Who do you appreciate on a.cc? Why?

Post about your favourite a.cc members on this thread. Don't post about your least favourite ones though, because it might make some people cry, ok? :-X

I'll go first \o/
Onewing is one of my favourite a.cc members... Good sense of humour, seems like someone you'd actually want to meet in real life.
I also like piccolo because... Well, do I really need to explain??
Richard Phipps has a special place in my heart, but only when he's not acting pervy.
Last but not least... Matthew Leverton! Very nice guy once you get to know him ;)

Let's see...

Thomas Fjellstrom, cuz he knows like everything.
X-G, because he's hilarious.
Archon, because you can't not like Archon.
Kibiz0r, because his posts are thoughtful.
BAF, just because.
KittyCat, my fellow Washingtonian.
ReyBrujo, because he's like a big cuddly teddy bear.

Where's the love for miran? He's helped so many people...

X-G, gnolam and company usually come off as pretty strong, but that's just because they usually are speaking the blatant truth. It's amazing how funny the truth can be. They also have a lot of their own jargon that I can't follow, but rather laugh at like I'm a ditzy, blonde teenage girl. Hmmm, that's the last time I compare myself to one of those...much rather be a teenage mutant ninja turtle. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Richard Phipps, Johan Peitz, BAF, CGamesPlay, Matthew Leverton, etc. They all have such distinguishing characteristics that really makes this forum feel like Cheers (you know, where everybody know's your avatar?).

Thanks. :D I'm completely useless in real life though. I get embarrassed too easily, I really have no idea why. I can pretend like I'm a social butterfly when I get cornered into certain outings, but I always get uncomfortable. Geez, this is awkward, let's talk about ditzy, blonde teenage girls again...

:D I just did what Johan Halmen's sig suggests. Nice though.

I don't like pointing to specific people, I like the community as the whole. Though I'd second Onewing about that nordic company (X-G, gnolam, Inphernic and others) for their sense of humour. Also various others of you have good sense of humour and that's why I like this community.

Which reminds me one of my crazy dreams - fly over Atlantic to the east coast, grab a car there and drive all the way to the west coast stopping at notable places and a.cc member's homes.

Post about your favourite a.cc members on this thread.

For some reason I am completely incompetent when it comes to showing love to people or to build up any kind of close personal relationship with individuals. Everything I could say or write would feel artificial and unreal to me and the people being addressed would notice that too.

I appreciate the community as a whole, because it makes me feel good to see the familiar names and avatars every day. It gives me some strange feeling of home to come here and read what everyone has to say about certain topics(even though it's getting predictable sometimes, as the same topics keep coming up frequently).

wearetheborg said:

Does it not also make some people(me for example:'([/emo]) cry if they are not mentioned by anyone in their list of loved ones? The more I think about it, the more I feel that "making a list of people you like/love" is a very unnatural and artificial/cold thing to do.

[edit]P.S.: Hehe, LennyLen is way better at explaining what I probably tried(I don't know myself)to say and with a lot less words, too.

Eek, I don't really want to single anyone out. I don't think I even slightly dislike anyone on here. Got a giant list I can copy and paste?

[started to make a list here, but got exasperated at not being able to list everyone...]

Also, this made my day.

Quote:

Kibiz0r, because his posts are thoughtful.

X-G and gnolam, because they remind me of Dr. House (in a good way)
bamccaig (seriously), because he stirs things up at least
Onewing, because he's just all-around good
ReyBrujo, because he's like a ninja with assistance, who steps out from the shadows and launches a throwing star of truth straight into your face
Thomas Harte, because I can't recall any specific reasons, but he stuck out in my mind for some reason
Miran, because thinking that game programming geeks can give good advice on women is one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed
Trezker, because without him I wouldn't know about ZoidCom, and he posts on the Machinae Supremacy forum 8-)
CGamesPlay, for MinorHack
Jakub Wasilewski, for always having spectacular entries for MinorHack

And everyone that participates in MinorHack and doesn't just copy an already-existing game.

That's not everyone, but it's late/early, and my mind is fried. (friend-induced insomnia)

Also, LennyLen because of below.

I'm a Finnish hetero male. I simply cannot admit I love anyone of you. Even if I do would :-X

Well, there are always Diana and Manjula. But I'm happily married.

It can. A similar thread appeared on another forum I visit a month or two ago, and it ended up sparking a slew of "why do you all hate me" posts.

I think most of the members here are a bit more mature than those of that forum though, so hopefully most of us can take it. :)

(That being said, everyone who hasn't mentioned me is going on a hitlist, and you're all going to die painful, tortured deaths. The last thing you'll hear is my maniacal laughter)

There are ways of being even more happily married. ;)

If only for the merit of the above post, I append LennyLen to my list.

It's ok guys! If LennyLen were to attack you, he would be compelled to do the haka before attacking - that gives you the chance to shoot him before he can do any harm!

See, threats do work! :)

edit: If I attempted to do a Haka, that would be torture enough, I think.

If there's nothing wrong with it, don't fix it.

Miran for his code writing ability. MASkinG is wonderful.
X-G because he always sounds really pissed but really right. Plus he's a fantastic game and graphics designer.
And BAF amazes me because he's young and extremely smart.

There's my lovin'.

Well, it's not supposed to be a list of people you love... Just people you appreciate!

I appreciate Dennis because his posts in relationship threads are full of insight.
Manjula and le_y_mister are my favouritest a.cc members of all because they are so damn cool, and their level of awesomeness is awesome.
