Board 8 > Leo3Leo introduces himself to the board AND wins UOTY in one fell swoop!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Imagine this, if you will. The setting is the User of the Year Battledome. I am an enthusiastic young spectator eagerly awaiting this year's e-pop laden carnage. I am clutching my Sir Chris pennant and eating over priced novelty popcorn. Who's going to win this year, I wonder. What hideous scandal has caused so many former champions to drop out?

But in my enthusiasm to get close to the action, I accidentally get swept along with the crowd of competitors into the fray! There are only two ways out now. Death, or to win. I may stand less of a chance than an obscure indie jrpg mobile game winning a contest on Gamefaqs, but dammit I've got to try!

My point is, I accidentally entered myself in UOTY, and I've been posting more often lately anyway so now it feels a bit weird to just lurk completely. So I thought I'd introduce myself! My name is Leo, obviously. I really hate this username! It's half the reason I lurk. I just mashed my way through account creation so I could enter a contest. Have you ever wondered who would ever use those awful "suggested user-names" you sometimes see when creating an account and your usual name was taken? Now you know someone!

I'm 21 year years old, a psychology major at a Canadian University. Future Law student. I enjoy coffee, wine,and sunglasses. I like fighting video games, and strategy non-video games. I fence. I occasionally hatch wacky schemes of dubious legality. I probably have other interests of some sort. I've lurked on this board for some time, basically viewing it as a collection of min-blogs instead of a community, not posting except to occasionally encourage a project I particularly enjoy. Until now, that is.

Post and I will give you my Lurker's Appraisal. Have you ever wondered if an invisible alien audience was watching everything you do? Do they approve of you dancing around your apartment in your underwear to Bon Jovi? Did they think that bad-ass one liner you said before brushing your teeth was both witty AND topical? If so you might be crazy. I mean, not you, dear friend and potential voter. But all those other chumps would be completely loopy! ANYWAY this would basically be the e-version of that.

Alternatively, you can post and we can just get better acquainted! Let's become good chums.

Good God that was a lot of words.

Glad to hear it! I'm afraid I don't have a clear memory of seeing you post before, but your sig is very familiar. What is the origin of that quote? Is it a quote from someone, or simply you expressing your penchant for quality truck driving based games?

It's true. Things may never be the same around this zany joint again. Nice to meet you, XII! Let's see, I definitely recognize your name. I think I associate you with...enthusiasm, Yes, I remember you actively discussing...something. Probably many things? Whatever it is, I think you did it with vigor.

And you! I swear I'm not usually so sycophantic, today is just a perfect storm of the unrelated "me praising Doom" (which you completely deserve) and "me name dropping you in this post", because I cheered for you last year! I enjoy Doom, but I also always enjoy your posts in any given discussion. They tend to be clever. And that's it, NO MORE COMPLIMENTS FOR YOU, I MEAN IT. Next time I see you I'm going to smack you right in the face and call you names to balance out all this praise.

Leo have you ever considered playing mafia? You seem interesting.

Hmm...I think I remember you having some sort of controversial opinion? But it's possible you were being facetious at the time, it's hard to tell sometimes when you don't know someone very well. Also, am I correct in saying you used to have a different account? I think I saw people call you by a different name at some point.

A lesser man would edit his post to fix that, or apologize, or claim blindness. I however will stick with this typo to the grave and play it off as intentional. You have to earn that 3rd "I"! Only when I respect you shall I call you by your full name, 12.

I enjoy Mafia in real life, though I've never played online before. Sounds like fun, I'll give it a try. How do I start, just search for "mafia" and post to sign up? Also, pretend I just punched you, you obnoxious jerk. Ok now we're even on the praise/diss scale. For now

That and this is the board we use to play the games now http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/575926-mafia

Your punch hurt me deep in my soul, leo.

Wait you are in my division I shouldn't be helping you get more popular.

... Oh well.

Haha, thanks! Nice to meet you. You're a name I've seen around often. The day I finally understood the difference between you and Ayuyu was probably a proud one. It's too bad you aren't that other guy though, because his Bioware topic is fresh in my mind, whereas I can't cite a specific topic of yours off the top of my head. But I have a positive vibe about you anyway!

