Qt3 stats?

Chart info is here (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=1182674&postcount=123).

There's a serious posting gap there. The Jasons are kicking everyone's asses. Get to work guys!

[Hawkeye Fierce]

I think if McCullough changed his name to "Forummaster McPostsalot" the discrepancy would go away.

[Tyjenks]

Man, I remember the days when I was ahead of McCullough back in the winter of ought-four (really have no idea). Now he has me by 10,000 posts. IN-SANITY.

[Njal]

Fortunately having a unique name I don't have to worry about such things.

[Rywill]

Yeah, there was a time when Tyler was like a legend of posting prowess. Those were the days, man.

[Orinoco]

Where do the Albert's fit on that chart?

[Hanzii]

Is there an opt out option?
I don't want people to see my posting stats, style and the gear I use while posting.

[Dirt]

I remember when Murph was #1.

[Robert Sharp]

Shouldn't the Robs and Roberts and Bobs be linked to one name? I think we'd have a better showing then. Plus, you'd have to get VegasRobb in there, and a few other Roberts that don't use their real names in their handles.

[Albert Woo]

and a few other Roberts that don't use their real names in their handles. That's true for the other handles too, but trying to include real names would require, like, actual work. : )

Even so, Bobs/Robs/Roberts are on the chart now.

[Gladguy]

Am I and my measly 1,000 posts included in the Brian group? 'Cuz I should be...

[tromik]

The Toms don't even have a place on the chart?

[Mike O'Malley]

The Mikes need to step up our game. We look socially inept.

[ElGuapo]

Woo hoo! I'm with the Jasons. So throw my posts in there.

[Patrick]

I just checked the members list for Pat/Patricks... I've never felt so alone before:(

[Damien Falgoust]

This may be the only message board that could actually have a group of "Damiens". DAMN YOU MR. NEIL.

[Dave Markell]

There's 29 Dave/Davids, but our grand total is only about 7x my count. Get posting, you slackers!

[Demon G Sides]

And.. The sole Justin/

[Ryan A]

Hey if Bob/Rob/Robert get to team up, surely the Ryans and Bryans should join forces.

[Machfive]

Hey if Bob/Rob/Robert get to team up, surely the Ryans and Bryans should join forces.

As a Ryan myself, I can't agree with that one. Bob and Rob are at least nicknames of Robert or derivations thereof. Ryan/Bryan/Brian share a common root name centuries ago, but nobody named Bryan goes by Ryan as a nickname. That's just crazy talk.

[XPav]

Man, I remember the days when I was ahead of McCullough back in the winter of ought-four (really have no idea). Now he has me by 10,000 posts. IN-SANITY.
I remember when I was almost rivaling The Great Jason.

Now, like Tyjenks, I'm a piker not even in the top 10.

[Funkula]

Could whoever's planning on maintaining this add another 10 (edit: 11) to the Robert column? If you like, make it 20 and that should keep it updated for me for a while.

[Funkman]

I'd personally like to see how the Funks are doing. There are a few of us.

[Mike O'Malley]

Where's the <adjective><animal> coalition in this ranking?

[Elton]

Where's the <adjective><animal> coalition in this ranking?

Indeed, where? I bet we rule.

Or if there are any other Eltons on the board, we should have a bar.

[Xaroc]

I'd personally like to see how the Funks are doing. There are a few of us.

You can add my total to the Robs and the Funks. :)

[nixon66]

And add a bit of Nixon to the Brian's (not that I add much...)

[Funkman]

You can add my total to the Robs and the Funks. :)

Damn you Xaroc and your awesome last name!

[Cosmic Hippo]

I'd say I was in the Jesses, but I think I may be the only Jesse.

[Albert Woo]

I'd say I was in the Jesses, but I think I may be the only Jesse.Well, you do get to be in the adjective-animal alliance, which makes a decent showing here. The number of members in the AAA is under-represented since (unlike the other groups) I'm only including people who've actually made a post. There's no way I'm going to look through all 130+ pages of the Member List right now. ; )

The Toms don't even have a place on the chart?
tromik, are you a Tom? : )

[tromik]

tromik, are you a Tom? : )
I am. "tromik" is a Le The Da Vinci code-style phrase containing my true name.

