God - you guys are depressing.


There are 473 posts before yours. you either have a math or typing problems! :D

Anyway, you must have enjoyed the posts much enough to keep reading em all until the end!

The "old gang" is never quite the same. A lot of that is perception. Ever notice how small the place is when you go back to see an old school you went to? Something old is never new again.

There's new gangs forming all the time, but of course they're "just not the same."


Dukasaur, I didn't mean to say that a lot of my old favourites weren't still here, just that something quieted a lot of people who still play but are not nearly as active. It wasn't meant to offend anyone.

Edit: "Well at least old Dukasaur is still here!" (hope that suffices as a peace pipe) :mrgreen:

Don't worry, I wasn't offended...:)

I was just trying to point out that it's part of "You Can't Get Home Again" Syndrome. Nothing seems as good the second time around, even if objectively speaking it hasn't changed much.

Now, there is an objective decline in activity on CC, that is undeniable. Membership is down something like 35 or 40% from its peak, and that's a big drop, no doubt about it. So that translates into less activity everywhere: there's fewer tournaments and they take longer to fill, there's fewer posts in the forums, there's fewer people to volunteer for stuff and in general there is less of everything. It's a real and serious problem, and I'm not discounting it. What I was trying to say, however, is that as bad as it is, people are viewing it through "YCGHA" Syndrome eyes, and bad as it is objectively, people are subjectively seeing it as even worse.

YCGHA is I take it similar to "the grass is greener somewhere else" attitude, only more of a "back in the good old days" look?




yeah, forget it, I'm going to go poke deadbeats with sharp sticks...

On a side note to what you were talking about is that I was in the background lurking for a long time.
I am the new old gang; only better looking.

That's correct, you truly are no one.
Infact, I barely even saw you there bud.

If AoG is truly no one, then how can he at the same time be someone? Surely, he must at least be one thing, but this contradicts the claim that he is no one, i.e. no one thing.

Perhaps, Gillipig is implying that AoG is actually many ones, or rather more than one. And this must be true for Army of GOD is indeed an Army, and GOD is in fact three persons.

AoG, I agree with Gillipig's assertion that you are more than one.

You are way over thinking this one, BBS, you've got to consider the subject matter into your equation. I think he's just implying he's a loser. :-$

But what has he lost? His one-ness? Is Gillipig upset because AoG is going through some existential crisis?

In a way you are correct.
Aog is so small that his behavior can't be understood by using logic adapted for macrospcopic objects. Only through quantum physics can his odd beahvior be understood. In the macro world nothing can exist in two places at the same time, however when you're dealing with objects as small as Aog, (or protons) the most extrodinary things happens. Imagine a mini rat running around a chunk of cheese with infinite speed, and you're looking at an analogue for Aog's movement in CC's forum. He's everywhere at once but no one seems to notice him.

But if no one seems to notice him, then why are we talking about him?

Maybe you're jealous of AoG's quantum properties.

Its not that no one notices him, just that no one regards him. Think of walking up to a bowl of fruit, noticing some fruit flies and swishing them away cursing "damn fruit flies!". Once the flies have dissipated, they are no longer of any consequence and don't enter your mind until the next time you notice them around the fruit bowl.

I'll leave that question to future generations of scientists to solve.
I'm busy investigating the claim of a site creator. Mythology has it he's called lackattack and provides coding for the site. But no evidence of his existence has been found and all eye witnesses are dead.

Shhhh!

Do you want everyone to hear? Alright I'll hook you up on a good deal with him if you keep quiet.

I hope you're good with whips. lackattack loves them! He's a masochist. He'd like you to wear leather. Black leather. And lipstick. Lot's of lipstick!
