Place Your Bets!
« on: September 30, 2006, 01:41:42 AM »

Since people are starting to reach 200 karma points in both directions (both negative and positive) I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to see who we think will be the first member to reach -1000. This milestone of an achievement will be here by January by the looks of it. Then again I don't know how stupid people can be.

Place your bets / predictions below as to whom you think will be the first person to reach -1000.

You! My vendetta starts now!  :evil:

My bet is 5 shiney pennies and a photoshopped picture of a rooster against Evonus beating me.

Yup, my vote, Evonus I'm sure he will make a run for it.

Do I get a cookie for reach +10000 karma points?

Hey, if you can't be notoriously loved why not be notoriously hated. ;)

Interesting theory, Machiavelli.

Evonus FTW!

and for 1000 karma, if we don't count the person who already has over 10k karma, I'm Guessing Cat (Or Demo).

You better believe it. You should do something for the first person to make it to - 1000, like reset their negative karma to 0. ;)

My money's on Evonus too. He has something to strive for now.

Yeah, no stacking the odds, people.

And Evonus, if you're going to start posting things even more deserving of negative karma just to make it to -1000, I, for one, will ban you every other day if necessary.

Nah, there's no need. I can just beat myself and be the village troll.  8-)

Does arguing his political opinions qualify as baiting us for negative karma?

Evonus, I think that no matter how much negative karma you give PB...not even if you sat there with a stopwatch to smite him every hour on the hour, I still don't think he'd ever beat you.

In the words of Dom Irerra, I mean that in a good way.

That's questionable. I wonder if I can smite him from work.

It's not fair unless you have a  legitimate reason to smite him. Considering he's been a member for four years and he only has -11 karma, I'd say those reasons don't surface all too often.

Karma hasn't been in place that long, =)

Yeah but still...

hey, I just noticed I have like -23 karma. When'd that  happen?
