Honorifics?

Author	Topic: Honorifics?
The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Monday, June 27 2005 10:22 Profile Homepage #0 Just out of mild curiosity, which prominent BoX designers would you assign the "sensei" honorific in conversation? (For reference, the designers are those who made any 8.0+ scenario for BoE or BoA. If you don't recognize the name, you probably shouldn't choose 'em.)

Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Monday, June 27 2005 12:01 Profile Homepage #1 Stareye, Alcritas, Drizzt, and Brett are the only unanimous selections so far, although that's not such a big surprise. I see a lot of bias towards people currently in the community, though. Perhaps if you'd listed the scenarios designed by people, response would be a little different, at least. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Monday, June 27 2005 15:09 Profile Homepage #2 Nahh, I'd rather let the humor play on for a little longer. So far: * Thuryl > Creator AND Shyguy * Kel > Tarl AND Measle * Khoth > Yoshiyuki AND Gonzales There are others I think are total BS, but I'm close to being banned as-is, and Drakey's a militant ki-- administrator. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Tuesday, June 28 2005 02:50 Profile Homepage #3 ... these results so far are either extremely disturbing or tampered with. Kelandon with nearly as many as Brett and Drizzt, while Tarl and Scott Evans are left by the wayside? -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Dallerdin with a custom moniker. Shock Trooper Member # 3898	written Tuesday, June 28 2005 04:45 Profile #4 I think it to be somewhat worse that almost one in five people think Alcritas is undeserving of said honorific while (assumedly) thinking one of the other designers is. This goes up to two in seven for Stareye, almost one in four for Brett Bixler and Drizzt, and one in two for The Creator. (Kelandon, TM, Thuryl, and Tarl Kudrick are all sitting at slightly over two in three.)

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Tuesday, June 28 2005 09:24 Profile #5 As far as I can tell, the poll does not ask a voter to exclude themselves if they haven't played BoE. Furthermore, the requirement that a scenario be rated at 8.0 or above is curious to me, as there are 2 rating systems and it wasn't spelled out where one could find the ratings. So, is it still that odd that Alcritas gets left out? I actually didn't bother with looking for ratings, I used my own sense of the value of each BoA designers work. So, there you have it. *this message sponsored by the ban TM during the elections PAC* -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, June 30 2005 04:14 Profile Homepage #7 I don't recognize the name of Scott Evans... does he have a moniker he goes by as a designer? What did he make? I voted TM and Kelandon just to be different - I like both your works, why can't you just... you know. :rolleyes: Edit: Ben - "Sensei", TM being TM, is the perfect word for it.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, June 30 2005 04:59 Profile Homepage #8 Scott Evans made Nightfall and Truffle Days. Both are good scenarios that were made before your time; they're still well worth playing, though. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
