Scout the person above you.

Fitzy

Strengths: He posts virtually anywhere and greatly contributes to the activity of the forums.

Weakness: His custom title. But somehow I find his custom title good. Some love for the retired guy.

Outlook: He will continue to be Ron Mercer's fan.

Lean

Strengths: Insane patches for Live, makes a very sexy constipation face (see picture thread).

Weaknesses: Don't really know, pretty much a well-rounded poster around here, although I don't seem to see that many of your posts.

Outlook: An accomplished poster already, but could always step it up a notch.

Its asdf

Strengths: Continues to churn out great dynasties. Doesnt seem to step into the fray of pointless posting that goes on at times on this forum. Consistently provides useful comments

Weaknesses: Leaves his fans hanging by not updating his dynasty frequently enough

Outlook: Will continue to be one of the more respected Dynasty posters, could be destined for stardom with more fequent updates

Mark

I might be drunk, or 3/5 of the way there, but I couldn't ask for a better guy to give props to....

Strengths: He's a Kiwi....not just a Kiwi, but a Cantabrian....he might be from Ashburton, but he's a top block nonetheless....on a serious path, he's smart, he provides well-formed arguments....he's got strength in conviction....he's a Kiwi true & true....probably the sort of bloke that any other bloke would be happy to have as a mate....also the maker of some of the great dynasty stories of All-Time, & I do not say that lightly....good work Mark

Weaknesses: He's from Ashburton....haha, j/k....it's not like you're from Greymouth or Hokitikia, that would be bad....I've met good people from Ashvegas....only other weakness might be that he doesn't grace the boards enough anymore....for that, I blame alcohol (hopefully not Speights, as Mark should know, "Drink Speights, lose mates"....other reason is terrible NBA Live, & I mean terrible, this guy is dynasty guru & EA lets him down, very disappointing)....


only other thing I could hope for is an All Blacks' win tomorrow morning to avenge 1999....

can't believe I got through this post with mostly error free posting....lots of back spaces though, top effort though....

enjoy

The X

Strengths: A good overall poster, fun to talk to. Has been around here for some time now . Is experienced in many departments. No stranger to internet and social life either. A console man, prefers the ps3 since its region code free. Great dynaster, always read his dynasty's.

Weaknesses: Name is kinda confusing, still cool though. Might not be around as much do to the social life he lives.

Outlook: Reached his potential, would be cool if he'd post more as a veteran that he is .

Pera

Strengths: youth, has lots of potential because of his youth

Weaknesses: still very raw

Outlook: good.

I did this quick so i could get scouted

Jugs.

Strengths: Was once upon a time a regular, quite funny without trying to be funny. Sort of the dork you just keep around to have something to laugh at. Provided good amusement.

Weaknesses: He's basically become Old School Fool now. Just as annoying, just as pointless and just as forced.

Outlook: Could go both ways, probably stick around and do what he does...or disappear again. Regardless, as of now my opinion is that he tries way too hard and it's become so annoying that I actually call him OSF Part II. That my friends, is not a compliment.

Jackal

Strenghts: Can make anybody look stupid. Sarcasm is totally a 99. Has an avatar, and used to have a sig, that made me think he was from Barbados and made me want to vacation.

Weaknesses: Sarcasm sometimes gets stuck in the "on" position... heh heh. His former sig and current avatar make me feel sad because I live near Seattle so it rains a lot and Jackal is always in the nice weather, enjoying the sun, sipping a margarita.

outlook: Will continue to thrive for many, many years only gaining more and more wiseness and more and more ability to manipulate others and their pathetic situations.

Silas

Strengths: Amuses me a good bit, brings up points other people havent thought of quite often. decent poster

Weaknesses: a man love for kyle korver

Outlook: if he ever changes his avatar, may be considered a great poster, only time will tell

Illini

Strengths: Kick ass avatar. Simple but effective. Great discussion by discussion commentary.

Weaknesses: Represents a god-awful state.

Outlook: Could rise to the top and be a steal. Look out for this kid in the next few months because he will be given a chance to shine on this struggling discussion forum. He will either step up and hit that ball out of the park or strike out swinging!

Outlook: if he ever changes his avatar, may be considered a great poster, only time will tell

I'll never change my avatar! It has been this way for years, and will remain this way for years!

Riot

Strengths: Knowledgeable, adamant about what he believes in; frequently is the cause of rousing, often heated debates in the political spectrum among other things. Frequently backs his arguments with facts, figures, and the like.

