As the last thread seems to have dropped off the bottom somewhere, I thought I would just make a new one.
We already spoke of EvilBunny and the concensus was 'ok but i cant be bothered to pm sel right now' and I think someone else mention mr bunsy??
I dont remember, to be honest. Someone post the other suggestions here though.

SupSuper

We should probably wait until Sel's back from his holidays.

Yes.
Evil Bunny and Mr. Bunsy.

I'd agree with both of those.
I'm also going to be controversial and say Akuryou.
What?
He's quite a senior member of the forum, he's become a lot better than he used to be, If anything some of us spam and flame more than he has in the past few months.
I don't think he poses any threat to OD, he doesn't seem to have anything much to do with iguana's lot.
He's not the most liked forum member of all time, hell I don't particularly like him (I don't particularly hate him either), I just think that he's earnt a place here.

You're right with that.
And since I have already suggested him in the previous thread I say yes.
We could pull off another parody of Akuryou's avatar only this time he could help to raise some dust.
Also he is the top poster with 8,216 posts since June 2003 which definitely is worth some reward for all the time wasted on this forum. :D

I'm considering suggesting Iguana, just so he stops bugging me about it. Gah! Make him stop :(

SupSuper

EvilBunny and MrBunsy seem fine to me. They don't seem to post a lot, but most ODers don't. :p
I'd have to agree with Akuryou too. Even though we've picked on him a lot, he seems a lot more level-headed than most of the new breeds we're getting, and not all wrapped with counter-conspiracies and what not. I'm sure he'd act mature if given the responsibility, and not be offended by how many times we picked on him. ;)
If anything, it'd be one heck of a twist on the forum for the one we kept picking on, to get to do some picking himself. I'd like to see Iguana comment that. :p

Pigbuster
23 Jul 2006, 17:45
I'm not really against Aku either, but I think that there are a lot of people that don't like him that much in here. Might raise the RUFFLES.

Well, if you are to invite him maybe we should get rid of a couple of theads first :rolleyes: :p

Yeah, that would be the slight problem with Akuryou.... and I'm a bit too busy at the moment...

Slick
23 Jul 2006, 19:11
I don't know about Aku, he seems to get pretty pridefull. And getting access to OD may boost that up. But meh, I don't personally have a problem with him, but I know others do. So why not we all vote on it when the time comes?

SupSuper
23 Jul 2006, 19:42
He already knows we like picking on him, how much worse could it get? :p
Besides, if we let him in, I doubt he'll risk starting trouble. After all, everyone else stays in line because they fear getting banned.

Paul.Power
23 Jul 2006, 21:24
Oh, go on, let him in.
And while we're at it, we need to remove the oversight that we forgot to let Saffya in.

Star Worms
23 Jul 2006, 21:34
I think we need to stop holding grudges. I know I'm guilty of that. Personally I don't think Aku or Iguana are bad posters. I think we've decided in the past that if someone asks to be let in, they don't get in. As for Aku, I think we've held a grudge on him, and other posters like pilot and AK. They're not bad posters and they've served their time here.

thomasp
23 Jul 2006, 21:52
I don't really know why, but I just have a bad feeling about letting Akuryou13 in....

SupSuper
23 Jul 2006, 23:04
I'm sure Sel can put him back out if he causes trouble.

KamikazeBananze
24 Jul 2006, 01:55
I've always thought Aku already WAS in here. Oh well.
I think he should be in here. He's been here a hell of a long time. He deserves a break.

Plutonic
24 Jul 2006, 02:07
Aku is a weird one, he goes through phases, but hes been here long enough, with a few removed posts I dont see why we cant finally let him in. Can't realy comment on saff, never realy noticed her posting, probably because I read the wrong areas of the forum. But I'm all for it if everyone else is.

Pickleworm
24 Jul 2006, 04:17
Definatly MrBunsy. I'll leave any other nominations to everyone else so that I can point fingers later.

Zero72
24 Jul 2006, 11:06
I'd like to let Saffya in, even though she hardly ever posts.I don't really know why, but I just have a bad feeling about letting Akuryou13 in....
Very ditto.

bonz
24 Jul 2006, 15:38
Plutonic, could you make a poll (with multiple options)?
Evil Bunny
MrBunsy
Saffya
Akuryou13
Iguana
Note that the last 2 are only there to not let the voting look like it was from Nazi Germany... :p

MtlAngelus
24 Jul 2006, 15:59
I'm surprised FutureWorm hasn't nominated Plasma...
:p

Paul.Power
24 Jul 2006, 17:33
Should we try the likes of pilot62 and Cisken as well?

UnKnown X
24 Jul 2006, 17:41
I honestly don't see why not. I mean, this whole Iguana/AK/Cisken/whoever rebellion have kept their mouth shut so far, and they do make decent posts (mostly, anyway :p). I don't see how they'd be a threat, or even a nuisance, to OD.

SupSuper
24 Jul 2006, 17:44
I'm fine with Cisken. Not too sure about Pilot or Iguana though, they might just end up thinking that harrasing us is the way to get in.

UnKnown X
24 Jul 2006, 17:52
I don't know Pilot too well, but I speak with Iguana regularly via IM, and he seems level-headed enough (surprisingly :p), really.

SupSuper
24 Jul 2006, 17:57
Everytime he talks to me, it's to insult something. :p Or occasionally ask something sensible. But mostly insults.

