What? PBiG Geek level 10?!?! Also, the probablilities add to 6.3 and are almost totally random. It's funny enough, but fairly inaccurate at different spots. :P Edit: 500th post. Guess that 10 forum presence rating wasn't too far off. :D |

Yeah the geek levels are totally off, I just don't agree with being beaten by CJ and especially PBIG !! He should have a negative geek value if anything... |

Pathetic planktonboy. We are in the same physical room at time of posting. Is Xedi here too? |

Ditto. I think the person who made this considered the Geek Rating a negative attribute, whereas most of us apparenlty don't. :P |

Of course I'm not in the computer room, I'm playing my japanese copy of SSBB Edit : and being in the computer room should actually lower your geek stat if it's above 5 anyway, real geeks don't use public PCs |

:o really? You don't do that very often. Is it working properly today? 'cause the bugs really annoying after a while. edit: This happens to be slightly more convenient than my house thank-you. I could use my laptop but that would weigh a ton when cycling. |

Actually, there's a point, what would we do if PBIG were to run for exec (president most likely, he probably thinks other positions beneath a mathematician of his callibre cough). I'm hoping he'll learn the value of humility before that happens, but we do nonetheless need to raise up some legendary figure who can run a counter-campaign if necessary. This is all in the distant future though, since Dave will probably win this time around. |

Yes Planktonboby, it's working fine... And the fact that you say it's more convenient to be in the computer room further reinforces the fact that you aren't a real geek. |

If PBiG runs for president, it'll be the best thing to happen to the WMS elections in years! It would add so much unintentional comedy. We need to convince him to do it. |

Dammit, I have somewhere to be at 2 O' clock. I can't cycle home, that much sunlight is bad for my skin :p edit: Cosmin's right, and we should run his campaign for him. |

we do not need to do it at all. To push him to run just to laugh at his expense is too cruel. |

But we can have so much fun without directly poking fun at him. We could use that dodgy induction that all cows in the herd are the same colour to explain why he's going to win and hence you might as well vote for the winning candidate. |

But unless he is a more humble mathmo by then, we don't actually wnat him to win. So running his campain would be a dishonest and decietful act. I'll have no part in it. |

So I'm geekier than Dave and have a forum presence of 8. Wtf I hope for the sake of WMS, PBIG is never president. I think we should write it into the constitution that PBIG cannot run for president. I'll see if i can get it passed at the next exec meeting. Actually I may not be on the exec at that point with the elections coming soon. Or acording to this i have a 30% chance of being president. Or a worse PBIG might be president and vito the decision! Where's the sniper when you need him. |

I think my fiancé might take offence to her quite high 'old boy rating'. But quite funny nonetheless. But what's with the LaTeX tables?

Well what do you think it means old boy, it jolly well means how much a feature of the society you are. |

Well I consider it hard to be an 'old boy' of the society if you don't turn up to socials and DGs etc. I mean considering that you gave the same value to both Ben and I, I didn't associate with amount of time. Not that "old boy" really makes sense until you leave uni http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_boy_network, oh well. It's still a worthy stat. |

Are we allowed to have posts which cause epileptic fits? I guess it worked for the Olympics. |

Ok... i'm sure that xedi's post could cause epileptic fits because of its flashy head-achey nature. The London Olympics made a logo that cost a lot of money to have made but it was later banned due to the fact it caused epileptic fits. Are you with me? |