[Machfive]

I am. "tromik" is a Le The Da Vinci code-style phrase containing my true name.

If I solve this puzzle, do I get to boink Tautou?

[tromik]

If I solve this puzzle, do I get to boink Tautou?
You wish.

Tell you what, you get to boink her:
http://www.quandaryland.com/2006/pix2006/DaVinciCode1b.jpg

Deal?

[Albert Woo]

I am. "tromik" is a Le The Da Vinci code-style phrase containing my true name. And with that the Toms overtake the Mikes/Michaels and move within striking distance of both the Bens and Brians.

[tromik]

And with that the Toms overtake the Mikes/Michaels and move within striking distance of both the Bens and Brians.
Sweet! Toms rule, non-doubters drool!

[Kareem]

The Funks made it??? :P

We should have a category Nabeel and I - the weirdest sounding real first names.

[Hawkeye Fierce]

I should be lumped in with the Bens, but perhaps that's not kosher. :-)

[tromik]

Woah, woah, woah, woah, WOAH. Hold on.

The Entity, a group made of two people, one of them a Tom, has around 16000 posts, but the nine Toms, one of them a part of the Entity, only have around 14000 posts? WTF was Asher's postcount?

[Funkman]

The Funks made it??? :P

We should have a category Nabeel and I - the weirdest sounding real first names.

You got beef with the Funks? We may be a small group.. but we're scrappy.

[Albert Woo]

Tom has 8.6k posts, Mark has 7.8k.

[tromik]

The Funks made it??? :P

We should have a category Nabeel and I - the weirdest sounding real first names.
Can Kalle be a member?

[tromik]

Tom has 8.6k posts, Mark has 7.8k.
So you're saying the problem is the other seven Toms? Step it up, doubters!

[Albert Woo]

The Toms just received reinforcements from a pair of Thomases, and have eeked out a small lead over the Bens and Brians.

[Kunikos]

I am. "tromik" is a Le The Da Vinci code-style phrase containing my true name.

... and here I thought it was a slang word for a Toronto Irishman.

[Kalle]

Can Kalle be a member?

I demand my own group.

[Ben]

That's cheating, there are really only 2 Bens. I demand we only have to face 2 Toms.

[AndrewM]

I think the total of Andrew M.'s is about the same as the total for all Andrews.

[Talisker]

I think the total of Andrew M.'s is about the same as the total for all Andrews.
Yeah, we demand our own category!

[Robert Sharp]

I love this game. It's sad though that there are 4 times as many Roberts as Jasons and yet we are still losing.

[Albert Woo]

Yeah, we demand our own category! Done!

[tromik]

... and here I thought it was a slang word for a Toronto Irishman.
That'd be "Patty McBigsmoke." Which is an awesome forum nickname.

Edit: Actually, it'd probably be Patty O'Bigsmoke, right?

[Marcus]

I'd say something about the Marcus's needing to unite but there are only two of us.

[Lunch of Kong]

I can help if you want.

-Marcus

[Albert Woo]

Updated! What seemed like a once-insurmountable 10,000 post lead for the Jasons has been cut to barely a third of that as the Bobs/Robs/Roberts unite for a late offensive. The Marks debut in an impressive third place, and the Tims and the Jeffs/Geoffs also place strongly in their initial showings. A surprising surge by the Mikes/Michaels sees them moving up three places on the chart.

[Raife]

The Marks debut in an impressive third place, and the Tims and the Jeffs/Geoffs also place strongly in their initial showings.

Are you including all of the Elhajj incarnations in with the Tims?

[Albert Woo]

Naturally.

[SqueakyFoo]

Hmm.. not sure where I'd be in that chart. <adjective><animal> is close, but I've never heard of any animal called 'Foo'.

[Kareem]

SpoofyChop suffers a similar predicament.

[Peter Frazier]

We Peters are too taciturn for our own good.

[tromik]

SpoofyChop suffers a similar predicament.
It's pork.

[AndrewM]

I love this game. It's sad though that there are 4 times as many Roberts as Jasons and yet we are still losing.

