Requesting Touhou Motivational Posters! [Challenge Over! Status: FAILED]

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

*deadpan* This is a serious programming/graphical project. I've drawn pictures and everything.

Wow. That was incredibly wince-inducing.

Aah, I remember that. I was gonna call it being dead within a few weeks, but figured that'd be trolling. Seems I wasn't wrong. That said, why are we bringing this up? Sure, the OP is being kinda silly, but it doesn't mean we should snigger about him behind his back.

[Tengukami]

Seems we're sniggering in front of his back, as even the banned can read this thread, and he's not even probated.

Internet bullying. :V

I was just addressing the "how the hell does he have enough posts for an avatar?" thing. Though I'm not the one who linked it either. =P

[Nine West]

To be fair, that thread is open to the public, and people who wasn't around at that time can simply find it by looking at his post history, if they are curious. The mods didn't delete it either, so it's obviously something that they didn't deem necessary to be less public than it already is.

I apologize if it was just a bad decision on my part to link it here, though.

Eh, I will admit if it was it's still at least a little bit on me too. <3

[Ghaleon]

Ouch...
My brother is like that. Because I have some knowledge with programming he expects me to just be able to make some game with the same amount of effort required to finish a program of college..by myself, heh...He kinda stopped that actually. But still. I totally know the story of people new to the game-making scene over-estimating their own abilities at actually making it.

Oh my goodness, I remember spending all night long trying to figure out wtf a simple program that was like 1/5 of space invaders wouldn't work, and it turned out being a colon somewhere instead of a semi-colon (oddly enough the program still ran somewhat properly with this error). But that was after a year of knowing how to program.

If I was involved in that topic, I'd politely suggest to them that if they are going to make a Touhou fangame, that they should set their standards at LEAST lower than Zun's own...

You guys are just trying to entertain the crowd which is so-far dissapointed with the snowball challenge >=P.

I'm kinda amused people are worrying about this in a snowball challenge thread. :x

that's cuz the defendant is innocent until actually snowballed? Seriously though is this really just a snowball? 3 days of warning for one, I remember my snowball lasted only 1 day...or would have if petty didn't sleep in or whatever, I forget the details. Maybe its my Canadian resistance to snow.

[Bananamatic]

well, there is always the choice of Advice Letty.jpg

just being an unfunny faggot

[Drake]

oh god that rendering job

It amounts to kicking a person while he's down. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[Matsuri]

Not really. It's actually giving the person in question a chance to be redeemed instead of just being outright banned. It's more than fair, if you ask me.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

Yeah, the fact that the "defendant" self-evidently doesn't care enough about this place to find out about the challenge is ... well, I don't want to say it's incidental, exactly -- it's making her situation worse -- but it's not our fault.

[Helion]

Many feel a perverse pleasure watching other people's trouble.

[Bananamatic]

oh god that rendering job

what's a rendering job
I'm not good with the computer

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

Wait how did I miss this thread?

Shame they haven't responded, though. Also, that I and E rule seems... really restricting.

[Ghaleon]

I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to as "kicking". If you mean people enjoying this thread and saying they are, I don't think it's that the person is in trouble that is entertaining as much as the "game" snowball challenges involve. For example, people didn't enjoy douchebag in gensokyo because the person failed, they enjoyed the product that came from it.

At least, most people, there is the sicko sadist type Helion is mentioning as well.

[Tengukami]

I'd also like to know how he's "down". He's got three entire days to make some motivational posters. That's it. He could redeem himself. Belittling his posting history isn't exactly dredging up top secret information, either. It's two clicks away.

[Ghaleon]

My artistic skills combined with my internet knowledge is next to none. If I got a snowball challenge I'd probably fail miserably regardless of how hard I tried, but a part of me would want to try, if only to try and entertain you guys >=P

[Pesco]

Letty's challenges are reasonable enough for you to succeed if you put in the effort.

[Chaore]

Just as expectified.

He has seven hours left NOW, right?

I have no issue with the snowball challenge as such. My issue stems from parts of this thread coming awfully close to "oh look, this person did something stupid, let's tell the whole world that he's stupid, neener, neener, I'll even provide links to other stupid things that he was involved in." It's unnecessary - we have plenty material to make fun of him for from this thread alone.

The posting history being readily accessible isn't a justification. There are many embarrassing things that are publicly available, but it's not an invitation to start plastering it on billboards everywhere. This last point is an exaggeration, of course, but it gets the idea across.

[Alfred F. Jones]

I would feel sorry for this fellow if he hadn't dug his own grave so thoroughly.

Though, it does annoy me that he hasn't shown up since the OP. Hmmm... I wonder if I can use modh4x to make him notice, by subscribing him to this thread. I want to give him a fighting chance (even though my my own standards, this IS a fighting chance already), and since I just finished reading his fic to summarize it, I would also like to be a nerd and give him some writing tips.

EDIT: I can indeed subscribe him to this thread, but I'm starting to think it would be unethical of me to do so. >_> I'll wait and see what Letty thinks.

[Drake]

Subscribing him won't do anything, I emailed him about the thread already.

[Spidere]

Just as expectified.

I believe so.

But the no E or I rule is kinda.....restricting. To say the least.

[Fightest]

At this point I'm probably sounding like I'm being contrary for contrariness' sake but... what if he's got Internet problems?

I'm entirely unconvinced of that, by the way, but just throwing it out there.

[Letty Whiterock]

I believe so.

But the no E or I rule is kinda.....restricting. To say the least.

Creativity is the name of the game. Here's an example!



I'll even give him that one for free.
