Time to catch up with things long overdue

I'm holding with those who say that Arthgon deserves his due to controversy he has sparked.

Suggestion:

Rank: Coherence, I has it.
Avatar: Modified Sulik.

I don't care what Amnesty International says, living under a dictatorship can be awesome when the dictator happens to agree with you.

If Arthgon is getting an avatar, then Borat had the most votes, and is eminently suitable, and Jojobobo went to the trouble of cropping it and moving the thumbs around to make it look good:

Since Sulik also seems like a popular choice, maybe someone could Photoshop a bone through Borat's nose or something? Though his moustache sort of already looks like one.

Although I am in favour of Arthgon receiving a customised avatar/title, I see now that actually Sulik is the best advertisement for his personality possible and "lost in translation" would be redundant for most of his posts.

Therefore I abstain.

I came here to post exactly this, but found that ytzk had already done it for me.

Mayhaps due to the dissension and the fact that several have already been bestowed we can agree to table the discussion for a later date?

I consider myself a connoisseur of fine graphs, and I will say that's a very nice graph indeed.

I don't know, not to discredit my own work but I did just do that on paint in 15 minutes or so - if you zoom in you can see the sloppy nature of it. I'm sure someone else could do a better job with proper photo editting software and know-how (I have downloaded GIMP myself recently, but I'm damned if I know how to use it correctly yet).

Besides, I quite like DE's new title and the idea for modified Sulik. Personally I think adding Borat's hair to Sulik would look quite special, maybe his moustache too but that would obscure his bone piercing.

EDIT: Actually I pissed around with GIMP for about quarter of an hour (it seems quite straight forawrd to use) and came up with this - I know you can see Borat's skin around his moustache but I think that adds comical cheesiness to the image (also I'm lazy):

I went for a white background as images with Sulik in crop very close to his head and obviously with adding extra hair this extends the image past the edge of the Fallout 2 shack background (and I don't have the capabilities to mock up a similar background in the edges), this image could easily be added to some different generic background instead though if white is a bit too glaring. Also damn, I didn't read Philes post thoroughly; if people want to postpone discussion of Arthgon's avatar then go ahead, this was just a small idea.

We can discuss this at a later date, yes.

I had a comment here that was unnecessarily catty, so I deleted it. So far only Philes and Wayne have customs in this thread. There's never been so many people eligible for a custom at once since I've joined - it's probably better to let things rest for now (unless you all can stomach one more avatar and title).

A Terra-Arcanum where we give Wobbler and Arthgon avatars isn't a Terra-Arcanum at all.

My suggestion for TDC:

Case in point. If he says anything--anything at all, really--it is only to troll.
Also, that was originally Crypton's avatar.

TDC, how many here do you think have English as their native language?

Fewer than is apparent, I'm given to understand. I'm impressed with the overall mastery.

smuel, thank you for your one thoughtful suggestion and your one thoughtless suggestion.

Why do people always say that about things I create?

Not my fault your personality comes across as either crying all the time or attempting to white knight. Perhaps a crying baby in a knight's outfit would suffice.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 10:28 am **Post subject:**

I rather find it amusing that a former white knight says this about TDC.

There goes Arthgon again, lost in translation. Keep working at it though buddy, Google has to improve their translate eventually right?

Arthgon · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:04 am **Post subject:**

Let me rephrase that; You formerly did the same thing (white Knighting) as TDC. Amusing.

Not voicing an opinion, just making the connection.

Perfect Friar, you will fit in well. Arthgon, I know you talk random shit but it would be nice if you actually made sense for once.

ytzk · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:18 am **Post subject:**

I'm pretty cocky about my intelligence, but Muro always makes me feel scatterbrained. Apart from the most witty graph, he corrects the english of native english speakers.

O Muro, can't you act a little bit stupider? Sometimes limping before the lame IS kindness.

Yeah, we'd better stop giving out custom avatars now. We wouldn't want any existing custom avatar holders to stop feeling special.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:27 am **Post subject:**

Friar: Funny.

Zanza: You are a former white knight. Is that clear enough? No. It is not random shit.

Smuel · **Joined:** Feb 22, 2011 **Posts:** 1043

Arthgon, you successfully trolled Zanza, but then fell victim to his riposte. Your English is fine - he is pretending that it is not in order to distract from the point you scored against him.

wobbler · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:35 am **Post subject:**

See my previous previous post about shutting everythinng down.
@artgon, I think you have accidently chosen another language than English in google translator. You are not making any sense.

Arthgon · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:47 am **Post subject:**

Sure.

If I only could say about your spelling sometimes. Do not go and point out dirty finger to me.

Smuel · **Joined:** Feb 22, 2011 **Posts:** 1043

Hah! Arthgon scores again. I retract my vote for the Borat avatar.

Zanza · **Joined:** Apr 20, 2009 **Posts:** 2768

Perhaps Arthgon has made a fake forum where he recreates our accounts and pretends to be us. That is the only logical explanation for this new level of random shit he is talking.

Jojobobo · **Posted:** Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:09 pm **Post subject:**

Even if this thread has questionable efficacy for assigning avatars, it's certainly good for...

Personally I can see where Arthgon is coming from though, Zanza was really Xaio's white knight. Oh no wait, actually he was the complete opposite of that.
