Current Events > PiOverlord's 2018 Best CEer tournament: Day 86

(+) Yeah! (+)

@Schwarz
@chill02

Hello everyone, let's have a little fun here today. Let's share both of Schwarz bios right here, as I have nothing of chill's to share.

Schwarz

- What is your favorite video-game?
Jeez, that's a tough one. Maybe Fallout 3. (Close runners up: Mass Effect 1, Bloodborne, Dragon Age: Origins, BioShock, Fallout: New Vegas)

- What future aspirations do you hold?
I'm old but unhappy with my current skillset/profession and I've been thinking about learning a trade. Possibly electrician. (Anyone got any insider info on this?)

- When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Veterinarian. I've compromised with my past self on this by petting as many cats and dogs as I can throughout my life.

- Are hotdogs sandwiches?
My gut reaction is to say no, cuz then that starts opening the door on questions like 'Are tacos sandwiches?' or 'Is a layer cake a dessert sandwich?'

And this is his original bio from round 1:

Schwarz

- What board caused you to create an account

Runescape. Started playing in 2003, made a Gamefaqs account in 2007, had a lovely time playing alongside the Runescape General Board up til I quit in 2015, and now I'm playing a little again.

Currently trying to get my cash stack to 1b and get 99 invention so I can wear my max cape again.

- What are your interests

Stephen King books, video games of course (current goal: single player plat Dark Souls 3), jewelry-making and leather-crafting, writing, synthwave.

- Fun facts about yourself

I live with a fellow CE lurker. Sometimes I subtitle Achievement Hunter vids for fun. I've got eight piercings and no tattoos.

- Do you have a message for the CEtizens of GameFAQs?

Guys, c'mon. Be nicer to each other, okay? We're all brothers and sisters on this planet.

Good luck and get voting!

Only one of them is still a CEer

Convince me to vote for you.

I'm just going to point this out before someone decides the need to point it out for me. Today is day 88, I don't know why I put 86.

Speaking of which, if I am to have round 3 questions, I'll have to think of them now, but quite honestly, I am wondering what I should ask.
---

Not chill
---

I really enjoyed chill's posts back before the whole whatever thing happened. I'm kinda sad he's not around anymore tbh.

If I win this tourney, I guarantee five hot dogs in CE's collective lunchbag.

Zurkon posted...

his bio makes me like him. Im getting into Stephen King books and Im a big animal person too

Hey, thanks! Which ones are you starting with? (My personal holy King trinity is probably Pet Sematary, IT, and the Shining.) I was thinking about posting a pic of my cat for the first bio but that just seemed like cheating. She'd unfairly sway too many hearts and minds.
---

I should've won this, and everyone who voted against me is mentally fat.
---

Sold I'm voting for @Schwarz

YES

Also update on round one bio: I got the 1bil cash stack and hit 99 invention.

Still working on DS3. Just gotta grind out 16 more vertebra shackles in the catacombs, jfc.

I don't really know Schwarz but chill02 really lost his marbles for real.

What would you like to know?

You mean they have a big brain?
---

Leana, not like this!

I think she was just trying to get suspended, maybe she wanted a forced break from CE, I know sometimes I did dumb stuff on purpose so I would have to be warned.
---

The Dark Tower series is great. It's not the usual King horror but I really think it's one hell of a story. The way it ties in to other books is an interesting wrinkle too.
---

Chill had a meltdown and rage quit it was hilarious and I will vote for the other user.

What would you like to know?

Just how to get started, really. Looks like it goes... take courses at a technical or community college (would an employer care about which?), then you apprentice for someone (do you just call an electrician and be like 'Yo, teach me, senpai'?) and learn and get your hours in until you become a journeyman. Is that right? Not right? Things I should watch out for?
---

Zurkon posted...

but the ending was awful.

I've never really noticed it, but apparently weak endings are kind of King's thing :P Needful Things was one of the first of his I ever read, it's a good'un.

All of that. Amazing, crazy epic. It's King's Lord of the Rings.

Do you work in a city or a rural area? I've been doing residential electrical work for a few years now. I'm not licensed, but in my area it's a decent trade. Certainly a shitload of work right now. Right now we're on the tail end of the rough work on a 10,000 square foot house.

Honestly, I went through the union. You pay your books, class once a week. You'll start on the job as well. 5 year apprenticeship, my state allows journeyman testing at 8000 hours so you could take it in 4 years.

You only pay for your books, no tuition and the pay and benefits are quite good. The apprenticeship training qualifies for academic credits as well.

I could answer in better details if you'd like on the tradesman board in my sig so I don't clog up this thread, or feel free to pm

First two are the front, the last one with the pool is out back. If the city you live in is pretty big, going union might be a good option for you. In that case you could possibly do anything from shopping centers to hospitals. I like doing the residential stuff though.

Dang, that's pretty cool.

That's quite the house

It's crazy how all the posts in this topic say one thing, yet the poll is so close.

it's crazy how nature do that

I should probably tag this
---

OH shit it's neck and neck.

To be fair, when chill was good he was really good and he's got that brand recognition I ain't got. I'm very, very surprised it's even tied like this. *gets out the popcorn*
---

I don't know anything about either

what I do know is that Stephen king books are so devoid of content that they are best consumed in 2 hour movie form

abstaining

Even if you are not voting in America's midterm, you can still vote for this close race!

This is close.

She committed account suicide over losing in the contest?

God I hope not, it would only show how thin-skinned these users are.

I must accept my failures, as well as my successes, with quiet... dignity... and grace.

sonofabitch bastard I'll get you for this!!!

Just don't throw a tantrum like leana did a few days ago because she lost :p
---

Is this still a thing?
---

Yes, my sleep schedule has been messed up though, where I have been sleeping through my usual start time.