Sad for the Roberts or the Jasons?


Thanks for the Andrew M splitout.

[shift6]

Time for some phenomenal cosmic power. I claim solidarity with the Marks. And if you want to get real saucy, add both my current and former usernames.

[Albert Woo]

I already added both of your accounts to the Marks yesterday. : )

[Dean]

There used to be deanco, but he doesn't post anymore, so I'm alone among deans.

And I just don't have the post count to make it on the charts (but posts like this might get me on someday!).

[shift6]

I already added both of your accounts to the Marks yesterday. : )
You are too good.

[tromik]

Sad for the Roberts or the Jasons?
Sad for one Jason.

[Jason McCullough]

ooooooooooh!

[Kalle]

What about one for the Real Men?

[Albert Woo]

With the newest version the Jeffs/Geoffs leap into a solid fourth place, and the Chrises and Johns finally make their (long-awaited?) debuts.

Real names (when known) are also being included, and those for a good portion of the top three or four hundred forum posters remain unaccounted for, so positions on the chart could change dramatically. There's still hope for all the Deans, Patricks, Marcuses and Peters out there.

[Hanzii]

What about one for the Real Men?


I was just thinking that:

Real Men = Scandinavians.

I'm afraid we'd still be in the bottom third, but at least we'd be somewhere.
(or we could join the unpronouncable names faction suggested... Kalle might not be hard, but most English speakers compare saying my first name to coughing up phlegm.)

[Albert Woo]

Well, I've been considering adding groups for both Scandinavians and Canadians. : )

[Kalle]

Kalle might not be hard, but most English speakers compare saying my first name to coughing up phlegm.)

Isn't that true of Danish in general? ;)

[Chris Nahr]

With the newest version the Jeffs/Geoffs leap into a solid fourth place, and the Chrises and Johns finally make their (long-awaited?) debuts.

There are 26 Chris(topher)s and I'm responsible for nearly half their total post count? What's wrong with you people?

[madkevin]

Well, I've been considering adding groups for both Scandinavians and Canadians. : )

Do it! It's not like the Mads are a big category.

[Hanzii]

Mads is a very Scandinavian name, so you can join us...

[Greedo]

My meager 300-something total can be added to the Jon/John/Jonathans

[Tyjenks]

Tybalt (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/member.php?u=1677) 0
Tyburn (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/member.php?u=1860) 0
Tyjenks (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/member.php?u=83) 7,667
TylerG (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/member.php?u=2987) 156
tylertoo (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/member.php?u=3831) 5

I certainly do not get much help from the other Ty/Tylers. Worthless bastards. You have sullied our good name with your lives that do not incorporate constant Qt3 postings.

[Squirrel Killer]

Do it! It's not like the Mads are a big category.
Maybe there should be a <apparently crazy> category with us and Captain Cookiepants.

[Enidigm]

Yea TSGs!

Whose the third? Myself, Troy, and...

[Mike O'Malley]

That would be an AWESOME category. Not just "apparently crazy", but also "gently touched". Come on, Albert, put it in!

[Troy S Goodfellow]

Yea TSGs!

Whose the third? Myself, Troy, and...

The Strange Girl

Troy

[Enidigm]

Awesome association, yea us!

I wonder if it's really her.

[XPav]

Yea TSGs!

Whose the third? Myself, Troy, and...

The Smoking Gun?

[madkevin]

I like the <apparently crazy> category. No offense to Hanzii, but if I'm being honest with myself I'm more crazy than I am Scandinavian.

[Gladguy]

Hmmm... see, when you start adding <insert pithy comment here> classifications, you run into issues where someone could fall into multiple groups. Like ol' madkevin here... he's <apparently crazy> and a Kevin. Which group would his posts count for?

E5... which group????!!!

[Albert Woo]

Updated!

Any more Scandinavians out there who want to lend their support? : )

We now have a Gently Touched group (O'Malley, stop reading my mind!) which only includes those who've been permabanned, so no wumpus or synic/Kunikos, etc.

