| April 20th Weekly Update Friday, April 20, 2012 9:41 pm — Posted by Quirvy |
ShareThisThe drama surrounding the topic dedicated to finding shos a new avatar has finally come to a close, with Isa assigning shos the "woman shos" avatar, after they failed to successfully produce an avatar of appropriate size for the other candidate. The whole episode has inspired Bmwsu to try his luck and having people suggest avatars for him. So far it is acheiving just about the same amount of success; shos acts confused in the middle of his attempt, and ultimately, the process is taking longer than it should have (should have been done 2 days ago)
Last week, some heated discussion about karma rates took place in the weekly update's topic. This week's topic to get mad about and discuss is: How the poor avatar choices of other members affects your life
Yesterday some old washed up troll made a brief appearance, and people exchanged phone numbers not belonging to them in the chatbox.
Dando still hasn't made that one post that she has been putting off, and Livio is still inactive.
Flashmarsh made this forum game that's taking the interguild by storm. 'Interguild Island' is an apparently remote island where all of us have been dropped off to, and we don't really know what to do, other than to try to survive, and maybe kill others along the way.
Win of the Week: Flashmarsh's new forum game - Very popular so far
Fail of the Week: Jazz's Filler post - was not appreciated by most people.
Dud of the week: How this topic developed - Not all of it was this week, but: Shos received a new avatar, so it was successful in that sense... But the topic was really dysfunctional.
And now something that I know shos is really excited for, because he mentioned them at least twice this week while acting excited about it: Chatbox posts!
This week, I decided that I would try to not count chatbox comments that didn't contribute to any conversation, Cedric (14 counted) was the main offender that I felt necessary to take posts away from, but I also took 3 away from Yuggy, but this stuff doesn't really mean anything unless you really care about how many chatbox posts I credit to you each time I do the weekly update.

Wow, I've really dropped out of the chatbox standings quickly. Green Carrots "Time is a circuit, not a line; cybernetics instantiates templexity." | |

Me too. Team, listen up. We haven't been doing too well lately, out opponents are too strong for us. We have to improve, in 1 week. Otherwise, we'll be dropped from the list. Go go go, move move move! Stop watching the clock! Green Carrots | |

 They're only statistics. I don't even like using the chatbox anymore because I think I'll post something irrelevant or silly and be the cause of a huge argument. "Time is a circuit, not a line; cybernetics instantiates templexity." | |

You're free to post! You don't have to worry about it. I think you'd know what's silly and what isn't, it's easy to tell. | |

Wow I've been really dropping in chatbox posting. Huh. Darvince, you shouldn't really be afraid to voice your thoughts or anything in the chatbox! I do it all the time, and I bet a lot of other people do the same thing. (Like Thomas and Quirvy.) And hey, arguments can be interesting to read (but not exactly to participate in) so... well, you get my point, don't you? Green Carrots | |

Stop watching the clock! cedric... you were the one complaining about someone posting "use dubstep. wubwubwubwub." ^don't complain about spam, if you're gonna try to post 100x as much 'Livio' said: You know, I was thinking of getting an internship at Microsoft, but I'm not sure I want their lameness to rub off on me. | |

Guys! Didn't you read the weekly update? You're supposed to discuss and get mad about "How the poor avatar choices of other members affects your life", not "How you would like other members to behave in the chatbox" Also I wasn't really expecting Dando to make a that post this week, I was just reporting on it because it's something I can report on.  spooky secret | |

'FlashMarsh' said: Yeah, I'm posting. Nothin' special. Green Carrots >Green Carrots Also I don't like mismatching avatars, like when Quirvy gave neezles Cedric's current avatar, I swear he travels time to abuse his mod powers.

Oh yeah, official results: Darvince initially didn't contain green carrots in his post, but he took like 1 minute before editing it in. Cedric didn't put green carrots in originally, but I guess that at some point he noticed it. Silver's post had it immediately as far as I can tell. I actually didn't check when I first saw them, but judging by the lack of content in them (especially flashmarshes) I'm guessing that Jazz and Flash had green carrots in their post from the posts original submission, even if their posts were a bit late. Winners: Darvice, Silver, Jazz, Flashmarsh Not sure when he noticed it but still deserves mention: Cedric We now have the facts: 5 people read the weekly update's summary. Also, I deny all time travel related accusations. spooky secret | |

Yeah I usually skim through the summaries of news posts. I saw something about "green carrots" and at first I thought you were making a really bad Dr. Seuss reference. | |

I just saw it now, most of the problem is I generally keep interguild open, so I just refresh and don't see the front page... | |
