Cronin's Law----The New Flood Drinking Game

Posted by: Kilroy
And I've heard of Twitch, who was he?

A spammer who's perma-ban was long overdue. Unfortunately, he was also one of the most prominent "rulers" of the flood. When he was banned, chaos shook the forums for several days as his underlings rioted.

From what I'm understanding, is it was like a mafia, and he was like the Godfather.

I'll be on my own side.

Kilroy, have you seen "Free Twitch" in people's signatures? thats a pathetic attempt at a petition to have him unbanned.

Idiots.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Banshee, under the system I proposed Joe Dan would never get the ability to give points. Just like the Floodlings and the rabid followers of popular fan-fic writers would not totally screw up the system because a)the Floodlings and said rabid fans would probably not get any points, and even if they did they would almost vertainly not get above 1 per day (or whatever the minimum amount of point giving will be) and b)You can't give points to the same person twice in a row.

  • 08.31.2005 8:21 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

yeah, and with all the "followers" he had, he would definitely be at a high karma level.

So, we should have it where only the mods can give out karma?

  • 08.31.2005 8:24 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

not sure what tsp means, but it seems like Ghandi's idea is pretty popular.

he was just an idiot. lets get back to karma, not perma-banned spammers.

Subject: MY GF HAS A PENZOR!
Text:
I was making out wither her and took off her pant and got poked by it!

How does someone get poular from doing something like that?

  • 08.31.2005 8:26 PM PDT

People in the Flood are easily amused, it seems.

Hopefully a mod or Sketch will see this thread. i wanna know what they have to say.

Ok so let me see if l understand karma. We all start out with zero karma. As we make good posts of good topics we get a good karma point. As we get karma we sorta "level-up" When we "level-up" lt shows people that we have alot of karma, or are respected. lf you say something stupid you loose some karma.

So basically, karma is like respect. Be cool, get respect. Be dumb, loose it. Am l right about this?

You've been a member that long an don't know what tsp means? Alright. I'll explain to the best of my ability.

Sometimes, you'll see that someone just posted in a thread. Say it was me. So, you go into the thread, go to the last page, and scroll down to read what I said. But, my post isn't there. So, you have two options. leave and come back later, or make a post. Making a post helps it appear. So tsp means "to see post." It's just to say that you are trying to make the post above you appear.
