While We Wait: Part 3

IB is so fun. I have no idea why you're complaining.

We call people like you IB sluts in my school....congratulation's you're one of three known people who like being screwed by the IB.
 
I was always so glad I wasnt catholic or lived on the north side of the intersection (my local catholic high and the local high for the other side, i live right at the border are both mandatory IB schools).
 
You really shouldnt complain about being unaccepted at school.
Some people dont have a school to go to where they are unaccepted.
 
Sorry- I'm definetly not a mod. The last two failures proved that without a doubt in my mind. I think I wouldn't have a problem actually coming up with the updates and stuff, its just that I'm waaay to lazy to commit to anything :).

Anywho, I officially place all blame for the serious delay in the arrival at this at the fact that I received more votes for 'Best Warmonger' than das, Symphony, North King, and Dachsmpg combined :(. I am so ashamed. Note: I rearranged this to make it more rewarding for the best categories ;).

Spoiler :
[size=+2]The Best of '07[/size]
The Best New Player: Surprisingly, a three way tie ensured for the spot- Abaddon, Chandrasekhar, and Head_Serf all tied (with two votes each). Nearly every other new player was nominated, through weren't seconded.
The Best New Mod: For anyone who voted, this shouldn't have came as a surprise: with a staggering eight votes (six more than the next nominee), Birdjaguar won by a landslide. In second place, with the said two, was Head-Serf. The rest of the votes were spread out quite evenly, so no one should feel disappointed.
The Best Update: This didn't work out as I imagined, so the rules were much more lax. After I did some comparisions, Birdnes I came out as the victor of 'general' updates, through the DNES BT 1 came out the winner as the specific update.
The Best NES Map: The Greater PureNES Map took this category, with five votes. Second place fell to AFSNES.
The Best War Within a NES: The Agade Dag Wars of Religious Dominance in AFSNES won by a somewhat large margin (takign 5 votes), with the only other war to garner votes was the Catholic Wars of Birdnes (having 2votes).
The Best Alliance Within a NES: This was spread way too evenly for anyone to seriously win, as the only one to gain two votes was the Global Alliance in DaNES.
The Best Story-teller: A tie between Alex and Thlayli, with Iggy falling one vote short to make it a three-way tie.
The Best Warmonger: As sad as it may make me to make it official, Thlayli won this with a slim lead over Silver_2039: 4-3. Other nominees that managed votes were Kal'thzar, Luckymoose, and Strategos.
The Best Peacemonger: In a somewhat similar fashion, Alex beat out Iggy for this with a lead of 4-3. Nominees included TerrisH, Lightfang, and Jalapeno_dude.
The Best Diplomat: Niklas won with three votes, with other nominees including Thlayli, Kal'thzar, Shadowbound, and Symphony_D.
The Most Loyal Player: Luckymoose was the only player to gain more than one vote.
The Best Backstab: Increadibly spreadout, the only one to gain two votes was the backstab of Gorin by Croyodon.
The Most Awkward Moment There were little deviations in this and the 'Most Surprising' Category, so I combined the two. Without a doubt, with nine votes, Charles_li took this category, with 'King Ryan' (from Birdnes) coming in second with three votes.
The Most Unique Nes: In a slaughter, NESlife 3 took this category, with PureNES and ZPNES coming in second.
The Best NES: In a continuing nod to the trend, Birdjaguar took the category with Birdnes I with little competition. Other nominees with AFSNES and DNES II.
The Best of the Community: While the margin was somewhat closer than the other two categories, with contributions including a very detailed (and among the more unique) ruleset, a NES that stood strong for the greater part of a year, and finally the new attempts with Birdnes II, Birdjaguar won. Simply being himself, meaning the uber-mod, das took second, while Iggy took third for LINES II and his other more unique NESes. Finally, Symphony was nominated in fourth for his work with the maps.


As I mentioned, there were numerous nominees in almost every category, I simply didn't list every last one. Everyone in the forum was nominated for an award for something, so noone should feel bad. In general, due to the way the votes were arranged, I can honestly say that the break-out player (more of a break-out mod) was Birdjaguar.

