This thread is hilarious.

Angry, me? Naw. Slightly amused maybe.

It's just too much fun to pass up.

 

[scouries]

Yes...finally getting some respect...

Good going BFW! 4 of the top 10! And thanks Laurel

Notice that scouries has no complaints about his tag-along buddy writing in "notoriously high-rated categories", or complaints about "This is a sex site, what's with this non-erotic junk?".

No dismissing of his work because it doesn't meet the 100 vote bare minimum threshold for relevance that scouries applies to everyone else regardless of category, and promptly raises when anybody reaches it.

No mockery about the number of views compared to his masterpieces.

No complaints about posting everything in chapters to "get rid of the people who don't like it."

It will come, though. As BFW steadily overshadows him, he'll turn. He can't help it.

He's probably already zapping BFWs scores, knowing it's just going to get blamed on somebody else. Perfect opportunity to stab him in the back while he's kissing his ass.

I wonder how many of those scathing, badly composed 0% comments on sarahhh's stories are actually scouries silently fuming that he can't remotely catch up, and doing his best to knock out the pedastal.

Scouries loves to strap himself to anyone on the rise while he's busily tearing them to pieces behind the scenes *laugh*
Here comes another mouth-frothing "darkboy" rant *laugh* wait for it...

 

[ZanyRaine]

From what I've read here, I believe you might be right. Strange sort of game he plays.

 

[sr71plt]

Since BFW brought up the green E thing, what I sort of wonder is if Scouries is the bestest writer here and is (Scouries says) being paid royalties by the Web site for gracing us with his stories, why the Web site hasn't bestowed any of those green Es on Scouries's stories posted here. You'd think that if the Web site was paying for the stories, they'd want to highlight them somehow. Hmmmmm.

One would think that any "contest fixing" would heavily weigh toward highlighting the "cash cow" as well. He should have a string of green Es and blue Ws brighter than a rainbow.

I think he needs to have the voices in his head sit down and have a long conference to get their stories straight.

I have an easy answer about the green E issue. Employees are exempt from receiving green E's.

Now, I didn't know it meant more if you story was posted near the top. Although, now that I think of it, all the green E stories are posted first. Many of my better stories post in the top five.

Thank you for highlighting that fact. I'm in awe as to how much you know about his site. Me? I know little. I don't even know how to post a photo on the board nor do I know how to copy and paste comments that I'm responding to (duh!).

I'm not very computer literate. I know how to use word for Windows, accounting packages, Excel, e-mail, and that's about it.

I'm learing though.

If anyone knows how I can post a photo, I'd like to do that. What do you think? Should I post my Rat Terrier named Scouries? My car? My mansion? Or my muscular body?

Also, everyone seems to know how to post comments to those you are replying to, how do you do that, too?

Oh, scouries is going to love that one... *chuckle*

Also, everyone seems to know how to post comments to those you are replying to, how do you do that, too?

There's a quote button at the bottom ( may vary depending upon the forum skin you're using ) of every post. Click that and it starts a reply to the thread with the post of the person you quoted included in yours.

In the lower right-hand corner of the posted comment you want to quote is a "quote" button. Click on that and you will get the "reply" screen, complete with quoted comments in code brackets. Most people type their replies beneath the quoted text.

I think, for the av thing, you have to go into your options or profile page, but I don't have enough posts yet, so I haven't figured it out.

You actually named your dog after this guy? Are you serious?

You actually named your dog after this guy? Are you serious?

The fun thing is that they've both chosen to take this as a compliment.

There was this guy at work once, named Briggs, who got on everyone's last nerve. Someone asked me once how we could stand to work with him--why we put up with all of his nonsense. I answered that whenever I wanted to lash out at him, I just went to the men's room in the building. In response to the raised eyebrow, I pointed out that the urinals in the men's room were made by Briggs (and labeled as such).

I imagine it's much the same way in naming a dog you say "heel" and "sit" to.

 

[Darkniciad]

Terribly appropriate, too. A small little yapping dog that thinks it's a Pit Bull. A perfect representation of scouries.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

"My Buddy! My Buddy!"

Thank you for telling me about the quote button. I've always wondered what that was.

Actually, I didn't really name my dog after Scouries, I only said that to piss off a poster who was giving Scouries some shit. My dog's name is Polo because everything I buy is by Ralph Lauren. Yeah, I coulda been gay (lol).

