i like the gazing pic, very james dean.
I thought I look more like the lead singer of A-Ha crossed with David Bowie in that picture.
How on Earth you did the upside down text? It is hypnotic.
But surely you mean to put the upside down picture first?
All right--that's nice work. :)
for "it's an enigma wrapped in a pastry coating..."
Vote for non-gingerness and terrorist-chic =P
Question: If a player photograph task gets the big red X, does the player have an avatar?
The only way this task can be completed and not meet the requirements is if no photo is submitted, in which case there would be no avatar anyway.
Nope, same if you unsubmit it. It'll still be the first photo on the task.
You do look a bit like Shaggy, now that I think about it.
Rut-ro!
Lincoln: I only noticed when my friend's mum pointed it out.
"Yeah, that colour hair... little beard... always eating. Lanky.
WHAT THE HELL!?!" were my thoughts.
The man knows of what he speaks:
There's part of us that's Shaggy and Scooby at every stage.
So if you travel round the world - your American foreign policy does give you a difficult time - two tricks.
One, say you're Canadian. That helps.
It works in Europe, it's very good.
The second is say,
"Shaggy and Scooby."
They go, "Shaggy and Scooby?"
lnternational credit card.
So, yeah.
Ben Forbes: "Far too suave to be considered an idiot."
I have voted for your player picture before (and I don´t particularly like Scooby Doo, and Shaggy doesn´t make you any justice).
So, where do I vote for you as a player who IMHO did make quite an impression and who will be missed while in, um, sabbatical?
Oh Ben are you back? I've missed you so. You taste like soot and poo! I shalln't play with you till you've had a wash!
I should make it clear that the Suzybots are not mine, I just friended them all, because I'm like that.
We have our investigatin' feet on.

[21:03:41] Ben Forbes says: Notice anything out of the ordinary?
[21:06:27] Tom chuckles
[21:06:36] Ben Forbes says: Yeah
[21:06:39] Ben Forbes says: He pointed it out >
[21:06:47] Tom says: \0/
[21:07:25] Tom says: Hmm.
[21:07:33] Tom says: The first 3 voted on Public Surface.
[21:07:53] Ben Forbes says: shenanigans
[21:07:59] Tom says: Ah
[21:08:15] Tom says: They're voting on any Susy Derkins task
[21:08:18] Tom says: http://sf0.org/Suzybot1/votes/
[21:08:40] Tom says: 2 and 3 are the same
[21:08:40] Ben Forbes says: Whoever they are, they've spelt "susy" wrong
[21:08:53] Tom says: 4 only cast 8 votes
[21:08:58] Tom says: missing public surface
[21:09:07] Tom says: same with 5.
[21:09:10] Ben Forbes says: and 6
[21:09:12] Ben Forbes says: 7
[21:09:13] Ben Forbes says: 8
[21:09:15] Ben Forbes says: 9
[21:09:28] Tom says: 7 has cast 7 votes actually.
[21:09:31] Ben Forbes says: and 10
[21:09:37] Ben Forbes says: 11 has done nothing yet
[21:09:40] Tom says: Missing the laughing security guard.
[21:09:52] Ben Forbes says: wtf is going on
[21:10:10] Ben Forbes says: whatever, susy's now 14th
[21:10:26] Tom says: I hope to god someone isn't doing Secrets Secrets
[21:10:59] Ben Forbes says: No, because that would be lame
[21:11:08] Tom says: Indeed
[21:11:17] Ben Forbes says: I've friended all the bots
[21:11:21] Tom says: the flow has stopped, there's 11.
[21:11:34] Ben Forbes says: I should probably make it clear that they're not mine
[21:11:42] Tom says: Mine either.
Except all the votes have been undone now...
Hmm...
Sock puppets getting automated, possibly.
Of course as a staunch Probot member I would regard that as acceptable, provided they play or comment non-disruptively - that is, provided they adhere to the same standards as other posters.
It sounds like this batch had an agenda that would have unfairly messed with the game, so it is good to have them gone.
EDIT: And yes, I do know how to spell "sock".
Panopoly did the same thing on 5/11. On 5/12 another sock puppet that hadn't submitted any tasks voted 7-8 times for Derkins tasks, then 7-8 times for JTony tasks immediately afterward. The latter one's been erased, looks like.
Realistically I wasn't sure how I felt about the points from Panopoly, having been the brunt of some sockpuppet wrath in the comment votes lately. Then again, it was quite nice having a sockpuppet being nice to me, so I just decided not to think to hard (or talk too much) about it.
There's a Suzybot13 that's cropped up now too, having voted on four of her tasks.
Now there's a buncha probots voting for Tricia Tanaka's stuff.
Hmm, so there are. Didn't Tricia get targeted as one of the strange bots before?
(also, this has pushed Tricia into first place)
alright.
you know what must be done.
all herbies v. all probots.
go.
Are we talking a Declaration of War, or a Declaration of War?
I should make it clear that the "probot##" usernames have, to my knowledge, nothing to do with the Probot team.
I for one am against disruptive play by anyone, robot or human, and will take the side of the Herbies in this conflict.
@Haberly
Well, the pro- and suzy- bots certainly have NO sense of style.
Clarification: The faux probots.
Doktor, what if the probot hordes were actually AI robots?
Then they should not be discriminated against for their robotic nature.
However, it is entirely reasonable - mandatory, in fact - to hold them to the same standards to which we hold humans registering on the site. If they are here to maliciously affect the game, they must be stopped, be they human, robot, zombie, or none of the above.
Perhaps someone has just reached the Age of Chaos. That's the seventy two hour period in every young programmer's life between discovering that five lines of perl can trash a website and realizing that doing so is too lame to be worth writing five lines of code. We should hold a coming of age ceremony. Unless of course it really is an AI, in which case we should hold a coming into existence ceremony. Unless of course it really is an AI from the future, in which case this party will be so big there's no point in naming it.
Or maybe it's the opening salvo of the robot apocalypse and I should start training monkeys.
That's what I'm saying.
My friends...this is only the beginning. These incoming "probots" clearly have no regard for the rules set out upon this community. They have no regard for our precious bodily fluids, or even their own sense of individuality! These mindless creeps wish to overturn all of our accomplishments and throw our peaceful world into chaos.
Regardless of the stated position of the so called "probot team" within our ranks, the members of the this team clearly have some connection with these new invaders. I propose that said team be vigilantly monitored in the following weeks.
You can die a slave, or you can fight valiantly.
They're hitting Zer0gee, now. And rongo rongo.
Notice a link between all the people getting blitz-voted?
susy derkins, zer0gee, rongo rongo, Tricia Tanaka...
All female.
These are some EMPOWERED probots.
Personally, I can think of worse Robot apocalypses.
I'm waiting on an official announcement from MKII.
Ahh - but I now realize it is only a task I shared with Rongo Rongo that got hit. The pattern still fits.
MKII ROBOT CAN OFFICIALLY STATE THAT IT HAS HAD NO INVOLVEMENT WITH THE INCIDENCES OF _probot##_ OR _suzybot##_.
Hmm.... All the Probots seem to be gone. Along with the records of their votes. But the score changes seem to still be here.
VERY bizarre. Perhaps a little someone had a hand in removing the threat.
To keep things zippy, the site stores things like the number of bonus (i.e. vote) points a completion has in the DB. This isn't automatically updated when a vote is removed (manually, natch).
I'd be interested to hear what Scienceguru thinks of the robot thing.
Thank you. I appreciate being restored to my correct score, as it is a useful metric only if it measures something meaningful.
i seem to have 15 unaccounted-for points myself all of a sudden. there do not seem to be any votes that correspond to these 15 points. they weren't here a few hours ago.
Tell the authorities. I think perhaps we both got voted for at the same time, or a lot of them hit Longest String, which means a bunch of FOEcakes is affected.
yeah, dela has them too. and meredithian. and defiler. and ms. goblinpants. everyone that did longest string has 15 extra points...
might be easier to find him at the local boybar with the fencing team...