I like the idea of an "apparently crazy" group, but that seems too nebulous, even for a jokey graphic like this. madkevin? Cookiepants? Cleve? Theo Rex? Toddy half the time and half the posters in P&R all the time? It's still under consideration though.

Hmmm... see, when you start adding <insert pithy comment here> classifications, you run into issues where someone could fall into multiple groups. Like ol' madkevin here... he's <apparently crazy> and a Kevin. Which group would his posts count for?

E5... which group????!!! True enough, and we wouldn't want to the chart to get too unwieldy. There was a similar dilemma with Xaroc as he was part of both the Robs and the Funks, so I put him in both. The Andrew M's wanted to see how they were doing in regards to the Andrews as a whole (as did I), so they're included in two groups. Similar reason for the Entity group.

Yea TSGs!

Whose the third? Myself, Troy, and...
That Strange Girl

[Justin Fletcher]

And.. The sole Justin/ http://www.justin-c-fletcher.com/images/coleman-demon.png

[Cosmic Hippo]

I still, and always shall, object to being lumped in with the adjective animals on the grounds that I swiped my handle from an album name (no offense, adjective animals).

[Mike O'Malley]

Is Tom Chick playing for both the Entity and the Tom teams?
Cause if so, he has to be 95% of the Toms' total.

[Albert Woo]

As many have pointed out, a lot of the groups are dominated by a single poster. McCullough accounts for 49% of the Jasons' posts, Nahr for 41% of the Chris's, extarbags for 52% of the Jeff/Geoffs', and Chick for 55% of the Toms'. It also turns out that shift6/voltaic and Asher account for 36% and 35% respectively of the Marks' total.

[Tyjenks]

Is Tom Chick playing for both ........teams?

I think that is just a showbiz rumor that has resurfaced since his work on The Office.

[quatoria]

Hey, if you ever update this again, assign my posts to the Mike's, since I am one. That should help. (blame Woo for the thread necro)

[JPR]

I'm a John, though I think I was still using my real name when this was originally compiled.

[Albert Woo]

I might do an update in a couple of weeks, so if anyone else wants to declare for any of the categories, just post in this thread.

[Nellie]

Brits, ambiguous gender nicknames, Nellies.

Something with me in it 'cos I'm a stat whore.

[Athryn]

I think that the chicks should have a category. Real or assumed both should go in there!

[Nellie]

There is a real woman category isn't there?

[Athryn]

I'm retarded.

[quatoria]

I don't think that's a category. Should be, though.

[Machfive]

Add me to the Ryans.

[Robert Sharp]

What the hell is with you other Roberts? I'm carrying a hell of a load here, considering there are 44 of us! How could we NOT have passed the Jasons by now?

[Jaysun]

McCullough makes up for my pitiful forum post count.

Go Jasons!

[McGraw McGraw]

If only there was a category for people with Mc beginning their last name, I could be somebody!

[Ryan A]

You ought to add a category to track the aussies and kiwis, but let them combine forces since both types talk funny and have toilets that flush the wrong way.

[krokodile]

I could be thrown into the Animal category, but I don't have an adjective.

A misspelling, yes, but no adjective...

[Robert Sharp]

You ought to add a category to track the aussies and kiwis, but let them combine forces since both types talk funny and have toilets that flush the wrong way.

They may talk funny, but there's nothing wrong with their toilets!

[Ryan A]

They may talk funny, but there's nothing wrong with their toilets!

http://www.snopes.com/science/coriolis.asp

Damn you and your fancy science!

[Talisker]

I'd be curious to see real names vs. aliases.

[theKevin]

This thread is useless without Kevins.

[Johan O]

Me, Kalle, Anders, Hanzi, Ivar, Ragnar, Shang, Sten, EvilIdler and Wheelkick are Scandinavians, I believe. I think I might have forgotten another Norwegian or two, but that is as it should be.

[Dean]

All the Deans put together still don't make it to the chart. deanco is back, but I didn't realize he had a paltry 300 some posts.

Do we have anyone with the title of Dean on the board?

C'mon, help a Dean out.

[Orinoco]

I could go in an ex-pat/Brit/Foreigner category. My real name could also go into the unpronouncable category :)

[madkevin]

I just assumed you were an Enya fan.