And yes, I purposely disqualified myself for everything. Sorry- I should have made that clear. I'm hoping for a much better run next year ;).

And with that, I suddenly realized...I have not yet arrived. :lol:
 
The Swiss agency is defunct? Why pakistani? What Intelligence building?
 
If any of you guys are interested, we're trying to start (well, restart, with new rules and everything) a Model Parliament here. Membership of NESers would be great, and your participation will not go unrewarded.
 
I know my procedure was terrible Symph :p. The only reason I realized I missed people was when happened to spot your names when I was finishing the tally, and by that time I was already annoyed. It was a fiasco, and I'm already built upon the concept for next year :). Still, if you truly had nothing to add, then you wouldn't have added anything.
 
As humorous as this inanity is, IB actually stands for, if I'm not mistaken, International Baccalaureate and is roughly equivalent to an AP class, with some differences, and has a corresponding battery of tests.

I don't know for certain, as I've never been in IB, but I'm willing to bet its not any of the other things that have been suggested.

It is all and worse.

The "International Baccalaureate" (IB), or, as it is known to some, "International . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ." or the "I'm Better Program" is a graduating course for those students who enjoy an incredible amount of pain and torture before they kill themselves, who have also, in their previous lives, done horrible things, such as being a martyr, huffing kittens, participating in bear hunts, being a commie, being a member of G unit or having unprotected sex with animals. The IBO helps students build People of Mass Destruction, commonly called 'h'. This is something normal people seek to achieve, yet they loathe them at the same time.

An IB student is something similar to a human. Their lives consist solely of school related activities, mainly homework such as labs and essays, and taking notes for 'Haircutters'. Their teachers are the most dictatorial beings in the known universe and are merciless in both their curriculum and in their marking. It is believed that all the great dictators of the world once taught at an IB school, before being fired for not marking tests hard enough. Most then pursued careers in genocide and hate. All this is completed in the hopes for a better life for the IB students, but in the end the students are thrown back to the masses after having had their minds thoroughly raped by information being ass-pounded into then for four years. They are lured in with promises of achievement and placement in prestigious universities, but this cake is a lie, and their years of torture are, at best, forgotten and suppressed by expensive anti-psychotic drugs and alcohol. This is a warning to all those who may be in danger of falling upon the same fate: DO NOT succumb to the evil. Taking IB may be comparable to giving up a cruise across the ocean and swimming via the arctic circle instead: same destination, and about five more years in the hospital. IB drop outs, otherwise known as normies, have been seen in studies to display higher levels of happiness, fun, and chances of getting laid than their IB counterparts. Although many normies turn to drugs and alcohol as a way of healing the pain (emotional and physical) caused by the IB program, most doctors have concluded that students' chances of liver disease and heart failure are lower outside of the program.

It is known that only about 0.0001% of IB students don't gain stress or madness from International Baccalaureate. But it is also known that that 0.0001% were probably nuts to begin with (which would be the REAL reason they chose IB), so they didn't have any sanity to lose, unlike everyone else. Example: Josh Hunt. How he manages to get away without suffering is beyond the mental capacity of the greatest minds known to International Baccalaureate. Then there is the rare man like David Baake who IB drove to nothing at all... somehow this man did not do anything but drink and smoke and still passed IB.

I lol'd.

Anyway, in the realm of randomness, this is an interesting read for people who like things like geography.
 
Oh man, am I going to have to give that link to people taking IB at my school.

I'm not done yet, but...interesting. Perhaps one of the non-depressing factors to come out of that report is the potential for a reorganized mass transit system that isn't bureaucratized to all hell.

Just look at the urban trolley systems at the turn of the century to see public transportation done (relatively) right. Now just make it light rail with maglev systems, and you might actually have a chance of reducing urban gridlock and other problems...if you can successfully extend it to the suburbs.

Seems like gentrification is the only de facto solution to urban decay, though.
