Nolan Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Just shamelessly posting for #50 so the other ball will drop. Hmmm, it appears that I have miscalculated somehow. Has the mission count been raised? (Edited by Nolan at 12:03 am on Feb. 28, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I can't shake this bogus "Man of Knowledge" tag. Surely everybody has caught on to me by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 LMAO @ Erik! I got that bogus tag myself and I keep hopping it will change. Seeing as how you have about 200 more posts than I do there is not much hope I guess. (Edited by Singlestack at 1:32 pm on Feb. 28, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 You boys just keep right on posting. Brian figured out my game and renamed me appropriately. Whew! That "Man of Knowledge" was WAY too much baggage to be carrying around. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 OK, here's the deal - Your auto-name-changing-feature does max out at (I think) 250 posts. So, after that, if you want a cool name, send it to me in a message or email and I can change it manually. ya folla? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 NO! That ruins the whole thing! In the Navy, pilots and co-pilots would get their names after a couple weeks in their first squadron. The seasoned pilots would name the new guys, kinda like what Brian has been doing. If we name ourselves, that's no fun!! It's obviously a big job naming members, Brian can't do it all. We should wait till after 250 posts, then the moderators (seasoned pilots) as a collective should name the members. But be nice...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 "Be nice"? You obviously haven't looked into the derivation of some of the nicknames pilots get. One screwup in flight school, or at your first flight assignment, and you could be tagged "Vomit Rocket" for the rest of your career. Proper names would require spies reporting back from matches. Then we could get names like "Spleenboy" "Barricade Thrasher" and "Popper jock shooter." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 (thread drift) I had a friend who during his stint in the Navy, after a particularly nasty groin injury, aquired several new nick-names. Among them were "AssBandit" and "NewHole". Needless to say he was not appreciative of these monikers. (/thread drift) -jhgtyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 TDean is right, it should be done by peers or BE. But peers can be harsh. I start singing Monty Python's "I'm a lumberjack" whenever ShooterGrrl or somebody starts blasting wood from a port. P.S. I once killed a dog with my motorcycle on Highway 1. I was called "Dogboy" for years. (No, don't change Man of Knowledge to that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 I've actually given this "Man of Knowledge" label some thought. Whatever number of posts are necessary to acquire the man of knowledge "title" potentially could all be questions, which would somewhat contradict the man of knowledge title. But from another perspective, even if all the posts were questions, if the poster had any retention capability at all, said poster could hopefully still retain and pass on enough of that acquired information to others to actually be a man of knowledge. I guess it's a wash. ;-} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