[Matt Bowyer]

You should add a list for Matt/Matthews -- I'm one, and while my total's pretty meager, we've got others that would help.

[Gladguy]

Add me to the Ryans.
I thought you had officially changed your name to Machfive. :-\

[Equis]

Is there an Asian category? Like from Asia.

I don't mind being lumped with kitsune, (or ... Dirt), but surely there are more Asians out here.

[Raife]

Is there an Asian category? Like from Asia.

I don't mind being lumped with kitsune, (or ... Dirt), but surely there are more Asians out here.

There are at least a couple of people in Japan, but are we talking about categorizing by ethnicity, home, or location? Dirt doesn't live in Asia.

[Equis]

There are at least a couple of people in Japan, but are we talking about categorizing by ethnicity, home, or location? Dirt doesn't live in Asia.

Hmmm, I think if we categorized by location, we might make the middle of the board.

If, on the other hand, we categorized by the slinti-ness of our eyes, then can we do a word count post; Kitsune might drag us up to match with the Jasons.

[Hanzii]

Hmmm, I think if we categorized by location, we might make the middle of the board.

Yeah, but he's really a big caucasian biker named Bert, who lives in California, so there...

[Nellie]

I just assumed you were an Enya fan.

I thought he was a Womble.

[Orinoco]

I thought he was a Womble.

And you'd be right.

[fuzzyslug]

We need to categorize by favorite color M&M.

[Albert Woo]

(Refresh the page to see the most current version)

http://www3.telus.net/public/awoo1/Namegame1.jpg

The upper bars in each data series are the current totals as of 1/02/08, the lower bars are totals from 4/10/07. The first number after each name is the total members of that group, the second number is the total from the previous version of this chart. Some user names from the older version have been recategorized.

Members can be included in multiple categories, e.g. all members of the "Andrew M" group are also included in the "Andy/Andrew" category.

The "Gently Touched" group only includes members who are currently or permanently banned.

The <Adjective><Animal> group only includes members who have made at least one post.

And the Jasons are still kicking butt.

[Kareem]

The <Adjective><Animal> group only includes members who have made at least one post.

So those within the <Adjective><Animal> category who have 0 posts did not have their 0 posts added to the total?

[Athryn]

[I] The first number after each name is the total members of that group

Why is there no number for real women? (awesome chart, btw :) )

[Raife]

Why is there no number for real women?

I think that's intended to be a mystery.

[AndrewM]

I think that's intended to be a mystery.

Because women are mysterious creatures, obviously.

I'm glad to see that AndrewM's are outpacing Real Women. We are few but we are strong!

The Banninated is a good category. I didn't notice that before.

Wow, why are there so many Adjective Animals? Weird.

[Angie Gallant]

I think it's so that the thread doesn't devolve into trying to make a list of all the Real Women.

[Albert Woo]

So those within the <Adjective><Animal> category who have 0 posts did not have their 0 posts added to the total?
The true number of members in the Adjective-Animals category is unknown for now. There could be hundreds of them, but even I don't have the patience to look through all 230+ pages of the Member List, so I only searched for those with one or more posts. : )

[Lizard_King]

The true number of members in the Adjective-Animals category is unknown for now.
We are legion. But clearly not legion enough.

[Talisker]

We are legion. But clearly not legion enough.
You're an animal-adjective, though.

[Njal]

Heh, if there's a Scandinavians category there needs to be a Canadians category.

[Lizard_King]

You're an animal-adjective, though.
O RLY? WELL *sputter*

[Equis]

And Asian.

We're getting our token grocery shops/laundromat roles in movies. I demand inclusion into qt3 stat counting as well.

[Ephraim]

Heh, if there's a Scandinavians category there needs to be a Canadians category.

If there were a Canadian category, I'd finally be able to contribute my awe inspiring post count to one of the categories. That would be nice.

[Kalle]

You're an animal-adjective, though.

King isn't an adjective.

[Tyjenks]

I think there are enough Tylers to rate inclusion


Yours truly 8,876
Tyler G 177
tylertoo 85

Although, it seems I have a bit of a lead on them. And we only beat out the Funks so you other two bastards need to get on it.

