Cage Match: Shatner.com Vs Automags.org at WLIPP (details)

[AGD]

Trekies and Borgs,

In our never ending saga of internet entertainment brought to you by your friends at AO, we will do the first ever Internet Cage Match at the WLIPP.

A fight spectacular will go on in the two forums between two Champions. One Champion from Shatner.com and one Champion from Automags.org will be selected to have a battle of the keyboards....to the death (crash?)!!!

The AO champion, alone at his keyboard with the rest of the world watching, will be required to upload as many posts as possible to a single thread on AO while his counterpart on the Shatner forum does the same. They will each get the same amount of time to enter as many posts as possible and at a prescribed time their posts will no longer count.

The champion with the most posts wins a prize and the glory and adoration of his forum!! Hail the champions!! So the crowd is not left out they can email which side they think will win and how many posts they will enter. Guesing the winning side and post count for that champion will get you a prize too!

In order to make it fair we will not announce the posting specifics until fight time.

Trekies are you game?? Got Champion??

Borgs, are we men or mice?? Are we going to let them beat us at our own party?

Who amoungst you will step forward to be our CHAMPION!!??

im the fastest typist in the west ...::spit::

[zvanut]

so how do we know who will be posting

[SlipknotX556]

I think maybe Tom will select someone. Im a keyboard whore, Id be perfect for the cage match.

[AGD]

Both sides need to pick their champions.

[a_malfunction]

Wouldnt that be biased to the person with the fastest connection?

[zvanut]

so do we nominate people?

if its possible i would say possible me :)

or miscue.

[Ground_zer0]

i say we need to test typing speed and chose the top one. We need screenshots or something from a typing program. any sort of free program out there we can test with. I know I toped out at 98 wpm back in the day.

another consideration is net connection. For fastest postings a high speed connection would be best. Those are the only stratigies i can think of.

[TransMan]

this si cool dont pick me i suck

[spazzed]

I am so game for this!! I know cable doesn't sound that great under most conditions, BUT, there ARE NOT many people in my area w/ it, so I get more bandwidth than most people!! Bwahahaha!! I've got it planned out already how to get the max amount of posts. Load, AGD, Tuna, Army, Mods... someone like that, I don't wanna post & risk the trekkie's stealing my idea(s)!!

[spazzed]

BTW, I mean for listed ppl, or someone like that who's been here for a while, to PM me.... I so wanna do this!!

[SHAZAM]

I have medical transcriptionist in my camp that can type 130 words a minute....can anyone else do it faster than that?

[TooDamnSweet]

This is gonna be kewl. Thanks!

[Thordic]

My mom types 120 WPM, and I can beat her in a head to head typing contest. (She still insists that since she can transcribe faster, shes a better typist, oh well :) )

But typing speed doesn't matter. What matters is posting speed. We need to find who has the fastest connection. Cable or DSL is fast, but I'm SURE we should be able to find someone with a T3 or faster around here somewhere.

[manike]

I suggest JLove or Paintcheck (same person) he hosts the forum and probably has a seat right next to the server ;)

hehehe

:D

something tells me JLove will be drinking away his fears of the server catching fire throughout the WLIPP ;)

me thinks his typing speed will go down as his tequilla to blood ratio increases...

[BTAutoMag]

we need someone with a T3 connection! fast.

That is correct. Cut and paste is faster than typing any day. It's all about connecting speed (and that leaves me out)!

Well, that's kinda cheating, but I like the way you think "outside of the box"! :D

[BTAutoMag]

yea im attending the festivities with a 14k dial up conncetion but hey its my own pesonal computer.

[SlipknotX556]

I have the solution! First we pick the top 5 people. Then I start one of my famous post whoring threads. The 5 people compete for who can post the most in a 3 minute period. No one else but the chosen 5 people are aloud to post. I will only start the thread. To make it fair, the chosen 5 people must all start out in the chat room, then I will come in the chat and say GO!! Then after 3 min I will count who had the most posts. Then whoever has the most posts will compete in the cage match at the WLIPP.

[BTAutoMag]

whoo hoo post whores unit!!! i wish i had a faster computer:(

[Riotz]

Doesn't AO have a restriction on how fast you can put up another post?

What if you flood their server with posts, while this contest is going on? Therefore, slowing down their server.

What if someone generates a script to post as fast as possible?


mmmmm the possibilities.

[Fred]

My cable connection is pretty fast, what kind of message will we be posting?

I'm pretty quick on the "copy-paste" too... :)

But, don't want to burst a bubble... but can't you log on more than once? as in, couldn't person A logon to two computers so that person B can also make posts for person A? or will you be checking IPs?

[dansim]

how bout me

[dansim]

this? damn man how you sposed to post fast when the admistratr wont let you post more than once in 30 seconds..

[spazzed]

Like I said before, I'm all about doing this. An unusually fast cable & A kick-*** system: Athon 1700xp+, 256mb DDR, yaddayadda... If it comes down to a contest to see who does it tomorrow, then so be it. But I can paste pretty damn fast!!

