THE GREAT COMPITATION!!!


Greetings!
I am now holding a great contest to see who is the best speaker in the world!

Here's the deal starting saturday I'll be posting one issue to debate per week!
You may post what ever you want about it and i'll score it! The winner gets bragging rights!!!

Heres how it works:
there are two kinds of posts you can post.

A)primary post
Basicaly bringing up issues.
Scored out of 100.

5 points for grammar
it just has to be readable.
10 points for P.C.ness
just don't seresiouly ionsult anyone or use racial slurs, also i'm not that picky on it.
15 creativity
Don't use the same point for the 26th time.
15 intelegence
Sound good dude. For example "I don't talk to good" wouldn't work.
15 points for remberance factor
If after 100 posts I'd still remember it.
25 points for perswadability
(i'm not the best speller) Persswade me!!

You can give more than one speech per topic, I'll average them.

B)rebutal
You can also rebutt oposing points, I'll give you bonus points at my descresion for this.


Good luck.

Kaseman!

5 points for grammar

Oh, the irony.

Perhaps you should learn to spell and put together cohesive sentences yourself before you attempt to "judge" other people's grammar?

By the way, why should anyone care about your judgement anyway? If you haven't noticed, there's a whole forum out there where we discuss/debate/waste time on different topics.

Er, what's a compatation?

Countdown before you get ripped alive by angry NSG users who won't like that you think you can tell them what to say

10....and that's as far as that countdown is likely to get....

compatation...compitation...priceless, absolutely priceless.

Let us know when you are holding an event that can be defined as a contest between rivals.

I hope he/she isn't "compating" [competing] in his/her own contest.

I am at a loss. Speechless. Stunned into immobility by the sheer and overwhelming irony of this post.

I'm strongly tempted to strip away all commentary so far, and lock and sticky the thread at the top of General.

Astonishing. Really.

-snip-

it would be a good idea, but NSG doesn't really put much effort into things anymore...And also don't pay attention to those grammar Nazis out there. They are just being mean to you for poor spelling, in order to compensate for something wrong in their lives ;)

Please. It is a wonderful example of irony and stupidity of generic debate threads.

Also a noob threat/information center/scare tactic.

Teh eyernee it brnz.

I thought I was going to have to play the role of jackass English major, but it looks like others beat me to it. (I really am an English major, and people always make fun of me and/or get angry when I correct their grammar.)

While we're on the subject of English major pedantry, I want to thank Fassigen, Frisbeeteria, and Fleckenstein for correctly using the word "irony." The misuse of that word by 90% of the population is one of my pet peeves. I hate that damn Alanis Morissette song.

I do not go out of my way to make certain I have spelled everything I type correctly. I do however make an effort to use words I know, or at least believe I know how to spell. I am certain i occasionally make an error, and if I really want to use a certain word I am not certain about I do indeed look it up.

The original post looks to be a deliberate satire of spelling mistakes...but I dont believe it is.

Now, Now, ladies and gentlemen.

If you're going to savage the newb, you need to be snobbier. For example:

---

F U UZE Spel-chek al ur probelms wel b fxed.

I'm still not so sure that the first post wasn't a big joke on all of us

You're my new hero.

Seriously, who needs spelling and grammar? It only means nobody else would understand you.

We should be so lucky:





Projected large conflict senerio (one of them)

1) N korea gets relible nukes (also known as yeah right phase)

2)S korea gets nukes (stupid phase)

3)we stand behind S and China backs N.

4)Kim Jong (is) ill sneexes on big red button, i his haste to get the snot off, lest he gets charged with his new "anti-sneezing law," he pushes it. One nuke wastes a S korea city. (the spark)

5) S korea wastes N korea (the chain1)

6) China wastes S korea (the chain 2)

Watcher: from here the paths of reality become twisted and multiple things could happen. (Those who know who the watcher is KUDOS^3!!

7a) China and USA nuke each other, 1/4 of population killed.

