.
-> "Who would in a fight" style contest fanfic author.

The Poor Mans Moltar? - Lopen.
