Title: LD's 5000th Post Giveaway!
Post by: Lizard Dude on February 20, 2007, 04:06:59 AM
5000th post! Woooooooooooo!

I now become the second Fungi Forumer ever to reach the big five oh oh oh. This place started as something to do while bored and waiting for my mom to take me home from her school room but ended up changing my life to a great extent. I made many awesome long-term friends, took a trip to LA, had a dude come to my house for a week of adventure, was inspired to make a bunch of cool movies and writing because I had an audience that could appreciate it, and probably own way more games and am way more of a gamer due to this forum. Thanks to Deezer for making it possible and thanks to all the members for making it a community. Here's to my next 5000 posts! Maybe I'll beat Chup.

With that said, to celebrate I'm giving away a free game of the winner's choice (MSRP $60 or less) assuming I can actually obtain it. The winner will be randomly selected from everyone who posts in this thread in the next week who registered prior to this post and has more than like 20 posts.

Good luck. :)

Wow, I'm only at Post 920, I believe. Still, I haven't even been here for a year. Congrats, nevertheless. Oh, and if we post here multiple times, do we increase our chances of winning?
Title: Re: LD's 5000th Post Giveaway!
Post by: Lizard Dude on February 20, 2007, 06:07:11 AM
No.

I just thought up a second prize. I'll give a second randomly selected person the CT of their choice (until it gets taken away by someone, which always eventually happens).

I wondered what you were planning with your 5000th post. This might be interesting...
Title: Re: LD's 5000th Post Giveaway!
Post by: Bigluigifan1.0 on February 20, 2007, 06:37:52 AM
That's awesome. It's pretty cool what a website and forum can do for a person.

And the deal here is interesting, I really doubt I'll win so best of wishes to all you other guys.

In keeping with the spirit of Wild and Crazy Kids, the prizes should be cumulative--i.e., 1st place also gets a custom rank change.

In keeping with the spirit of being TMK Pals 4 Evar, congrats!  Your speech was touching.

Hip!

Post by: WarpRattler on February 20, 2007, 08:46:02 AM
Congratulations, dude.

Considering I'm not even at 1000 yet, I'll be at 5000 in...5 years? Maybe longer? If I don't leave again?

Yes, Area 64. You already entered.

Ooh, I hope I win. I know it's random, but being as how LD and I are best buds, and have had so many great moments over the forty years we've known each other, like the gladiatorial soapbox derby/deathmatch, the rocket shoe race, the kitten eating contest, the knife fight on the flying boat, the shootout with police in the spy equipment store, and the Sonic's Bad Quill Day fanfic, I think I have some remote chance of winning.

Then again, now that you've passed me, the pressure of maintaining my post count second highest is gone. So now I don't care anymore and can focus on more important things that aren't time-wasting, competitive, petty, and selfish.

Sure. I'd recommend them taking the CT of "Game Winner" or "Randomly Successful" or something to rub it in everyone's faces.

You beat me. ;_;

Congratulations. I've got a long ways to go, but since my post rate on most forums decays exponentially as a function of time, I highly doubt I'll ever hit 5,000.

Oh once on the 'net there was a dude
He was a lizard and all was good
He posted a lot in TMK
and reached 5000 in Februar-ay
LD is so nice that he's offered a prize
To some lucky user and he never lies
If you win, what will it be?
A DS game or a game for the Wii?
But that's not important 'cause LD is great
So here's to LD, the one we all love to have as one who can moderate.

I feel small and insignificant.  80 posts ;_; (81 posts now :D)  But then again I've only been around since November so most people have a head start on me.  Besides that, I have much homework and other stuff to do so I don't have time to read posts all day.  But wow, 5000 posts...  That's incredible.  That's like 2 per day....  which doesn't seem like all that much in a grand perspective.  Maybe I'll be about half that far by 2014...

Don't count me in the game giveaway.  After all, you already paid for the hotel we slept together in.  <-- I ended that sentence with a preposition just for you.

I'd be honored to receive a CT from the great LD though.  (Many of my CTs and sigs are plays on yours anyway.)