The Rat Terrier is a great dog. He's fearless and he was attacked by three Pit Bulls. He fended them off and even bit one in the ear. Fortunately, for him, these Pit Bulls were pets and not attack dogs, otherwise I'd be in the market for a new dog. I have the new breed of long legged Rat Terrier that has Italian Greyhound and can run like the wind.

Just as I don't understand why everyone is always on my case, I don't understand why everyone is on Scouries case. I guess two birds of a feather and it takes one to know one may apply here with me being friends with him. It doesn't matter. We're just cyberfriends anyone. None of this is real. It's all just computer bits.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the information that he imparts. He is certainly more helpful to this web site than not. When you think of it, what purpose do you all serve? You just bash him. Why not start up your own thread? Then, maybe, you'll appreciate the amount of work that it takes him to do what he does for the benefit of us all. I'm grateful.

Besides, I truly believe that he is a very good writer and besides that he has a great set of knockers (lol).

And as long as I'm here with some of you fools bashing him, I'll take whatever you have to give on the chin for him. That's what friends are for.

Okay, now this is the part where you all hold hands and start singing, "My Buddy! My Buddy!"

Maybe you should go back and read some of your rants.

As for Scouries, he's made a fool of himself with his claims of six-figure royalty checks and non-existent conspiracies. He has attempted to validate his own claims of greatness by using other writers successes. He is the reason I pulled my Montana Summer series from the site, and why I no longer submit as drksideofthemoon.

I will credit him for one thing, he made me realize that votes, scores, comments, lists aren't important. Writing is what is important, nothing else. E's, W's, H's are all immaterial.

Go pee on your saddle

You see, darksideofinsanity, this is why I call you darksideofinsanity.

Now, a rant is a one sided argument. I don't rant. I defend myself from assholes, such as yourself.

Most times, the only time I make a post is when a drunken "nitwit" like you writes something stupid, which is every time you write.

Of course, you would consider this a rant. I consider it flushing you from my system, not unlike taking a shit.

If I was to rant, I would go on about nothing in the way that you never have anything to say that is not negative and is not a bash. It's funny that you don't consider the bile shit you write as rants, when, in fact, they are.

I figured you'd be around today, cowboy. There's a full moon.

Go rant by yourself and leave the real writers alone. Oh, yes, you do submit stories, but not very good ones. Yes, now all of your 'friends' will jump all over me.

You sort of write in the way all those people who think they can sing try out for American Idol. They embarass themselves, much like you do when you attack me.

Listen, pardnor, when you can write the stories that I write, then you can "rant" about me all you want.

In the meantime, go pee on your saddle.

"Happy Trails."

Well, this is where it gets hard to take you seriously, BFW. You try to assert you don't rant . . . in a rant.

Truthfully, I don't give a rant's ass about any of it.

 

[Darkniciad]

I don't either, as if I possessed such an odd appendage to bisect and distribute.

I'm just having fun. There's a little troll in everyone. I just choose to vent my trollish side in the forums on other trolls.

Not as if many people see this anyway. Most of the forum has scouries on ignore, and thus this thread is invisible. Sort of a little underground fight-club to fling poo.

Pathetic. Is this the best you can do? Out here in the west, we refer to this as "Shooting one's self in the foot".

So let me get this straight. If your stories are posted at the top of the new story list you're more likely to get a green E?
Where's my green E's then (stamping my feet). Alot of my stories have been posted in the top 5 or 10 of the new stories. Actually many of my stories have been #1. Where are my green E's!!!!

BFW - a picture of your mansion or car would be sufficient.

In all seriousness, no. I suspect the stories come out in the order that they happened to have been submitted.

 

[PrincessErin]

Awww. That is so sad. You mean I have to write stories because I want to and enjoy writing them? You're telling me that I might not get the external satisfaction of little icons next to my stories. I have to actually have some internal motivation to write? Damn.

Erin - who can be quite sarcastic when she wants to be.

No, chicken and egg. If your story is being given a green E, it's listed at the top of the day's "New" list. My impression is that what are considered the more worthy stories of the day are shoved up near the top too, but the only certainity is that if it's being given an E, it sits on top of the daily list.
