That would be RogueIce, Mister World's Greatest Detective. :P

I give a call out to my fellows in The Mess. You're the greatest bunch of people ever. Especially my Navy buds Tsyroc and Lonestar. Knife, Rob, Edi, Chardok, Kendall, Bean, Ender, ESB, Yoshi, Beowulf, Magi, Talen, Perinquus (did I get it right?), Coyote, Greg, Revan, Yenchin, consequences, Faram, HDS, jegs, and all the rest of you louts. You're a great bunch. Too bad we can't warp space and time so that we can all serve together. :D

Zaia, for being an all around nice person and being able to dictate what I should do in my personal life way better than I ever could. Were it not for her I would be in contact with two less people right now. Can't possibly thank you enough for that.

Dalton, you're an awesome guy. If I ever wanted an older brother that didn't spend his free time beating up on me, you'd be my first pick.

Mitth, DGG, and the rest of the Gnomes and BMs. Good bunch of people.

And a special hello to the Florida crew. Steve, Phong, and Dark. And our honorary member Maya. :D

I've recently discovered that I enjoy Petrosjko's posts. Im almost all cases, he's nice and well mannered. Though he does rank right up there in the 'I can't spell his username' category right along with Alyrium. :?
Feel free to call me 'Petro' for short.

Anybody else read through the list of posts and think 'Damn, I missed mentioning so and so'?

Knife being a big one on the list of 'so and so' people that I've missed so far. When I see a Knife post, I know it'll be topical and intelligent.

Second pass, let's see who else I can get.

Alyrium, an astonishingly intelligent young man.

'Rouge' 9, who is ever so understanding about the occasional typo of his name.

RogueIce, for, um... here's an attendance award.

Ghost Rider, for also having an evil kitten of doom.

Damaramu (hope I spelled that right) for having insufferably cute kittens who sleep together in a basket.

Cpl Kendall, brave and unflinchingly sincere.

Captain Cyran, interesting and fun.

Duchess of Zeon, articulate, intelligent, utterly confident. My heroine.

The Batman, I didn't mention him before. Or maybe if I did, mentioning him twice will get me another card. Somebody I love to throw a joke at, because I know it'll come back better than it left.

Bean! Jesus, how could I forget Bean! Bean rocks.

And Aya, who is cool when he isn't playing the Geshtappo Mod and torturing me. Revenge will be mine, again.

Destructionator the 13th, so much better than the the previous twelve editions. The 7th was especially problematic, not being housebroken and all.

Pass two completed. I'm sure more will come up.

Ah, now your just being nice.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

-Darthwong for making this board possible
-SeaSkimmer for making the HAB possible
-The HAB for kicking so much ass
-Moku because it feels so nice having someone assume you know enough to ask you questions about something (weather I actually do know anything about anything is another story but meh)
-Stravo because your fic kicks ass
-JME2 because your fic kicks ass
-The Mess for doing their part for the greater good
-The mods for wringing order from the chaos that this board would be without them
-Lusyanka for making this thread awsome
-Any writers that I've missed for making such great stories that allow me to get lost in another world and escape this crappy one that I'm in
-AcePace because he's always got something interesting to say on aim
-Falkenhorst because he's always got something disturbing to say on aim
-All those who've gone easy on me in my moments of stupidity
-Fgalkin for being the thread starter's muse and for having such great posts what with the classic "Have a nice day" following even the most scathing comment
-The old ASVS crew because I'm to stupid to work out news groups properly but I don't have you because alot of the best members of the old one are already here (plus you guys are partially responsible for "here" existing)
-Rye for being teh sexah
-Those that have helped me correct my stupidity (so basically the entire board :D)
-Those that are always ready to take me down a notch (a certain AI with a green avatar comes to mind ;)), because trust me, if you think I'm bad now, you'd hate to see me with a swollen ego
-The artists of the board because I've learned alot as an artist from your links/style/tutorials. I'm really getting close to the point where you can look at my work and not yell "AHHHH MY EYES!!!!" :wink:
-The resident females for putting up with the high ratio of men to women here that invariably leads to some unwanted attention

Well that's about it. I'm sure I missed someone so If it's you, just let me know.

2nd round:

Fgalkin - always a great guy

Sir Nitram and Lady Tevar - Knowledgeable and I just generally happen to like them

Keevan Colton - Always worthwhile posts, and I like him. Awesome knowledge about medieval weapons, I've learned a lot just by reading his posts on relevant topics

Stofsk and Chris O'Farrell - Another pair of great Aussies on the board

Petrosjko - Relatively recent arrival on my radar, but definitely a person whose posts are flagged as "must read", and he has style.

