Is HM good enough?

Bee · 01-28-2003, 03:15 PM

So Athina Roussel, the heiress to the Onassis fortune, is set to inherit $2.7 billion when she turns 18 tomorrow. She's also pretty cute. Any chance "cocky and funny" would work?

jamesUMD · 01-28-2003, 03:35 PM

That's probably who he was chatting with on the Internet in the first place. He's already been there and done that. Why would he want to revisit lands already conquered? By the way I haven't seen that guy Northstar lately. What happened to him?

Daimyo · 01-28-2003, 03:39 PM

How many Lincoln Navigators and fur coats can you buy with $2.7 billion?

MylesKnight · 01-28-2003, 03:42 PM

What's the deal with HM anyhow? Was he really Banned?

Ben E Lou · 01-28-2003, 03:42 PM

No, he was suspended.

Ben E Lou · 01-28-2003, 03:45 PM

Dola---I posted this over at the old board shortly before it went down....

OK. Here's the deal. After some time figuring out my role and modding style, I have landed on two basic levels of "punishment" to use:

1. Suspension--"The Penalty Box"
When I suspend someone, all I do is remove their ability to post. They can log in to the forum as their normal name, and read/browse anywhere they want. However, they can't start any new threads, or reply to any existing threads. Depending on the severity of the behavior that caused the suspension, I can see suspensions being for as little as 3 days to as much as 1 month. There is no IP restriction involved with suspension. I just tell the person to e-mail me to remind me when their time in the Penalty Box is done. This is the punishment I've given Horns.

2. Banning--"The Death Penalty"
Banning is a harsher penalty. The person's account is deleted and their e-mail and IP addresses is blocked. They are unable to ever re-register as their original name. It is the closest thing to an FOFC death penalty that exists.
I prefer not to ban anyone under most circumstances. (The exception to that being the occasional pirate who shows up and their first post is asking for a crack for a game. I shamelessly take great delight in giving first-time-posting pirates an immediate no-questions-asked banning, with all the trimmin's.) If a person wants to come back a few months after a banning, they can contact me and state how they intend to change their behavior. There's only one person other than the handful of aforementioned first-time-posting pirates who is currently banned from FOFC. Hope that helps y'all understand.

Well SkyDog, while that's good to know, it doesn't help me in finding out if "cocky and funny" will work with the cute little billionaire!

BTW, my wife doesn't think I have much chance even if I am "cocky and funny".

cthomer5000 · 01-28-2003, 03:50 PM

is this a major game-misconduct penalty?

Ben E Lou · 01-28-2003, 03:55 PM

Well, he'll be reinstated tomorrow.

MylesKnight · 01-28-2003, 03:57 PM

Just what does this "Soon to be rich Broad" look like anyway?

Anrhydeddu · 01-28-2003, 03:57 PM

Time is test the Ignore function, I presume?

Ksyrup · 01-28-2003, 03:58 PM

She's Greek, I'm Greek...I've got an edge right there. I'll just have to deal with my wife.

rkmsuf · 01-28-2003, 03:59 PM

3 way perhaps?

Kodos · 01-28-2003, 03:59 PM

I think the question is whether or not she is good enough for HM.

astralhaze · 01-28-2003, 04:00 PM

Even while he is gone, you play right in to his hands. His whole deal is getting attention, good or bad.

Anrhydeddu · 01-28-2003, 04:02 PM

You know, I wonder if EVERYONE has Ignore=HM, what would the board look like??? Would we create the first artificial blackhole?

There's a joke here, I promiss. I'll just be kind and let someone else get it.

Ksyrup · 01-28-2003, 04:07 PM

Let me add to your joke then. I'm actually half-Greek and half-Polish.

sabotai · 01-28-2003, 04:56 PM

Must be nice to just be rich for who your grandfather was....yes, you're damn right I'm jealous!

EDIT: Did I miss something big? What was HM suspended for?

Turned out that SkyDog was the person HM was chatting with and HM stood him up on their date.

she certainly didn't look 13. (Ok, now I'll take "Things I hope I never have to say to a judge" for $200, Alex).

Screw that! For $2.7 billion, I'd hit a 13 year-old Greek style right on the judge's desk during court.

Bee · 01-28-2003, 08:25 PM

Here's a more recent photo

And I don't care if she looked like Rosie O'Donnell for $2.7 billion.

Axxon · 01-28-2003, 10:12 PM

It looks like she's already dating John Laroquette though.

Craptacular · 01-28-2003, 10:14 PM

I was thinking the exact same thing Axxon.

Easy Mac · 01-28-2003, 10:19 PM

I actually saw a picture of her in I think USA Today. She didn't look to bad from behind, of couse, most girls don't look to bad from behind in the dark either.

For 2.7 billion, I would have no trouble doing her. Hell, I'd do her for a big mac if it meant i got to have sex.

My favorite was the Riverbottom Nightmare Band. How did the words to that song go? something about not brushing their teeth?

sabotai · 01-29-2003, 02:26 PM

She gets another $2 billion on her 21st birthday.....so jealous....
