Board 8 > Vlado ranks 50+ Board 8 user gimmicks (now also on the Wiki!)

(+) Yeah! (+)

There were still some write-ups to be done, but the last topic purged. Mr Lasastryke had fortunately saved the contents, which I subsequently put on the Board 8 Wiki:

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Vlado_ranks_50%2B_Board_8_user_gimmicks

There is still work to be done, there are still a few nominations which haven't yet got their rankings and write-ups, so I'll do that here.

Nominations are also still open, so feel free to suggest gimmicks to be ranked.

And, for those who have missed it, here is the current number 1, Ertyu:

Nominator: Metalslugg

Sadly, I have to give up my crown. As integral as my journalism has been for the board in the last several years, even it cannot compare to Ertyu. From the earliest days of Dante praise and dislike for Kirby to yesterday's brilliant "heh heh ya" in the "Do you like Beavis?" topic, Ertyu has been the glue that makes this board stick together, the user who has always managed to easily grab the attention of absolutely everyone here and keep it as long as he wants to.

I can't list everything he's done for the board in so little space, so I'll just mention the most important - originating the whole Dante vs. Kirby debacle which still continues to this day, constantly running countless fascinating contests (including a few user contests which generated quite a few conflicts, Sess being the winner of the very first one, and the most recent one nearly driving XIII is cool to insanity in a vote stuffing race), the whole feud with Sess (his once best friend who later viciously betrayed him), his incredible Tornadolayzers comic series, his excellent drawings of game characters, wrestlers, etc. (including special drawings for every contest match), the awesome Ertyu Youtube channel which hosts his EWWL matches, game playthroughs, and once featured the most popular Board 8 show ever by far - The Ertyu Show, etc., etc.

Ertyu has always been an honest and trusting person, the kind of user everyone wants to see on a message board. Sadly, quite a few people have taken advantage of his trusting nature - I already mentioned Sess, and there have been cases of Anri leading him to believe he was really a girl who wanted to kickbox him, etc. Ertyu has such a big heart, he has forgiven all these misdeeds and continues gracing us with his presence and adding to the board's quality despite everything.

Do you now see why Ertyu rightfully takes first place? You know it to be true - he is the man, he is Mr. Board 8. Thank you very much for giving so much to our board and making it what it is, Trey!

26. Vlado thinking he's smarter than everyone else

Nominator: HanOfTheShinobi

For the record, I do not really think I'm smarter than everyone else (I do, generally, have a better idea about most things than most of the board, but it's far from an absolute), but hey, let's go along with this. I do often act in a relatively condescending manner towards people spouting nonsense on this board, especially in the cases when they actually believe it. It's not ill-intentioned, I just gotta make it clear to the rest of the readers when an opinion is wrong even if I don't bother to tear it apart. It's cool and it's effective - people often get irritated and hate me for this, so it obviously gets to them. My words that there's nothing personal in pointing out bad opinions often fall on deaf ears. I wish people would remember my words and try to improve their behaviour based on them (because my intentions are honestly the best), instead of being so defensive. Oh well...

12. Vlado's narcissism

Nominator: Caelus

Original wording: Vlado's incredible narcisstic raging boner for himself... oh yeah and something about journalism but everyone is distracted away from that by disturbing visualizations of naked Vlado locking himself in a room filled with mirrors and a sign on the other side of the door reading 'Do not disturb. I'm in my own personal heaven right now' and the sound of Vlado's own voice echoing seductively from an unknown source...

Nice way to put it, Caelus.

Yeah, I admit, I do enjoy being myself quite a bit. Possibly even more than anyone else here. Is that a bad thing? Quite the opposite - I'm sending a nice message. One must know one's worth and act accordingly. Love yourself and others will love you, as well! If you know you're awesome, if you got the confidence and you believe in your abilities, success is just around the corner. You should never accept any limitations because for you, the sky is the limit. Others matter exactly as much as you want them to. The universe revolves around you!

For some reason, most of the board doesn't embrace this philosophy, hence the bitterness in many people here whenever I display such behaviour. Most believe that this implies being a jerk to others and what not. I prove day in and day out that it is perfectly possible to combine this attitude with kindness towards others. Being aware of your own worth in no way hinders your benevolence. Just because I'm awesome and the centre of the universe doesn't mean I don't want people around me to be happy! Quite the opposite - the happier they are, the more I enjoy my own life!

So yeah, guys. Do not fight it, do not ever feel inferior. Embrace it!