Oberleutnant and Lord Revan - Fellow Finns, and great guys both.
Warwolf Urban Combat Specialist

Round two, then.
-RogueIce, for being a sport about me attributing him having a quote of me in his sig to a completely different poster (I'm realy really really really really really really really really really sorry)
*gives ANOTHER GOTLF card to RogueIce*
-Patrick Degan, RI, Connor for showing me what REAL debating looks like,
-Vympel and SeaSkimmer for having military knowledge that simply defies comprehension,
-Dalton.How could I forget Dalton? Fellow Discworld fan, fellow Opus fan, and an all-round nice guy to boot,
-Edi, easily the most impressive european if not period N&P debater I know,
-Destructionator XIII, who (as far as I'm concerned) came out of nowhere and started arguing like a veteran,
-Glocksman, for the most rational pro-gun arguments I have ever seen.
-Alyeska, for the most rational pro-Trek ones,
-Shep,for the ferret if nothing else,
Shit. I think Keevan had the right idea. Minus the obvious trolls, you ALL rock.
@Petro: Nice try. No, you're NOT getting that card back.
@JME2 : No, neither are you. So far. :wink:

Everyone's nice here, but I'll mention a few.



InnocentBystander - For crushing my confidence twice in DoW tonight.

Rogue 9 - For letting me crush his confidence twice in our time playing DoW.

White_Pointer - Great teammate in that game.

Uraniun235 - Same as above.

Spanky the Dolphin - The only person on this entire board who doesn't address me as "Shin."

Wong - He made this place. Duh.

Symmetry - Only guy with seemingly an interest in Tsukihime besides me *sniff*

Superman - Pink foam. Enough said, period.

Hamel - Butt. And bread. Stale, not fresh. On weewee.



There's probably more but that's all for now. I love you all!! :P
What's her bust size!?

It is always a pleasure to read posts Kuroneko, Publius and ggs on their areas of expertise. Marina's posts are usually quite interesting as well.

The rest of you are great, I don't need to name names or leave anyone out :P

Fuzzy wins at life because he goes to my school and showed me sdnet, therefore unleashing me unto you all (now you know who to blame). And because he's uber-sweet and listens to me bitch when I get upset.

Elheru wins at life because him and I have talked a lot recently, and he's just an awesome guy, albeit random as all hell :wink:.


Walper wins at life because he makes a good Sith, and put up with my nitpicking on the infamous sith picture. That and he was a good sport on the nudgings for a nude pic, for the artistic value only :wink:

All my guys in the Mess... I'd cover your backs any day.

HAB for being so damn full of cool information hounds that I respect-- Vympel especially. I thought *I* was a Soviophile, hell, I'm 'the Little Golden Book of Soviet Forces' compared to him.

I have come to enjoy reading Elfdart and Kheevan, even if I don't agree with them. I have always enjoyed Shep's posts even if I don't totally agree with them, either.

I always enjoy exchanges with Zaia and the Duchess, any thread with them, Mayabird and/or Broomstick will be a learning experience.

I think Chmee has come a long way in the short time he's been here, I mean that in a good way, not smarmy.

I admire the fairness and coolheadedness of Dalton.
Durandal is a goddamn genius and I will always learn from him.

And of course, Mike "Darth" Wong the Uberlord, for providing all this and just being all-round outstanding human being. And his family for supporting him and his time with us. A big thanks to them.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Kind of hard. I had no confidence to begin with. :P And both times I had just maxed out my unit and vehicle meters and was getting ready to go on the offensive when you showed up. How do you do that?!?

I'd like to give a shout out to all my homies in the AIM chat. I'd be bored without the inanity. More importantly, props to the following:

Rogue 'Rouge' 9- For being such an easy target. We love ya' ol' chap.

Kalev-Without you, I really would be the creepiest person in the chat. Keep of the good work.

Fey- Because I'm the OEI.

Velvet- Because we treat you good.

Lindar-Because you're a verb now.

Superman- You promised to chokeslam an inmate for me. I'll dedicate my first piss in a sink to you.

The guy who was writing an X-Com fanfic. I can't remember his name but i enjoyed that fic and he even sent me a message to tell me it was updated, which was a nice thing to do since i' been away for a while and it had dropped off the radar.

All the people in the Writers Guild who haven't kicked me out yet, despite me not having got more than two chapters into either of my fanfics.

And finally whoever wrote the GSDA award ceremonies for having me present an award in them a year or two ago, that was cool.
