[SomePlayaDude]

2007 - present Team Fortress 2

​

The most successful and influential f2p game on the face on the earth.

Is still run by Valve, and assisted by the community.

Known as Conga Hat Simulator by fans, and spawned an endless amounts of memes, such as Pootis, Painis Cupcake, Ninja Spy, Pop It Don't Drop It and many many more.

The very reason why Half Life 3 will be confirmed due to the Illuminati.

Voice splicing the many characters are known to make way better versions of certain songs.

Seriously, a FPS that rewards skill and teamwork more than any other in its genre.

10/10, would Conga again.

Mistake Brett Farve Action Figure:View attachment 280991
Company: Gracelyn
Action Figure: NFL Re-Plays Series III Brett Farve (Throwback).
Where I found it: I found it in the clearance section at Walmart about 6 years ago.
What's the mistake?: The action figure is dark skinned. Brett Farve is white.
Others with the same mistake?: Not that I am aware of. I did some research and only found action figures that were correct.
Why is his right arm detached?:
I'm not exactly sure but there is a break in the seal but it's only at the bottom. For this reason I believe it was a returned item.
Value: I do not know the value. I've never got it appraised but will in the future. Probably be worth more than the $5 I paid for it.

* Nominations which are not considered to be notable enough to be polled will not be polled. Notability is up to curator and/or staff discretion.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Hmm... The notability on that one is borderline for me. Any less notable and I would say "no, no one will vote on this", but I can actually form an opinion on how cool it is, and most other users probably could too. The question is whether or not they would want to.

If I get the mods or someone coming along saying that it's not worth it, it wont go up, otherwise it will (unless the user changes their nomination).

 

[DurWinning]

Hey @Roger the Horse small error on the first page for my nomination. Billy Mays isn't alive anymore. Would that still count as 1958-Present or shouldn't that be switched to 1958-2009?

 

[All Your Base]

[The Stig Farmer]

Sorry but you can't have famous bots without Tornado and its anti-Razor cage.

 

[Epic B]

^Oh boy, this is gonna be good.

Still questioning whether I should nominate Equestria Girls at some point. But probably not EQUESTRIA GIRLS.

Don't except him/her/it to have it up to date all the time.

Exactly. It's just like the Whammed User Log.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Sorry but you can't have famous bots without Tornado and its anti-Razor cage.

I will put it in, but not with the brilliant bit of design rule bending added.

 

[PeterJB]

Sorry but you can't have famous bots without Tornado and its anti-Razor cage.

By its very existence that robot is a cardinal sin.

 

[Roger the Horse]

@Roger the Horse The last 4 nominations are not in the queue.

A horse has to eat, sleep, exercise and make mixtapes, don't you know?

Don't except him/her/it to have it up to date all the time.

I prefer them/they/their, personally.



And seriously, I have been almost obsessively making mixtapes recently. It's kind of a coping mechanism for all the paranoia and stuff that goes on in my head. I'm sure it's not actually healthy.

 

[Roger the Horse]

OK, unless someone gets another in before midnight, this will most likely be the last nomination before the hiatus starts:

Just as a clarification, the GTP Alternative Cool Wall will close after the remaining backlog of nominations is cleared. It was always an experiment, and in my view interest in all but a few threads (usually fast aircraft) has not been sufficient to warrant its continuation.

Thank you for your nominations, votes, and discussion. It's been interesting.







I just noticed that I wrote it is continuation. What? Edited.

I can take over if you wish.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I can take over if you wish.

Not trying to offend you, but as far as I've seen, everything you've tried to start or take over has failed so far. I wouldn't expect this to get any farther.

I knew this was coming.

The only reason I abandoned the Advanced Warfare Cool Wall was because everyone was against the idea. I will admit it was sort of a mistake to cancel the Music CW. I thought of how unpopular it would be, and I beg to differ.

Hey, you gave it a go, and now you're putting it away. You've done better than I did. Enjoyed...some...of the polls, the others...it was definitely the subject matter.

 

[Sage Ages]

Is there any possibility of a successor? This just seems too good of an idea to die and it's possible someone might be able to take over.

 

[Cano]

You suck, Roger. Keep on it.

 

[Roger the Horse]

@Custom878, personally I think it would be best if for the time being it stopped. I may restart it myself some day, I may hand it over to someone else if they seem capable, but for now it needs to swoop in, land gently, and rest.

It takes up too much space on the forum and too much of my time for the relatively low amount of activity the vast majority of these threads receive to warrant. I'm also wary of handing it over to anyone who might not be able to handle it effectively, and would feel that if someone were to take my place then the assigning of that person should be a community decision.

The other issue if it were to restart is that the nomination criteria would need to ensure that the polls are consistently for more interesting subjects (while grandfathering the results of the old polls). The popularity of each poll varies greatly by subject matter, hence why I feel it failed as an experiment. Perhaps this would make a good discussion point? I dunno.

Could this be the last nomination?

1983-1985 Honda ATC 200X

Production: 1983-1985 (first generation)
Engine: 192cc air-cooled 4 Stroke
Horsepower: 18
Torque: 12 lb-ft
Dry Weight: 282lbs
Transmission: 5 speed manual w/ clutch
Brakes: Front + Rear hydraulic discs w/ single piston calipers
Compression Ratio: 9.6:1
Starter: Kick
Top Speed: 58 mph

Notes: The baby of the race three wheelers back in the 1980's. This was one of Honda's most popular models, selling well over 150,000 units in it's first 3 years of production. This machine was noteable in it's extreme reliability, since it's engine was sourced from the XR200 dirt bike and later helped create the base for the modern CRF 230 engines. It was also noteable in that it was a fantastic trail machine. It also came with it's own small tool kit mounted to the machine for spark plug removal and other basic maintanence. A neat feature was it's air intake duct up near the handlebars, which meant you could drown these under a lake and it would still run. Today, there are still thousands on the market with a ton of aftermarket support as it's one of the most popular ATV's that was ever created, and helped pave the way towards many of the receation machines you see today. Contrary to popular belief, the machines are legal, safe and quite fun in the right enviroment. They are arguably more popular than ever.
