AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous concept of "thread killers" on a forum, where participants analyze who tends to end conversations with their posts. The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

Moonbear, that was great! Perhaps I should delete all posts after yours and let you be the thread killer? Seems like a good last post to me. :-p
Ye'd be riskin a pirate mutiny. Arrrrghhhhh (Or is it a nerd rebellion, it's hard to say.)

That was a real cool post Moonbear.

Thanks, and glad nobody bothered pointing out the typo either. I'm pretty sure :smile: has illicit substances, not elicit ones! Though, I don't really know what an elicit substance would be. Maybe they're even better than illicit ones?

Unfortunately, you were all supposed to stop and be dazzled by all the smilies and forget to reply.

Say, Tribdog, are you planning to reply in your "Rotten PF Members" thread in the Brain Teasers forum?
no I don't think I will. you are right, I am wrong. I messed up. I think I'm going to have to give up on the brain teasers. I hurt myself everytime.

Hey, you can't hijack an already hijacked thread! We have protocols to follow around here. :-p

Aww, dude! I feel so special now. Like I really contributed to the forum.

And it's impolite to return to the original topic once the thread has been hijacked. :smile: :biggrin: :smile:

I thought they were BRILLIANT! Excellent work, trib!
 
  • #508
You guys should just stop trying to delude yourselves.


Some of you may ask, "What in hell is Ged talking about?"

Simply put, we all know - instinctively or not, that the guy who posts the last post in this thread is the GREATEST champion of thread killing. :-p

Looks like this is now the official "random chat not worth a thread of its own" thread.
GD never sticks to a single topic. A thread here is lucky to go with 4 post before it turns into random bs :cool:

You're all too late. I have certified proof that I killed this thread.

Yeah, just look at the "Are you a Nerd?" thread... somehow it went from nerdiness/geekyness to insane pirate rabble.

Random bs?

I am deeply offended. :frown: There is nothing random about the bs here, well, maybe a "bit" random, uhm...yeah...I guess it is pretty random at that. :redface:

But just look at what a fine pirate thread "are you a nerd" turned into! :approve:

That was a scam.:mad: And you ain't getting away with it,even if i'll have to spill blood...

Was it "spill"...?:confused: :-p

Daniel.

P.S.As long as I'm alive,this thread is undecided...:-p

It's a forgery! Don't anyone believe it! I killed the thread days ago and you're all insisting on dragging around the poor little corpse.
 
  • #519
Then how come it's still alive...? : :-p

Daniel.

P.S.This thread should be moved to "Debunking",coz,according to MB,it's a ZOMBIE...
 
  • #520
What is the definition of a dead thread? We need to define that first.

Hey, it was signed by Doctor Peter Goesinyou! It's official.

And besides, Evo said it was alright. :-p

Maybe this thread should be moved to the philosophy forums then.

Yes,but they can be LOCKED WITH ME AS THE LAST POSTER... :-p :wink:

Daniel.
 
  • #525
Well you probably do not want it locked now, seeing as I am now the last poster
 
  • #526
I could be really evil and pick a day and time to lock the thread. No one will know when the thread will lock and who the official "last poster" will be. It will be like musical chairs. :devil:

contributions of fine Belgian Dark Chocolate made to Evo will be taken into consideration when "locking" the thread

I fear that now that the thread is UNDEAD that locking it will be the only way to stop it.
 
  • #527
A deserving winner is the one who grabs "the number of the beast" for himself.
 
  • #528
Yes,i agree.With everything.:approve:*stuffs a big box of Belgian Dark Chocolate into Evo's computer*

Daniel.
 
  • #529
Sounds like a game of hot potato! Now you're going to force me to post even more often in the thread so I don't lose my chance to be the official last poster when Evo locks it. Only PFers could manage to create a Zombie Thread! :biggrin:
 
  • #530
Yeah,MB,fatten MY THREAD.As i said,unless one of the mods locks it,it could reach 3000 posts before we could settle it...

Daniel.
 
  • #531
Who said anything about abandoning...?I suggested the idea to Evo,just a caution measure,in case someone else (besides MB & Artman) tries to CHEAT.

Daniel.

dextercioby said:
...said Bartholomew before he quit MY THREAD...I am a genuine thread killer,though not really successfull in GD,but you can check other forums to convince yourseld.

Daniel.

That was a very highfalutin post, very different from your normal tone.. :rolleyes: But it is true, so i will leave it at that...

P.S. Just ignore this post because it holds no meaning, hoping that people will not post here after they see this post, so I can become the true thread swallower.. :devil:

Bartholomew said:
I know why you want evo to lock the thread. None of you have the stamina to truly kill a monster of a thread. Fatigue gets to you... every time you post in the thread you feel lousy, because you know it isn't over yet you don't want to simply abandon the kill to others. Trapped between two alternatives--posting constantly when you don't really have the strength to, or abandoning your chance to win the battle--you want a third alternative, an easy way out, someone to end the whole business so you can wash your hands of it. None of you have the true grit required to be a real thread killer.
HAAAR! Bartholomew has the fightin' spirit, he does! Give that boy a peg leg, a parrot and an eye patch and you'll have one fine pirate!

er...sorry, that's the nerd thread

Alright, it's a fight to the death then! No locking, someone is going to have to take down the... ZOMBIE THREAD!

Hmmm, I better go check out the pirate thread to see what all the hype is about.

Ack, I can't think of any clever comebacks today! Guess I'll have to resort to brute force again.

*Grabs thread, runs, dives behind sandbag fortress, and loads the slingshot with water balloons*

Don't ye be messing with the likes of Captain Moonbear, ye scurvy dogs, or it'll be the long walk off the short plank fer ye. *fires water balloons at mattmns and Dex* And don't any of the rest of you be thinkin ye'll be gettin any closer'n they did. *reloads slingshot*

(I'm having a hard time keeping my pirate accent from turning into a Scottish accent. :frown: :confused:)

Wait a second... pirates don't exist in the thread killer champions thread! They only exist (at least now) in the nerdy thread... unless it spreads throughout the forum like a plague.

Soon there will be people saying "AARGGH" and "YAAARRR" in the calculus and math forum when people get concepts wrong. And also in the TD forum, the moderators will just lock crackpot theories and leave a single "YAAAARRRRGHHH!" message. In the philosophy forum, they will discuss the intrinsic meaning of "YAAR!"

Physics Forums will degenerate to pirate rabble and all the mad scientists will rebel against their collegic institutions. All we will want to do is pillage, plunder, burn, find booty, bury the booty, and horde wenches.

Oh, the humanity!

  • #546
Ahoy, Daniel! If ye won't come to the nerd pirates - the nerd pirates will come to ye!
Yarrhh, Moonbear - now ye'll have to walk about with headless Polly on yer shoulder!

matt, I too am getting worried about Franz... but I have midterms this week, so maybe he does too.
 
  • #547
Isn't this pathetic...?You abandoned the nerd-geek-pirate thread and came here to post this horrible nonsense... :mad:

Daaaaaaarrrrrrrhhhhhhhhnievill

P.S.No P.S. this time.
 
  • #548
Cap'n Moonbear didn't abandon any threads, matey! She knows the pirate code and goes down with 'er thread, she will.

dextercioby said:
Well,how about abandoning this thread...?:wink: :devil:

Doesn't it sound tempting...?

Daniel.

I'd be the shame of the seven seas to abandon the thread. This cap'n'll go down with 'er thread.
