The poll you always feared but never expected to come: abolishing postcounts

If Ming was Zeus, Alexander's Horse would make a good Hera...

AH will make deity in 46 days.
PH will make deity in 54 days.

However, this relies on AH making 0.87 posts each day, which seems unlikely, though he does seem to be creeping the last 100 posts very slowly.

I think there is something wrong with your math

[Provost Harrison]

Nah AH, it calculates your average post count back to 1970, so this is why you have such a low average count. Now OT posts don't count it will be a lot slower hike for me to get there. I am getting there slowly but surely, but it'll take months, I just don't post on-topic a lot; I doubt it is possible to post on-topic as much, although you are putting on a damn good example AH

Now are you going to do a Mao and disappear?

[Immortal Wombat]

Yeah, that was using the profile calculations. I see it took you less than my estimated time.
We should do predictions of how long before he "does a Mao"...

[Alexander's Horse]

"does a Ming?"

You mean become an enemy of fun?

[Immortal Wombat]

Oops, I said Mao, really I did. I know exactly what I'm talking about, ha ha

Get above 10,000 then get a PCR and become an emperor again.

Something tells me that IW got an edit in there

Congrats AH... at least you post on topic.

[Provost Harrison]

AH, you really need a custom avatar that is true to your stature...a Shetland pony perhaps

Ya old nag!

You forgot the demi-gods - of which I am already one.

The greeks do not worship plough horses like you, old boy!

Shows how little you know. The ancient Greeks believed that horses were intimately linked to the Gods and to human fertility.

[Chris 62]

A horse is a horse of course of course

Perhaps you need glasses, my now god-like friend.

I said plough horses like you, not that they didn't worship horses.

See? Says it right in the quote.

[Alexander's Horse]

Keep going Stavros

Obviously you've never heard of ploughing ceremonies, which are actually fertility rites

[Chris 62]

When you say Stavros, that's actually Steve.

I'm Chris.

Remember the old "Kojak" show, when telly would call his brother "Stavros"?
