A title for Bob

[Bubbles]

Bob the Broker, I think he's earned it by now. Poll attached.

[stefblac]

voted yes for Bob

[citizen1080]

Thank you very much guys =) I appreciate all the support!

[stormiejs]

I vote yes!! Also all the people who vote no should be banned for being lame as fuck, stop crying about everything. :)

[Atennu]

Then tralina will get one, and shitstorm will insue again.

Voted no.

[Emoqq]

can I get my "the Godhammer" title back on my old main?

FYI, I still voted yes, but titles are cool. More is NOT less.

[PhelanKA]

A buddy of mine and I were jokin round the otherday and imagining Bob in a dark room somewhere with 12 computer monitors displaying graphs and chalkboards with economic equations scrawled on them.

Yeah... "The Syndicate of Bob" more like.

LOL...


You have no idea how close you are!

Only 4 computer monitors tho!

[citizen1080]

Sorry that is sig worthy...consider it stolen !

[Torin_Stormchaser]

Absolutely voted yes. I gave someone directions using Bob the other day.

[Bubbles]

I actually envision Bob's late night evening as closing the shades, and gently fondling himself while watching "Pawn Stars" and "Lets Make A Deal" until he drifts off to blissful sleep.

[Atalya]

bob has nothing on beardo. Bob's consignments whereas beardo had like 100 million worth of HIS items.

[citizen1080]

Vote for Pedro !

er...Bob!!

[purist]

Uh, no. Titles aren't given out for being dedicated to something. Hell, Abacab was pretty dedicated to training tunnel. Tralina is dedicated to being a fatty camwhore starving for attention. Titles are for server firsts. What the fuck server first did Bob do to merit a title? He's not the first to offer such "services." Either formally or informally, people have been doing it long before and far more successfully. And even if he was, Bob's type of "server first" is a farcry from a legit reason for a title, unless you think every first casino/whateverthefuck deserves a title too... Only thing this thread does is confirm the down's of the 68 people who voted yes in the poll.

[citizen1080]

Someone needs a hug!

[purist]

Time to get over yourself, son. There've been plenty of folks who have done the exact same thing you do, and have done it a lot better. Only difference is you have a far more inflated sense of self-importance than they did and a far more aggressive and shameless self-marketing strategy.

[Bubbles]

lol Bob's getting internet pwned by some guy who decided he wanted to trade a 40% penalty to melee as an erudite.

Bob has been nothing but entirely humble, even with your stupid insults. I fail to see what you're referring to in your unreasonable anger. He's not the one who suggested the title as far as I know...

[stormiejs]

Uh, no. Titles aren't given out for being dedicated to something.

Titles are for server firsts.

Contradict yourself more. Titles are given out for many reasons, not just being dedicated to zerging bosses. Is someone getting a title really going to affect your ego on an emulator server?

[purist]

I fail to see any contradiction. Yes, a server first involves dedication to achieve. No one disputes that. However, dedication alone , and dedication in and of itself, is not a sufficient criterion for a title. If you think it does, I have no problem showing you how quickly that argument stands up. It's not just about dedication, it's being the first. And not only is Bob not the first to offer such services, but the "services" are a retarded as a "server first" title. Lets give a "server first" to the first casino "services," too? Give a "server first" to the first guy to offer porting "services" for donations? Great idea, retard.

No one is trying to bust out the rulebook on why he should have a title. Its just a funny idea thats pretty awesome...you sound like a sad little dipshit.

[zt004]

I use Bob as a landmark in the EC tunnel now, as if he were a torch.

[purist]

So you think you if roll a Human Pally instead of an Erudite Pally and that hybrid xp penalty magically dissapears? Retarded much? Any hybrid, whether you're Erudite or not, is gonna have a 40% hybrid class penalty. Unless you're a Troll SK and want to factor in race penalty on top of that or whatever.

If I ever venture out of the tunnel to lvl and get to 20 I will get "Bob Thetorch" just for you sir =)

[purist]

A "funny idea that's pretty awesome." Wow. Really compelling argument for a title. Glad I reduced your case for a title to something as blatantly retarded as a "funny idea" that "sounds pretty awesome."

Butthurt much?

[purist]

Ah, the "lolumad" card, the steadfast refuge of a retard with no argument.

Nah, it's a separate thought process: You're at character select... You want to play an erudite, but you also want to melee... Nothing about being human involved.

The real issue here is how is a guy who never leaves a static spot in EC tunnel having a title affect anyone in any way shape or form? It certainly can't ruin your EQ experience, and if it does I feel sorry for you.

