I was just looking at an old topic about LIKING or HATING GIFTS (Giant Intelligent Talking Spiders). I was wonder how all the newer members would think about GIFTS, so I made this poll. Poll Information This poll contains 1 question(s). 37 user(s) have voted. You may not view the results of this poll without voting. function launch_voter () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=vote;pollid=gDBsGjTRAhje"); return true; } // end launch_voter function launch_viewer () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=view;pollid=gDBsGjTRAhje"); return true; } // end launch_viewer function launch_window (url) { preview = window.open( url, "preview", "width=550,height=300,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status,menubar=no,scrollbars,resizable,copyhistory=no" ); window.preview.focus(); return preview; } // end launch_window   -------------------- How many shapers are there? Why is Drypeak controlled by Zakary? Why is Barzahl a Guardian? How does the Geneforge work? What's as small as nothing?

On topic: love the GIFTS. Off topic: If you're going to be one of those new forum people who simply MUST make a poll about ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, I hope for everyones sake (including yours) that you get over it. Very quickly. -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here. You say, "hello" The small child looks at Preserver Aldous wide-eyed and awed.

I have a feeling that this topic has already happened a painful number of times, I'm glad I don't remember any details. -------------------- DONOR Fat Freddys Drop Shirow Miwa Posts: 1112 | Registered: Friday, July 19 2002 07:00 |

Given that JadeWolf has been around continuously until now longer than you have, Kuc, that welcome may be somewhat misplaced.

In short, psh. In long, I find your post nothing more than a post-counter. The point stands, with activeness on these forums being a point of irrelevance. And i am well aware of her "activeness" of these forums of late. It is most presumptuous of you to deduce that since i have not posted, i have not read posts. If we were at a cliffs edge, you would've just fallen off the edge and died. Shame really, you seem a decent enough person. -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here.

I agree with Kel, Whether or not you have been reading posts is irrelevant. You haven't participated in any recent topic before now. I would argue that activeness is highly relevant to one's newbie status, and note that I am referring to intelligent participation rather that constant spam.

Kuc, I didn't assume anything. All I said was that, regardless of when you registered or a handful of posts that may have made long ago or how long you may have been lurking, for all intents and purposes, you just arrived. At any rate, I like GIFTS, except when people kill them in BoA's VoDT. Then I sort of wish that they had never existed. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

As mentioned above, this topic has been repeated countless times. I myself must have seen 4 - 5,m somewhere about there. Anyway, on topic: Who could hate GIFTS?

I think this may be a record for topic derailment and welcome gone wrong in such a short span and in the same thread. Well done! For an analogy, suppose that you are in a room with people holding a conversation. Let's say you're all at a table, for instance, and you're listening but not talking. Someone else sits down after a while and joins in. A while after that, you join in yourself. Now use your conversational skills to analyze what your relative positions in the conversation are. (If you rate one higher than the other, you must have weirdly competitive conversations!) —Alorael, who has nothing against the GIFTS. They're comic relief and they've even been integrated passably into the game. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I serverly dislike the GIFTS. 1: They are spiders. I hate spiders. 2: They think that I'm "cute". No one has said that to me yet, so they are obviously lying. 3: They talk. That makes me angry. -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta! Posts: 1287 | Registered: Thursday, August 14 2003 07:00 |

oddly, the posters in this thread (especially thinking of kuc) refer to jadewolf as a "new member" and welcome him etc, when he already has 236 posts (wich is more than double of kucs posts..) then, jadewolf is bullied for making a poll. and a poll about one of the best parts of spidweb that is! if you dont like it, thanks to the very clear topic description, its very easy to avoid accidently reading it. what does canned mean, anyway? -------------------- OH MY GOD IT'S THE FUNKY ****!!!

I don't see anyone "bullying" him.... Canned is sort of a warning to stop spamming and causing problems. Canned is the last step before the C changes to a B. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

ah ok, thx... it seems i cant really hide my not being american even here. 1. canned.. i assumed that would be kind of a temporary ban; like he was imprisoned in a can... 2. where i live, we use words that mean the same in a different way. though i am aware that my english lacks perfection and im a stupid little ****, if you wonder why i use a word that doesnt seem to fit or whatever, its probably because of that. i want a beer. -------------------- OH MY GOD IT'S THE FUNKY ****!!!

Beer is bitter, beer is best. Beer is better then the rest... Anyway, I like GIFTS. I always play either intelligent Nephil thief/mages or Slith barbarians. A cute kitten or a big bad Slith that's called cute for the first time in his life... That's got sentimental value. i am Belgian, bow down before me... Hahahahahaa!!! -------------------- The 2nd day, God created Exile, the first, he created me. Posts: 14 | Registered: Saturday, December 13 2003 08:00 |

People are canned for making a great deal of unnecessary and uninteresting posts, especially one sentence ones that might read "I agree," or "Cool." That kind of posting is called spam. Another kind of SPAM is a kind of processed meat in a can. Thus, from spammer to SPAM to Canned. And for the unrepentant, Canned to Banned! —Alorael, who approves of the system. It's a notification to spammers, a warning to those who need to know who spams, and a justification for further action if necessary. All that without actually harming anybody! Cans sure have revolutionized the storage of both foods and posts. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

The question is, do they do anything to trolls? (Do we even have trolls here?) Back on topic: I like the GIFTS; I would absolutely love imprisoning Garzhad in their cave instead of killing him. -------------------- "Insanity is okay, but stupidity is inexcusable." -Kenda Nicole Brand Jacob say, "Man who smoke pot, choke on handle." -Jacob Doran Posts: 202 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Well, as shown in the cases of Eraserhead and Drakel, trolls get banned eventually. -------------------- DONOR Fat Freddys Drop Shirow Miwa Posts: 1112 | Registered: Friday, July 19 2002 07:00 |
