1997 comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic Awards ceremony
Riboflavin
Well, as the new year begins, it's time to take a look back at the most
interesting people of 1997. Here are the winners of the coveted 1997
Allegood Awards for comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic. (these are in the form
of award name:explanation of award:winner and details)
Also, I'd like to solicit ideas/nominations for other awards like these, and
for some game awards for 1997 (ex: who will win the Outpost Award?). I'll be
doing a game awards post whenever I get around to it. I might also do a
second set of award if I have some more ideas.
007 Award: For aggressive use of a killfile: Salt. Old Salt. While many
people make use of a killfile to increase enjoyment of their own online
experience, Old Salt not only makes use of one, but gives frequent
announcements of who has been added to his killfile. It is estimated that by
the year 2000, 75% of the Western World will be in Old Salt's killfile. It
is rumored that the US Census will be cross-checked with Salt's killfile for
completeness.
Clinton Waffle Award: For biggest reversal of position: Mark Asher. At the
beginning of the year, Mark was one of the biggest Derek Smart detractors.
He incited Derek to threaten him with a cease and desist order, and prompted
the 'why don't you go jerk off Mark Asher' line. Now he is a strong
anti-BC3K thread demonstrator, railing against the continuation of the BC3K
online game. Will he succeed in eliminating the subject line BC3K? Will he
return to Derek flaming? Will he get tired of the whole thing? Only time
will tell.
No Pants Award: For most use of references to not wearing pants: Riboflavin
(tm). No further explanation needed. Film at 11.
Reversed Response Reward (OK, so I like alliteration): For strangest
responses to criticism: Steve 'Red' Bauman. Steve tends to respond with
heavy sarcasm and an extremely defensive posture to polite questions, but
carries on polite discourse with Critical Bill, one of the most vocal
critics of magazines everywhere. Why? The world wonders.
Muckraker award: For exposing corruption in areas most are not that
concerned with: Critical Bill. Critical Bill is occasionally a bit on the
nutty side of life, but points out some rather interesting problems with
game magazines. The most humorous was when he mentioned journalistic ethics
(in regards to one reviewer getting a free plane ride for a game he reviewed
and another writing a review and a strat guide for a game) and the game
journalists had no idea what he was talking about.
Plutonium Atom Totality award: For kookiest science: Cleve 'McCarthy'
Blakemore, with his exquisite theories. Testosterone is responsible for all
noble characteristics, and estrogen compels people to reside in strict
hierarchies and follow group standards. A single use of any drug permanently
destroys massive parts of your intellect. Squatting and sitting under blue
lights helps you gain muscle mass. Cleve definitely is not made
uncomfortable by other people, they are made uncomfortable by him.
Kafka Award: biggest kook: Derek "Popeye" Smart. Let's face it, the guy's
nuts. 8 years and $3.5 million on a game that doesn't work? "Smarter than
you can possibly imagine"? Center of the longest running flamewar in the NG?
Need I say more? Well, I am what I am and I know who I am and those who know
me know that Derek received stiff competition from Cleve 'Testosterone'
Blakemare, but Cleve lacks the volume and legions of supporters and
detractors which Derek has. Cleve's interesting science did, however, when
the Plutonium Atom Totality award.
Don Quixote Award: For most bizarre assault on an obscure cause: Eric
Dysband. The famous shareware debate on Space Empires 3, in which Eric
crusaded against people using the software in a manner explicitly condoned
by the publisher, will live in the annals of goofiness forever. Eric in fact
appeared to be making a play for the 007 award during this thread,
killfiling any voices of dissent, but comes nowhere near Old Salt in sheer
killfiling frenzy.
Johnny Cochraine Award: For most bizarre defense of a bad design decision:
Helmet of AOE fame. For all of the brain dead AI and interface issues,
Helmet had a response. Villagers stop and get eaten by lions? Well, you'd
freeze in fright if you saw a lion too! Guys can't walk through a hole in
the wall? You try storming a breach in a wall! Richard Wesson was a close
runner up, with answer to your catapults killing your horsemen even though
you've told them not to shoot. Well, those horsemen are arrogant and stuck
up, and pissed off the catapult guys. Willy also ran close, claiming that
anyone who didn't like the game only didn't like it because it was from MS.

Ha ha -- well, I just got tired of it. You ever see any reruns of "All
in the Family"? Just not funny anymore, though I remember enjoying
them as a kid. There's a time for everything, and Derek Smart bashing
has seen its better days, at least until the release of BC3K 2.5 or
whatever that will be called.
Time to move on.

Ribo, this is by far the funniest stuff I've ever read. Especially the
Cochrane award above. Unbelievable.
Lets hope 98 brings as much interesting shit as last year.

The 007 award is funny as hell, too. And as you can see, Old Salt is
starting the new year out as strong as ever- he's in a heated
killfile discussion with some guy named Joe, and has already put Kajun
in his killfile (based on request-haha, thats great, man!).
Yo, and its not even 24hours into 98 yet!
Wooo!
Let's start this party out with a bang!!

