In two recent threads we have heard a topic come up, one in a serious matter and one in a less serious matter (well, I was serious but no one else seemed to be!). I believe it was Chosen (though I may be mistaken, please correct me if I'm wrong) who said something along the lines of "they are the sciforums.com gang, with Adam as their elected leader". In another thread in the Arts and Culture section (http://www.sciforums.com/t8903/s/thread.html) I openly admitted that at times I am genuinly shocked that I am not the dictator of the world. I honestly cannot believe I do not have completely control over certain aspects of life (music, movies, athletics...). I have a lie in my head that I am both qualified and intelligent enough to run these things for everyone. And occasionaly I convince myself of this lie (it happens when I hear or see something absolutely horrible; i.e. Pearl Harbour, Hero) to the point that I am genuinly concerned and confused when such horrible things come out.
Anyway, back to the point. Sciforums.com does have something of a gang. Encorporating members such as wet1, goofyfish, and the Mighty Q we have something of a group of skeptics amongst us. So.........who's the leader? Who among us is the captain?
Here's my list of candidates:
The Mighty (Q): A poster who seems to have vanquished as of late in all but a few threads, the Great Q has been one of our most well-mannered and honest members since I've been around (which is, admittedly, not all too long).
Goofyfish: I enjoy goofy's posts mainly because he seems to pick his spots well. He doesn't post too many irrelevant posts (except that 'U got to chill' post - bastard!). Again, one of the members I respect the most.
Wet1: The third of what I often just clump together in my mind as The Mighty Three. My favourite aspect of Wet1 is that he is extremely efficient. He makes long posts (though, no where near tiassa-level) but they are always right to the point with excellent examples and flowing logic.
JamesR: Probably the most knowledgable physics guy on the board (though I admitt to not being qualified enough to say this) and definetly another member who picks his places well in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics.
*stRgrL*: More often than not a very calm, collected woman who speaks with experience and is very nationalistic.
Azrael: Another member who I seem to remember once posting more. Stil, Azrael always is around when he has an interesting, good point to make.
BornOfZapatasGun: Awsome name. I really don't remember reading many of his posts but I like his name. Kind of name I think would make a good leader. "Hey Jim, who we followin' now?" -- "Uh, we got this guy, Born Of Zapatas Gun." -- "Oh yeah? Sounds like a Rage song"
Elbaz: A fellow Canuck and a man with firm opinions but a very questioning and open mind.
Pollux V: Always attempting to give us insight into the nature of himself and man, a valuabe contributer despite his youth.
orthogonal: He may be gone but he was definetly one of my favourite posters. With a great way with words and a remarkably keen insight into life and, amazingly enough, myself.
Adam: Apparently Chosen's choice for our leader, Adam remains a sharp-toungued, witty, arguementative debater. All qualities I feel fit in as a leader!
Xev: What to say? I think everything has already been said! Xev is possibly our most strong-willed, honest, outgoing and arguementative members. She consistently drills points through her opponent's skull and ruthlessly destroys theories or beliefs that are not logical or rational. And! She's a Wings fan!
kmguru: Always insightful and seems to bring attention to many interesting and new aspects or discoveries in life.
GB-GIL Trans-global: Our most youthful member but also one of our most opinionated and most strong in his beliefs.
Truthseeker: Another member who's gone. Now, there's a good chance I will get yelled at for saying it. And if you want I'll go drag out the thread. BUT. There was a time when I insinuated that Nelson considered himself something of a prophet and he agreed with me! So, is Nelson a prophet?
Cris: Like The Mighty Three, Cris is very intelligent and well-spoken. The only reason I don't link him to TMT is because he seems to go out on his own in a debate more than link up with someone else
My other nominations are; Bebalina, Cactus Jack and Asgaurd.
So what makes a leader? Well a leader is someone who you think would do good as the captain of a team from sciforums. Someone who would be charismatic, polite, thurough and witty. A captain can be many things. Some captains are sharp-witted and some are reserved. So who do you think is our all-mighty captain? Anyone who wishes to vote - leave a message stating who you voted for and why! Enjoy!
Oh yeah! And keep in mind that of course we already know Porfiry is the unquestioned lord and master!
