I hope so. Why not to let the winners having such badges temporary. It can be one of the kind of forum appreciation for their extraordinary members.
I'm all for it... But unfortunately it does not depend on me. I wrote to theymos, but did not receive an answer on this matter. And although Cyrus is also an administrator, and he spoke positively about this event, but still, he cannot make a sole decision on this issue, (As far as I understand).

In any case, I think theymos has his own idea of who deserves to bear the "Custom Titles" and who does not.

it is safe to say that Nullius personality is closer to AntiHero than anyone else.
Do you admit it @nullius?  Cheesy
I'll consider to add it on my vote, thank you to let me know about it.

Yes, this event will be held on an ongoing basis (traditionally in the fall).
Okay. Good to know it, I assume this event will make this forum more fun and to appreciate the contibution of valuable members as well.

As for next year, hopefully Theymos will pay attention to this event and maybe join in as a sponsor.

Who but the forum’s true 🏆 Antihero could achieve my antiheroic artistry?
Perhaps today I will plunge into the astral world and call "Cat Spirit" to account.  Roll Eyes

11. Antihero : - (cannot blame someone, sorry)

I hope this can be objective enough. Very nice to have this Community Awards.
@theymos, how if those members who win this Community Awards will have special badges, even temporary badges only.
@icopress, it seems we will have this Community Awards every year, right?
Since this is a agitational thread, and given that Lauda cannot object to this for obvious reasons... it is safe to say that Nullius personality is closer to AntiHero than anyone else.

Yes, this event will be held on an ongoing basis (traditionally in the fall). As for next year, hopefully Theymos will pay attention to this event and maybe join in as a sponsor. Below is an example of how administrators can support this event.

And overall, the West should return to the roots of the Occident:
μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ...
Wrath, o goddess sing...’  —In the beginning of Western literature:  Homer.  Do I look wrathful to you?  —Be I thus accursed?  —Be it so, I will reign in Hell...

I admit:  I am “evil”*!  (← Timelord2067, please quote and archive, with your usual vague and ridiculous insinuation of having caught me saying something that I didn’t damn well mean.  Thanks.)

* This admission is qualified below.  But first, I have a public service announcement as part of my antiheroic campaign to beat up on idiots till they ignore-list me:

If you are not reading it, then it is not for you.
Too bad.
Quote from: Nietzsche
Everyone being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.
ahem.  I’ll just wait right here, whilst the unmitigated savages add me to their ignore lists.  For they should not be allowed to read what I am about to write.


PSA:  If you dislike my posts, then please don’t read my writing! Thank you.

Ah, that’s better!  Now that everyone is gone, I can get to my point.





THIS SPACE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT NULL.






I am untamed and untameable.

Uh-oh, the NSA found me.
Quote from: Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals, I.11.
The method of this man is quite contrary to that of the aristocratic man, who conceives the root idea “good” spontaneously and straight away, that is to say, out of himself, and from that material then creates for himself a concept of “bad”!  This “bad” of aristocratic origin and that “evil” out of the cauldron of unsatisfied hatred—the former an imitation, an “extra,” an additional nuance; the latter, on the other hand, the original, the beginning, the essential act in the conception of a slave-morality...

...these men who in their relations with each other find so many new ways of manifesting consideration, self-control, delicacy, loyalty, pride, and friendship, these men are in reference to what is outside their circle (where the foreign element, a foreign country, begins), not much better than beasts of prey, which have been let loose.  They enjoy there freedom from all social control, they feel that in the wilderness they can give vent with impunity to that tension which is produced by enclosure and imprisonment in the peace of society, they revert to the innocence of the beast-of-prey conscience, like jubilant monsters, who perhaps come from a ghostly bout of murder, arson, rape, and torture, with bravado and a moral equanimity, as though merely some wild student's prank had been played, perfectly convinced that the poets have now an ample theme to sing and celebrate....  ...all these aristocratic races... the Roman, Arabic, German, and Japanese nobility, the Homeric heroes, the Scandinavian Vikings...  a consciousness of this very barbarianism, and even a pride in it, manifests itself even in their highest civilisation (for example, when Pericles says to his Athenians in that celebrated funeral oration, “Our audacity has forced a way over every land and sea, rearing everywhere imperishable memorials of itself for good and for evil”).
Quote from: Nietzsche, The Antichrist, #2.
The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity.  And one should help them to it.