EDIT: And if there are any of the rest of you oddly named folks who are in our esteemed group, please show yourselves.

[Raife]

Also, make sure you add Tyjenks to the "Real Women" category.

[Talisker]

King isn't an adjective.
Yeah, you're probably right.

[Lizard_King]

King isn't an adjective.
I think I just assumed the Adjective Animal group was just a convenient categorization for what would be really messy if you start breaking it down into subcategories for parts of speech and word order. As usual, the only recourse left is impotent fist shaking at those damned Andrews.

[Tyjenks]

Also, make sure you add Tyjenks to the "Real Women" category.

Boooo.

[Aeon221]

The gently touched are pretty vocal.

[madkevin]

If there were a Canadian category, I'd finally be able to contribute my awe inspiring post count to one of the categories. That would be nice.

Yeah! Stupid Scandinavia! They think they're so big, but you know what? They're not.

Maybe Albert doesn't know who's Canadian and who isn't. We should do a "Canada, represent!" thread. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE... um, go back to eating doughnuts and poutine, I guess.

[UncleSmoothie]

That was in no small part due to Koontz, IIRC.

[Albert Woo]

I'm working on adding Canucks later today.

[Njal]

Albert should get a bonus Canuck post count since he's the one who does the work. Say x10 or something :)

[mono]

No other Josh/Joshua/nick-that's-based-on-a-foreign-language-translation-of-monkey people at Qt3? I feel so alone.

[Njal]

To be fair to the muricans Albert needs to calculate them by region with Seattle as it's own region.

[Jakub]

I should be on there. Almost 7000 posts.

Of course, maybe 1000 in the last 2 years =/

[Supertanker]

King isn't an adjective.

King me, you checkers-haters.

[Raife]

King me, you checkers-haters.

Verb.

[Mike O'Malley]

Shut your kinging mouth.

[ElGuapo]

We will never be beat. Eat our dust Bobs!

This post added to pad our count.

[Aeon221]

Shut your kinging mouth.

Shut your king hole?

[Demon G Sides]

I am in none of those.

I feel sort of left out.

[Albert Woo]

The Canadians have invaded the chart.

[Raife]

Wait, we don't get a defensive roll? They just get in?

[madkevin]

We all get +5 racial bonus against Americans.

[MikeSofaer]

King isn't an adjective.
King Cobra?
King bed?
King Missile?

[Njal]

The Canadians have invaded the chart.

Muahahahahaha, crushing all opposition.

[Raife]

We all get +5 racial bonus against Americans.

Well that certainly doesn't come from the French or the British. Maybe Inuit?

[Njal]

Well that certainly doesn't come from the French or the British. Maybe Inuit?

Cuz your last two invasions of Canada worked?

[Raife]

Cuz your last two invasions of Canada worked?

Hey man, I'm not knocking Canada. I'm just trying to figure out where you picked up these racial bonuses.

[Njal]

Hey man, I'm not knocking Canada. I'm just trying to figure out where you picked up these racial bonuses.

Hybrid vigour.

[Aeon221]

Cuz your last two invasions of Canada worked?

Dude, did you miss the part where we smoked all your shit in Toronto?

[Njal]

Dude, did you miss the part where we smoked all your shit in Toronto?

Dude, did you miss the part where we burned the white house?

[Demon G Sides]

The Canadians burned the white House? Or are you citing the English in that one?

[Ephraim]

The Canadians burned the white House? Or are you citing the English in that one?

At that point in history, the Canadians WERE the English.

[Aeon221]

Dude, did you miss the part where we burned the white house?

I said smoked, not burned! Lighten up, I hear your national plant is a great pick! Jeez! Gah! Ouch! Pizz! Woo! Bam!

Sorry, sidetracked by onomatopoeia.

[Demon G Sides]

Sorry, I guess I don't consider someone who has another country's queen printed on their money as autonomous.

[Ephraim]

Sorry, I guess I don't consider someone who has another country's queen printed on their money as autonomous.