UnKnown X
24 Jul 2006, 18:17
He's fairly prejudicial about what's in OD, yeah. I've tried to convince him that we don't make hate threads (that Plasma thread was just a remark about his arrogance and ignorance, damnit :p), and we don't plot conspiracies here, but he still thinks we're evil people. Though I'm sure he'll change his mind once he sees what it's like here. It's like that Eon8 thing, basically :p They don't know what happens here; they think we're terrorists. More or less.

thomasp
24 Jul 2006, 18:34
I'm sure Sel can put him back out if he causes trouble.
Trouble with that is - keeping him quiet...

My suggestion of Akuryou13 in the last invitation thread almost caused an uproar and now other people suggest him.
So...
My new, soon to be dismissed suggestion:
Horigan ;)
I wonder if he's on the pro-choice side in that one discussion. :D
Seriously:
Evil Bunny, MrBunsy and Saffya seem to be enough serious people.
IIRC, when I got granted access to OD, only Glenn got in at the same time.
Who will add poll, btw?

And you're damn quick at it too. :)
Edit:
Just a thought:
Maybe we should have checked all the previous suggestions of people that didn't end up getting OD access.

Pickleworm
24 Jul 2006, 21:44
I'm glad we saw through the 'adding Cisken1 to OD' nonsense.
I am totally indifferent to pilot62. He doesn't seem too bad.

i dunno about pilot... i remember him spamming everywhere and getting watched...

MadEwokHerd

Tell you what, here's a list of people who have at least 300 posts, were registered for at least 1 year, have made a post within the last month, and are not on Sel's list of people in OD (which means it includes team17 staff who ARE in OD):
Mr.cosmico
farazparsa

If someone can get me a list of people who aren't Team17 staff, I'll cut those out.
Edit: Results of a scan of the list for people I sort of recognize and have an ok impression of: Evil Bunny, Lex, quakerworm, Cyclaws. So I say we nominate the last 3. *doesn't votes for Evil Bunny in order to not mess up the other polls*

FutureWorm
25 Jul 2006, 02:35
Lex is cool, I would like to see him in here.
You'll want to remove Spadge, Kilburn, Luther and Sel from that list, for starters.
Also, Akuryou is a definite no. He's not as bad as Iguana, but I still have a bad feeling about him in OD.

Slick
25 Jul 2006, 04:31
I didn't mean out of OD.
Still, if he gets banned...he can still talk to other people. And him being banned is only going to back the story up.

bonz
25 Jul 2006, 07:29
Seeing that list I think Lex, KRD and Seita definitely deserve OD access.
Oh, and CyberShdw!
It's amazing what he did for W:A with all his tools and his Wiki page.

Aku is a dick, alright? Cisken is an idiot. Pilot is both.
Edit: Guess I'd better watch my tongue, since 8 people have decided to ignore his dickery.

Then I'd definaly say yes to Lex, KRD and CyberShadow.

Done.

bonz

Yes. I say the should get access regardless of the result of the poll.
Another thing:
There are no OD member with the letters I and Q... :-/

Hmm, maybe AT has something to do with a certain galleon.
Smells like conspiracy.

Unless... don't forget that Team 17 Staff can see in here too! Maybe they have Is and Qs among their number.

I made a new thread, with the new poll, and merged them. The old poll fell off into the ether somewhere and then I edited the post I'd just made to say "Done".
There are no OD member with the letters I and Q... :-/
...and yet our average IQ is higher.

I would like to go on record stating that although Akuryou isn't as bad as he used to be, he still hardly seems the type who would fit in here. I doubt he'd appreciate our subtle brand of humour. That and I still just sort of hate him. I won't deny that I'm a bit of an ass at times, but it's not generally without reason. And if it is without reason, it's clearly sarcastic. I'm voting a very emphatic no towards him.
And if Iguana ever gets in, I quit OD. I'm not kidding.

No I didn't.

I just stated that there are none (starting) with the letters I and Q.But if he did, that would just leave Q. So there's a completist's argument for letting him in :p.
Q. Hmm. Ben, doesn't your sister's account name begin with a Q?

bonz
26 Jul 2006, 18:40
But if he did, that would just leave Q.
I'd suggest Quasimojo then.
AFAIR, he had something to do with the "random scheme generator" and made some nice color maps.

thomasp

I kind of agree with the comments made earlier that Akuryou13 wouldn't really fit in here - he just doesn't seem like the type of person who would really appreciate this place...

SomePerson
2 Aug 2006, 04:09
My concern with letting Iguana or Pilot or the lot in is that they might spread the word to their cronies outside of OD.
Nothing we say here would remain a secret. All of our avatar fads and other fun would be ruined.
I don't know they can be trusted. They could leak information through MSN and we'd never know.

Perhaps just people that are getting two-thirds or greater approval? Right now that's three, and it could be down to two if someone who doesn't like Saffya votes.

bonz
3 Aug 2006, 20:12
The problem is, I forgot about Lex & KRD and suggested them too late.
If it's 2 people that get access this time, I'd say Evil Bunny and Lex, completely ignoring the poll.
KRD and Mr.Bunsy next (immediately, without any poll).

Plutonic
4 Aug 2006, 02:54
and CyberShadow, add him to the second lot

Star Worms
4 Aug 2006, 04:10
Lex and EvilBunny for sure. Saffya only really posts in the fanart and being a good artist is not a good reason for an invite. And MrBunsy I think is a bit borderline.

SupSuper
4 Aug 2006, 11:12
I don't wanna see Saffya in here. She may seem normal in the forums, but she tends to freak me out outside.

Pigbuster
5 Aug 2006, 04:47
You know, Saffya doesn't really post enough for me to determine if she should be here or not. I kinda just voted for everyone really fast without any thought put into it. :p

5 Aug 2006, 16:03
I think I'm going to start a new poll, then.
