Promotion Level Contest

[Tormod]

Time to vote in the Promotion Level Contest!

 

Remember that the purpose of this contest is to get "level names" for 6 new user levels. These levels will be automatically gained by users as they reach the given post count level. Reaching a level will enable new features, more PM storage, avatar sizes, provide increased access, secret stuff and needless to say the endless admiration of fellow (lower-level) members.

 

You vote by selecting the name - first level name of the members whose entry you choose to vote for. This means that you can vote for more than one entry - however, you will only be able to vote *once*. We will pick the one who gets the most votes by the end of February 28 (ie, next Monday).

Buffy's entry has been sucked into a black hole for breaking our hypographic rules for orderly behaviour in competitions.

 

Happy voting!

[Buffy]

"Captain! A black hole just appeared off the starboard bow!"

"Impulse Engines! Full reverse!"

"She canna' take any more Cap'n!"

"Scotty! We need more power!"

"AAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

 

Cheers!

"I canna break the laws of physics, Captain"

- Scotty

[Buffy]

"Captain, the chronometer is running...backwards!"

"....a Time Warp... Analysis Mr. Spock?"

"It appears that our trajectory kept us far enough away from the black hole to avoid tearing apart the ship, however although time warps have been postulated in theory, there has never been an instance of one being observed on record."

"Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not an astrophysicist!"

"Later Bones. Spock our chances of getting out of this mess?"

"I suppose listening to Spock do math is better than being eaten by a black hole..."

"Why thank you, Dr. McCoy. While is difficult to be precise, I would say the odds are approximately 1,342,455.7 to one."

 

Whew! That was a close one! I made it back!

 

Cheers,

Buffy

Which episode is that from?

[Buffy]

Its a compendium, and partly made up. The first two lines are from the end of "The Naked Time" (Sulu says the first line). I'm pretty sure that of all the things that McCoy said he was not, "astrophysicist" was not among them. If you've watched enough episodes, its pretty easy to make this stuff up! A friend of mine used to say: "All Star Trek episodes are the same: 'Is it alive?' 'Captain kisses this week's babe' 'We're all going to die!' and 'Whew, that was a close one!'"

 

Cheers,

Buffy

Vote 4 Zad's... Vote 4 Zad's! The power of Hypography compels you to vote 4 Zad's. :( Yes, stare into my hypnovision and vote for Zad.

[Turtle]

___I didn't anticipate campaigning. Nonetheless, vote for Turtle! I implore you; there is only one logical choice before you. The other candidates offer creative propositions, but one way or another they either excede in seriousness or jockularity.

___Fellow creatures, I appeal to your sense of logic & pity; stem the tide of mediocrity & vote for Turtle. I only seek to serve. :(

PS Free ice cream in the lounge if I win.

Duh...so when you took multiple choice tests in school, did you check just one box, hand it in to the teacher, ask for it back, check another box, etc?

 

You need to check all the relevant boxes during your vote...that's why I wrote "you can only vote once"...!

 

:(

[Tormod]
