Clemme w/Stick Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Yesterday my mind began to think about what it takes to become a respectable swampie. I looked at the swampies we have today, and saw some sort of pattern emerge. All the know swampies have at least 1000 posts, and some of them have less (The Lost Welshman and I think I theres one or 2 more). Now the question came to my mind. Can a completely new guy come and become as known as lets say Jais, Groovy or Rhett? I mean, if his posts is good, and never is SPAM. What do you think you have to do to earn the swampies respect? plz keep this thread a non-flameable one. BTW, what happened to the LFJA? -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You on the other hand might want to start out with slipping me a $20 and then I'll think about showing you a little respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 i think respect or likeabilty or whatever comes as an offshoot of posting. if swamp members posts and like what they are posting, they eventually start PMing, emailing and eventually messengering each other. then playing online games etc. so respect comes i think more that way, its like the grinch said, maybe respect is a little bit more, maybe, just maybe it does not come from a glowy bought at the lucas forum store and maybe if you read this post and ignore your post count your heart may grow 3 times this day and that's quite an amount, because respect and love from all swampies is worth so much, much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I msg with some of the swampies here, though I have never played with them online . I hope I get the chance when JA is released . I respect those ppl that I msg with and I hope they respect me too. I like the poem or whatever you call it that you wrote. As for gunner, heres the 20 bucks ya wanted *slaps gunner 20 bucks under the table*. Err, I mean, oh never mind that. *runs away without anyones respect*. Oh well, if you think this is SPAM then close it, instead of being somewhat a little hostile (I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your post .). -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguePhotonic Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 The only way you earn respect on forums is when your opinions are exactly the same as all the people that sort of own the board.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, what happened to the LFJA? -Clemme I see my name isn't included in the top list XD A good and respectable Swampie, I believe, is a person known by all who visit here for their overall niceness, constructive and thought-provoking comments and a general welcoming and friendly attitude. You'll get nowhere by looking for attention in the form of spamming/flaming and such. Respect can't be taken, only earned;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Talliusc Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 interesting question. im sure some people think of me as a respectable swampie and others may simply wonder who the heck the guy with the arthas avvie is. i stopped visiting these forums for a very long time and when i came back it was a real shock for me to see so many diehards still at it. but kinda saddening that i never see certain people post anymore. and what did happen to the LFJA? i believe im the only member of their opposite academy left. but whats their to oppose now? maybe i missed some goodbye threads, maybe people outgrew starwars in general or maybe people are just not posting where i see them but i miss good ol obi-wan13, reb starblazer and the ever puzzling rhett. (theres more but i dont want to drag this out too much). i wonder if many people from the swamp even remember me. ah well, ill always keep my copies of the academy wars no matter what.

Clemme w/Stick Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 @XERXES and Darky, I'm sorry for not listing you guys. Theres so many good ppl that I wanted to list and those was just the first that popped into my head. @SivyB, hmm, thats true in its own cool way. At least you get noticed with a kick@$$ av and sig pic. I dont know whether it gives you respect. Yes, it can get you a long way. -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 so... am I allowed to be a swampie then? I kinda thought I was... even though I haven't posted a lot in the last coupla months. [the ring]...it's a conundrum...[/the ring] B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Yeah, I was, uh, wondering the same thing. But as far as I heard, its not your post count or sig/av or anything, its how you act on the forums that grants you respect. But the sig/av does help, its your trademark.

•-BLaCKouT-• Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Well, I count you as a swampie Sam, 'cos you've been posting as for long as I've been about and just 'always been there'. But I guess most people think they post well, even if they don't. I dunno. The swamp's so friendly, I considered myself some part of it shortly after I stared posting here. Bugger it. I consider myself a swampie. It's up to you lot to disagree. B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawBag™ Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Well, I think I'm a swampie of sorts. I mean, I started out here. (Actually I think my first post was in the former Valley) But "respect" is a word to tread around lightly. You may call it respect if you want, as long as no-one gets upset with things that are posted on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemme w/Stick Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hmm, I would say that a swampie is a person who regulaly goes to the swamp, and has a lot of his posts in here. I might be wrong here, so am I wrong? -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Nope, I have at least 2000 of my posts here in the Swamp. Good ol' Swamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I know this goes against the 1000 post rule but I grew a high respect for people like Shock and C'jais in the Senate Chamber. Seemed very intelligent in their answers and weren't bastards. Quality posts mean a lot and it is hard to get over a thousand so if you aren't banned before then you are usually respectable enough. Took me a year to get to 1000 which averages to 3 posts a day. Not very active but I spoke what I thought and made sure most were quality posts. I respect anyone who is a hockey fan. An example of someone less than a 1000 who I admire is Homuncul. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 respect, I see lots of peeps on TV and in movies and in real life, killing each other saying, he looked at me funny, he stepped on my Nike's he dissrespected me. honestly if that counts as respect, I am happy to be the guy who holds the door open for you , goes and gets his mail and then have you shut the elevator door on me before I can get in. I live 17 floors up, but would rather walk anyday, than take a fast express elevator to modern day respect. same goes for being followed by store security, or having everyone move away from you on the subway, rather than sit with you. I don't know about respect: I can't eat it, it does not keep me warm, it is not fun to share popcorn with, or sprinkle on ice cream. give me a fun friend on msn who keeps changing his user name every 3 minutes 'you know who you' are;) or someone who can sing Bowie lyrics with you, or is always willing to talk about the Matrix, or can quote GIR at the drop of a hat, or knows who the Pixies are, who understands when I say big 10 inch; these peeps are my kind of peeps. I like them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemme w/Stick Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 I didnt say that you needed a 1000 posts to be respected here, I said that the most known swampies have 1000+ posts . I'm sorry if I made it seem I meant the other thing, that wasnt a part of my plan. -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedragon Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 well i guess i can say that im one of the respectable ones. i guess how i got respectable is that i have always had a pretty good attitude towards everyone and i posted quite alot. i also try to joke around as much as humanly possible, i love makeing people laugh (thats why i started makeing spoofs), but i think that makeing friends is what makes you mostly respectable. and flameing the hell out of sammy dident hurt (very old joke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you lose respect from someone though, it's very hard, nah, impossible to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Respect? Want my respect? Season One of Smallville on dvd comes out soon if it isn't out already, and Doritos Cool Ranch just went on sale for 2 bags for $1.50 at my local store. Respect comes from the cholesterol, my friend. Remember that. BTW, LFJA is not dead, it's just like a bear in winter time- hibernating. Then, it will awaken with the unstoppable force of awesomeness and more awesomeness.
