NEW ROBOT COMBAT SHOW COMING TO DISCOVERY CHANNEL

[Badnik96]

Sounds pretty dumb actually.

[GoldenFox93]

Hm. So let me guess...if he ever becomes a supervillain, would the Robot Combat wikis and the lesser-known robots be his first targets?     

[Mr. AS]

It's not just RWW, it's Battlebots and Robotica wiki's too.  Something about having detailed information on lesser known competitors rubs them the wrong way.

so he wants wikis to have less content to read ?
thats... really stupid

[Natef]

That may be, but his initial reaction was so hostile that I assumed he just wanted to blow off steam.  Long story short we did eff up, but we eventually made it right, and he still calls the practice of wiki-making a "fanboy" thing; I really have no idea where we stand.  We stopped asking trivia questions when he said he wasn't fielding them anymore, you can see that all of the recent ones are questions that could be answered by a page on the wiki. 


More to the point,  my problems weren't about anything he said to me directly, but about the way he gives snarky responses, and then gets gobsmacked when he receives them (which he could just choose to delete from the inbox).


ANYways, that's enough digressing, I apologize for the tangent.  To make it up, here's something I found when I searched "cameron robot" http://www.discoverychannel.ca/Article.aspx?aid=34910  It looks like there won't be a combat element after all but the robotics stuff is pretty cool.

Do you have what he exactly said in context?

Here's the best part.  His hobby is maintaining the Wikipedia page "List of Celebrities on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."  Not researching mind you, just reverting edits when someone adds a false star, or adds a star that has been announced but not yet installed.  But oh no, we're the ones with the frivolous obsession.

How do you know that?

I learn something new every day- it does indeed seem quite ridiculous and hypocritical to me, and this is coming from the British Idiot with the Cassius II obsession! Mind you though, if there's anyone whom I think needs a star on there, it's Cookie Monster.

We should all ask him questions about qualifiers to piss him off.

which wiki is this on? i can do some massive trolling.

[Resetti's Replicas]

How do you know that?

His username on Wikipedia is Joerger and his signature is "Run Amok."  The only other page he edits is the Robot Wars page on Wikipedia.  I think it's a fair assumption.


@freez, this is what you want, http://members.toast.net/joerger/AskAaron.html

[MassimoV]

Yeah don't go to a wiki.

Yes, but the question was "Should I build it but I'm not going to build it..."

[Sparkey98]

That site is not a 100% credible source. It's very opinionated and biased and has been wrong in the past. Discovery said the event is going to happen, and yes someone from battlebots is directly involved in this.

Wait, when was it biased?

Aaron Jorger, Head of the department of knowing all there is to know, enters competition with a lawnmower covered in aluminum. Becomes god.

run amok/

Exactly my point. Run amok wasn't a combat robot, it was an RC car.

[Gropaga]

ok this thread is turning to aaron thread
badnik do you agree to turn this thread to aaron thread

[RunAmok]

Very amusing thread - if you're 12 years old and severely socially impaired. May I remind you:

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law.

I'd say the thread has violated at least half a dozen of those restrictions.

FYI - I have no problem with Wikis as long as they don't steal from me. Ask Sonny to tell you the details about how the Robot Wars Wiki screwed up and how many YEARS it took them to 'make it right'.

[ty4er]

oh how ironic

also how has that violated any of those

[powerrave]

50 says he's just butthurt and is now trying to get his petty and meaningless revenge or whatever.

[ty4er]

i bet it's someone multi-accounting because
