Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

boots · Apr 9, 2003, 08:12 AM

This thread is for Zimphire and Adam Betts to show their skills as flame warrior. It (if successful) will be the first in a series to determine the most skilled warrior at MacNN.

Ground rules: Only Zimpy and Adam should post here. After the thread gets going, we can start an observers thread for comments.

Mastrap and I will monitor and ultimately decide the winner. Points will be awarded for
1) Artful use of flame techniques
2) creativity in burns
3) polling from the other members of the board.

Flaminig will continue for two days (if necessary).

Remember, this is not about hate. It's all done in good fun. Personal attacks are allowed so long as they a) don't give out personal information, b) do not bring up real aggression from previous threads and c) do not attack things in a way that others on the board will be offended (example: broad attacks on religion or country are inappropriate...but a participants particular spin on the topic might be fair...it is a fine line that a skilled warrior will know how to exploit).

Topic to get you started (as if you guys need it

):

It has been postulated that aliens are monitoring our thoughts. Some believe that wearing tinfoil hats will block the transmission of your thoughts.

If either of you had a thought in your head, would you bother wearing a tinfoil hat?

Zimphy boy's not to great at flaming he's more better at consitantly saying that people havn't adressed his points... and he's generally right cause no one on here ever DOES adress anyone's points... well generally... there's only a few good debaters on here... and most of them don't post much

Hey,now. This is for Zimpy and Adam...your thread can come next....

I think the opening salvos are about to be fired. Watch and learn, people. Watch and learn....

dampeoples · Apr 9, 2003, 01:52 PM

Watching and learning

Zimphire · Apr 9, 2003, 01:54 PM

Ok, I will go first.

I think Adam is over all a nice guy, he makes nice icons, and has a sense of humor.

Ok, how did I do?

100% Positive
0% Negative

Sound like someone bribed you. I'd prefer you to balance the positives and negatives so I can feel like a normal person.

Even Bush Jr. have some negatives. When you look inside his head, you'll see foot

Naw, more like I refuse to be a Circus side show, and not get any cut of the pay.

I saw the hook, and passed it by.

You'll get the same cut I do, soldier.

Pfffff, too late on that one buddy!

davesimondotcom · Apr 9, 2003, 02:25 PM

Prediction: Zim will use more

than Adam.

OK, so that's not exactly going out on a limb.

Somehow I thought this thread would rival the rap battles in 8 Mile. So far it's about as good as the dialog in said film...

Yeah but remember that we are in the same pond right now. There are no worms around so the only way to satisfy your hungriness is to eat me.

I said it before, I'll say it again.

well, I just wanted an excuse to use this again. Justifies the time I spent making it at work.

G4ME · Apr 9, 2003, 03:32 PM

hey adam, hows that porn working for yeah?

boots · Apr 9, 2003, 03:57 PM

Take off the gloves, guys. It's all in good fun, and it has been tacitly sanctioned.

So far, Adam has two good jabs in, and the "eat me" jab had style.

Come on, Zimpy, I know you've got it in you.

Mac Zealot · Apr 9, 2003, 04:00 PM

Zimphy is a moron that just can't shut his trap.

Adam rocks tough choice. I say a heavy blast is always going to beat a steady stream.

F-U Zimph

No, but you can continue to beg me if you want.

No calling them pansies is an insult to pansies. Zimph is a moron and Adam is ok.

No French and Canadian are no where near the same thing, but I would expect no less from an American/White Trash. Same thing

BlackGriffen · Apr 9, 2003, 04:20 PM

Ohh! And it looks like this thread's been hijacked by Star Wars Parade and Zimpy.

Apparently, Zimply will only make himself a circus sideshow if it's a closed shop! They might kick him out of the union otherwise.

This is interesting. He is also jabing SAS in the SAS vs Chic[k]en thread.

Interesting that these two, star wars and zimpy, feel free to flame everyone but the one they are "supposed" to flame.

There's a sociology study in here somewhere.

Zimpy you can't reach a SAS Vs. Zimpy round if you lose this round to Adam.

Zimphire · Apr 9, 2003, 04:37 PM

I give up, I lost. Adam won.

There now we know what happened.

Oh and the SAS guy won too.

I am SUCH a loser.

Hmm.. I showed up for Adam vs Zim, but it looks like Demonhood won!

Socially Awkward Solo · Apr 9, 2003, 07:34 PM

Ha ha good one Demon.