SockoDeus posted...

The projects I like the best are generally ones that involve creative writing in some way. That can range from straight fiction to just detailed write ups of random stuff. I like to read. I also like the stats topic a lot, it's why I first came to this board. I don't know why, I don't even like statistics! Friggin' t-tests and what not. Your name is not familiar to me, but nice to meet you now!

Are you familiar with the concept of snow blindness? Light reflects off the snow that is constantly everywhere, searing the retinas of every Canadian. It's true there's no sun often, due to all the snow and general apocalyptic darkness, but sometimes the clouds part - which makes things even colder. So winter always wins. It's in between -30 and -40 at the moment. i am so cold. please send help

Excellent introduction. Welcome.

....Now talk about me and feed my ego >_>

but yeah online mafia is pretty fun. It's a lot more complicated and involved than real-life mafia, and there are usually flavor themes for the games and stuff. :D There are lots more roles, most of which would be too complicated to handle in a normal face to face game, and there's a lot more actual argument and analysis since it's through a text medium.

Wow, I was already planning to try it, but now I definitely have to! It sounds fun. I think you would get a better write up after we play some Mafia, as you seem to be quite the aficionado, and though I've seen you post, I just can't think of anything that isn't related to the LOTR character. So I guess I enjoy how you always post in poetic metre, and show up at random times, and get cut from the Board 8 movie to much fan uproar.

I think you could do well if you brought this kind of charisma and stuff.

It's that Zazi guy! This is not just an echo, you are someone who I hear referenced more by other people than actually see you post. I hear tales, whispered rumours of "the ZaziGuado". But actually I think it's because you enjoy B8 Chat, and my vision only covers this board. OR maybe I'm just unobservant, who knows!

masterplum posted...

Right on, I'll see you there no doubt. I don't have much of a memory about you, although I did see you post about not being in UOTY this year for some reason before you posted here - I thought it was weird since there were too few, rather than too many people nominated. If you want in, you should be able to get in! I mean, I'm in. It's just not right for a wacky newbie to be in and not who I assume is an established veteran!

Hey, thanks! Is your name Star Wars related? I'm afraid I don't recall seeing you post before. I realize that many of my write ups are this, or vague at best. I hope that's comforting in a way, it means I don't take detailed notes on everyone here!

Thanks! I'll vote for your senatorship when Canada inevitably gets annexed. I'm sorry for laughing at your pain, but I largely remember you for that Fr0q/Ngirl thing. That comic Fr0q drew is one of my top favourite board 8 produced media items. If you regard all that as water under the bridge, then I will also remember you for your ability to handle awkward situations with aplomb.

I shall check out this B8UCA, I've never read any of those topics. Sounds interesting!

Hmm, I'd have Britta higher, and probably swap Dean-Chang and Annie-Jeff. Not a big deal, though. Rankings vary, but that's not a bad thing. The important thing is that we both like the show AND that goose gif you posted earlier was pretty dang humourous too.

Haha, thanks! I've definitely seen you around. You seem like a pretty cool dude. I remember you from last year's UOTY as having a pretty notable run! And overall you're one of the users that generally has good comments in any given topic. A good voice on the board.

I am doing well, and hopefully you are too! Mafia seems more popular than I was previous aware. I don't recall you ever saying anything pro-Wiggum, but your character choice is sound to be sure. And I think as far as I know you have some sort of reputation for being especially nice? I don't know why I think that! I can't cite a particular example, but you don't appear to be UN-nice anyway?

if you like creative writing maybe you'd be into the rap battles, they're always fun

I'm glad you posted, I have a good write up thought! You see, originally I only knew of you in a fairly generic "nice guy who does lots of projects". But lately I've noticed a string of hilarious trash talking and verbal smack downs coming from you, in super hilarious fashion! I especially like your list of future Graveyard Stuffers. Not only for the HS reference, but t enjoy the whole concept quite a lot! Rap Battles are probably related to that, as well. Those are fun to read, though I nothing of rap. I think I'll try at some point though!
