Title: Jonesy's Campaign: Updated 7/16 Post by Jonesy on 07/09/10 at 07:00:03 So in case you needed yet another reason to vote for me (highly doubtful) I present you with this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/v/-9fQkwI5xJg[/media] A few things of note here: I'm 6'3" and about 300 pounds and clearly my agility for a big guy is unmatched - I guess when you're a fat ninja like me you have to train extra hard. I was at a work conference with 2 of my female coworkers and we had been drinking for the past 5 or 6 hours. This was my 3rd time doing this routine so I was pretty tired at the end. The first time I did it to be funny (which I was). The 2nd time was to capture it on video (which it wasn't). And the 3rd time was a charm. Oh and for those of you that don't get the reference (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_mpNUl3swk)... Update on my campaign: So here we are again. Jones vs. The Gaff v 2.0 For those of you who do not know our history, Tom edged me out back in 2006 with a nailbiting score of 49-45 because he promised the following: In Hiding wrote:
Note: He later modified his original promise to post only one pic but Fried was kind enough to document his original comment in the original thread which you can find here (http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1155631592) Tom did deliver a pic of his (then) gf and there was writing on her stomach area, and she was technically topless, however many people felt that Tom's campaign was misleading and that he never fully delivered on his promise to show his gf "topless" because she was covering certain key features of herself. So, knowing Tom and his never ending quest for MB glory I felt that I couldn't be left flat-footed again so he can knock me out once more with vague, semi-fulfilled campaign promises. If I beat Tom I will deliver on the following:
Update: 7/16 So I've done some thinking the past day or so about this whole board customizations as part of a campaign issue. Even though only 8 out of 26 people voted in opposition of the idea, I've been reevaluating the situation. I started the campaign because I thought it would be a fun and add some life to the contest. I'm dropping custom titles as part of the campaign. Instead, since board customizations seem to be desired by a bunch of people, I'm going to offer custom titles to people who meet the following criteria with no strings attached: At least 1,000 posts and member of the board for a year Or At least 500 posts and Member of the boards for more than 3 years Note: You must not have a handicapped account, and spamming to reach these benchmarks will result in both a handicapped account and the loss of your ability to obtain a custom title. Those who currently have handicapped accounts can obtain custom titles when their handicaps are removed. If you so desire, and if he feels up to it, Lacey can give you a custom name color and custom icons. However, be aware that these icons and colors, unlike the titles, will only be visible to yourself. The titles will be visible globally. That means that I have nothing left in terms of campaign promises. However, I don't want you to vote for me simply because I'm allowing custom titles. If your heart tells you to vote for Tom and go for it. He's a great guy who adds a lot of life to the forum and community. If your heart tells you to vote for me, do so because you value what I've given to the community not for some dumb campaign promise, video or stunt. After all, win or lose, this whole contest is not really some pissing contest to see who has the most groupies. This contest is a testament to the fact that Nintendo made some kick ass games as far back as the early 90s and we all enjoy playing them - but we enjoy playing them more as part of a shared experience with each other. |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by thewebinator on 07/10/10 at 22:08:21 Voted you before I saw this, but now that I did it's an amazing campaign. Taking advantage of what you're given isn't cheating :D. I have you making final four in my Preds, so go all the way |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by ALAKTORN on 07/11/10 at 04:10:27 I voted for you before reading the updated campaign, but now I will keep voting for you forever |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Zarkov on 07/12/10 at 06:20:26 Think of it like this Tom. Jones is like God here. Although he rarely posts (makes public appearances) we as his loyal MB members (subjects) must vote for him (believe in) otherwise we will feel his wrath of mighty board powers (lightning bolts and brimstone). If he see's we vote for him (and he see's that it is good) we get loved in return and get bestowed with gifts in the form of custom board titles and gold shells (eternal life in heaven) |

You call it slander I call it a cautionary tale. People can read the original topic (http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1155631592) and decide for themselves I guess. I deemed your promises semi-fulfilled based on several factors: personal opinion, other people's responses in that topic and the fact that you were crushed by Moly 59-25 in the next match (I interpreted that as anti-voting because of your failure to deliver). In terms of abuse of power, I see some merit in that argument so I will let the board decide whether or not they deem that a worthy campaign strategy. New poll posted... 7D504E4245424B270 wrote:

Title: Shades of déjà vu anyone? Post by David Wonn on 07/12/10 at 09:01:22 Another campaign with a poll. Where have I seen this before? ;-) I voted the "Don't care" option, btw. But I'd probably vote that way for almost any campaign anymore since I won't be around for future "contests" anyway. I will still vote for you regardless of your decision with your campaign, and have voted for you so far in each round (except the most recent round, because I have known Kevin way longer.) Good luck with whichever way you decide to go. |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Jonesy on 07/12/10 at 20:02:15 Cool man. I haven't touched anyone's account so far. All that shit you see now is probably Lacey's work. |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now?

