BLAMsnipers: Revised and Revisited

1,512 Views | 28 Replies
New Topic

Alright, I know we waded through a lot of crap in the last thread, so I figured with the new forum, we should start anew. Here are some principles/guidelines/whatever that our crew was founded upon:

1.First off I would like to say that WE ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE BLAM CLUB. We catch shit from people saying that we are a "rip-off" and so on.

2.We are just a bunch of guys testing our skill and accuracy, trying to get the final blam on a crappy flash submitted to the portal. So if we are a "rip-off" of anything, we would be one of what the Blam Club used to be. In essence, we are trying to recreate the feel of the old blam club, when you get down to it.

3. We really have no limits as to who can join. As long as you're not an asshole who likes starting shit with people for no reason, you're ok by me.

4. You get very little recognition in this. A little number in your sig if you wish, but not much more. If your heart is set on joining, ask me or Burner1515(fellow founding member) and we'll get you a number.

5. There is no definite way of pulling off a final blam. There are too many variables in the blamming process to make it predictable. There are three checkpoints that a flash must pass before it is safe, which are as follows:

A.50 votes & score of 1.00 or less
B.75 votes & score of 1.25 or less
C.100 votes & score of 1.50 or less

This might be of help, but you are not told how many votes an entry has until it is no longer "Under Judgement". You are only given the number of views. But it has been my experience that about 2/3 of the people that view an entry actually vote. Again I must say that this is not definite and will not always work, but just another way to do it.

6. This is just for sport, as my co-founder so put it. We seek the challenge and the "final blam" movie you get as a reward, not the actual blam. If you are worried about blam points, I strongly urge you join the Blam Club instead, because you risk losing a blam if you do it our way.

That is all for now, I bid thee farewell.

And it's not lame to post in a thread with nothing better to say than "OOOHHH YOU KNOW THIS IS LAME!"?
You should've added "OOOHHH LOOK AT ME I'M SO INSECURE THAT I HAVE TO BASH OTHER PEOPLE FOR NO REASON BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL IMPORTANT!" Come back and post when your little 13-year-old brain actually experiences a neural synapse connection and you have something better to say...even a more developed complaint would please me.

hey how can you effectively call yourself a blam sniper if u're totally guessing
a) what the score is
b) what the number of votes is

i mean you're a few months late ... in the old system it would have worked, i had my share of blams that way ... not anymore though

I thought of the whole club idea when i was posting in a forum about how Burner1515 got his first "final blam" and that I too had just gotten my first as well, saw the little movie, and was now obsessed with seeing it again. He replied, saying that his life also revolved around making the "last blam", and then I just happened to say, "Hey, why don't we start a club?" Then it took off from there.

Like I said, when the new system was introduced, the importance of the final blam no longer existed. We are simply trying to recreate it.

If "thats just gay" is all you can come up with, I suggest you get a cat scan, because their sure as hell isn't much brain activity going on up there. Like I said before, come back when you have a valid complaint.

Oh and BTW...what purpose does the FF club serve, hm?
No offense to the other members, but letting people like you into their organization is what makes them lose credibility.

Response to BLAMsnipers: Revised and Revisited Mar 3, 2003


I agree with you sparky64. That was totally uncalled for. His views in no way represent the opinions of the FF club.

Sorry about the comment about your club, I just got pissed off. I know the purpose of a club is to get together and talk about stuff, which you guys most likely do...anything else that your club does?

Guys please spam in the general forum...although I have never seen any of your names thier before that is were you belong if you want to put people down.
And about guessing, it is not guessing if you wait untill you see red, duh. I have made more last blams that way then just random blams.
Also this club just has about 5 members or so and we do not care if any more join.
See I know some people like to have fun, and consider us crazy because we do not just like to do stuff the normal way. We want to make it harder and in that form more fun. The people who post this is stupid do not abviously realize the irony in calling this stupid.
Ok I will explain this to you thicker people. You call this stupid and pointless, but you took your time to do something stupid and pointless therefore any one who has posted here a "this is stupid" spam is just proving what they really are.
Now just go away if you do not like it, we do not impose this on any of you and you posting here makes you impose it on yourself.

