What is your score?

Thursday, August 9, 2001 by MadIce | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I am interested in how high your scores are.

I figure that I was a real nerd, but I only scored 25.60%. Who is the biggest nerd on WinCustomize?

58.20%
Ok this is pretty bad, but what is worse is that I think anyone that reads through the entire test and takes it, should automatically have above a score of 50%

That causes some people to have a score over 100 %. Now, I don't know how to interpret that

33.6% attempted as many US-centric questions as possible, but as above, it is a bit skewed cos of that I guess....

Thank You, thank you! Wow. this is such an honor. To be recognized as the least "nerdiest" person, well, it's just amazing. It's been hard work, really hard work. I have spent the past 6 years fighting the "nerd" influences at Stardock. It really paid off. I'd like to thank:

1)My mom and Dad
2)My husband
3)My daughter
4)Tequila
5)My pet rock
6)Sophie, the moody Tektronix printer.....

KarmaGirl, the fight ain't over, althought your position is unchallenged yet. Uhm, I believe the part of the Tequilla, but what about the part of naming your Tektronix printer Sophie? Isn't that an odd name for a printer?

We have 6 new entries. Bananafactor slips in at #35, fearoffours claimed #24, Frogboy's wife surprises us at #16 (beats Elfmaiden holding #22), Dangeruss rushes to #14, edsatori enters at #8 and MobiusCo conquered the #5 position. Mind you the struggle to come in the top 5 is hard. Just 3.80 % difference with the Reaper (#6) and a minuscule 0.20 % with migellito at #4. Sure is hard to beat likw1d and Frogboy, but we already saw that DHendrinx (an unknown talent at #3) is able to catch up with the Super Nerds.

Scores at the moment:
1) likw1d 74.20 % (EFnet #Stardock)
1) Frogboy 74.20 % (EFnet #Stardock)

damn I am only in 5th I guess I need to read up on star trek, hit a few conventions, and buy a couple dozen pocket protectors...On the other hand I like having a little sex appeal...
and no this is not putting down the people with higher scores.

Hey now, you can have sex appeal and get a high score. I'm married, have kids, and had girlfriends throughout highschool and college.

What killed me was the Star Trek stuff, the magazines, and globes (Yes, I have a globe, it lights up, it has the mountains, etc.). And of course my main job is writing computer games which I do inbetween getting into flame wars on Usenet.

And I realized this morning that I should have scored that the last naked female was on the computer -- I was moderating wallpapers here and someone had uploaded a naked female. So that's technially a 74.40 I should have gotten.

Hey Brad, you get into flame wars on Usenet? Oh, can I, can I? What newsgroup?
! Just kidding. Don't worry.

Hehehe, not to me since I always read Tintin in French, and his name is Professeur Tournesol.

Oh and brad, I'd love to read you get involved in a flame war!! Which kind of warrior are you? The essvid kind, the bakerstreet kind, or more my kind? Do you enjoy provoking just to get reactions going (essvid) or do you pick a cause and defend it to death (that's more the paxx kind)... do tell, do tell...

Remember that flame war post? I'm the guy who just wears the other guy down with constant stats, figures, etc.
