Let's not vote in an Anti-Bashy Forum, kay? | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Everyone seems to like the Anti-Bashy forums. Historically, people have tended to like Bashy’s forums. What is the probable source of the good Anti-Bashy forums?
Also, isn’t there a rule against copycat submissions? I see at least 3 anti-bashy forums, 2 of which are nearly identical in wording. |

I agree with you, actually. This week’s forum was one very near being “cut” from my list due to historical underperformance, but due to a shortage of forums, got submitted. I watched about three of my favorite, fun entries get what seemed like a surgical and purposeful nuking, so here we are.
I promise I’ll find time to write some newer, better forums soonish.
There do seem to be people who like this week’s forum, though, so… I guess to each his or her own.
Also also, I now have no balls and apparently am going to have to afford a new pair of shoes. |

When you offend a female, you’ll find that there are two diverging paths to resolution.
One path is to bludgeon them so severely that they forget the original slight or are physically unable to voice objection over it.
The other path is to buy them some shoes.
Only one option is legal =( Bashy edited this message on 05/18/2009 11:32AM |

I see other paths, many of which do not involve any expenditure of your resources at all. |

I don’t always hate Bashy’s forums.
I don’t blame him for winning, I blame the rest of you losers for not thinking of other good, funny forum ideas.
However I upvoted the Bashy Bashers just cuz I thought it was hilarious and I totally know I’d be able to write for it. *cackles and drywashes hands* |

Didn’t MST make a script that allowed a user to vote multiple times?
And yes, Fran Is Fat needs to be resubmited so it could win.
Also, if a “Anit-Bashy” forum wins, it would be easy to write for and I think some people can actually get a laugh at the forum. CrinkzPipe edited this message on 05/18/2009 12:14PM |

As for me, I liked many of Bashy’s forums. I’m just not a huge fan of ideas like FRAN IS FAT or now the anti Bashy forum. They tend to become less and less funny the more often you see them. There are quite some good ideas floating around that I would like to write for first. |

The new Bashy Beheader’s Brigade forum that’s currently winning IS a Bashy idea. The writing style is absolutely identical. |

Trust me, I have a lot more ideas for MathBlasters than I’d have for “LOL The Guy Who Wins A Lot Really Sucks!” as a forum. I doubt many will do as well as usual, because they’re math jokes, and it’s hard to aim for the LCD with math.
If the community didn’t like Bashy’s ideas, they wouldn’t be hard to nuke. The problem is that they’re decent ideas, and that’s why they win. We can debate submission counts and how buildr score works, but all the bumhurt over someone else’s success is unbecoming. |

I agree. I don’t have a problem with him winning.
I have a problem with the whiners not submitting anything better. |

I’ve never seen any indication of voting collaboration in regards to Bashy’s forums. And IIRC, ET has looked at past voting records and confirmed that there was no evidence of any such fraud.
Forums get more votes than any other aspect of FB. And from personal experience, I’ve seen overall vote totals (positive & negative) in the 100+ range. With that many people voting on forum ideas during a week, it’s going to be kind of difficult to have a significant influence, even if anything illegal was going on.
So, unless you can provide some kind of verifiable evidence (in other words, something other than a blanket bumumption), let’s not make baseless accusations. That borders on being a personal insult.
Having said that, I’ve personally upvoted most of Bashy’s successful forums. I upvote the ideas that make me laugh or seem like they’d be fun to write for. I downvote boring ideas. And I think that’s what most people do. Bashy’s had some great ideas, and he stays focused on ForumBuildr. And it’s paid off. And while I’m generally against the idea of ‘immortalizing’ a player in the game canon, if anyone has earned it, it’s Bashy. |

People, we’ve never found any evidence of cheating. The accusations are baseless.
The reason Bashy keeps winning is because he has good ideas, he writes well, and he studies what works and posts accordingly.
I’d rather not publish a Bashy-bashing forum. Inside jokes are lame. Do you really want to go through this, or can I bury them?
Besides, one of them has a typo in the title. Log in to see images!

You’re telling an admin he’s not allowed to axe a forum idea? The “in joke” forums may be funny at first, but have no longevity in the game, and will in fact look lame after a relatively short period of time. The result is that CZ looks bad for allowing them to be published. I say axe them now, and force the community to be more creative if they want to see better forums. If that means bashy wins again, then so be it. |