"I've heard it said before:"Nothing good can come from being with normal people."

Such is the stuff of genius.

On a lighter note, It was suggested that we post here whenever a member gets a "final blam." I got my 4th 2 days ago and neglected to post. Yay for me.

And always remember...

Oh, one more thing. We have a website, created by none other than the great Burner1515 himself. You can visit it (if you are interested, that is) at http://www.freewebs.com/burntmedia/index.htm ,or you can just click on my sig or Burner's sig.

What if two club members claim that they were the final blam on one movie? (the first just SAYING that he blammed it, and the second actually blammed it and is reporting that he did) who would you believe?

Dammit...he found a fluke...ummmm....I really don't know what I'd do in that situation...this is mostly on the "honor system"(which, as i've said before, the human race has proved to be a VERY inefficient system), so I don't know...but by asking which movie they blammed, we at least deter SOME dishonesty. I really don't know though...any ideas on how to fix this, Burner? Brainy?

Yeah... during the old system this would be easy to track because it would only count the LAST vote blam... but now you kind of have to trust someone...

recreating the importance of the FB well good luck with it, but i think only tom, wade or liljim can do that

hmmm...good point...maybe we should change the name to "Satanic Cult Members Who Wear Trenchcoats and Randomly Blam Crappy Movies"...I don't know, BLAMsnipers has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

I guess he's saying that just because we're in this club means we DON'T have a life. When I said my life revolved around getting the final blam, I was using a literary device known as HYPERBOLE, which, by definition means a GROSS EXAGGERATION. By saying that, I meant that I enjoy it when I get a FB, but I will not stay up all night watching the portal just to get one...sheesh. Everyone takes everything literally in the BBS nowadays...

Response to BLAMsnipers: Revised and Revisited Mar 6, 2003


Ok...I figured I'd better do this, lest someone feel forgotten or left out....Here's a list of current members:

1.sparky64
2.Burner1515
3.bigmanbrainy
4.Pimpin_Car_Lover
5.rageclock
6.LRN

If you cared to notice, we haven't made super-special,overqualified, really long, drawn-out titles for ourselves. We thought about it, but nothing really ever came of it, and it's not that really important to me, but if the other members want to do so, I won't stop you guys.

Also, you can see that we have a very small amount of members, unlike the BLAM Club and some others. I do not mind this, as it maintains a more personal relationship between members. Yes, we are few, but if you're a member of a club with 100+ members,can you honestly tell me that you know each and every one of them?

With that thought in mind, I leave you with something I just thought up:

"Some say that there is safety in numbers. I say that it just makes for a bigger target to hit."

The only thing we can do about this would be to ask liljim if there is a way to know....I think it would be a good idea if I/we asked if there would be a possablility to puit a "Gravedigger" in the obituaries.
Granted this would not work for the old movies, but in that case we could start over with our FB's at 0 or keep it for the hell of it. Then all we would need is to have the url posted here and make sure that person is the "Gravedigger".
Hey this is the best thing I can think of other then asking for a screen shot witch does not actually show the name of the movie (and could be faked, but faking something like this would be sad because it is for fun.). Then I/we could ask if on the FB screen they show the movie name and/0r author name, but the author could give the same submissions so a date would be needed. The date thing can be remedied with a link to the obituaries so I do not really think that would be a problem. The problem is asking/persuading to get it done.

Sorry about podting late and not as often. I have been preoccupied with tests at my school (along with other things.).

Response to BLAMsnipers: Revised and Revisited Mar 6, 2003


This club is being shut down. We didn't change the whole voting system to have some group of morons come along and try and get everyone to go back to the old means of trying to be the one to cast the vote that gets something "BLAMMED". We want users to vote ASAP. Not hold off their vote waiting to try and get the blam. If to many people do this crap movies will stay on the portal list longer and may even fall off the list without being blammed! The next person to prose this idea will be banned. There is no rewared for being the user who casts the vote that gets something blammed.