What is more harmful than any vice?— Practical sympathy for the botched and the weak— Christianity...

Antiheroic” enough for you insapient talking monkeys?  ;-)

When you vote, just remember:  Only I would run a political campaign by quoting the anti-democratic Nietzsche, and taunting the voters—who are probably too stupid to realize that this is my way of laughing at their opinions, no matter whether or not they vote for me.  —We (royal “we”) must amuse ourselves...

I want to thank you all that vote for me for SpamBuster but I have to disappoint you people. Since the voting is for 2020 i was not so active in terms of reporting.
Oh, I didn't met you earlier as I became active on the forum this May 2020, I just have the feeling of your excellent good work about spamBusting, but for sure you can't be doing one thing for ever.
After i became a father earlier this year my attention and time is dedicated to my family. I have no more than 1000 reports for the past 11 months...
Really? I'm just a young school leaver last year, I wish you the best in your family endeavors, it's nice as you left a good legacy on the forum, I could only recognise YOSHIE as the current spamBuster and I voted him anyway.

STOP THE COUNT!

I have the same feeling. I personally think others (e.g Loyce, Vod, suchmoon) have done more "exceptional contribution to the development of Bitcointalk" than I did, but some people keep voting on me.

There is clearly some abuse going on. Why is the category even called Bitcointalk Ninja? All of those votes will be legally challenged by me. 🐱‍👤

Thank you Coyster for the nomination! It seems that my continuous work for eradicating spam did not go unnoticed.

Oh well, oh well! It's a great honor to see my name nominated to a section by Capo di tutti capi! Smiley Thank you Foxpup! Seriously: I really appreciate!

  • Antihero: Lauda 😼, nullius
How much more antiheroic could I be?

⚠ WARNING:  This post exposes Nullian secrets.

[WO] Truth, the Ruler of Men
* My dick is bigger than a twitlib’s—where “dick” has a subtextual meaning of “supreme mastery of hermeneutics”, and its size is an allegory for my powers of mythological interpretation.

Much of my more serious writing contains cryptic literary allusions.  I do hope that someday, professors will apply the proper methods of hermeneutics and textual criticism to find all of the hidden meanings subtly onion-layered into my forum posts.  (To be clear, my only lack of confidence is in the hope that scholars will exist in the future.)

For example, from my personal political manifesto:

It is the anarchy of amoralists who rise beyond good and evil to shatter the table of values of the mob’s slave-morality, and thus clear the way for their own tables of values.

[...]

For those whose honour is pride and whose pride is self-honour, law is at best superfluous; and the law of the mob must be explicitly rejected.

[...]

And in practice, the system with the best mob-appeal is, of course, democracy on the principle of “one sheep, one vote”.  Thereupon do the sheep choose as shepherds those who are most adept at pandering to the masses, playing petty politics, and manipulating majority opinion with cunning propaganda.

[...]

Sheep can no more be taught to think than dogs can be taught to sing opera.

[...]

Wherefore let none dare any heresy against the “one sheep, one vote” principle of governance, a sacred relic that you must worship at the altar of the masses.  Of course, this state of affairs is entirely convenient for the priests of the opinion-factories.

Democracy is not three wolves and a sheep voting on dinner:  It is the flock obediently voting on the shepherd’s opinion of wolves.  Wherefore wolves are an endangered species.

[...]

Free yourself first from the moral authority of the mob.  You owe nothing to mass opinion; therefore, the laws which rise on mass opinion have no proper authority over you.  You do not consent to be governed by the votes of millions of anthropoid livestock who want to be bound in chains—who eagerly embrace those chains just as long as they remain warm, fed, and adequately entertained.  You are a law unto yourself.

Wherefore “anarchy” as to the masses and their so-called “governments”, which are in truth no more than the largest, most well-armed organized criminal gangs.  Don’t reject authority:  Be your own authority.

(a) The term “table of values”, in the context of (b) herds of sheep and (c) rejection of laws, was an allusion to several specific passages in Nietzsche’s Thus spake Zarathustra.  The reference to Beyond Good and Evil is more overtly Nietzschean—as is, of course, the condemnation of the mob’s Sklavenmoral, and the declaration of my amoralism.