I made the poll, slow day in the tunnel thread. People seem in favor of it. I haven't contacted any GMs or /petitioned it or anything (lol). This has ZERO to do with the idiots who want to dick-wave about the fact they killed some mob first or are better at camping a dragon than someone else. THOSE are the 'title requests' that should mocked and laughed at and cause page upon page of R&F fodder.

I mean, if I seriously wanted this to happen, I'd just go PL Bob to 20 and he'd /surname. And we'd send you a /tell to make sure you knew it happened. :)

[purist]

Pretty clear by now you have no interest in a dialogue about the actual merits of giving Bob a title and prefer a flame war where you can retreat behind "lolumads." Nice one, bro. *fistbump* I would too if I didn't have any logical arguments in my favor.

[citizen1080]

Thank you for the free bumps purist, I appreciate the help!

Your opinion is obliterated by a nearly double margin of votes.

I wonder how many forum accounts Purist had to make to bump the no's to 36. :)

Ah, the good old "well, how does it affect you?" argument. The long long cousin of the "lolumad" argument and a staple of 12-year old preteen girls nationwide.

Please let me know when you have an actual substantive argument besides "lolumad" or one of its many variants (i.e. "lol, it will make you mad.")

[purist]

Your opinion is obliterated by a nearly double margin of votes.

Yeah. Because truth is measured in mass appeal.

I wonder what else this argument works for.. Hey, I guess Nickelback did produce some of the top 10 best music out of the last decade after all!

[Dantes]

Your opinion is obliterated by a nearly double margin of votes.

All of our opinions are obliterated. If you can just start a poll to get whatever you want, I'm starting a poll "Should Dantes be given a 25 dmg 30 delay 2H slasher that procs ice comet." Enough yes votes and I get the sword, right?

[nalkin]

The funny thing is that no one cares about all the legitimate titles that the poopsockers have. But alot of people would like to see Bob get this title, myself included. IMO if you made a significant impact on the server and the community wants it, whats the problem? Its not like we are giving him a 150dmg 10 delay weapon. The only people who grief about it are the ones who take this game way to seriously. OMGOMGOMGMG Bob has a title? that ruins my immersion obv.

[purist]

Keep 'em comin guys. These textbook logical fallacies could be effortlessly disarmed by a first-year Philosophy undergrad at Collin's College. Don't worry, I'll still be here when you get your nut up and can come up with an actual substantive argument for giving Bob a title.

This seems to be what purist is actually afraid of happening.

[Tseng]

lol @ how fucking mad purist is right now

He ain't sleeping tonight over this shit.

[Yoite]

why don't we just power lvl him to 20?

[purist]

Since you guys are just rehashing shit I already tore down, allow me to remind you of your "arguments" that I've already showed you are weak for future reference.

Logical fallacies:

-"lolumad"
-"how does it affect you?" (AKA; the "lol, it will make you mad argument")
-"lol, we got more votes."

Other invalid arguments:

-"It's a 'funny idea' that's 'pretty awesome.'"
-"He's dedicated."
-"He's the first."

Anything else?

That is pure awesome...

On a side note...someone start a WTB: Purist a title thread

whoever gets the least amount of yes votes has to castrate himself? or maybe just say sorry...dunno just a thought...

[stormiejs]

I think he wants the server to himself because clearly he is the only one that plays on it. ;)

You still haven't provided us with any reason as to why a title should only be given out for server first pve kills. Are you suggesting that people should not get titles for a botb, tot, or for GM events in which more than one person was involved? All I see you doing here is feeding and baiting trolls.

Bob is a modest person, provides a great service, and is a lot of fun; if anything this thread was just a tribute to him because it's highly likely that he won't get a title even without you whining about it for 4 pages.

We may as well move this to r&f thanks to Purist.

[Tseng]

I voted that I didn't care, but now I am firmly behind it only to piss Purist off.

Maybe I should re-consider, I don't want him to go kick his dog over it or something.

[purist]

*yawn*

[whitebandit]

the fact that his name is 3 letters is enough.. 4 letter minimum.

[citizen1080]

I have it on good authority that I need 2/3 majority for a title...go go yes votes! =)

[Bunzi]

Absolutely voted yes. I gave someone directions using Bob the other day.

Lol... "Go up a ramp, till you see Bob, then turn left, and i'm setting under a torch. This is t1."

[AexDestroy]

I think bob is a good guy and all, but giving away titles for this kind of shit is the start of the most ridiculous string of bullshit....

Def voted no.