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Jonesy on 07/13/10 at 14:00:08 Perhaps I need a refresher on British slang but I've never heard the word "sluff" used before in the context I think you're using it. |

Title: Old chat transcripts ftw! Post by David Wonn on 07/13/10 at 14:54:40 Ha! I remember that second chat transcript. Based on my memory and clues within, I estimate it to be from around the 3rd week of February 2002. I miss the good old days of playing along and catching liars at their own game. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I'll have to read the first chat transcript next. |

|
Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Jonesy on 07/14/10 at 10:09:27 Dunno, just some guy named Fernando from El Monte, CA who claimed like 32/32 WRs on MK64. We never heard from him after that. |
|
Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Matt V on 07/14/10 at 10:10:56 Lmao, that's hilarious. It's weird how he claimed 1"05 RRo flap and look at the current WR... ::) |
|
Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Jonesy on 07/14/10 at 10:11:59 I believe 1'05" was already achieved back then. He was just claiming a slightly faster 1'05". Actually almost all of his WR claims were like 1 - 3 tenths faster than the WRs at the time (not obvious at all). |
|
Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by thewebinator on 07/14/10 at 10:38:46 so I'm guessing Thug never showed up then? That was probably the most hilarious chat I've ever read. KID WAS TRYING TO USE ALL CAPS TO SOUND REALLY TOUGH!!!! GP and TT are completely different, the skill required in each is somewhat simliar, but not enough to even equate the two on the same level. |
|
Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Matt V on 07/14/10 at 10:42:17 TT is much more simple, you need tight lines and quick MT's with good glide. While these translate to GP, you need to factor in item usage. |

In a perfect world I would have had Booth vs Gaff right now. Instead I have you vs Gaff. I have Gaff moving on in the predictions, but based on his piss poor campaigning I wish I could change that prediction. I expected better from Gaff. I thought his campaigns were the stuff of legends. Instead it looks like it is going to be a poetic ending for him this round. |

lol, i did no such thing. I was not begging anyone for anything. Guys - do you really think that if he doesn't go through that he wont give you the colours you want anyway? He's not a prick! If Jones beats me, I doubt very much like he has anything else lined up. Me on the other hand have plenty of stuff lined up :) Hardcore stuff 8-) For the record I dont think Lacey was trying to win votes or undermining you, I just think he was trying to help out a fellow karter cause he's a nice guy (i've met him in real life). But i do think that you retracting people's colours is a bit cheap :) Is that all you've got? |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Jonesy on 07/14/10 at 14:03:36 I'm confident that what I have (awesome video, funny pictures, old chat transcripts and permanent custom titles) is enough to beat you right now. Yet all I'm hearing from you is how you have "big things lined up," but the only thing I've seen is some lame poem. Like I said, if you decide to punch, I'll counter but I'm not going to worry about it until I see you deliver something worthwhile. I'm not holding my breath though. |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Custom What Now? Post by Jonesy on 07/16/10 at 15:11:36 So I've done some thinking the past day or so about this whole board customizations as part of a campaign issue. Even though only 8 out of 26 people voted in opposition of the idea, I've been reevaluating the situation. I started the campaign because I thought it would be a fun and add some life to the contest. I'm dropping custom titles as part of the campaign. Instead, since board customizations seem to be desired by a bunch of people, I'm going to offer custom titles to people who meet the following criteria with no strings attached: At least 1,000 posts and member of the board for a year Or At least 500 posts and Member of the boards for more than 3 years Note: You must not have a handicapped account, and spamming to reach these benchmarks will result in both a handicapped account and the loss of your ability to obtain a custom title. Those who currently have handicapped accounts can obtain custom titles when their handicaps are removed. If you so desire, and if he feels up to it, Lacey can give you a custom name color and custom icons. However, be aware that these icons and colors, unlike the titles, will only be visible to yourself. The titles will be visible globally. That means that I have nothing left in terms of campaign promises. However, I don't want you to vote for me simply because I'm allowing custom titles. If your heart tells you to vote for Tom and go for it. He's a great guy who adds a lot of life to the forum and community. If your heart tells you to vote for me, do so because you value what I've given to the community not for some dumb campaign promise, video or stunt. After all, win or lose, this whole contest is not really some pissing contest to see who has the most groupies. This contest is a testament to the fact that Nintendo made some kick ass games as far back as the early 90s and we all enjoy playing them - but we enjoy playing them more as part of a shared experience with each other. |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Updated 7/16 Post by Jonesy on 07/16/10 at 16:30:18 After the contest is over PM me what you want the title to say and I'll change it. |

Title: Re: Jonesy's Campaign: Updated 7/16 Post by Honko on 07/16/10 at 18:31:26 Even though I didn't have a problem with your original campaign, I like this one much better. Adding a cool feature with no strings attached is awesome. |
