Scout the person above you.

[J@3]

We had a "what do you know about the person above you" which was complete garbage because people spammed and only wanted to hear about themselves due to the fact that 90% of the NLSC are egomaniacs who crave acceptance. Anyway, this is different. You have to post a scouting report on the person who posted above you, I will demonstrate. Please try not to turn this into "the person above me has 1,340 posts".

COOLmac

Strengths: Is extremely stealth as he has to be to prey on young children. Is also a computer expert, well known for his ability to do nothing but format harddrives everytime there is a problem.

Weaknesses: General intelligence, lacks the ability to construct sentences and fully form his own thoughts. The above mentioned like for young children will hinder his progress as he will most likely end up in jail.

Outlook: Will never return. Most likely will end up living in a small flat with Filip and the newly divorced Dweaver.

[Jackal]

Jae.

Strengths: Smelling bullshit a mile away. The knack of picking up posters that will eventually be headed for the chamber of ban-nation. Active during most of the day (and night, you freak). Outspoken and funny.

Weaknesses: Tends to let an eventual loser slide here & there (Legend, Jackal, Dweaver), to some may come off as crude and impatient.

Outlook: Outlook doesn't get much better than this prospect. He's fulfilled a lot of his potential and keeps proving detractors wrong with innovative idea's which help liven up the place and make others want to keep visiting. Tact could use some polishing up, perhaps that long range jumper too...

NBA Comparison: Yinka Dare.

[---]

Jackal

Strengths: Witty and funny, seems to be really knowledgeable on so many different things. When you see someone post something that deserves a slap in the face, check to see if Jackal's online first. If he is, step back and let the man do his job.

Weaknesses: I don't know if this is a weakness, but when I first came here I thought you were an asshole. It just seemed that you weren't welcoming at all. However, after a while I understood why. Now I barely visit the Live General sections.

Outlook: Like a superstar college player that decided to play all 4 years - his potential may not be as untapped as a high school phenom making the jump to the league, but you know what you're getting with him.

NBA Comparison: Shaquille O'Neal

[Pera]

Shannon

Strengths: Enjoys talking about worthy and respectable topics. Doesn't spam the boards and doesn't post unnecessary posts. He keeps his cool most of the time. Treats you with respect even if you are low on post count and doesn't rely on name calling.

Weaknesses: Spends his time lurking on eBay trying to get a good deal out of thing. Sometimes over pushes a point even it isn't quite right.

Outlook: Has potential to go places, but he needs to get his life in shape first.

NBA Comparison: Ron Artest

[shadowgrin]

Pera

Strengths: Decent poster. Versatile. Can handle serious and light discussions without disrupting the topic.
Runs like a deer.
Great range.

Weakness: Inconsistent. Posts here and there at times. Almost invisible at NBA Talk section.
Will not win at a track meet.
Shoots bricks.

Outlook: Has potential to be great contributor to the forums, if only he will post more, and make an appearance at NBA Talk section.

NBA Comparison: Lamar Odom

(Yes, some of those scouting reports are taken from NBA Live. Both of those contradictory reports are just assigned to one rookie. Silly Live.)

[benji]

shadow

Strengths: Darn hot. Great length and hardness. If brains were a fishing pond, I would sink my rod in him.

Weaknesses: Too attractive, distracts me at times. Thinks Tim Duncan's greatness is a product of the system. If brains were a hotel minibar, I would pay too much for a taste of his nuts.

Outlook: Naked, on my bed. It will be like Gilmore Girls, but with more tongue.

NBA Comparison: John Amaechi.

[kevC]

Benji

Strengths: Knows about everything and anything. Knows that Korea is not an Asian country. Is old enough to buy me drinks in the States but not old enough to be gross when we do the nasty. Uses hard objective data when analyzing basketball but uses soft hands in bed.

Weaknesses: Can come off as a jerkface poopyhead at times when he's frustrated with man idiots of these forums.

Outlook: Will stay cool 4eva! Benji is -
2 cool
+2 be
-----------
4 gotten!

NBA Comparison: Daryl Morey + Darko Milicic = Darylko Moricic?

[Jackal]

Ya'll some motherfuckin nerds man.

[Sauru]

this will actually be pretty cool if it stays serious


edit: serious with humor, not just 1 huge joke

[cyanide]

KevC

Strengths: Gives benji hot Korean man love. Very intelligent with good humor. Likes Yao Ming and I believe, also attends Rice University.

