I stopped in #NGdrunks tonight, but, altr was spamming up the place with pics and nothing was really going on. Heh, I even said hi to him, but that got lost in the picture floods.
I swear, _altr_ is one Severely_Crazy_Dude.

Myabe i will, but you knowing what i think about certain peope will severely limit what i can say to you in the future, so let me think about it.

Yup, once that guys drunk he rampages, which results in many iirc drawings he's made and "altrd", which are classy, sometimes. I remember him mentioning he had 30 odd beers to drink last night, so he probably did get a bit wrecked. If your not busy with your band shit, pop in now and chat, or even NGchat, its kinda dead as fuck just now, so you could possibly liven it up.

You are partly wrong. Proving yourself as a helpful regular isn't only for a month. The voters should consider a longer period of time (even though some of them have a short memory) and you must continue to justify their votes after being voted in unless you want to join the retired regulars' list :P.
I hate this when someone types: "I'm going to try this month".. that's not the freakin purpose of this list. It's not the best wi/ht? regular of the month award...
Congratulations to EKRegulus for becoming a regular. You're the first in always coming second. ;)
Thanks man.

Oh man, it reminds of some of my previous complaints, especially the one about the voters that didn't want to vote out their friends... and it did change the way that the voters used their out vote. I honestly thought that some people that received a high amount of votes deserved it. It proves that some of the voters do vote fairly but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the case for every voter. You can only make some suggestions to the voters about how to vote and what to look for but you can't oblige them to vote some specific people. It's their choice and you need to live with it.

Oh yeah, that's a good way to reduce unfair or unjustified voting. :) What's even greater is that the voting process and the list itself keep contantly improving. :P

I agree with you here Regulus, a user shouldn't souly post in the wi/ht forum to try and make their way onto a list or get into a club, i post here because i like to help people the best i can also i like the users here more than any of the other forums on NG. If i were to make a list one day it would be a bonus or reward, but not a goal.

I never said YOU specifically did i? You really really need to stop being so fucking insecure and get a grip. You know what, here's my evaluation of you'
EKRegulus. This dude is a regular poster in Wi/Ht? mainly in the stat topics which he is well established in (props to him) BUT "I" never see him help out in a new thread, if someone needs help, i dont see him post, this could be down to two things. One, im never online when he is online, so i dont see him help out at all. This is strange though, because i see him online most days. Two, he doesnt bother to help out at all, he's a stat whore, like the best of him (props again, to him, he's doing well), but doesnt share his knowledge of the Wi/Ht? forum with the people who need it most. Well, i thought id get that out there. Thanks for making me do it.

OK, let's clear this up:
1-Check the previous posts, I did respond on shorter topics many times. Maybe not as much as some other regulars but I don't ignore the NEW topics.
2-I won't reply to a topic if I don't know the answer or if the questions are already answered.
Why?
-because it's unecessary to respond the same answers many times to the same questions on the same topic. Right?
-replying with an inaccurate answer isn't a good idea and it's NOT helpful. It's mostly the opposite. If I have an answer but it's not the exact one then I might reply or I might hold myself. It depends on how helpful it might seems. I will usually hold myself if posting the answer/explanation/clarification/whatever isn't worth it.
3-I used to type a lot of trash into the general forum but now, I'm mostly replying to confused users that need help. I don't want to participate to the usual crap happening there. Of course, I still have some posts like "can you please update my sig with the rank icon?" but what's wrong with that?
4-Posting on huge threads doesn't automatically mean that I'm not helpful or not typing some information. I think that I did more help in these threads anyway.
5-Yes, I'm a statswhore and typing about stats is amusing.
but doesnt share his knowledge of the Wi/Ht? forum with the people who need it most.
I was expecting a few users to consider me like a simple statswhore that doesn't help. I might not be the most helpful user here but you are partly wrong if you think that I NEVER share my knowledge. Anyway, it's good to know what the others think about me.
Well, i thought id get that out there. Thanks for making me do it.
No problem.

That's great. Don't forget that some users in general also need help (how to deposit?, how to blam/save?, etc.). Too bad that most of the question threads (the ones that deserve an answer) on the general section get locked by a mod (I will keep the names into my head) before anyone gives a good answer to the confused user. Even worse, the mod doesn't answer to the question or gives a link to the FAQ and we all know that the FAQ isn't enough for many cases. The FAQ isn't complete (and never will be) and it's not always clear enough for a confused user.