Weirdly, this actually isn't the case. Queen Elizabeth II is, by one of those bizarre things that save face, not only the Queen of England, she is also the Queen of Canada. It's the fact that she's the Queen of Canada that makes her the titular sovereign here. Her Queenship of the UK doesn't get her anything. It's one of those formalities, but in point of fact, Canada has the Queen of Canada on its currency, not the Queen of the United Kingdom. Who happens to also be the Queen of a bunch of other Commonwealth countries.

[Demon G Sides]

Bah, Ephraim, I had a witty post about overthrowing your Queen and installing Pamela Anderson, but I got nailed and eaten by the Connection Errors.

So, in Summary: Get a new Queen :P

[Njal]

I would say something witty about get a new president here but your lack of a hereditary monarchy makes it moot. Go Elizabeth II.

[Fugitive]

Don't worry, there's an underground movement to revolt and install Scott Thompson as Queen of Canada instead.

Ha ha only takes another year and we vote in a new one. You have to wait for the stupid cow to croak.

I demand an American section! Darn'd uppity Canadians!

[Kryten]

Add to the Mike/Michael category please - we shall overcome! Of course, if you were magnanimous enough to add a Womble category, I could always be added to that instead :p

Our combined post counts would create an e-penis so big the Canadians would be forced to worship as something otherworldly.

[JPR]

We could do regional stats... Those Madison, WI assholes are always talking up their locality. I know we've got a lot of Austin/LA/Bay Area/Las Vegas/Seattle posters.

King isn't an adjective.
Someone disagrees with you.

I have that tattooed inside my lip. Not really.

Ooo, that would be weird non-representative distribution if we did do a state-by-state breakdowns. My 7k posts allocated to Nebraska would probably beat Kansas, Iowa and Colorado together. The Missouri folks could combine to beat me though since I believe that Steinmeyer and Asher are both there.

Fortunately for us we snuck a Canuck in to run this thing. And don't dis our queen or I shall have to come down there and wash your mouth out with soap.

[Raife]

And don't dis our queen or I shall have to come down there and wash your mouth out with Molson's.

Fixed.

And, suddenly, as soon as someone disses their queen, they pull out the "Don't make fun of our leader!" Meanwhile, they sit there and make jokes about Bush.

Sure, I don't support him, but then again, I don't support your queen either. Stop having double standards.

The Mikes have just taken a small lead over the Marks.

See, that's the nice thing about a Constitutional Monarchy. Our Queen is a figurehead. She's designed to be loved, a unifying force, because she has no actual power, it's all symbolic. The only people who don't like the Queen are people who don't like the monarchy, they generally have nothing personal against Elizabeth II herself. Our political leader, the Prime Minister, who happens to be Steven Harper at this moment, is regularly the target of animosity. Harper, specifically, is often referred to as "Shrub", because he's like a little Bush. He gets plenty of hatred sent his way.

So, to clarify: The Queen is not really Canada's "leader" so making fun of her isn't generally done as political humour.

[Demon G Sides]

Which is funny, because I"m pretty sure there is a group of evil men behind the Bush presidency, Dick at their head. It makes no sense that a single man can e so stupid.

Either way, tomatoes tomatoes.

We shall display our moral fiber by not resorting to meaningless, content-free posts that say absolutely nothing while droning on and on, repleat with typos and bad use of grammer in order tor retain our leed.

Oooh Molson's ick, that's worse than soap.

Go ahead make fun of Harper, he's a douche. THe Queen is above the fray and doesn't get flak. So stop accusing me of having double standards. Besides having twice sworn an oath to support her I am legally obliged to defend her good name (ok not really, or at least not against forum insults).

Add me to that one too.

I'm not sure what prompted the surprise New Year's Eve offensive, but the Mikes/Michaels have now overtaken (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=1182674&postcount=123) the Jeffs/Geoffs.

The "Canadians" category has been retired from the main body of the chart due to excessive butt-kicking.

I see that Erlands meltdown and the famous new years post multiplying error gave the Scandinavians a boost.
I hope you don't get disqualifyed for letting others play your account while you're sleeping...

I'm pretty sure Erlands girlfriend is Scandinavian too, so our stats should remain the same.
