The "how much would you pay to ban Geeky1 for day" thread



Seeing as I still owe you for COUNTLESS digs, jibes and comments about my stature and coding prowess.. it's time for a little payback

The premise is simple:

Just as the leet processor has taken it's turn, now shall I add an additional folding@home donation incentive.

The highest bidder in the next seven days has the distinction of being added to Geeky1's AIM list and listening to him rant about me and yourself and how we banned him for the day

Il start at a $1, now remember.. it's for the folding team.. so be sporting

Ps. Yes, Geeky.. you are allowed to bid to get a "get out of jail free" card

Edit:// Seeing as he so kindly added the designated driver comment... $150 between a group would get him banned for a WEEK!

It's for a good cause (and not just the phychological experiment to see if he can survive a day not posting on SM)

hmm... how much is actually being able to get some work done (hell, maybe I'll even beat GT3) for a day worth...

lemme think about that and get back to you...

oh, and Shorty, you're so short that your designated driver uses a remote control to get you home.

Wow

Such a generous offer from prime

Who can beat that??!

Incidently, if a group was to form to collect an amount between them... that would be acceptable

Ps.. Geeky. I can make it a week if we raise $150 (for that comment)

Hmmm... this way, the more annoying Geeky is, the more we fold! Brilliant!

He's not obnoxious enough for me to bid (yet) though.

Team USA has bid $90

Team Canada has bid $20, with Keto at the helm

Team UK?

Team Australia?

Come on you cheap foreigners, pay money to ban the spoiled american capitalist!

I think you just gave up your life... being that you will be perma banned and thus loose your mind within hours.

But I guess you won't be IMing me while I am in a game ever again either...

I have a kinder, gentler relationship with Shorty now. I feel no compulsion to live days past and regurgitate old propaganda to rail on Dan's diminutive (Yet powerful!) stature. Surely it is not the size of the man but the size of the man's heart that makes us who we are.

Leave me out of this.

Can the leading bidder bid again
(As in adding to the USA team's bid... come on, this is pretty lopsided ;p)

I'm willing to chip in towards a new challenger's bid as long as you don't have some silly rule like "only people outside of USA"

There are no rules

You wanna bid more, I don't want to ban geeky for more than a few days. so the more money we get, Il have to do things like avatar, title & sig... just to add to it..

Infact... others can select his title and avatar once he returns from his ban

IF they are on the winning team and raise enough cash

COME ON YOU CHEAP ENGLISHMEN.

I know the canadians are out of this one - They'd have to raise like $42,123 canadian to compete with $200 US

Come on! Your pounds are worth a lot more than our dumb greenbacks, so throw some jolly old "quid" together, you "chaps"

That's not necessarily a horrible thing. The pursuit of a weak dollar policy is quite healthy for an economy that needs to come back -- but on this forum, that's neither here nor there.

Ahem. Pardon my sidetracking.