On the subject of the game giveaway, you might consider giving a gift certificate from a site like amazon or something instead of mailing an actual game.  When I did a few prizes on this board I had problems getting the prizes to some people because they were under eighteen and couldn't give out their addresses.

Piggybacking on that: I don't suggest Amazon for an online gift certificate choice. I have had many problems in the past (and no, not just the Mario Kart thing, Luigison. No hard feelings about all that) with Amazon's online stuff and emails have gotten lost, etc. Just suggesting.

Yeah, I'm being free-form with this. First I'll see who wins and what they want, then do whatever I can to accomodate them from there.

I think you missed your chance, LD.

[01/16, 03:19:06] Note to LD: Send me some freakin' sightings
[01/29, 01:47:49] Note to LD: FIRED

I've done more sightings than you have! I've provided two new ones within the past month! And that's not even my domain here!

Regardless of my "employment status", I have gleaned hundreds of sightings from old mailbags and emails which shall not go to waste.

Congrats Lizard Dude!

This is my 3,190 post. Wow, I've been active in the last year. I've almost been here for a year and a half...*calculates* Wait...I have a few months. Hehe, it will take me months to reach 5,000 post, now that I can't post one-worders...just kidding.

Congrats to whoever gets the awesome Lizard Dude prize. It will even be more awesome because it's from The Dude himself.

ssM is right. It doesn't matter how many posts you have, it's the quality of the posts. Heck, I have 2,915 (now 2,916) posts, and I can guarantee that more than a third of those are the stupid and childish ones I made in the past (hopefully, I'm not posting childishly or stupidly in the current times).

This all said, I am going to compete in this contest. I could use a CT given out by the Lizard, which guarantees it as great. I'll just hope for the best and most likely say a lot of nice words about Lizard Dude until the end of the contest. You're awesome! You can play an awesome guitar solo! You have non-infected scales!

Oh, and great song, BP.

Submitted. I found two new references and told where they were from and what they were. Databasing them is(was) your job. :P

And obviously quality posts are more important than post count. If you guys were saying that to me, I'm a little insulted that you wouldn't think I knew that. If not, well, SSM, your sentences need to be much clearer and better worded. Also, my posts, even if abundant, aren't good quality? ;_;

Wow.. I can't even imagine getting 5000 posts at the moment. I barely have 500 (439, or 440 as of this post). I actually take my time when posting, and try to make sure that every single one is a quality post (not that any of you don't, mind.)

I also am hoping this will be easier to win than one of Nintendo Power's contests, though I likely don't have a chance of winning, since I never win anything.

But I'm not posting to win, anyway. I'm posting to connect with people, improve my internet communication, and have fun. :)

I think it helps when you don't have dial-up, like Fwirt was and Mr.Melee used to have. If you do have dial-up, you have to first consider whether the post you want to make is worth the time it'll take to connect and then get to the FF, then post.

My hands smell like peaches.  It's this new soap.  Lizard dude should offer it as third prize.  Or better yet, the prize for third place should be not receiving it, because then he wouldn't have to go to the trouble of getting it and almost everyone would be a third place winner!

I have to give my obligatory stock statement about how I normally detest threads celebrating post counts, but on certain occasions, such as [# of posts], I feel it's alright.

Now that that is out of the way, congratulations Lizard Dude. It's great to see you're still very active. Please continue to drive the forums forward.

There were 37 entrants. Luigison opted out of the grand prize and Black Mage opted out of both prizes. Thus, odds of winning the game were 1 in 35 and winning the CT was 1 in 36.

Without further ado:

Game Winner: Toad                 

CT Winner: Mr. Wiggles                   

Grats!

I won? Allright!!

I would like to thank all the little people I stomped all over to get this award, and apologize if I hurt anybody in any way. :D

I don't know what kind of game I would want.. I think I'll talk to my fiancee and see if there's something that she wants too.

Thank you so much, LD! :D

How fitting for this thread; this is my 5000th post! ^_^

(Wow, it's been over two years since my last significant milestone (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=5998.0).)

