Longbowman's 20,000th Thumb-Up

[Longbowman]

We're only 170 thumbs away from this Thumb of Thumbs. Which of you deserves to be the recipient of this high honour? Tell me why you deserve to be number 20,000. The winner will be decided in 169 thumbs' time.

[Trogdor]

I'm the first reply to this thread, so I should get 20,000th thumb-up.

What do you say?

So far you're in the lead. The winner will have a random post selected and thumbed up.

[alfieb]

I'd rather be the 1000th thumbs down.

[Longbowman]

I'd rather be the 1000th thumbs down.

There'll be a separate thread for that when I get to around 990.

Protip for those in search of the prize: flattery gets you everywhere.

[Vasconcelos]

I deserve it because I am you, Jennifer.

[Trogdor]

So far you're in the lead. The winner will have a random post selected and thumbed up.

Plus, I reached my 777th post today. It couldn't get more fitting.

[Longbowman]

Strong argument, Helium.

French is unlikely to secure you this prestigious prize.

[Armenian Bishop]

The honoring of the twentieth thousand thumb up is a good idea. Longbowman deserves many tens of thousands of thumbs up credits.

[Catkin]

I should because I am British and you should be biased. For Queen and country! :smilie_flagge3:


It is what she would want...

Invoking HM the Queen. Strong, strong argument.

We have some flattery. A challenger emerges!

[Trogdor]

Are you going to update the OP every time you give a new thumbs up?

[Longbowman]

Are you going to update the OP every time you give a new thumbs up?

Good question. The answer is no, but reminders will be given when there are only 150, 100, 50, 25, 10, 5, 3, 2 and of course 1 thumb to go.

[Hubal]

let's not be greedy fellas! And share the TU instead, what do you say ?

[Armenian Bishop]

Yes Sir! Well, I'm a nice guy, and I try to give credit where it's due. The truth is that I very much respect your impeccable spelling, grammar and punctuated sentences.

[Equilibrium]

One thumps up -> one respect

And you know you should respect my authority, bro.

[Longbowman]

Everyone should take a leaf out of Armenian Bishop's book.

At the rate I thumb I reckon the winner will be decided by the end of the weekend, so pace yourself. No need to develop an arms race. The prize may be tantalizing, but let us remember: we are humans, not animals.

When she stumbles across this thread whilst trying to decide whether Prince Philip is more dolio or meso, she would not like to see you have forsaken a fellow citizen of her realm :icon_no:. Do not let her down Mr Man.

You and Armenian Bishop are clearly in the lead. Still! Over 150 thumbs to go. Let's see who else will throw their hat into the ring.

[Longbowman]

150 thumbs to go. Your next update will be in 50 thumbs' time. Things happen fast in the thunderdome, people.

Because my posts are always rational and on-point. And when 'trolling', it's light-hearted humor, never offensive or insulting. My general contributions and overall demeanor on the forum speaks for itself.

You thumbed down the OP though :(

But see, Mark, this is the kind of thing that might win you the prize.

[Trogdor]

I just want to post in this thread so you can thumb me up, basically a shameless way of promoting my growing score, and to support you in your quest of reaching 17000 thumbs up.

You are not alone.

It's a win-win situation.

It's a four horse race now. But have you played your trump card too early? Still 100+ thumbs to go!

[Darth Revan]

I will write a story about the life of a longbowman in the army of Edward the Black Prince, who is secretly Jewish by his father's side but cannot allow himself to reveal it for fear of being expelled from the King's Army.

The story shall be set in the second and third decade of the Hundred-Years War, and will feature Edward the Black Prince, King Edward III, John II of France, and the battle of Poitiers, where the longbowman will perform one noble deed, untold by later generations, but nonetheless of great consequence for the future of the war; thus disproving the stereotypes that all Jews know how to is leech and plot.

I am sure I can earn the thumb, with a philosemitic short story.

I cannot guarantee it, as of course nothing is decided until I get to 19,999, but should you write such a story, I am sure it will be the frontrunner.

The arms race has certainly started. But, is it too early? Will this inspire others to spur on their horses? Only time will tell.

[LotusFlower]

I’m your girlfriend. Enough said.

[Longbowman]

I’m your girlfriend. Enough said.

But you'd be my girlfriend whether or not I gave you the thumb. You've made Mark's mistake of assuming being a nice (in his case) or incredible (in your case) person will get you the thumb. No. Bribery, flattery and gifts will get you the thumb.

A good girlfriend would go through every single one of my 16,000 posts and thumb them all up, just to boost my self esteem. Just saying.

I was going for that first, but then I remembered that I'm poor.

[Jehan]

Let's be honest, the only human being who desserve a so great honor from your exceptional and superior person is yourself, O majestic Longbowman!

So, may i advice you to never give it to anybody and stay at 19 999 thumb up?

[Linebacker]

Its going to be for some random passing member who is just here for a classification thread and leave without realizing the blessing he/she has received.

I forgot that your kind is incapable of emotions towards goy.
Oh well, it was worth a try. There is always the 30.000th thumb up (or the 1000th thumb down).

Don't be like that. We're incapable of emotions towards each other, too.

I'll do this for the 22,222nd thumb and 25,000th thumb too.

Not enough to do anything about it, though. Poor chap needs someone to donate some thumbs his way.

I was finishing a 4 stanza 16 line poem, for Longbowman, with references to Robin Hood, Richard the Lion Hearted, Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, The Light Brigade, the Battle of Crécy, and longbow craftsmanship. Unfortunately, I lost control of the computer mouse, and as I attempted to restrain it, I accidentally clicked the go back button which erased everything.
