Poll: Why are we all here?

[wewontdie11]

I originally started visiting the site because of ZP in all of it's awesomeness, but I now regularly sign in just because of the damn cool community that resides within these forums.

 

[OverlordSteve]

The Women, of course. Because there are TONS of Girls on the Internet.

Seriously, the Forums and the actual Magazine.

[HEADING=1]Iron Ninja presents: A special look at the history of the triumvirate of evil.[/HEADING]

The Trimvirate of evil (also known, depending on who you ask, as "the federation of evil" or just plain old "the Triumvirate) is a completely useless and almost entirely cosmetic alliance between the escapist users The Iron Ninja,(known as Magistrate Ninja or FeNinja) Ares Tyr (Known as Rossputin) and NewClassic (Known as Nuke Lassic).

It was formed on the 30th of August, 2008. Rising from brink of a conflict between the three posters. What follows is both the end of the conflict, and the founding words of the Triumvirate.

I humbly suggest, to my dear compatriot Ares Tyr, that he prepare to be slain by my hand. I would respectfully inquire as to whether or not he has any final words to impart upon the world. Then I, with the utmost sincerity, suggest he prepare to die.

...

Okay, honestly, this charade has gone forth long enough. Ares, not only do I suggest a truce, I would like to inquire as to a union. A Legion of Doom of sorts. Combined, we'll have the power of endless armies.

And you, Iron Ninja, join us, and together we shall form a dynamic trio the likes of which no one has every seen. The Three Amigos. Of DOOM!

[ON TOPIC]
I really freakin' like running jokes, which is why I've strung along with Ares and FeNinja for as long as I have.

And I also have a compulsive habit of bolding user names, especially in respectful or praiseful references. Or if I'm addressing them directly.
[/ON TOPIC]

I concede to your truce. I find the possibilities... interesting.

I prefer something more sinister sounding... such as "The Triumvirant" or however that silly poppy cock is spelled.

I shall also join this alliance. The skulls of legions of misinformed misanthropes will be crushed under our Iron boots (I'll give you two some of my spares). Onward to glory!

Aww, you all get a piece of imaginary apple pie!

Allies, weapons, doom, legions, skulls, Iron Boots, and pie?

Life is good.

And thus, the Triumvirate was born.
(Very few, if anyone at all, has any idea why it is "The Triumvirate of Evil" and not something more relevant to the posters themselves, but then, no one really asked about it, so it just stuck.)

Zero Punctuation is the reason why we came here in the FIRST PLACE, but after these great videos and people here we don't have all of our attention on ZP, but it's the first place I check for new videos, but i couldn't imagine life without all you cool (and sometimes annoying) people.

EDIT: I went super softie there for a minute... I gotta go watch some ZP...

 

[sidhe3141]

Zero Punctuation, Unforgotten Realms, Drawn by Pain, and the fact that the forums only rarely turn into a name-calling contest.

 

[Reibear]

I don't even go to this website often. I don't regularly check for new Zero Punctuation, I just find it by eventually getting linked to it somehow. The latest time was actually via playing 5 Days a Stranger instead of "hey this video is pretty cool huh."
But even then, I never touched any other part of the website.

In any case, somehow (I don't recall) I found out about the gamerlympics, so that is why I am here. To be honest, I don't know if I will stay afterwards.

 

[Evilbunny]

I wish I had something different to add, but much like practically everybody else, I came here for Zero Punctuation and stayed for the community.

 

[IM A WILD PARTY]

Started with ZP, now I read all the articles and read some forum postings.

 

[milskidasith]

I'm not gonna lie: I wouldn't be here if it weren't for ZP. I needed a nice, farily steady forum, and this fit the bill, but without Zero Punctuation I probably wouldn't have found this site at all.

 

[Imitation Saccharin]

I came because of ZP. And I stay because...well I don't stay. Goodbye.

 

[Relgaro]

I probably watch and read everything on here, but i selected the forums, i come to the escapist merely to enjoy myself since i put it with other time consuming sites such as Newgrounds. I do watch Zero Punctuation every week, but i also watch De-Rez and other stuff, The Escapist is like my online version of PC Gamer so i am happy.

Keep up the good work guys.

 

[sirdiealot88]

You guys aren't really helping my case here. I'm trying to proof that the Escapist is great, even if ZP wasn't on here

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Why isn't there a 'Zero Punctuation and community' option? I wanted to watch ZP because I heard about him on Youtube, but then I wanted to go on the forums so I signed up! ^_^

A little similar, eh????

 

[Andraste]

I love that 'women' have more votes than 'unforgotten realms' - those poor animators

What? The womenz here are H-O-T hot.

I am here because I like the site - articles, videos, forums- first, and well, cuz I work here, second.

 

[Archon]

I admire the fearless leadership of company management.

 

[the protaginist]

ZP stole my soul the minute i saw the fable review on Youtube,and the forums,De-rez,and Unforgotten realms kept me here.

 

[Calobi]

To paraphrase some old, probably dead dude: "Come for the ZP, stay for the forums."

This is a very loose paraphrase; and, may in fact, not even be along the same lines.

 

[CriMs0nC0bra]

Why are we here?
Plastic.

And if ANYONE knows what I mean by that.. <3
