Heh, I like this one. I like eits, but he is being very silly in that thread. :D

Yeah, just say "I was wrong" and move on. I've been wrong about a few QB prospects before, the biggest ones being Jeff George and Michael Vick. Jeff George taught me the importance of attitude and work ethic and Vick is what sealed my conviction that running QBs are doomed in the NFL.

P.S. Hey Bears fans, Cutler is this decade's Jeff George.

Oh was he the one that you were talking about with saying stupid stuff about that (that therefore you not moving on yourself I found annoying)?

I'm not surprised, eits has had that stubbornness on a few topics.

I agree. Used to get multiple very clear threads that did an amazing job of demonstrating exactly what ownage was.

Like fleabag thinking about transmission swaps to get perfect gearing to drive a Civic on some hill to a gym, inflating tires, or cold starting cars (which of course he was an expert about after watching his dad start their suburban or whatever...at Lake Tahoe, in winter!). Or the guy that complained about his girlfriend not being able to bail him out of jail for stealing a cell phone from someone at Wal-Mart (with an elaborate story about how they didn't steal it at all, they were just taking it to make sure they got the phone the rightful owner). And then it got dug up that he admitted to stealing people's phones at parties in another thread. And I think he also admitted to stealing DVDs from Wal-Mart, and just happened to be selling a bunch of shrinkwrapped DVDs in the FS/T forum. And there was some kid that...actually I can't entirely remember, I just remember that the mods ended up contacting the kid's school or parents over it. And tons of other awesome threads (I seem to remember a 9/11 Truthers one too).

We used to get like a good 10 of those a year. Now we get "Alkemyst hijacks half the threads for a week" or "Yet Another Dari threads", or lameass trolls that leave me fondly remembering what'shisname that used to intentionally not use the h in words. Well that and futurefields and Anarchist420 making threads to try and argue with people about inane shit.

AndroidVageta was the iPhone thief. Horrible human being.

that isn't self ownage ... that is just ownage.

He claimed credit for orchestrating and engineering his own ownage. That makes it legit self ownage and is a strong candidate for this award, complete with a short, easily understood post count pertaining to the ownage which makes the ownage an easy read and isn't tl;dr. Also, great pics are included with the ownage making the ownage self evident.
The subject of this nomination was both owned, and self owned in a single ownage event. This is an amazing achievement and is worthy of the 2014 self ownage award.

Also, upon realizing the gravity of the ownage inflicted, his backpedaling and claims of credit for said ownage makes the ownage just that much worse. A true masterpiece.

:D

Anyway, IIRC, this used to be "ownage of the year" and not "self-ownage of the year." I think what happened some years ago is that incidents of self-ownage, clearly in their own tier of magnificence, dominated the trophy, so I guess, maybe, it was renamed?

I think this should qualify as ownage--yes, I believed it wasn't your soup. (self-ownage would be continued denial from my part, which never happened)

I will leave it up to the voters to determine whether or not my expectation of being owned as soon as I posted that, should qualify for a nomination. Meaning, I wouldn't say it was engineered so much as I fully understood the gravity of my comment, and was more than willing to suffer the consequences.

LOL haha. Do you know how ridiculous we sound? It is a rather serious subject though. Internet ownage, a curious phenomenon, is both highly desired, and darkly feared.

I'm trying my best to not detract from the greatness of your post/ownage, while at least preserving some modicum of pride by illuminating my own preconceived willingness in this whole affair.

Perhaps it best I just left it as it was...but others had already shined to the notion that there was probably some intent on my part. :\

I love you, zin, but I just don't buy into your endless, torturous, after-the-fact attempts to blunt the impact of your obvious self-ownage. In their own way, they constitute more self-ownage, just not as entertaining. :biggrin:

That horse? It's dead, zin, dead. Stop beating it! :p

Well, I'm fine with however you want to see my antics after the fact, but I truly am concerned that the nomination is somewhat tainted. It is a lofty honor, and I would hate to be the one with an * next to my name.

I fully accept all grief, of course.


It just doesn't compare to something like this, though:

Final stretch. So far, and while most people probably know that I feel adlep deserves a hefty consideration, to me it is far and away eits. That thread is looking like it might be epic self-ownage (although sadly I'm expecting it'll turn out like RGIII's career thus far, promising but will probably fall short of expectations with occasional dips and blips; largely because I'm guessing eits will abandon it or keep ignoring the calls on his claims of his personal intimate involvement and knowledge of the situation).

Hey, I admit, I like poking the bear. :D

After reading that thread (and my previous experiences with eits) I completely rescind my complaints with regards to your posting about that subject.

I was wrong. Hell I'll even say I probably was wrong about RGIII, I'm not sure what I said about him, but I recall praising him a decent amount. I still think he can be a good QB (I definitely wish Andy Reid could trade Alex Smith for him), but you were generally right.

AndroidVageta was the iPhone thief. Horrible human being.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Absolutely.

What did Zin do? Besides managing to make his self ownage become just downright pathetic. I mean, he's really trying to sustain it, but he just doesn't have the mix of ignorance and assholery to realize it's potential so now it's just sad.
