I'm gonna get started on earning this award ASAP!

Quote from: RoudiI'm gonna get started on earning this award ASAP!

Dude, if you put some effort into it you could pull a trifecta.  You could announce an upcoming RPG that will change not only gaming, but the way people look at their world.  This is a game that could save lives, or make them worth living again.  After build up sufficient hype say nothing, then come out with a huge rant about how all the lemmings don't buy into your vision and gamers aren't worth your time.

You'd win all three

You have a long, long way to go before you could hope to even hope to come within telescope distance of Skarka.

Really now?  Don't you know that all it takes is one very poorly thought out post or comment to bring an end to years of work? Reputations are bothersome things considering how fragile they are.

Did Roudi fumble somehwere I don't know about that'd place him in Skarka's league?:heh:

Link?

Say, didn't Skarka used to get pissed off whenever someone would refer to his "Hong Kong Action Theatre!" RPG without including the exclamation point? I heard this over at RPGnet years ago but never saw it happen personally.

nomination seconded. :heh:

BOZ, you can nominate him, can't you?

I mean, you're not a judge like Teflon B. here, right?

Oh, and Billy - I've been known to be snarky, sarcastic, snippy, and engage in asshat-ery on occasion.  I have a bad habit of talking down to gamemasters who let the rules or rules-abusing players take over their games.  I've also said some rudeness to folk who bash game systems for stupid reasons.  And I've got into a couple of flame-wars with Skarka and D. Jorgensen's alt.  I have yet to take asshat-ery to Skarka's level, though (a few posts on his blog take note of every time his sales go up following one of his rude posts).

i have no idea how the nomination process works, or how much i can be involved in it.  if someone would show me...

I recall hearing the same thing, but I don't have a cite or anything.  It certainly would not be out of character.  

BOZ, all relevant information can be found here.

The shipping costs make even sending in a PDF product a little pricey.

It's just the mental image, ya know? I know myself. I fucking HATE crowds, so I know I'd toss a few back to take the edge off my meanness. Plus, I enjoy sucking face, and just to be an obnoxious, arrogant ass I'd probably bring a few "friends" to the con.

Sit at the table and swap spit with 1-3 girls who AREN'T my wife, and my wife too, drinking and in general not paying attention. Get my name called, look around all confused, then get up, stagger up the stage (Stopping twice to be like: "HEY! What's up, man, hey, come on up with me. HEY! I know you, here, hold my whiskey!") and stand there and stare at the guy like he grew a second head. After that give my acceptance speech...

"I'd like to thank... AAAAAIIIIRBOOOOORNE!!! HOOAH!" stagger down. Puke in the garbage can on the way out the door yelling: "HOOAH! I WON A GOLDEN COCK AWARD FOR APPEARING IN THAT PORN MOVIE WE MADE LAST NIGHT!" and holding the award over my head.

Then run screaming across the lobby/parkinglot and use the award as a bludgeon on a mailbox or something, and accuse it of being Jack Chick in disguise, scream profanity at someone, and get hauled off to jail.

My rep?

you have a reputation, but i can only imagine that a very poorly thought out post or comment would strengthen it rather than harm it.  

"Actually, it was tequila and Mountain Dew."

LOL I think that's what did it, right there.

Yeah, I don't think the following would hurt my rep:

Quote from: Yahoo NewsWhen Nerds Attack
Late last night, relatively unknown RPG writer Timothy Willard was arrested after getting drunk in a strip club and setting off CS grenades yelling: "FUMIGATE THAT ASS BITCH!" Police located him in his hotel room where he was surrounded by five prostitutes, some women he met on the way back from the club, a dead pimp, and had a hotel bellboy tied up and gagged, hanging from the cieling fan.

Mr. Willard's BAC was 0.26, and his lawyers comment was: "Eat shit."
