Floating Mistletoe - Baneful Hindrance

[Connie]

If this floating mistletoe doesn't stop floating all over the screen soon, I'm gonna have to get a shotgun.  lol
Plus....I don't get it with the cures and curses - too confusing.  What's bad?  What's good?  Damned if I can figure it out.
It wasn't long ago that Roger Davis was floating across the screen and then some other people - can't remember who - and now THIS.

I say we take up a collection and send MB off somewhere for a rest....relaxation....maybe some regression therapy or something.  (I don't quite know what that is, but it sounds good).  lol

 

PS  It wouldn't be so bad if when you click it on it says, "Congratulations!  You've won a roll in the hay with   (Fill in blank)  ".....or some such thing.

I missed all the floaties prior to the mistletoe.

I'm addicted to it and click on it every chance I get. I haven't looked at Karma in ages - mine or anyone elses.

As I understand it - Curses are Good, and cures are bad... right guys?  LOL     Like dom said, I'm kinda addicted to it as well. Can't help it... must get...curses fix.... ahhhhhhhhhhh....needed that.

I think he's just trying to make to evil woman/person status (a good thing  ).  Whoopsies...wrong list. LOL

LMAOooooooooo... Oh, I would get a kick outta that... big time!  LOL

Tired nut,

Me thinks you must be enjoying it more than you're letting on becauise so far you've caught the mistletoe seven times and have earned yourself 8 cures and 10 curses (everyone's stats show up on their public profile page). And at least you're ahead at this point. 

Like dom said, I'm kinda addicted to it as well. Can't help it.

And that's exactly what I like to see - people who are more than willing to have some FUN! 


(Just for the record, the floating mistletoe wasn't actually something I came up with - it's been a very popular Christmas feature on SMF's Web site for the past two season's and they made the scripts for it available earlier this year.)

Is that what you thinks?  lol  (Hey - just because someone's been doing something doesn't mean they've necessarily been enjoying it.)  (My life is mute testimony to this)  lol
I keep waiting for some prize like DS Forums Bucks - redeemable for MPI DVD's or something.  I STILL haven't seen what DS looks like on DVD.

And at least you're ahead at this point. 

Am I?  Me thinks not.  The numbers are still pretty much in the same proportion to each other as they've always been.  Proportion is the key?  Yes?  No? 

And that's exactly what I like to see - people who are more than willing to have some FUN! 

Are you insinuating that I'm not?    Hey - I posted the topic didn't I?  Baneful Hindrance!  I thought that up all by myself! 


Happy New Year, MB!

(He gets cuter as he gets older - don't ya think, folks?)

Chortle - 

Well, MB darling, the addictive persona all started from Chuck E. Cheese.... know what I mean, kids? They stuff you with starchy pizza then innocently send the kiddies off with some golden coins to play with one tasty ticket-expelling machine after the next...a virtual microcosm of our competitive consumer driven society...a kiddie Vegas, that is...  Too much is not enough, ma... I NEED that overstuffed Chuck E. Cheese doll and the high speed racing car before its too late... only 1500 more cheese encrusted tickets, and I'll be there... ahhhhhhhhhh...

Whoops - what were we talking about? Rotfl

Well, I thank you for bringing it here... can be annoying (but only evilly so - chuckle) but its a *hoot* at the same time...

Let us pay tribute to the wonderful MODS and our webmaster on this glorious holiday:



Looking good MB, looking good...

lol

Yup - that's what I thinks. 

And at least you're ahead at this point. 

Am I?  Me thinks not.  The numbers are still pretty much in the same proportion to each other as they've always been.  Proportion is the key?  Yes?  No? 

Not really. The whole Karma thing is completely in fun, and so long as the difference between the curses and cures falls on the curses side (meaning it's more negative than positive), anyone is doing well - even if that difference is only a -1. At this moment, your curses outweigh your cures 60 to 39, making their difference -21, so you're definitely doing well. And before you'd clicked the mistletoe an additional four more times (for a total of 11 times so far  ), you had actually earned more curses that cures. But the fact that you've clicked four more times shows me that you were willing to gamble getting more cures. And that certainly makes it seem as if you've embraced Karma as the just for fun thing that it is. Otherwise, why would anyone who feared them risk more cures?    And as I told Heather in a topic on Current Talk, the people who are willing to gamble will be rewarded...

Ohhhh yeah - danger's my middle name.

You name it....I'll embrace it.

Otherwise, why would anyone who feared them risk more cures?

Damned if I know.  (Fearless - that's me).

Well, all I can say is, I'm clicking each time I see it and I've gone down hill so fast it ain't even funny.

You'd better check your Karma again because the bonus points have now been factored in for everyone (execpt me) who took part (Whoa dom and Heather!! ). Yes, sadly that means the floating mistletoe is no more for this Christmas season.    But wipe away those tears because that doesn't mean that other floaties won't show up throughout the coming year. In fact, everyone can look forward to seeing something floating across their monitor screens on at least five more occasions...

Problem with the floating mistletoe is that when I see something floating along so tantalizingly, my immediate instinct is to go for the shotgun, which can have a detrimental effect on computer screens.

[jennifer]

Can we float someone else 's hair over?.... oh sorry wrong post/site (wanted johnny damon's hair)
just wanted to ask i lost track of the cures/curses didn't you reverse them a while back ago?
i feel like Miss Vicki "i don't understand!"

[Mary]

Woohoo!  Look at all those bonus points factored in now!   Holy cats!  How cool!  Thanks, MB!  This was fun!

[Heather]

Oh MY Gaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwddddd!!!!  

What in the fudge...?!    Wow - I had 24 curse points before the clicking orgy started,  and now it's over 600?!

Sweet divine goddess, I'm in heaven... lmao

Very interesting... 

My oddball wish list:

Different fav characters floating gracefully across the screen (not just one GH or DB pic will do ); various accessories floating across the screen (brandy snifter, Julia's medallion, Julia's medical bag, Liz' tea service, Barn's cane...); a 'mystery' floatie wherein you really click at your own risk...points awarded, taken away, or just have various characters pop up and say something annoyingly cheeky...(yeah, I'm a nut like that). 

And, speaking of such awards... I secretly hope that there'll be a custom title competition one day down the road.     

Okay, get to it.  LOL

All great ideas!    But the future floaties are all tied to the occasions they'll pop up during, so, sadly, you most probably won't be seeing anything like your ideas in the foreseeable future. 

(And BTW, I was just over on SMF's site catching up on the latest posts and their mistletoe is *still* active - and it's been active since *before* Christmas. So, by comparision, ours was barely active at all!  )

And, speaking of such awards... I secretly hope that there'll be a custom title competition one day down the road.     

Thanks for reminding me. We haven't had a custom title competition in a LOOOOONG time, so we're definitely due for one. I'll try to think up something for the not too distant future.