Weaknesses: Appears Asian, but Asian he is not. Has difficulty convincing people that he is Korean, and not Asian as he appears to be.

Outlook: Will have to change role model from Yao Ming to Kim Jong Il, and leave Rice University to finally convince people that he is in fact Korean.

NBA Comparison: Yao Ming, but picture him Korean.

[J@3]

Cyanide

Strengths: Grammar, spelling, appears culturally enlightened and possesses various forum powers.

Weaknesses: Name is easily mocked (you have to admit, Cryanide was quite good), clearly has advert-spammer urges from time to time.

Outlook: Continues to be a moderator, may never get his Xbox 360.

[Pera]

Jae

Strengths: Admin, hilarious , isn't afraid to speak up his negative opinion , respected.

Weaknesses: Can abuse given powers, an asshole when he wants to be, doesn't sleep very much.

Outlook: He is the Scottie Pippen of Michael Jordan - Andrew of this forum. The only question that remains.. Will he get more than six rings ?

[BigKaboom2]

Lawl, my post was deleted but not Sauru's or Jackal's. Fun stuff.

[BOSS]

Haha nice idea.
I'll do one in a bit.

[Doobie]

Sam...

Strengths... The asian sensation who happens to hang out with only asian people. Friendly poster

Weakness.... Tends to go on slides where he doesn't post and I sometimes even forget what happened to him.

Outlook.... Inconsistent poster, but now a days who isn't

Boobiedicks ...

Strengths : The Hispanic*of the NLSC.
He lives for NLSC and a nice kid who talks about his Sidekick.
Was part of the NLSC Triads with me I think ( Syndicate thing remember ) Aha.

Weaknesses : Likes to take pics of himself in the tub and posts it up.

Outlook : Veteran of NLSC who will be around for a long ass time. Eduardo Najera.

* Correct me if i'm wrong man.

[J@3]

Sam

Strengths: Seems like a nice guy, has improved quite alot as a poster from when he first joined and is really laid back.

Weaknesses: Types in the smallest fucking font he can find which makes it near impossible for me to read every single time he posts

Outlook: Blindness, for me

[BigKaboom2]

So did someone actually delete my post or am I hallucinating? Please - humor me.

EDIT: Yeah, yeah I saw that coming - but is the new NLSC era to be marked by persecution of those who do not support homosexuality as the primary fodder for humor among teenage-early 20's heterosexual males?

EDIT: And is it paranoia.....or vigilance? You be the judge.

EDIT: And if this moderating career ever took off, would I be required to persecute those who do not support homosexuality as the primary fodder for humor among teenage-early 20's heterosexual males?

EDIT: What's the outlook on how many times I'm going to edit this?

EDIT: Your post was deleted because it had absolutely nothing to do with the original topic, was not a scouting report nor was it going to ever be a scouting report. I don't care what your views on homosexual humour are nor does anyone else.

[J@3]

BigKaboom2

Strengths: Is literate, has been a member for a long time.

Weaknesses: Paranoia apparentely.

Outlook: A moderating career in the future, who knows?

[benji]

Jae

Strengths: Flexible enough to seemlessly swap between the operations and command divisions midway through career. Often on duty during major events. Was piloting the ship well before...

Weaknesses: was hit by debris, requiring Deanna Troi to take the conn. Often keeps in the background, does not seem like a major character, sorta more like an extra.

Outlook: If hilarity were a bookcase, I would screw him against a wall.

[Dean]

Benji:

Strengths: Using numbers and statistics to win each and every argument he has ever been in; Extensive basketball knowledge; Veteran member of the forums

Weaknesses: Fails to see Hinrich is one of the better point guard defenders in the league

Outlook: Possible hall of famer?

[Oznogrd]

Dean
strengths: for a kid, decent taste in music, not afraid to ask questions or fear looking dumb, an undervalued trait on this board

weaknesses: blasphemed the name of the Stone Temple Pilots

Outlook: give him a few years, and i'd have a beer with him

[Gundy]

illini

Strengths: Very intelligent. Sticks up for what he believes and isn't afraid to go against others. Good sense of humor. Knowledgeable and rational.

Weaknesses: His avatar hurts my eyes. Should post more often.
