Official Nubblies Contest #3: Quality Counts - Nubblies.net Forums

Orgazmo · 11-05-2003, 12:55 AM

With the first two down, UB and I decided that a change of pace would be nice for Contest #3. Since the first two forced participants to go out and make something happen, this son of a bitch is going to take place on equal ground: within the forums.

The object of #3 will be to flood the board with quality. What the hell does that mean? It means that you'll be paid for being a good member. From 12:01 AM, November 5th, 2003 - 11:59 PM, November 30th, 2003, Ugly and I will be keeping tabs on new topics and witty replies.

The basic gist is simple: if you make a new topic, you'll get a number of points for it, anywhere from -5 to 10. All topics started within this time period will be looked at. Of course, there is a chance that you'll simply receive 0 points for a certain topic, but that doesn't mean it wasn't looked at and judged.

Along with new topics, all posts are subject to points, although they won't be nearly as handily dealt for replies. Also, it should be noted that we can't guarantee that every post made will be surveyed for points; however, we can say that, between the two of us, we read probably 99.9% of the shit posted on the boards...basically, if you post it, it'll be subjected to points. That said, it should be noted that most single posts will not gain or lose their author points. Although making a decent reply in a thread may net you one or two points, and posting porn or something may result in a loss of 3, the vast majority of posts will simply result in no change of your points.

What kind of shit are we looking for? Oh, this and that...we're not too picky. Things we like include: creative stuff & post catalysts. Of course, each point value given will be subjective, but that's not to say that our basic scaled don't jive quite well.

For those curious, this is how we will judge. As we visit the board daily, UB and I will survey the new shit. We'll take note of new topics crafted, deal out points as necessary in a notepad file (or something of that sort), and go on with our reading. We'll each do this on our own, without talking to the other one about our scoring. Every few days, we'll briefly compare notes so that we can get a feel as to who is winning the race. When we do this, we'll update the thread by telling you who is winning at that point in time. We won't give any specific point values at any time during the contest. Once the deadline has come, we'll average each member's point value and post the standing, crowning the champion with the trophy & golden N.

We're looking at about 2 hours until the cockbear begins. Best of luck to you all.

This should be fun.

No, fucker, he didn't say thread killers, he said post catalysts. Go kill yourself while you're still behind.

fancymeghan · 11-05-2003, 03:16 AM

and the optimism is amazing.

Schroeder · 11-05-2003, 03:19 AM

Butcher, even your idol Pliedes called me a post catalyst.

Titan · 11-05-2003, 02:28 PM

Wow, the amount of shit that this contest will yield is driving my brain down the road to Aneurism.

As if I don't have to listen to Schroeder try way too hard already, now he actually has an incentive.

True love is passed up for a quick fix.
So the world is.

Titan · 11-05-2003, 02:47 PM

Motherfucker.

That's seriously like the second time that's happened within a span of 10 minutes.

Slap me with a cock-star and call me a homo-jew.

Fruitacious B · 11-05-2003, 02:53 PM

Wow the ammount of double post cock knockers is going up too.

*of course i joke

Combat Chuck · 11-05-2003, 03:49 PM

I agree....we're going to see many a worthless post in the days to come.

However, this gives us who are trained in relevance to up the ante. I've already got some ideas, and you should too.

Orgazmo · 11-05-2003, 04:18 PM

A couple things should be noted...

Firstly that worthless posts are going to deduct points from their author (so don't post absolute shit)

Secondly that those who would be most likely to make said posts will soon have quite a hindrance when trying to do so in these forums...

Sure, it's going to incrase the amount of shit...but it's also going to incrase the amount of un-shit. Will the good outweigh the bad? I'm optimistic.

Titan · 11-05-2003, 09:50 PM

I think it would have been a great contest if we hadn't been told about it, resulting in a truer judgement of our postsexxiness. Ah well.

Points finger to nose, other finger at Titan.

VOL · 11-05-2003, 11:02 PM

This counts VOL out.

Saint DH · 11-05-2003, 11:08 PM

That was almost a good post VOL. Perhaps if you wouldn't of used third person, and added about 10 more words, it'd be a decent post. Too bad you suck ass.

Schroeder · 11-06-2003, 12:07 AM

Hey, Orgazmo do you think you could post last place, too?

StabMaster Arson · 11-06-2003, 12:09 AM

Do you really want that kind of recognition?

My guess is there will be about 450 people tied for last...

I would start making decent posts, but I can’t since I’m a pole smoking peanut butter diver. I’m too much of a dumbass to remember to logout too, which just shows how much I love the cock.

Question: What if one was to create a new ID with an orignal and unique character on Nubblies, which then made a positive, qualitilicious contribution to nubblies. Could the creator earn the points, or would they be granted to the creation? Mua ha ha.

Pliedes · 11-06-2003, 01:51 AM

I'm going to go ahead and say FruitaciousB is the one who made that post for the Butcher.