[Miscue]

Screw the typing and write a program to do it!!!

Need to turn off the 30 second limit.

[SlipknotX556]

I have a fast connection. Cable modem. But my cable is sometimes dead so I dont know if I could compete in the cage match.

[Snooky]

ok i have a fast connection(cable) and if you remeber right i love to get at shatner(1000 posts on the forum). however i say miscue because he always beats me in that damn paintball trivia contest. that and i dont know if i could take the pressure of possibly being beaten and letting ao down.

[Nitroduck]

Whomever you pick NEEDS to have a fast cable/DSL or T line so he can upload real quick!

[spazzed]

I'll say it again, NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE CABLE IN MY AREA=MORE BANDWIDTH FOR ME=FAST UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD!!

Come on ppl, give a guy a chance! :D

[AGD]

So, I see we have several AO champs to choose from but where are the Trekies!!?? Can't have a cage match without two fighters!! (Sweete??)

AGD

[spazzed]

TK, Perhaps we could throw up a post in the trekie forum? They just might join the fray then...

[Xen]

Ill do it.... The trekies already fear my posting powers!!!!!

[TooDamnSweet]

AGD

I am totally up for this!!!!

I can type fast but my computer is slow and reading all the posts on here I would get my butt kicked. When is it gonna be? Maybe I can borrow a computer. I am definately game!!

[spazzed]

Sweet, I warn you now. You are going to be assimilated!

This (http://www.geocities.com/smvgrey/ROFLOL.wav) is what we do when we see your posts...

Thanks for the warning, but I'm loyal to Shatner the Supreme!!!

Besides, why would I want to become apart of the deodorant squad??:D

[spazzed]

Because we smell good!!

Good One!!!:)

[spazzed]

Aye, that it was!

You're still going to be assimilated!

[Jonno06]

i think(and know),that CH12IS has the fastest internet ever........he either has LAN or T3...we did this test thing,and his was off the chart.....

[spazzed]

Crap, if you would have caught me about 5 days ago when I was still at school, I would have been up there, if not faster... Multiple T3's.. Damn, it was sweet!! I was pinging in the low 30's to the west-coast!! (I'm in Tennessee, btw)

[BTAutoMag]

we have a winner:D

[spazzed]

Yaaaay!!! I am gonna kick some serious arse!!!! They can set their phaser's on stun, I'm gonna set mine on super-ultra-mega-fast-******-mode.

****= my dirty little secret. They're so screwed. Bwahahaha!

BTW, you do know I'm not on the T3's anymore, correct? Just wanted to make that clear. Next best thing though, cable pretty much to myself & acess to DSL, if needed. Woop!!

[retrotrek]

This sounds like a spamming game. I don't know of very many Trekkies who are into spam. What about the challenge of posting different images or links for each post? Every one of them has to be different.

Anyone can set up a program to repeatedly post, or cut and paste, the same post over and over again. It takes real skill to come up posts on a specific topic, each of them different, OR a scavenger hunt of all sorts of obscure things that the posting/link master has to find.

IF we do it that way, it isn't just a matter of the speed of the connection, but the skills of the hunter.

Think about it.:D

[spazzed]

Resistance is Futile. You Will be assimilated.

[spazzed]

Woop! 200 posts! Joooy! (Ren & Stempy baby!)

BTW, anyone else think 7 of 9 is hott w/ 2 t's? oh yeah.

[CoFFeY[NiTrO]]

I nominate Zvanut or FooTemps

[spazzed]

I nominate....


Myself!! Again!:p

[FooTemps]

ULTIMATE POSTWHORE FOOTEMPS IS UP FOR THE JOB!!!

[FooTemps]

Also... do our posts have to have any point to them?

[spazzed]

Heeey! I staked my claim first!! Move over! *smack*... hehe... as far as I know, they don't have to have a point at all. Just quick posting.

[zads27]

For me, all I have to say is,
Two words (not really words):

1.4ghz, T3

Though the cpu speed doesn't really have much to do with it.

*Puts on gladiator helmet*

[spazzed]

Gotcha beat on the chip, 1700+xp (1.47ghz) ha! had you beat on the connection, multiple T3's. :-P

[Jonno06]

who can connect faster than a wireless that is connected at 11mbps?????

CH12IS shall be our champ....

[CHl2IS]

While I may have a fast internet conn., my computer bites the dust -- but here's a screenshot of my connection thing.

[spazzed]

Purty connection... Do you always connect at the rate?...Seeing as how CHl2IS has the fastest connection, but a computer that bites the dust. I nominate myself as a substitute. I have a near-screaming system (Athlon XP 1700+, 256 DDR=512 Sdram) & a faster than normal cable connection. Come on ppl, give a guy a chance! Pleeeasee!! :D :D

[CHl2IS]

yep, 11 allways.

[spazzed]

Sweetness... How you get that? School?