Enjoy looking into the Queen's bedroom do ya?
You know what else is still funny?
The Ben Forbes skype mob.
Like the part where Ben Forbes made out with Ben Forbes?
Hello. My name is ASIMO. I have noticed you are a member of the Probot team. I am now sending a request for friendship to strengthen the bonds between humans and robots.
Don't worry. The gummies have also been bloodmarked. They didn't know what bloodmarked meant, so they looked it up in their highly accurate human-to-gummyspeak dictionary:
Bloodmarked (n) - one who has been promised large amounts of delicious frosting.
The gummies are very excited about this. They would be happy to help you eat your frosting if you are worried that you cannot finish it all.
Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
Ruthlessly, lazily, copied and pasted from here.
Mine was ruthlessly, lazily, copied from here:
Wow, that's exactly how I would've pictured the line up.
Have you been drinking Powerthirst again?
how could anyone not notice the powerthirst reference? are there people left on earth who can't see youtube?
The only people who haven't seen powerthirst lived in the middle ages, when youtube was a strange thing only used by the rich and powerful, a fable to the mere commoners who tended to only use google video.
As the crusades appeared both youtube and google video were exterminated by the Knights Templar, causing the production of random viral videos to stop being as common. The world started to collapse until the renaissance where youtube was resurrected.
My brother hadn't seen it until I showed it to him yesterday.
Is my brother a chrononaut?
Is he from the dark ages?
I am so happy to have managed to not know what the heck is powerthirst...
I hadn't seen it until Tom showed it to me.
I just realized that you look like Neil Patrick Harris in a weird sort of way.
I may have to watch it tomorrow...
you two singing in the rain fools just made me smile and start singing to msyelf at my desk at work. lovely :)
Your winnings from the CG0 Betting Pool.
Here, finally a picture more... SFZeresque.
Impressive, what´s the story there? Self-portrait with cute blue puppet?
No, I could never draw something as good as that. That "cute blue puppet", by the way, is Sackboy :D. It was drawn by an anonymous friend, and that's basically the end of the story. :)

Vote for crossdressing.
