[Hallucination]

One day Jedi Knight Watson McAwesomesauce woke up and thought to himself "Man, it would awesome if I won something for doing little to no work aside from signing up!" And the idea made him happy.

 

Very happy.

 

And so he did. And he waited eagerly for the results, hoping to win against people who actually worked for a reward. And then he told himself and others that it was a social experiment so as to not look like a total jerk.

[Jae Onasi]

The level of effort in your story is inversely proportional to my desire to ban you so hard your children will be begging for mercy for writing this.

[Da_man]

^ Agreed, but just this stupid thread.

[DarthJebus05]

You got my vote.

[Writer]

Good for a laugh, that's for sure... but only if you read it word for word instead of trying to skim it to see what makes a character happy... I read it three times before I actually laughed about it.

 

Let me know how your 'social experiment' ends

[Emperor Devon]

The characters were stale and the plot was linear, but the sheer lack of effort that was involved in this piece almost makes me want to vote for it.

[Sabretooth]

Actually, I liked this one. It showcases in a minimalistic way the reflection of the author's being and self, showing a sort of decadence in human nature wherein the effortless approach has perhaps become the best. It is a thinly veiled allegory at life, at the very uselessness of it all and the desperation with which man clings to hope and procrastination at the same time.

 

It represents mankind's newfound throwing away of the conventional morals and the baseless ethic of taking unnecessary pains to accomplish a task that will only serve you for the next week of survival, which translates as useless when compared with magnanimous and multi-dimensional nature of existence.

 

As a famous gyrating Surrealist once said six years before his birth, "Would it not be wiser to kill the cat than to excrete shaved metal plates?"

[Da_man]

^ Um...what?

[Rok_stoned]

Frog blast the vent core.

My thoughts exactly.

QFT!

[Rev7]

This is a joke right...

[Hallucination]

I prefer the term 'social experiment.'

[Jae Onasi]

I prefer the term 'disqualified' myself.

[Sabretooth]

And on what grounds?

[Bee Hoon]

Technically speaking, it *is* on topic. Spot on, as it happens

[igyman]

Well, he's got my vote. Originality is everything people!

[Jae Onasi]

I'll leave that call up to Writer, actually--if he feels it meets his intentions, I'll let it stand. If not, feel free to vote, but Hall won't be able to get the win.

[Hallucination]

Jae's just afraid of losing to me.

[Writer]

If she were truly afraid of that, she'd have disqualified you immediately rather than leaving the choice up to me. All I can say is this: if you have the most votes come poll's close, you'd better hope I'm in a favorable mood

 

EDIT (4/26/08): Favorable mood be damned! You have put absolutely zero effort into your 'entry' in a contest that others try to take seriously. I may have been amused the third time I read it, but this little 'social experiment' of yours has gone on long enough and received far more votes than it's worth. Jae left the decision to me, so here it is.

 

You are disqualified from this month's contest. Sorry to keep you waiting until the last day, but this is my decision.

[Darth InSidious]

A perfect example of lineal thought, this work exemplifies the postprandial school of Spagyric writing. Simplicity of texture is counterpointed by equal paucity in verbiage, resulting in an exuberant glossal cantrip.

 

And yet, as employed throughout the work of the Widdershins School, the intertextual reality of the underlying anthropic is the perfect balance to this structure so reminiscent of the early works of Johannes Ockeghem. But where Ockeghem's transitional metatheoretical polyphony is ultimately let down by its own timely but ultimately somewhat inevitable phenomenality, the transeudaimonic spirit of ousia present within this work is its salvation.

 

As with the Songs of Ignorance cycle of Amenemhat II, the exaltation of base, yet innocent desire, while superficially a mere hyperostensive inference of the fundamental Avicennic modality of our own ontology, as the piece progresses, it becomes clear that what was at first ineluctably hyssopic is an intractable gradual upon the transubstantiative nature of our own concupiscential form.

 

What begins in an Aristotelian quest for oikiai, reaching an aneuric height in the third beve transforms, midflight, into an exposition of noumenal, and - dare I say it, Perluigian – hydroanalytic dialectic, ultimately espousing a Sothisian 'pataphysics reminiscent in mood to Thomas' Elegiac Redaction of Kant's Groundwork.

 

Overall, a truly exemplary introduction to Ulixes, marred only perhaps by the gradient of the scapulal misdirection inherent in the apaschal theme.

[Jae Onasi]

Here, let me translate for DI: "It's a piece of crap."

 

[True_Avery]

Congrats Hall, your social experiment worked and I must say...

 

I applaud you. I give you a standing ovation for what you have single-handedly done.

 

You have caused more singular social unrest in the chats, IM's, PM's, and members of this forums than any thread in the amount of words you used. You've got people wishing harm on you. You've got people who never want to post in this forum again. You've got people who want you banned for this. You've got people that want this thread locked and deleted.

 

Its amazing to behold. I thought people would snicker at this thread and move on. But no. Nooooo. You've got enough drama on your tail to write books.

 

Which, socially, shows how fragile all this is and how easy it is to get under people's skin.

 

So I applaud both you, and everyone else that made this thread into the popular gem it never deserved to be. Thank you for taking something very simple and blowing it far, far out of the water. Thank you for letting this simple, funny thread get under your skin and cause so much drama.

 

And for those of you that don't know what I'm talking about... consider yourself lucky.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

Hal, I am making you an official Internet Superhero for this. Well done, sir. Well done.

[Da_man]

^ WHats an Internet Superhero anyways, and why am I not apart of it?
