Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

In Assani Fisher's recent posts he has included a countdown that he is not willing to give any clues to it's meaning. The sports forum has derailed a bunch of threads trying to get to the bottom of this. I think it would be best to hold all speculation to this thread.

My theory is that he is just effing with the entire forum to get people to pay attention to a silly number for no reason at all. It's working perfectly IMO.

Are you implying that he's some kind of retarded attention whore?

If I am correct then he is a brilliant attention whore. By simply writing a number at the bottom of all his threads he got yeti demoded and has derailed tons of threads. Perhaps this is an accident, perhaps it is planned. Whatever it is, I wanna know why.

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

I already posted my theory which is that he belongs to a cult and he thinks the world will end when the countdown reaches zero.

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

perhaps until his ban/retirement from 2p2

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

How did he get Yeti demodded?

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

Guys,

It's obviously the number of posts until he explains what his countdown is about. When he hits 0, then he tells us all he was counting down to that very explanation.

He started posting the countdown in a NFL week 8 thread and yeti threatened to ban him if he did not inform the people what the number meant. Assani did not tell the sports forum and got banned which is against the rules IMO?

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

Ok, I see that there are quite a few threads about things here, so I'm going to cross post this in a bunch of them....



First off, I see that I've been attacked a bit as a poster, so I'm going to defend myself....

I mainly post in 4 forums: Sporting Events, B&M(although since I've found out about the forums at allvegaspoker.com I've started posting less there), Internet Gambling, and Omaha8. I truly believe that I start a ton of very good threads. I often start interesting debates, I'm willing to "think outside the box", and I ALWAYS treat other posters with respect and I NEVER EVER resort to personal insults or name calling. I can give you tons of examples of good threads I've started:

Needless to say, I think I contribute a lot here. You may not like all of my posts- thats fine. But at the very least, I think you have to admit that I keep things interesting, provide my fair share of worthwhile content, and am respectful to others. For those reasons, I really feel as if anyone calling for a ban is way out of line. Moreover, if you truly dislike my posts, then I have no problem with anyone putting me on ignore.



Let me now briefly discuss my history with the OOT forum, as it seems as if much of the hate comes from stuff I've posted there....


I only post on one other message board- footballguys. Over there, they have their main boards and then a FFA(free for all), which is basically "talk about any other crap here." I assumed when I came to 2p2 that OOT was similar to the FFA: Don't clog up our main forums with stupid stuff, but we realize that every now and then you just want to be silly or discuss something meaningless, so we'll give you a forum for that.

Well apparently I was wrong. OOT is probably the most heavily modded forum. Hell, I've seen them lock threads for practically no reason at all. So when I first started posting there, and started posting onslaughts, it wasn't met kindly by everyone. However I didn't(and still don't) understand their reasoning:

There were clearly people that enjoyed the onslaught threads- read the threads and you'll see that. And I never was rude to anyone, and I always told anyone who didn't like them to simply not click on them. So if some people in your forum like a topic and its not offensive to anyone, then why not just let it be? I thought and still do think that this is a great abuse of mod power and greatly hurts these forums. Moreover, I think that these forums could greatly use a place for "other topics" since the current OOT is so heavily modded.

But whatever....I realized their ways there, and now I basically only post in the Lost, Heroes, and The Office threads there. Everyone take note of what I did: I DIDN'T LIKE SOMETHING, AND INSTEAD OF WHINING AND BITCHING ABOUT IT OR BEING RUDE AND INSULTING, I SIMPLY WENT ELSEWHERE. Amazing philosophy, right?

Anyway, if anyone is carrying ill will towards me simply because of those onslaughts, please get over it. They were a niche topic for a certain group of people. Nobody was forcing you to click on that thread. I am continually amazed that on a poker board(where patience and tilt control are preached as virtues) that people can anger so quickly and easily over petty things.


Moving on.....

Some people have told me that Yeti was stripped of his mod status due to suspending my account. Here is what I recently wrote regarding that:

Wow. I don't know what I think about that. I certainly have no personal ill will towards him at all. Although I do think that it was a poor decision to suspend me, so perhaps it was a good decision. If anyone in power wants my opinion, I'd say that unless he has a history of abusing power, then I would not take away his mod status just due to this one incident.



I still feel that same way.


Regarding the countdown, I recently wrote this to someone who asked me to explain it:

There is one person in the world who I do not want to know about it(he doesn't post here, so don't waste your time trying to guess who). It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to me that he doesn't find out. If I could completely trust everyone to not let any info out, I would say. But I really can't trust any of you that I don't know in real life...sorry.

And for the record, I have made an offer to MEBenhoe to tell him what the countdown meant. He refused my offer. It is still on the table.



Just to add, I have told 6 people on here what it means, so the answer is out there. However, I've gotten a bunch more PMs asking me...no, I am not going to trust a complete stranger with this info just because you ask. I'm sorry for that.




In closing, let me just say that I truly and honestly am not a bad guy and I don't try to "troll" at all. I've actually made a number of friends through these forums, have joined 2 fantasy leagues, have made a bunch of sports wagers, and have met quite a few people in real life. I'm light-hearted and easy going...don't take me too seriously, and if you don't like what I'm posting then just ignore it. Honestly its not worth getting riled up over, as I rarely do so. Icy pots too all, and to all a good night.

The onslaught thread was one of the best OPs ever (if it was original, which I have doubts about)

Onslaughts were an original idea. I used them first on footballguys under my old username "jwvdcw" in the FFA there. TannerBoyle was also a key memeber in popularizing onslaughts, so I'll give him some credit as well.

AF,

yeah. I found that on the web, and had to decide between you posting there first or stealing from someone there.



All,


It never amazes me how, even the smarter 2p2ers, are so easily duped into giving people attention when their very obvious exact purpose is to get people to give them attention.

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

Just from some quick calculations it looks like it could be minutes until the Patriots win the Super Bowl. I don't feel like wasting more than 30 seconds on this though.

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

i dont think its a countdown. ive seen him go down and back up again. seems more like a running total of something. im guessing its the balance of an investment or bank acct.

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

Yeti > Most mods

This is a bad decision.

Assani sucks, lol, oats.

Sporting Goods or whatever its called is the new Politics?

That countdown/whatever is gay.

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

Its related to his post count here and at the other forum.

Its some kind of countdown until he reaches 200,000 posts across multiple forums or something like that.

It definately isnt a factor of time, number 105365 was posted at 07:13 wheras number 105364 was posted at 07:16.

Its probably for a prop bet, hence the not wanting one person to find out or something to that effect.

I suspect if you searched that other forum he mentioned in the other thread he will have similar countdown numbers which follow the same pattern and would fill in the gaps.

Anyway, ive satisfied a bit of my curiousity, i dont really care what it is for real but i think im on the money. The only anomoly i found in my sample was the crossposted post where he has the same number 5 times but in 2 distinctly different times (4 were at 08:13, one was at 08:22).

Re: Assani Fisher countdown speculation thread
 

i'm was gonna say that i was gonna put a random number at tne ehd of each of my posts and then say "and counting", but then i realized that it's both really annoying to do and lame.

I will bet anyone and give 10-1 odds on this. I say that I am the sole founder of onslaughts. The honus will be on me to provide sufficient evidence that I started onslaughts. Let me know if you're interested.
