OT: Aaahhh! I've been rated!

[Fyron]

Who rated me? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif I wasn't aware that I am good enough to get a rating.

[Andrés]

Click on "my profile".
I can see that I was rated by dogscoff, Deathstalker, Markavians, suicide_junkie and Atrocities.
Thanks to all of them!

[Suicide Junkie]

My profile only shows the total number of people who ranked me, (and the average ranking)
It does show who I ranked, so thank you for ranking me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Andrés]

You're welcome.
I should read more carefully before posing advice. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Fyron]

I ranked both of you guys. But don't thank me, I should be thanking you for all your awesome work.

But anyways, who the heck ranked me? The only things I ever contributed were a mount in Deathstalker's Mount Mod and a compilation of all the ship formations out there (which I doubt anybody cared about). Nothing really worthy of a rank, IMHO.

SJ, is that "Ontario, CA" in Canada or California?

Andres, you're welcome, except... I haven't rated anyone at all yet. This is the first time I've been able to accss the forums since the new look was introduced...

You asked for it. So here you go

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

edit: hmm, strange. I gave you one star (the lowest), but even that doesn't show. maybe not right away, but on next login?

oh oh rate me!! rate me!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Puke]

maybe i have to post again? testing.. testing..

edit: nope. it shows up when i edit my profile, but not on the board. i even made sure that the 'let others see your rating' thing was enabled.

as a side edit, your sig no longer shows up as text when you edit a post. you do, on the other hand, have the check box at the bottom (and many other features).

See discussion of rating in thread: "New posting abilities/lack thereof" for reasoning on the 5-star Ratings for everyone...

Although it looks like someone gave LemmyM only 4 stars...

Edit: Lemmy, I gave you a five-star rating so you wouldn't feel left out; and a five-star to Chewy, too. And, as requested, I gave a one-star to Puke...

5 people were generous enough to rate me at one star, but for some reason the board is not displaying it. whats the use in having a low rating if no one can see how lame i am? what if a newbie gets confused and thinks im a nice guy?

maybe i should report it as a bug to the forum admins?

[Atrocities]

I have only 2 Ratings, and have been here a year. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I guess my contrabutions is not that appreciated. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I should add a new signature: RATE ME!

And start a new thread:

The Offical Rate ATROCITIES Thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[chewy027]

There ya go Atrocities hope that makes ya feel better

[dogscoff]

Atrocities and Puke rated 5* and 1* as requested. Hope everyone's happy now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

There you go. I have been here one day but you have helped alot. 5 stars to you.

How is Ontario a funny name for a city? Doesn't seem like a funny name to me.

And to get back to the original point of this thread, who the heck rated me?

i thought burlingame and milbrae were funny names for cities. and who the hell thought up mudlucken ky? pfleugerville tx?! PLEASE!

[Fyron]

Now those are some funny city names!

[Val]

Think those are funny? We have the pleasure of towns like: Blue Balls and Intercourse out here in PA ( Pennsylvania, not Panama http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

Also, thank you to whoever had rated me. Much appreciated http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[chewy027]

Isn't there a town named Hell in Michigan?

[Puke]

not much to do out there then, Val? maybe Intercourse was supposed to be something like Vinland. Make it sound good to lure in the settlers.

[Cyrien]

El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula

I always liked that one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Val]

I think the names have something to do with the Quakers or the Amish. I'd imagine they make a lot of money in T-Shirt sales.

[ZeroAdunn]

There is a town named hell somewhere, I know it is in one of those M states, just can't remember which one. I remember when I discovered that in 4th grade, ahhh, the hilarity never stopped.

[Gryphin]

Wondering if I have been rated, (not by my X).

I'll make a text file of interesting city names if folks post them here or email me.
sir_gryphin@windingstream.com
Enjoy

[St-Cyr]

And there's a town in Arizona called Picket Wire which is a deformation from a french word: Purgatoire (purgatory).

Who knows if Ontario was really a native tribe name or something else altogether?

We also have Why, Santa Clause, Punkin Center, and several other interesting town names here, along with one of my all-time favorite landmark names, Silly Mountain. The people who came to Arizona before the advent of air conditioning were truly an interesting breed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[capnq]

Some of my Favorites here in Pennsylvania are the towns Mars and Apollo, plus Moon Township.

We also have North Versailles, pronounced "ver-SALES" (rather than the French "vair-SIGH").

[Fyron]

Now to drag up a long dead thread...

Ok, who are the wise guys that rated me 5s? I've gotten two more votes recently, and I think that they are both 5s. So, fess up! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

the 'Los Angeles' part is buried so deep it might be missed by anyone with a short attention span.

BTW, speaking of silly town names -- we've got a 'Hicksville' here in Ohio. Now what dingbat named his town Hicksville? Although I gotta admit that 'Hell' is even dumber. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Blech, Only 4 stars.

It should be 5, as it's really 4.41...

I want to be accepted you hear?

Y'all hear me?!

Thanks Geo mate! You are the best!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Lemmy]

hmm, weird, my avg rating is 4.38, and 6 people have voted, so total points would be 4.38 * 6 = 26.28, now how did someone give me a 4.28, or 3.28, or anything with 0.28??

[Captain Kwok]

Eh! I had a nice 5 rating yesterday and now all of a sudden I'm done to 4... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ...

Seriously, I hate 6 votes and a 5 rating...and then two votes and now my weighted score is 4.00 - so that means two people gave me 1 yesterday... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ...

Hey, I'm only a 3, But I'm lazy So it's OK.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Last i checked, i was at 3.. but then again im the guy that asked everyone to give him the lowest possible rating so that no random passerby would see one of my Posts and mistakenly think that i was reasonable or had anything usefull to contribute.

i think the system might be flawed, but it reminds me unmistakably of all the student body elections i never participated in during grade school.

[Fyron]

Hey, you have a 2 now Puke. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

A 3 is perfectly me...middle of the road. Lazy, uninformed. Indifferent.

3's are people who respond.--"Who friggin' cares what I am rated."

[Puke]

not too much supporting evidence, unless you read the forum on your own, beacue im a touch blitzed at the moment..

but... wardad is a badass. give him 5 stars.

and how the hell did i go back up to 3 stars again, whos the jackass that keeps voting me up? vote me back down! do you really want some random passerby taking me seriously? give me negative stars, if you can!