Heh... can't resist a little jab still, huh? It's going to be 2.0, and
should be finished in time for Christmas. Derek has been posting to the
bc3000ad newsgroup but not here for the last little bit, so maybe he's
gotten a clue and the flamewar will end. I won't be holding my breath,
though.
>Time to move on.
Well, what I thought was funny was not that you moved on, which many have
done, but that you stopped posting and now complain about the threads pretty
often. It's that complete switch that got me.

That would be me, Kman. Read my post about why this "heated"
discussion is taking place. Somehow, Old Fart has taken on the role
of "Moderator" of this unmoderated newsgroup, and is trying to mold it
into his own belligerent, senile image.

Well, I enjoyed this post of yours. I haven't paid attention to the
BC3K threads though, so perhaps I missed some good posts of yours
there.

Have I complained about them often? I hadn't realized that I had.
At least the BC3K posters should be polite enough to put "BC3K" in
every thread heading so as to make killfiles work better. If they want
to title something "Cattle Brusier" at least slip in BC3K also.

Ahh, Old Salt, my old nemisis. Truely someone who lives up to his online
name. I remember when I first started seeing his posts here about a year
ago (although he 'claimed' to have a heavy online prescense here for
years, I had never noted his name as a frequent contributor till then).
He had appointed himself the 'Net Police' for this strategy NG, busting
SERIOUS balls at anyone that posted strategy games for sale like he
owned the fucking NG or something.
Like most open minded and easy-to-get-along intelligent persons, I
jumped on OS for his self-appointed censorship, and knew he was trouble
simply by the passion and typical closed-mindedness of his attitude and
responses to posters and myself. Note the pompousness of his post here,
he really is quite full of himself (and whether thats full of salt or
shit I do not know). Perhaps he was a tele-evangilist at one time. It's
unquestionable OS has went to the Derek Smart School of Charm, or he's
at least friends with Rod White of PC&ME magazine, another blowhard of
epic proportions.
Oh well, Old Salt, you don't intimidate me in anyway enough to put you
in a kill file (unlike you, you woos), I enjoy looking for and reading
your posts for entertainment purposes and watching you ostrasise
yourself from others, and of course to console the newbies to this
Newsgroup you try to intimidate and control, to let them know they're
welcome here and to pay no attention to you, unless your providing tips
to a game (which I'll give you your very good at).
Happy New Year to you Old Salt, I hope for your New Year's Resolution
you promised yourself you'd try to pull that stick outta your ass and be
a little more open minded this coming year.
Cheers,
Grundman

This is the same guy that started a huge thread by posting his
"Troll-o-meter" in reply to some poor shmuck who wanted to know
how other new fathers found time to game. Left alone, this thread
might have generated 5-10 posts. After Salt was through, there had
to be over 50.

It's obvious that he was trying for the Coveted 1997 Allegood 007 Award
long before it was even invented. If he killfiled people silently, no

I was kill-filed earlier this week. Then Old Fart apologized to me
in some obscure message to someone completely different, and took me
out of his kill-file. Then, when I logged on this morning, I found I
had been kill-filed again!
Man, it's almost like having multiple personalities.

What continually amazes me is that Old Salt rails against people
posting off-topic messages and trolls and yet I don't think I have
ever seen the guy post a message about an actual game !

Alright, there are two things I don't understand. First, who is this Old
Salt guy, and what is he doing on my hard drive? Second, where did this
mysterious sailor come from? I mean, I use to see maybe three or four posts
a month from him about wargaming topics which were obviously written by
someone with a lucid mind. But lo and behold, 1998 arrives and every other
post appears to be by this gentleman! Yet it seems that some form of scurvy
has overtaken this venerable old sailor, causing him to ramble on in codes
and riddles. Perhaps the Old Salt of old has actually been overtaken by his
evil twin Old Spice, whose nefarious schemes seek to undermine this NG and
all that hold it dear.

Touché !
Just out of interest - just what games do you like ? I believe
historical wargames is an obvious one.

After all we need some sort of tradition here Ribo, just like the rose
parade had to start small. It brings a tear to my eye to be present at
the birth of this great award ceremony :)

As if a Lurker would be one of the ones killfiled? HAH! you only
killfile anyone who doenst agree with you.
I'll make it easy for you, I hereby give you permission to killfile me
and NOT let me know about it, since I am assuming the worse.

Now now now, lets not pick on Old Salt. While the defination
of by-the-book features a picture of Old Salt, I wouldn't go as far
as comdemming him because of it. He knows whats right and whats wrong,
and while the rest of us will lets things slide, we cannot force him
to be like us. He is free to roam the net like everybody else.

Yes, you lost the race for awards.
Anyway, those awards were an idea I had off of the top of my head. The 1998
awards will be more inclusive, unless I abandon the project midyear.