In parallel, there is hereby a doubly indirect hidden homage to Lauda, such as I have not infrequently enjoyed inserting into my posts.  (Pedantic note:  “Laudable” and “löblich” have different etymologies, albeit the same meanings.)  No doubt, she would appreciate it.
There are hereby multiple layers of abstract indirection, which you can probably follow if you know C/C++ programming and/or witchcraft.

Compare the above passage to the below:

...that has resulted in heroes oft becoming “antiheroes”.  But you would just scroll on by, like the “unmitigated savages” you are (lolz).


Why do I do it?  Inter alia:  To spend energy.

If you are not reading it, then it is not for you.

The Laudatory Quantum Superposition

It is a Schrödinger’s cat experiment!  Lauda is caught in the quantum superposition of Absolute Hero of Good and Antihero until the votes are counted.

Unlike me, Lauda was kind and gentle.  She is a suitable candidate for the Absolute Hero of Good.

I have also now amended my vote to nominate her for Miss Bitcointalk, as some others have.  Indeed, she was rather girly!

—Wait.  Lauda’s husband is the Terminator!!?!? Shocked

An indisputably serious confession of witchcraft connubial status, accompanied by videographic PROOF that Lauda is married to the Terminator:
Obviously I'm compelled to first thank my husband for his unwavering support and love; secondly, I'd like to thank my cult which has served their Queen very well over its short existence.


Lauda was always lolz. 😺

But she was also what some people may call an “antihero”:

(See also the full/original graphic.)


How will the superposition resolve?  I am in suspense!







Congrats bro.
but what does Craft Master exactly mean? what did you do or built?

I will answer that, for I was the one who nominated GazetaBitcoin.  As his name implies, he runs a Bitcoin newspaper.  His “craft” is journalism.  Wherefore the explanatory note:

Code:
10. Craft Master ................... GazetaBitcoin
    (for in-depth posts on cypherpunks history & current events)

Now, since I am more of a royal “jerk” (or evidently perceived that way) than T. C. May...



On “Antiheroes”

I think that some people are misinterpreting the “Antihero” category.

Now, I would hereby expound on the transvaluation of values that has resulted in heroes oft becoming “antiheroes”.  But you would just scroll on by, like the “unmitigated savages” you are (lolz).

I suggest that a succinct description for an antihero, on the level of the popular mind, is that an antihero is like a villain with his own fan club.  In literature, an antihero is (or should be) more distinct from a glorious villain; but modernity has so blurred the lines...

Ah, yes—literature!  Perhaps the archetypal antihero is the Satan of John Milton’s Paradise Lost:  He is truly the hero of the story, but he is—literally Satan.

Lol at nullius coming out of retirement to red tag for " empathy" [...blah, blah...]

TPOTO... lol I imagine that tune everytime you post now...

TPOTO... lol I imagine that tune everytime you post now...

Since I am having trouble keeping track of all of the references and the various drama points, I googled TPOTO....

I got:  The Phantom of the Opera.

Nullius is of course TPOTO.

Nullius is of course TPOTO.

I confess, “bonesjones” doxed me!

“nullius” is Erik, better known as The Phantom.  Behold my glory!



Whoops!  Calling me the evil genius who lives beneath the opera house, working on his artistic masterpiece and killing off incompetent singers?  Not insulted here. ;-)  The Phantom has his own fan club.

Just to drive home the point of how terribly antiheroic I am, here is a graphic that I made a few weeks ago, for an unpublished post about the proper use of rude people flopped on the Left:

N.b., I reserve the right still to portray myself as the Terminator.  Nothing is thus meant toward you, Kitty.  Anyway, I look more like the one in Reese’s flashback nightmare scene. ;-)


Post scratched out in haste—to be edited/extended with some cleanup, plus thoughts about Lauda.  — Edited much over about the first 90 minutes, then tweaked a few times much later for artistic reasons and/or to add anchor tags.

I think Nullius meant that GazetaBitcoin has a penchant for studying the history of cypherpunks and cryptanarchists ...
Or, at least, it implied a firm belief in these values ​​and judgments...