A list? Any list? Then you should thank shittykitty and his several lists which already include you. That's a lot of bonuses :P If you mean member/regular/mod lists then you are right. As for the other lists (vp list, b/p list, etc.), they are rewards for your voting/reviewing/depositing dedication.

So there's 35 moderators now? Gee, I thought there were more than that (lol). No chance for the other lists getting first place in the 'totals' category but the 'averages' stat is a different story! Still holding on to first with the tenacity of a Pitbull.

Took me a couple years before i initially posted in the BBS, back when i joined NG... i was oblivious to what forums even were.
On a serious note, I browsed the BBS during approximately 2-3 months...
Wow, to me that seems a little wierd that you just read and not replied, i suppose you were probably skimming etc every time you came in to deposit?
A good insane guy :P
XD
Bah. I prefer to consider it as a bonus and as another interesting thread on this BBS' section.
Fair enough.
Wow, I usually read the opposite O_o. Thanks... I guess :)
Well, not from me. Some people take things too seriously i think. I find it mostly funny, sometimes insluting, but yet towards me, so i entertaining none the less. ^_^
************************************************
I liked the weighted vote idea, i think it is fairer that way honestly. People will think about who they truely want in and not just who the three they kinda feel should be in. It will make it more interesting and more serious in a way too. Plus, more challenging to get in. Sounds like it worth a try anyway, i think it should fly fine.

I expected you to say all that, and i guess its all true. I wouldnt consider it a personal attack, but thats just me, i can be a cumbooger sometimes. Right at the very start of the post i put the i in qoutes, so you would know its just my evealuation. And most of my fave users on NG are statwhores, infact, i would say all of them are, which is good, and its just me being a complete chode wanker.
If you dont know me by now EKR, you never will, if something bothrs me, or i dont like something, i will rip my hair out and then post about it. When i drink (most of the time) things seem to wind me up a little more, and i dont know why its this topic its normally happening in. Just chill dude, and ignore me.

Actually i help out quite alot in the General forum, answering questions that probably should have been posted here in the wi/ht section. But i know what you mean often a link tho the faq just isn't enough, and you cannot trust that the users with the questions will go there and read up, and your point about the mods is also valid, its true alot of the time threads do get locked before a surficient answere can be given. I think this is probably because they have seen it too many times to care.

I'm sorry if I made it sound like "I want to be a regular, so I'll try to get it" kind of thing. I didn't really mean it that way. I suppose I did as well in way, but what I meant is that I want to be a person who has the capabilities of a regular who can help people and show respect to others. I have found helping others to be fun and saying that has made me push myself a little higher. To me, that's a positive thing as I am helping others but it can also be negative.
Anyway, just wanted to clear that up. Hopefully I haven't said something I wasn't supposed to, as I usually do.
I'm sorry, but I see the talk of weighed voting in here. What does that mean? Am I completely dumb or is it several users placing one vote on a particular person to give them more of chance than another who might receive less votes?

You have in no way said anything wrong Alkador : ) there is nothing wrong with wanting to become a regular, im sure most peopple who post here and arn't yet on the list would love to be included on it. Thats not what i was arguing against. I was meerly saying that helping people just to make youself seem like a more realistic candidate for the regulars list is wrong. Which i have no doubt is not why you are here, i see you as a good honest guy who likes to help out newbies to NG, i hope our confusion is now cleared up : )
Anyway, just wanted to clear that up. Hopefully I haven't said something I wasn't supposed to, as I usually do.

Nah, that's ok with me. I'll be looking forward to list as I'm eager to see Rooty-The-Pie's progress in particular. Typing the story makes me remember everyone's names easily.
Oh, it looks like a shared account got some extra blams too. Ho-hum.
Just to let everyone know, this topic isn't going to stop.
I'll do the data pull manually, which isn't hard. Also, I'm doing a bimonthly update this month. That show got in the way of my posting, and thus, I'll just keep it in even blocks of time, so I'll get a mini to the regs on Wednesday around Noon.

I forgot to ask you if you had fun. When you got back last night, Otehr thigns were providing distrations at the time. You have a lot less people to deal with so doing it manual should not be that bad.

I wonder if it will change or not...
It seems that the elections are going on in a few days and I'm very confused as to what's happening and what data RC will pull manually and what not. I haven't heard much of any potential list or such and wanted to bring this to my curiosity.
