Guess Who Wrote This? - A PF Game

  • Thread starter Thread starter FZ+
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
A game was proposed where participants guess the author and forum of quotes from posts on a platform, specifically targeting well-known users to avoid obscure references. The initial quote provided was from a user named FZ+, and subsequent guesses led to discussions about refining the rules, including ensuring quotes are original and not sourced from elsewhere. Participants engaged in playful banter while attempting to identify quotes, with notable mentions of users like Iacchus32, eNtRopY, and Hurkyl. The conversation included humorous anecdotes and reflections on past posts, with some users recalling memorable quotes and their contexts. The game fostered a sense of nostalgia and community among participants as they navigated through various quotes and their origins.

Ah! Morp! It's morp, the guy who thought QM was a conspiracy specifically designed to confuse him...

Presuming I am right...

"Given that this Mind fulfils the requirements of omnipotence; omnipresence; and omniscience, I conclude that this is the Mind of God."

In case you're right I'd have to laugh loudly and shout out loud: LIFEGAZER

If that is correct, try this one;

"Even so, the radio is only a receptacle. In which case how do we know that our mind is not just a receptacle either? Or, say part of a "grand stage," where everything is broadcast live? ... and we're just part of the "live" entertainment."

Boulderhead, the answer to yours
is: Rene DesCartes.

Bingo! It was morp in theory development

Ah, FZ was right and I'm nearly 100% certain the quote FZ posted had to be from LG, so it is possible that I've got the ball again.

Sorry zoobyshoe, but that was not the member I pulled the quote from.

Here is another big, long, hint;

"As for the number 666, what it represents is two thirds, and hence the second of three degrees: the first being 0 to 333, the second being 334 to 666, and the third being 667 to 1000. Which would be about right, for if you portrayed a symmetrical cross, where the top, bottom, left and right (sections) were equal in length, then by adding "an extension" equal in length at the base, you would have these same three degrees portrayed by the height of the cross: where the first two degrees (666 and below) exist below the horizontal plane, or "cross beam," and the third degree (667 and above) exists above it. So in this respect the number 217 (as opposed to 216) would be similar to 667."

When I read this only one member comes to my mind. How about you?

Dang! I didn't mean to snag the thread up like this! Do you want me to take it outta here to another thread? (Isn't there a Harry Potter thing hanging out there somewhere? Looking... YEAH! Greg! Are you out there? Zooby says Zantra!)

Not to side track but going back to that entropy quote, I'll go with philophy forums- though I find that hard to believe- I didn't see him in there much- of course he left just as I was getting started

This sounds a little like Qantumcarl, except that he usually makes more sense and this thing is just bizzare.

Nope. It was in How Stuff Works. Here's another of my favorites:

Who said this?

"I once got drunk with some illegal aliens. Then I think I lost my car for about six hours."

Artman,
It was not QC.
 
  • #61
Could people focus on 1 quote rather than several quotes.
 
  • #62
BH: Sounds like Iaachus in Philosophy I think. Barring that, religion.

Right about LG of course. It is obviously from the start of LG's infamous "Proof for the existence of god..."

Maybe we are getting too many philosophy ones?

FZ,
Yes, it was Iaachus in religion. :smile:

Ya that one was pretty trasparent- I could have easily made the same guess (so why didn't I?..grrrr)

Uh... is it my go?

"That Crusader was a particular example that made me mention Runsfeld...when ever a raving, slobbering hawk like Rumsfeld sees a problem, it must be HUGE."

It reminds me of one of our faviorite crackpots, he's been gone for a long time, Fellow called himself Donde, had his own definition of Pi.

Did he insist that (Pi)(rround), not square?

Was it Njorl?

Was it that incendiary Danish guy
who had that long thread going
about how Americans are culturally
inferior?

Close.. (only many thousands of miles) but no cigar.
 
  • #72
Right thread, wrong poster, I'm
guessing. Hmmm...if it only
weren't against the rules to look...

Since you mention Rumsfeld, I'd say it was in the P&WA Forum, and guess it was Zero (hey, if you're going to guess, you might as well guess the Mentor of the Forum :smile:).
