Free your mind.

Savants will be like in the Matrix Reloaded when Neo went bad ass and kicked every Smith in the head and went AHHHHHHHH!!! and then Inuyasha jumped out of the window and cut Smith in half and said, "DEMON! Fear the Tetsaiga!"

It's starting to be less 'post in the wrong thread day' and 'make PC forums look like the officials' day.

[Miss Ismurii]

Why?

[Ignot]

Yeah I don't get it. If you said Savants seem like a class Neff would love, then maybe. Because of the whole mind reading thing. Is that even what savants do?

[Moist Happenings]

No. That's Empathy. Closer to it, anyway.

Neff couldn't be further from a savant than anyone else on the planet. A savant is a learned person, a scholar, someone wise in knowledge. All polar opposites of Neff.

Put your money where your mouth is. Might want to take a picture to send to Methais to add to his collection when you prove it's physically possible to fit both your head and a wad of 20's up your ass.

Since I'm so nice, I'm going to give you the opportunity to prove yourself right for once, even though that hasn't really shown itself as an interest of yours in the past.

100 question (More, if you like) general graduate level academic test run by a neutral third party. No multiple choice. I can probably arrange for ETS to do it.

$5000, held in escrow.

Let me know, and I'll have my lawyer draw up the contract. Should be easy money for you if you're so confident.

Edit:

Additionally, I'd also be willing to exclude topics stemming from the field I have a degree in, to give you an edge.

[Tisket]

Google scholarship does not count.

[Moist Happenings]

Google scholarship does not count.

I agree. That is why the test would be created and run by ETS or another testing medium.

That is also why the amount is $5000. Between fees from my lawyer drawing up the contract, and the test creation by a neutral third party, it will cost the majority of what I take from you to arrange it.

So, yes, or are you suddenly not so confident?

[Tisket]

I said it in your rep post but it deserves repetition: you sound incredibly ignorant in every post you make. The harder you try the more I laugh at you.

So the answer is no, then? You're confident that I am the polar opposite of intelligent, but not confident that you're smarter than I am.

Hmmm....

Good for you.

Ignorant bitch.

Open offer if you ever think you want to drag yourself out of the gutter with an extra "easy" 5000 dollars.

Oh, and please quote the part of my post you considered ignorant.

[Tisket]

I have nothing to prove. You, on the other hand, would be unable to compose a sentence without the assistance of google and wikipedia.

Oh, so it's a matter of profit then.

Name your number, as long as it'll cover my costs. Any amount you want. This could be that house you always dreamed of. Or you could just be full of hot air. I wouldn't stand a chance against you though without google and wikipedia, now would I?

Don't you think that's a bit extreme? And I don't think you would go through with it if Tisket agreed to it. You made it extreme because nobody in their right mind would agree to do this with a total stranger on a message board. you just wanted to be able to say this:


So the answer is no, then? You're confident that I am the polar opposite of intelligent, but not confident that you're smarter than I am.

Makes you look kinda creepy if you ask me.

[Tisket]

Bingo.

[Moist Happenings]

You aren't even making sense anymore. Which doesn't surprise me in the least.

And you're running away with your tail between your legs just as my super ESP mega ultra powers divined because you are willing to talk shit, just not back it up.

I'm offering you the chance of the lifetime, as long as you're willing to back up your words here. Nobody here would have to know whether you won or lost. Just you, and I, and your money.

If you're so confident that I am an absolute idiot that with no "scholarly" knowledge, and I offered you a bet of $100,000, or any amount that you could muster as long as I have it, that I was more intelligent than you with the money held legally in escrow with a contract, with the test edged in your favor, why not?

Where's the risk?

The answer? There is none, unless you're really not so confident that what you said was true.

Edit:

And Ignot, one way to find out if I'll go through with it or not. There's no risk to her to say yes and then I don't go through with it. The fact that she didn't say yes shows that she doesn't really believe what she said. And for the record, I would, and will go through with it.

I'm mad I can't give teh aids to Tisket.

Also. Read second signature.

[Tisket]

And I doubt Neff has a degree in anything but Bullshit.

[Moist Happenings]

And I doubt Neff has a degree in anything but Bullshit.

One more reason for you to take me up on my offer. Where's the risk to you in this?

[Ignot]

I doubt very seriously that he has $5,000.

[Moist Happenings]

I doubt very seriously that he has $5,000.

A legitimate doubt. I'm a name on a message board. You don't know me one way or the other.

The only one in a position to confirm or deny it is scared to because she's not willing to back up what she says, because this is the internet, where she can say whatever she wants without fear that anyone can prove or disprove it.

Edit:

Ignot, same to you. I respect that. Just can't rep you again right now. Haven't been on the forums to cycle through lately.

[Tisket]

Neff, you are a known liar. You are also known for your stupidity. This is not new nor is it just myself who feels this way. How is this news to you?

You're acting in an emotionally unstable and irrational way at the moment. You can't say in one breath that this is just a message board and then make some bizarre, extreme bet in the next because some random stranger thinks you are the stupidest person in the world...

