Well, for Hindemithians, this may seem peculiar, but we have a long standing tradition on Gustin of occasionally declaring the Forum Hero on the boards.
The entire process is operated by me, and I am always completely fair. There are no nominees, but it's usually pretty obvious who will win. Once it is declared for the month, it cannot be rescinded.
It comes with many great skills (like thread UD, Holy AlyraUnlock, Teflon Abusahol, etc.)
A hero has not been determined yet for July, so I'm watching you.
I know it says no nominations, but if this was a gustin-only tradition there is only one choice now that hindemith-ers are included. *cough* have you SEEN Elro's post count? lol
Ah. Well Elro's post count has been noted. Forum Hero however is really based on a months worth of work. His accomplishments, if we want to call them that, are really more along the lines of a Lifetime Achievement Award or a Hall of Fame induction within the Gustin/Hindemith Forums Hall of Fame.

i nominate myself under the proof that i created the Penix you play on.
Choc, you say no nominations, but forum hero is about breaking the rules and surviving to tell the tale, therefore, I would like to nominate MayaTheBee who already nominated him/herself!
Some say that the outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Cruma Marshlands, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for elpys.
Some say his first name really is "sir", and he boxes 3 toons just to hear himself talk.
Some say he can't be killed because he is never seen outside of town, and he once hit a-grade by depriving all the monsters in aden of oxygen at once.

All we know is.. He's called Elrohir.
I heard he has a piece of celery in place of one of his hands, and Patrick Duffy for a leg... :)
I hear if you say his name 3 times backwards your OE will DEFINITELY fail, and he was banned from Light Elf Village while recruiting for a "barely D-grade" video.
I'm still lolling a bit the South Park reference, and I don't actually disagree with Lv1 about Romanova almost qualifying just on the basis of the avatar.
However...the forum hero selection process does not require all this input. When I wrote the manual, I used the words "capricious and arbitrary" as part of the description.
I appreciate your desire to "help" or influence, however most likely (as it happens every month we have a forum hero), it will be evident to me on July 30th who has the most forum points. And I will then make it evident to you. And that person will have the pleasure of typing in blue text all month, as well as many other benefits and skills. (the Enemy Thread Cancel Stick and Lame Post UD being two more examples).
Furthermore-- Mi bik sikret is NOT My Big Secret in Swedish and I accuse you of being a DANE or a Nufi!

Shhh.. don't give me a big head. ^^ It happens when I go fishing and I have a hard time navigating doorways for hours.
I see my efforts to create an aura of mystique around Elro have failed... and scared Taz. ^^;; wups
Edit: Now I noticed why you haven't had much success in this!
This competition is held on 'medium' level so it means the solos and all are out of pace for us who are used to expert!
Tomorrow is last day, go learn to play out of synch xD
Choc, now raising the level of this competition to expert.
I still have not nailed Thru the fire and flames on expert but with the hero starpower I might!
Actually, Venaja, you have been something of a standout this last week or so, and are clearly in the thick of it.
I won't click on the link however, as there have been many Rick Rolls lately and I'm just too cagey for that. The muppet one got me good, so I'm cautious at the moment.
How it actually went down--July 23, 2005--Location: Choc's Brain:
Ego: "Choc, what if you liked that Rick Astley song?"
Id: "But, I don't. He sucks."
Ego: "Well, if you did, and someone sent you unexpectedly to a link of that song, would you feel manipulated?"
Id: "Yes. If you told me I was going to a Mariah Carey 'concert' and it turned out to be NRBQ or Red Hot Chili Peppers, I would have been lied to. I'd be pleased though. But still angry about the lie."
Ego: "So you think that if a tree fell in the forest, and noone was around, there would still be sound?"
Id: "...duh. Sorry. Empirically, yes. There would be no-one to hear it perhaps. No one human anyway.
Ego: "ok, fair enough. But you're saying it's impossible for Rick Astley to sing, and there be a total absence of vomiting?"
I wonder if Alyra heard about all the history when she took this job, lol.
I did. :) And honestly, I'm fond of this group, but you do have a tendency to get me in trouble. :p I don't mind everyone getting a little crazy, having fun, and goofing off, but I have to do my job too.
LOL. I don't remember, but I think it was Mistryl because she didn't ban me, and you were all like 'I'm a bigger forum boss than you Choc!" and I was all like "I think not, kid" and yoiu were like "spam, spammity, spam, spam SPAM" and Mistryl was all like "o noes u dit-nt" and then she banned you.

Quit stealing my screenplay ideas!!! :mad:
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, sweetheart.
ML got totally out of hand. Even he would admit that he deserved it, however he still doesn't understand how I got him blocked without getting it myself. (my little secret)
As for the 'Banhammer six pack,' I can only say that a few folks that had migrated to Teon (Syn folks) got a bit, um, overaggressive/foul-mouthed and Alyra linked the accounts that were involved, and blew several forum accounts away.
Very effective.
Other than that, she's been very flexible about allowing things that are at least halfway justifiable. She also scored big points by sharing her ink. Made her one of us, instead of our babysitter.
