Title: Some fan-created "Concentration" fantasy MSPaint goodness.
Post by: DoorNumberFour on August 04, 2007, 09:28:57 PM
This was one of my favorite GS photos that I've seen, featuring one of my all-time favorite games.

And, well, I was jealous of Mr. Downs in all his Concentration-hosting glory.

But the end result didn't look bad at all.

Anyone else ever have a similar urge to put themselves in a game show?

If you're going to paste yourself in a GS photo, shouldn't you at least look like you *belong* on the show?

And not making what looks like a gang sign?

Um, sorry.

Wasn't aware of the rules regarding pasting yourself in a photo.

No one said I was trying to look like anyone or anything.

Just having fun with Paint, is all.

Thought it looked interesting.

Nobody said there were rules, but if you're looking for adulation, you're probably in the wrong place.

Never said anything about adulation, either.

Basically, all I said was "Hey, I put myself in a GS picture. It was fun to do. Has anyone else done this?"

Nothing to garner adulation whatsoever.

No, but you did say that it "didn't look bad at all," so either you were in fact looking for reinforcement or you were offering the comment for others to agree or disagree as they saw fit.  If the former is true, then Mr. Lemon is dead on.  If the latter, you should not be surprised that others did in fact offer their opinions.

Which wasn't my intention, but I see how it could easily be read that way. Mea culpa.

This is the perfect example of how no one can post anything on here without it becoming WWIII.  Amazing!!

This is the perfect example of how no one from the GSN board can come here without trashing us -- in your case, on your very first post -- just because we allow actual discussion and Guide_Angel doesn't.

Hint: "I say something and everyone agrees with it" is not "discussion," and "Someone posts something and others agree or disagree calmly" is not a "war."

Oh really? In the SUBJECT LINE at the top, you wrote:

"I figured it would go somewhat-appreciated here."

I think you can't handle the fact that most people here (except for our new Wow-inducing first time poster)  think that it's a silly looking photo. Not you specifically, rather,  the whole idea of the photo.

And yes, the gang sign thing is creepy.

Then let it look silly. I have no problem handling that. Like I said before, all I did was post a homemade picture. You like it, cool. You don't like it, that's cool too.

I settled my end of the argument a while ago, admitting that I might not have worded my post in the best way possible. My apology stays.

And no defense was necessary on the part of the new member. This wasn't WWIII. Someone disagreed with me, and we settled it like decent gentlemen. I'm fine with that.

If that is a gang sign, I had no idea.

I am not affiliated with, nor do I condone, any gang at all.

I didn't think it actually was, it just looked like one.

But, with that, I must ask: what the hell IS it?

Then don't come over here. This is a board where disagreements are actually welcomed. You see DoorNumberFour addresses the criticisms and even took some into consideration. Boy, I see the chairs flying now!

It's nothing, really.

You see, I took this picture a while back, mainly to show off to my brother that watch I was wearing.

That's why I'm pointing to the side like that.

I just meant to point, and I guess that's how it ended up looking.

Exactly.  We don't expect that people will never make mistakes; that's what human beings do every now and then, after all.  (There are those who think that they don't, but they tend not to last long here.)  We expect that if you do make a mistake, you acknowledge it, apologize and do your best not to repeat it.  DoorNumberFour did the first two and has given no reason to believe that he won't do the third.

One of these days I'm going to add a new Eligibility Requirement: "If another member disagrees with something that you posted, tough s**t.  It's allowed here.  And guess what?  You can disagree with something someone else posted too."

I feel like I should reference Boondocks here, but I'm not sure what I should say.

This is completely random, but I saw the Concentration PC game on the shelf.

It took him so long to get his two cents in that inflation made them worth barely a ha'penny. :)

Rule of Internets #12:  90% of the time, "fan-created" anything will invariably lead to the dramma at some point, whether as an active ingredient or as a catalyst.
