[MoC] A random competition - Results
Patrick O'leary
Aaaand I'm back. I know you all missed me.
Shut up
I received 4 responses, and learned that some of my answers were wrong in the process. I guess the answer of 'who is the smartest person in eIreland' is not me.
Without further ado, here are the answers.
[u[Questions[/u]
1) What is the process where natural gas is extracted from shale called?
Fracking (everyone got this one right)
2) Why do historians think we decorate our homes with Pine trees at Christmas time?
The trees all started to lose their leaves around this time, so the people thought that by bringing an evergreen tree that didn't lose theirs they would promote health in the home. This was a hard one. I decided not to take any points away if you didn't put what I thought the answer was.
3) How many NFL (American Football) teams have never won the Stanley Cup?
All of them (32). The Stanley Cup is for Hockey
4) What do the initials BMW (the cars) stand for?
Something in German that I don't know how to spell. In English, Bavarian Motor Works
5) How far would you have to travel up in order to get into the next level of our atmosphere?
We are currently in the troposphere. The stratosphere is ~12 km above us.
6) Is the potato native to Ireland?
No, it's South American
7) What does RAM stand for?
Random Access Memory
8 ) Why do we call the entrance to a home a 'threshold'?
Apparently what I've been taught was wrong. Free points for everyone!
9) What does TARDIS stand for?
Time And Relative Dimensions In Space
10) What was Mark Twain's real name?
Samuel L. Clemens
11) What does it mean if a painting is described as a 'fresco'?
It's painted on plaster
12) What nationality was St. Patrick?
He was born in Roman Britain, and one Native Irishman pointed out he was specifically born in Wales.
13) What kind of instrument is a bodhran?
It's a drum
14) What kind of meat is in a 'traditional' Irish stew?
Mutton
15) What causes the four seasons?
The tilt of the earth

Stay tuned for the next competition, once I finish all of my finals. (Probably Tuesday night)
Have an excellent couple of days eIreland, and remember to stay classy!

I almost gave it a hollly vote but did not want Patrick to get presumptuous

Xmas is when we celebrate Professor Xavier and his X-men
Thanks Patrick. Nice competition. Keep up the good work.
You see Colby?
You see how an actual minister of actual community run this ministry?
Did you learn something?
All you did was abusing irish citizens, banning them from participation, framing voting results...every bloody time you had any kind of voting...
I can only hope people like patrick can remedy the damage you did as MoC when you obeyed Ian E Coleman and destroyed one thing that made MoC above all....it's neutrality and a place of true community.
It took years to built such reputation..and you destroyed it within days...
Obeyed Ian E Coleman? Now what did Ian do? I thought I was supposed to have banned Krakken on Seanans' orders? Get your lies straight or no one will believe them. Wait, no one believes them anyways.
Oh and I said it was a good competition. I actually got to participate for a change. Patrick has my full support.
Did i said Seanan?
Noo...
But it was Seanan who joined your abuse of Krakken when he denied him a wepps during the fight night even KRakken respected procedure and deserved those wepps as any other irish citizen who actually got it.
And yes....Seanan did that in the same term as yours and you both got orders from Ian E Coleman who was CP at the time....
So you keep your lies straight Colby...especially after your last scam when you tried to frame results from king of community competition against krakken so your ordo buddy paddy could illegally win....even krakken had few hundred point more then paddy.
And you even had no decedncy to apologise for it and you like a coward let bean&teddy to take a fall.
But then you have always been a coward Colby....even from libertad times...
Hahahahaha. You have been going on and on for months about how Seanan banned Krakken. Now it is Ians' fault? Too funny. I already told you what happened but since when does the truth matter. It has never gotten in your way for sure.
Correction it was you and Seanan each in your own "respectable" ministries.
And did i mentioned every time You both obeyed Ian E Coleman's orders to abuse an irish citizen?
No i did not...depending on situations i was reminding irish people about your filthy abuse of position.
Thing is....Ian might be a moral bottom who gave that order but it was you two who executed that order....
And that makes you a little bit worst then Ian....
But to quit your bitching i will make sure i mention all three of you in every future reminder of your disgusting acts against a loyal irish citizen and member of divine order of Clerics who with great courage openly speaks against corruption in Ireland.
lol You know very well that I did not ban Krakken. Go on. Check with him. Ask him how many contests I ran that he entered. None. I then invited him to judge a music contest. Go on. Ask him. Check the timeline by going back through my articles. You will find he was not banned and he was part of running a contest.
Does not sound like someone who was banned to me.
When you find out the answer I am sure your silence will tell all.
That is truth....you did start remedy your crimes in your second term after you spent entire first term banning him.
Remember i spent all that month asking you about your banning of KRakken and you refuse to answer which proved your guilt.
But then you banned KRakken from nominations for the article of the month.
If my nomination was "against your rules" then you would let me know that after i sent you PM with nomination.
But like usual you cowardly kept silent and let me believe all is in order until you just said krakken was removed from competition after time for nomination ended.
And you even had nerve to say krakken was banned from that competition coz i nominated him for serial of articles under same title instead one single article....
Coz....You...let...Seanan...run...in...the...same...category.....with...his....SERIAL OF ARTICLES WITH THE SAME TITLE...
And the best thing with this scam you let Seanan run alone for the article of the month......
And then, let's repeat, your disgusting voting scam with king of community competition when you stole hundreds of points Krakken won so your ordo buddy takes the win illegally.
And as Coward as you are you let poor co-minister bean&teddy to apologize for that "mistake".
I am simply waiting for YOU to apologise to brother Krakken and irish people for your disgusting deeds.....but you are too much of a coward to even think of doing a honorable thing....