Weaknesses: Occasionally falls victim to blinders towards opinions differing from his own, and refusal to budge on a number of issues regardless of the quantity or quality of contrary arguments presented; though, don't we all from time to time?

Outlook: Chances are he'll take a bullet for his country, so don't spend too high a pick on him.

bigh0rt

Strengths: A fellow math teacher, Hort creates kick ass patches. I especially liked the SUM rosters. A fellow aficianado of statistics.

Weaknesses: Doesn't post nearly often enough in the general sections.

Outlook: Assuming he brings himself to post at the south end of the forum index more often, the outlook is positive for us all.

Bighort

Strengths: Sum mod member. Makes crappy games worth taking a second look at. Great one-liners. Especially when closing topics. Kickass Sig.


Weaknesses - Nazi Moderator. Casts a big shadow. You dont want to be the person that posts after him. Wait, *shit!*


Outlook: Will continue his never ending diligence in making a Live a game worth paying to play. First ballot HOF'er.

edit - damn you!!! lol

Christopherson

Strengths - Knows his sh*t. Makes solid, intelligent points when in discussion, over a large area of topics. We see eye to eye on a fair amount. Ava is kinda intriguing.

Weaknesses - Always beats me to the punch.


Outlook - Is mod material, reminds me of andrew a bit in his diplomatic approach to things.

Maceo/Patrick Fiasco

Strengths: Obviously a smart guy, funny, knows his stuff when it comes to basketball. Arguably the best name in the history of western civilisation.[/bill walton]

Weaknesses: Thinks OJ Mayo shouldn't go top 5 (-28423 points). Doesn't post enough.

Outlook: I think he's one of the best posters on the forum, but I never even knew he existed till a handful of months ago. That means - post more.

Shannon

Strengths: Smart poster, and a regular one. Good knowledge of NBA, and for a while he always, always, always seem to be the first one to post transactions .

Weaknesses: Not too much that I know of, but can be stubborn at times. Loses his math skills during bad days.

Outlook: Could be one of the best posters and could also be a future mod.

JT_55

Strengths: He posts with sense.

Weaknesses: No avatar.

Outlook: With more post counts he and Jackal can accompany each other.

oh that sucks balls being OSF II

Weaknesses: Thinks OJ Mayo shouldn't go top 5 (-28423 points). Doesn't post enough.

Lean.

Strengths: Is an amazing jersey patcher. I dunno where he finds the will to patch a game like live 07, but hell what the man does is downright great, Is one of few Filipinos I can actually stand.

Weaknesses: I don't think he posts enough in the general section or it could just be me .

Outlook: Needs to post more,everything else is fine .

Pera

Strengths: Used to always have a hot chick for an avatar. Isn't 12 years old anymore.

Weaknesses: Doesn't get a fair shake because people constantly give him crap for being young, even though he is proabably older now than those who make fun of him were when they joined.

Outlook: He will keep getting older.

Christopherson

Strengths: A no-nonsense intelligent poster that backs his statements up. A solid outdoor hunter. Republican.

Weaknesses: Doesn't post enough. Appears to lack a sense of humor most of the time. Republican.

Outlook: Will smile and post more often. Future Democrat.

Outlook: He will keep getting older.

Worst outlook scouting in this thread, imo.

cyanide

Strengths: Takes no crap from nobody. Knowledgeable. Posts are enjoyable to read whether one likes it or not.

Weaknesses: Borderline psycho. Used to have sig of the chopped up bloody heads of Bosh and Bargnani.
Used to have a retarded sig of Bosh as a velociraptor.
Supports a team that has one of the stupid playoff publicity campaign in recent memory - The Red Army.

Outlook: Prison. After robbing a store of a xbox360.

Shadowgrin

Strengths: "Disco Stu likes Disco music" By far the best avatar on the forums, can say in a few lines what it may take other people several posts to get across, even with a simple emoticon....never fails to crack me up on a consistent basis. Also one of the few, the proud, the ones that dont give pinoys a bad name. An expert flamer and Also has plenty of e-love for all the posters worthy. My vote for the Naismith Award of the NLSC.

Weaknesses: tends to stay out of serious discussion unless its for color commentary. Temporarily had a lapse of judgement making him think Kool Moe Dee was a good username. perhaps he was coerced by higher powers, the world may never know

Outlook: The great great posts will continue. It will be a sad day when this guy leaves the game.

Outlook: He will keep getting older.

Haha . That cracked me up. Who doesn't get older?

And about the avatar. It was Jessica Alba. I have saved the pm's I got asking who is that girl. I might post them later in the day for some laughs.