8)a radation sickness kills off 1/4 of world population

9a nuclear winter kills off all plants

10a famine ensues, killing another 1/4.

11a) mutated beasts kill everyone else. (to those of you who haven't realized what book i'm refering to, you need to think more!)

12a everyone's dead.

OR!!

7b) conventional war between china and usa ensues. and china invades californa.

8b stupid chinease general accedently blows up important bridges with MRLS's.

9b hawii seccedes and invades the virgin islands (the random step)

10b morroco invades hispanola (the random step V2!)


11b M1 abram tanks mow down china's red guard. (there should be a tank smilee!)

12b masive coo insed china's government puts new emporer "HOT SOUP" in charge.

13b end.

A contest!
if you can list the 4 pieces of litterature I used to make these conjectures you wiil win a fabulous NO-PRIZE! (Make that 5.)

(i'm not the best speller)


Thank you for a wonderful start to my day!
I honestly have tears of laughter running down my cheeks...

Hmmm perhaps you are right

Or it's never grown back?

As much as I hate the phrase I think this thread is definately an "instant classic".

G'wan Fris, sticky it! or at least archive!

This has to be a joke. I wanna know who is behind it. Genius. ;)

THE GREAT COMPITATION!!!
I would very well like to know what a compitation is

Greetings!
I am now holding a great contest to see who is the best speaker in the world!

no. my worst song contest was great. this is not.
Here's the deal starting saturday I'll be posting one issue to debate per week!
You may post what ever you want about it and i'll score it! The winner gets bragging rights!!!
but what time and what time zone?

Heres how it works:
there are two kinds of posts you can post.

A)primary post
Basicaly bringing up issues.
Scored out of 100.
nah. your thing is starting to sound too much like a school writing assignment.
5 points for grammar
i doubt you would get those 5 points with your post.
it just has to be readable.
10 points for P.C.ness
just don't seresiouly ionsult anyone or use racial slurs, also i'm not that picky on it.
PCness?
15 creativity
Don't use the same point for the 26th time.
if that's your definition of creativity, that should be a ridiculously easy 15 points, but that will not conince me
15 intelegence
Sound good dude. For example "I don't talk to good" wouldn't work.
and i don't think so.
15 points for remberance factor
If after 100 posts I'd still remember it.
so you won't score them until your thread dies?
25 points for perswadability
(i'm not the best speller) Persswade me!!
then what's the deal with you having grammar requirements
You can give more than one speech per topic, I'll average them.
you don't sound like someone who knows how to average something.
B)rebutal
You can also rebutt oposing points, I'll give you bonus points at my descresion for this.

and if that is all i do? how will your crazy system work then.

Er, what's a compatation?

yeah. i wonder.

It's where things compate. Isn't it obvious? ;)

Archive it! You know you wanna ;) :D

I second the motion. Even I was appalled and amused, and we all know I have a legendary grasp of spelling, typing and grammar.

Oh dear. Quite apart from anything else, it wouldnt be a "speech compatation" as we would not be speaking; unless of course you mean we should somehow embed voice clips into our posts.

Or...in language the OP shall understand...

:gundge: OMG! U IS WELL STOOPID! SHEMFULL SPELLIN! AND YOU MAKE LIKE NO SENSE! LMAO! LOL! :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5:

It's where things compate. Isn't it obvious? ;)

um... still, have no idea what it means to "compate"

um... still, have no idea what it means to "compate"

Well, actually, me neither, but I'm sure you could make it up as you go along. That's what the OP seems to have done.

i guess it means to mock the OP, since that's what everyone was doing.

One school of thought believes that Alanis intentionally made "Ironic" completely devoid of irony, as that would make the song itself ironic. Another school of thought believes that Alanis is just stupid.

whta?

Morrisette's song is indeed about irony

All the different senses of irony revolve around the perceived notion of an incongruity, or a gap, between an understanding of reality, or expectation of a reality, and what actually happens

...a no smoking sign on your cigarette break.

...winning the lottery and dying the next day.


I think those are pretty ironic.