The past nearly-four years have been awesome here, a fun and enjoyable experience (for the most part). I even got to meet and visit with some awesome people I "met" from this place. TMK, especially the forums, has been a huge part of my life and has given me so many memories.

But now I think it's time I take a step back. This doesn't mean I'm leaving, and I'll still be part of the staff, but I'll be significantly less active on the forums (and in the chatroom). Many of you may have already noticed my activity has largely decreased here, so basically this is like a(n in)formal announcement (or something) of what's already happened. Other aspects of my life have become more important to me.

Well, I picked a game. It'd probably not one that everybody else would pick, but I don't care. I'm trying to quit thinking so much about what other people think of me. Anyway, the game..

Mario Hoops 3 on 3. I have yet to play it, and have heard many good things about it.

Maybe since the game is only $30, LD will let me get two of them, equaling $60 (just kidding.. that wouldn't be fair. Lol).

Why should my CT be "King Muscledude"? I'm not all that strong, and hate the term "dude".. unless, it's a reference to Toad's awesome abilities from SMB2 and Wario's Woods.

Oh.. Sorry. :/

I hate the slang term. It stems from when I worked at Burger King for the first time, and there was this manager that I hated (and she hated everybody), and she would run around saying "dude" all the time. Her voice was kind of annoying, like nails on a chalkboard (or that one woman from the tv show Friends, but without the funniness).

I don't hate you. If were to ever take up the use of the term "dude", you would be one of the best dudes I've ever had the pleasure of chatting on the Internet with (I can't say "met" because I haven't met you).

Friends is hilarious. Maybe you people should actually WATCH a few episodes before you insult it.

Hahaha, I think you're talking about Janice, Toad. She's so annoying, but I LOVE how she always runs into the friends at unexpected (the worst possible) times throughout the series. At least the actress who plays her has a normal voice (she's been in Everybody Loves Raymond), unlike Fran Drescher, whose voice drives me absolutely insane.

That's a lame, shallow reason to support someone. I'm insulted that the appearance of my gender in general (or even my appearance personally) has more merit than what I actually say. :/

My thoughts exactly, LD, even if I had never seen the show. Unfortunately a lot of GOOD shows don't last long, though.

It makes me sad that people would get a boost in self-esteem at the expense of someone else. "Well, I'm pretty messed up, but that person is way worse off than me, so I feel a little better."

We need to be boosting other people's esteem through genuine compliments and encouragement (NOT flattery), not make them feel worse or make fun of someone else to make a person feel better. This includes toward yourself, as well.

On another note, beauty is more important on the inside. And hey, if you have it on the inside, it makes you more attractive on the outside. Beauty is mostly about perception.

Is it just me or does it seem like more people are purposely trying to antagonize me (and possibly others) lately? And yet at the same time others have totally agreed with/supported/liked everything I've said? Not just in this thread. Have I become controversial or something?

I like Friends, although I don't generally agree that longevity = goodness of a television show.  I would've liked Friends even if it didn't last so long.

Also, I think Sapph is pretty inwardly and outwardly.  This, also, did not affect my choice in whether or not I like Friends.

Girls in general can be anything, and my opinion varies from girl to girl.  This does not affect whether or not I like AV-Cables.

I got it in the mail today.. I have yet to open it, since I'm in the middle of playing catch up with my school work (since my old computer has been acting kind of funny, and my parents decided it was time to get a new one. I haven't been able to properly work on school stuff for at least a month).

So, has anybody else played Mario Hoops? :D

Post by: Lizard Dude on March 10, 2007, 01:56:09 AM
Yeah, I have Hoops. It's quite good, and has fairly unique touch control. It doesn't feel like any other DS game I've played. The action is fast, there are lots of unlockables, and it gets pretty hard. The collecting coins multiplayer is pretty weak but the battle mode multiplayer is pretty fun for awhile. I imagine playing the normal basketball game multiplayer would be the best way to play the game, but the only person I knew who owned it sold it before I could play with them. :<

I haven't played as much as I should, because I got distracted by other games shortly after I got it. I'll return to it more hardcore sometime.