Quote please.

I gamble for a living. Against random strangers. That's no secret. I play the odds, and the odds are weighed heavily in my favor against you based on my evaluation of it. Obviously your evaluation is the opposite of that. I wouldn't extend the offer to Ignot or Vivian because they are genuinely intelligent people in my estimation. Maybe I could win a similar bet against one of them, but the odds aren't good enough. If you're confident, there's zero risk for you to agree to this proposal, because in your estimation it's free money. I'm offering to assume 100% of the setup costs and go out of my way to make it legally binding in order to get a lesser amount of money from you than you would get from me should you actually prove yourself correct.

The reason I offer to make it legally binding is because I expect it to be paid, whatever the outcome. I want your money. You want to prove yourself right, and in doing so you have a chance to get more of my money. What's the problem?

I'm going to bed. Offer's on the table.

Good advice. Take it, or back your words up.

This has been highly entertaining. I'm pretty sure I made Neff cry.

I like you better than most people do on here, but seriously stfu and get a fucking grip. This is the internet. Nobody cares. Even if you had your little duel, nobody would care regardless of who won. It wouldn't change anyone's perception of either of you, and you won't be granted some sort of owed respect on here that I'm guessing you think it would result in, even if you got everything correct and Tisket drew her answers in crayon or vice versa.

You're reaching dangerously high levels of fail, which has been attained on here only by a select few, such as Warclaidhm's overall failure at life, Tamral (in his hacker catching cat running over not heterosexual high school rumor spreading days), Tabor voter card fail, Klaive's extreme levels of fat kid ninja fail, and evenEdgeleaf/GS Lawyer epic fail, which I'm pretty sure is still at the top of the fail chain, with a strong potential for to outfail them all if this serious business keeps up.

Just saying.


And I doubt Neff has a degree in anything but Bullshit.

I couldn't think of anything to say relating to this thread, so I sent thefarmer a posrep that said his avatar looked like a bludgeoned rat.

That being said, I want Lysander to make a million Savant threads so we can image-link pictures of Steven Hawking and then do rhyming words like we did in all those really awesome and fantastic monk threads.

Take a standardized test like the GMAT or GRE and compare scores for bragging rights.

To preface, this is my last post on this topic. I made my offer and it's clear that it won't be taken because she's full of shit. I'm not interested in proving myself smarter than she is to any of you. I stated earlier that no one here would have to know. Just she, I, and, and her money would. She stated that I was the polar opposite of intelligent, and I offered her a legitimate bet that I thought might be taken up.

If I had made the offer due to some sort of superiority complex, or desire to earn anyone else's approval, I probably would have made it an open offer to anyone. As it stands, I already admitted that my chances of winning the same bet against others would be severely diminished. I don't limit that to Ignot and Vivian. In point of fact, the only person I'm 100% confident of beating is Tisket, and that's why she alone received the offer. I hate the shit out of Diethx and Nieninque, but they haven't really posted anything that would let me gauge their intelligence. Tisket has.

And to address Vulvamancer, it's not worth my while to simply take a standardized test without something to gain from it. Like I said, I gamble for a living. Without profit there's no gain for me.

Can we get back to Savants, now?

[Methais]

I made my offer and it's clear that it won't be taken because she's full of shit.

Based on my assessment of the thread, I think the case is more that Tisket just doesn't give a shit, regardless of how much more or less smart she may or may not be than you.

[Cephalopod]

To preface, this is my last post on any topic.

Fixed. Please?

Pretty please?

With sugar on top?

[SpiffyJr]

I love it when internet tough guys get called out and then back down. I do not know either of the parties involved but I'm going to guess Tisket would lose based on her evasive responses. Anyone have a link to the other "epic fails" that have graced these forums? I'm at work and could use some nice reading material in the few minutes of downtime I have.

[CrystalTears]

How did she back down? She believes he's not intelligent based on how he posts here. If it meant something to him, he just needs to prove that he's intelligent. Challenging her won't accomplish anything because she didn't claim she was more or less smarter than him.

It was a stupid suggestion anyway seeing as how it won't change how people perceive either one of them on these boards.

[SpiffyJr]

Well, by not accepting his challenge she is inadvertently admitting he would beat her, or at the very least, he could beat her...


That, or she just doesn't give a shit.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

That, or she just doesn't give a shit.

Ding ding ding.

Beyond that, calling someone out is what Tisket has done by saying "Hey Neff, when you post you sound functionally retarded." Demanding that they make a bet with you and take a standardized test is not calling someone out.

[Tisket]

How did she back down? She believes he's not intelligent based on how he posts here. If it meant something to him, he just needs to prove that he's intelligent. Challenging her won't accomplish anything because she didn't claim she was more or less smarter than him.


Yeah, I've never claimed to be of anything but average intelligence. My intelligence however, has nothing to do with Neff being a complete and utter moron.

He's socially maladjusted, incompetent, prone to tantrums, a liar, a cheat, and ugly to boot. Wonder what kind of test challenge he will issue over those opinions...

[diethx]
