Guest Madmatt Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 I think its this big grey four-legged animal with a long trunk and floppy ears...But my memory isn't so good... Madmatt out... I guess Stephen Smith won't be starting any "Madmatt is my Hero" threads anytime soon! ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ! combathq.thegamers.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Actually, a sychophant is a phant that needs some serious counseling. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Tom Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Yes, Fionn, I agree with you entirely. The idea of sychophants on this board is outrageous, just exactly like you said. Now this is a philosophical dilemma. Am I just posting this sarcastic portrayal of sychopantia proponed Stephen Smith to prove the point that it just a figment of his imagination, or, am I doing this just to go along with the now popular trend of backlashing Mr.Smith's attempt at categorizing this boards unjustified attacks against Capt_Manieri, ergo, proving his point? Hmm. [This message has been edited by Major Tom (edited 01-28-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Ahhhh...A light has turned on in my bald head! Sycophant=a yes man!!!Correct?!? What is it called when you just want to tell someone to "Eat Me!"?

Fionn Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Matt, Yes it is and as for the other question... I believe that is called a rational response if someone misrepresents you as a certain someone might have. FWIW I don't think you are AT ALL COOL Matt .. In fact, I think you're a total nerd dufus .. Hope that makes you feel better buddy Major Tom, Ouch, head hurts after reading your post . You didn't study logic or philosophy in college did you?

Major Tom Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Fionn, yeah, am just polishing off a Minor in Philosophy right now. It starts to get too easy to talk this way. Heck, even the fact that I wrote the asaid caption might be thought of to mean that I am furthering my sychophantism even more so by adding to that fact. Even this message here could just be the product of it as well. Possibly nobody else truely exists so I might just be wasting my time anyway..

SS_PanzerLeader Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Major Tom if the possibility that no one really exists is indeed a consideration, would'nt this jeopardize MadMatts new found status of coolness? Wouldn't the fact that we are non-existant undermine the application of the United Nations charter examining the events invoking the status of coolness? Wouldn't that also mean the wait for CM was a neverending cycle, because it too would'nt exist? Argghhhhhhhhhhh what a concept did we have to go there ------------------ SS_PanzerLeader....out [This message has been edited by SS_PanzerLeader (edited 01-28-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom Posted January 28, 2000 Share Posted January 28, 2000 Well, Madmatt's coolness can be solved by slightly modifying Descarte's metaphysics. If one truely doubts their coolness, as Madmatt has admited so, he then must be enacting the action of doubting. In order for someone to doubt, they must have the capacity to doubt, one which would require a thinking mind. If one indeed doubts and has a thinking mind in order to doubt then one must exist, as, mind, or thinking is true existence. Since Madmatt does doubt, this proves that he does exist, wherein if he exists he is a cool guy as stated by Mr.Smith. Premise 1 Madmatt doubts his coolness Premise 2 Doubting proves existence Premise 3 If Madmatt exists he is a "cool guy" according to Mr.Smith Therefore Madmatt exists and is a cool guy. However, this must take into account the truthness of Mr.Smith's account that in order for Madmatt to exist he must be a "cool guy". This and the truth about the meaning of life may never be discovered within the limiting constraints of the human mind. We could presently be existing in what many philosophers call the CM paradox. One cannot honestly recall an era in life clearly when CM did not exist, even though CM does not truely exist yet. We are presently caught in a time loop, where things are neither in existence nor in oblivion. We do not have CM, yet at the same time, we also do.

Mark IV Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 Perhaps a breakthrough may be achieved by applying a Nietzschean paradigm: If Madmatt did NOT exist, it would be necessary to invent him. But... Is the board a blunder of Madmatt's, or is Madmatt a blunder of the board? In the post-2D world, a higher type of Obergame will transcend the shallow judgement of more parochial times, and lead to a new psychology and a new era, Beyond Cool and Nerdy. Remember: In times of peace, the militant man attacks himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against war one can say: It makes the victor stupid, the vanquished malignant. In favor of war: Through both of these effects it barbarizes and thereby makes more natural; it is a sleep or a winter for culture, and man emerges from it stronger for good and evil. Why yes!

Guest Captain Foobar Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 Two words.

Mark IV Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 Maddmensch: Dude, I am majorly impressed! The "bald beast", who lives to conquer and rule? (Love the abyss running away, too funny.) -You would go unto the BBS? Do not forget thy whip! ... and come to think of it, the chapter names of Ecce Homo have got to be the new theme for the combathq updates... you gotta admit it's better than the "poo" series, and can only lead to more obsequious Mattophilia. Foo: you mistake the impression of the gold demo for reality; it is only the perception which you perceive. The essence of the gold demo is unknowable and can only be deduced from the fact that something was perceived at all. It is the shadow on the wall of the cave, nothing more.

Guest Madmatt Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 So in escence I am not in fact really beta testing CM since it is impossible to validate something which does not exist...Pity I suppose it also impossible to mail a non-existant thing as well. Hard to place the stamp...Too bad because in honor of all the cool posts to this thread I was going to mail out free copies of CM...Such a shame... Madmatt out...

Moriarty Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 but if we're just a brain in a vat, is CM a figment of imagination? nah, if CM exists, we exist. uh, Zigster, per Madmatt I believe the correct term would be enpoo-ifying [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 01-28-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Foobar Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 You know, I've been fighting DAMN hard around here for the validity of encrapifying, and then "COOL GUY" MadMatt decrees it to be enPOOifying.

Moriarty Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 Being previously adjudged a sycophant, I should be more clear that I would assume from previous postings that Madmatt would rule enpoo-ifying the correct phraseology. I must admit that I do not have this from Madmatt himself. Sycophants dare not tread in the realm of Cool Guys, CGs for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted January 29, 2000 Share Posted January 29, 2000 I had hoped that the board would have been defecalized by now. A sign of strong character, when once the resolution has been taken, to shut the ear even to the best counter-arguments. Occasionally, therefore, a will to stupidity. Just say "no" to encrapment.
