What should be the "Newbie" greeting?

Post by jegs2 »

Many SB.COM types have utilized the "POKE" greeting, along with the various pictures that go with it. Others (like me) feel that the "poke" greeting should not be copied and pasted from SpaceBattles, but that SD.NET should come up with it's own newbie greeting. An example of an "imperial bitch-slap" picture follows, with compliments to Pantera:

So to the poll .... Feel free to choose from among the choices, or render your own suggestions.

Poking of course; all of the others sound like they involve physical pain. We should reserve the "imperial bitch-slap" for people that are acting stupid.

Shouldn't that be the Imperial Smackdown?

True: a lot of the people here cut their teeth on spacebattles before discovering this oasis of logic and reason. Plus there's no shame in stealing an idea that works. :mrgreen:

I thought that was the call to arms, not the actual punishment.

I don't care, because it's stupid, but it should be the universal greeting from Transformers: The Movie "bah-weep-granna-weep-niny-bong"

Force Lightning. It's the only attack. Besides, poking can hurt if you do it hard enough. Believe me, I know.

I say poke, because I remember using it elsewhere long before I found spacebattles.

Oh, a newbie greeting. That's, uh, original. And very stupid. Or something.

Lots of poking. We don't want to physically harm the n00bs. The greeting should't be violent, only be around as an excuse to bring up the post counts of the non-newbies.

Poke or Imperial Bitch slap would be fine. But I don’t care, I'll use whatever a want to, mostly either my atomic poke or puny mortal greeting.
