Best Album Ever Survivor: Somewhere In Time wins

[Perun]

Grounds for awarding the Maidenfans.com Medal of Stupendous Boredom Second Class are notably: Excessive Nitpicking and Semantics-Wankery. As always, objections will be ignored.

Thank you for your attention.

What would maidenfans be without this medal?

Now that I think about it, it'd probably be a long collection of Fugitive vs Starblind-type discussions.

Foro earns his second medal, congrats!

 

[Perun]

The Medals aren't awarded to individuals, but entire discussions.

 

[____no5]

Foro?? We all do, dude. Everyone who's participating has his own piece in this.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Let's hope mckindog shows up with the next installment of this survivor soon so we can all put the medal in the drawer and forget about the whole thing

 

[____no5]

Yeah, it expires today..

The Medals aren't awarded to individuals, but entire discussions.

I know but shouldn't it be like a team event ? If a team wins, every member of it gets an individual medal. And since Foro was one of the keys in both arguments, I think he should be the captain and lift the trophy.

I'm just fooling around, of course.

 

[mckindog]

This is the best medal I've ever been part of.
But it's not my favourite.

 

[mckindog]

OK, maybe it is.

Definitions show you how a word can be used in different contexts

I mentioned a certain context.

(that's why they're numbered). The "most enjoyable" definition does not work in this context.

It does.

I can look at Tyranny of Souls and acknowledge that that album is better than Skunkworks. It's not because I find it more enjoyable; it's because it's the better written album of the two.

You can but it has nothing to do with this game (= this context).

If you look at the "most enjoyable" example the definition uses, it is using it on something entirely subjective.

Yes.

Music is not entirely subjective

In this context it is, since there are no common other arguments/criteria.

, so it does not work in this context.

So it does work in this context.

However, since mckindog specifically said that he meant favorites, I'm still picking my favorites.

That's exactly what should be done indeed.

I don't see how you can say your little brother would be a better basketball player than Kobe Bryant just because you enjoy watching him play more ?? Everyone knows Bryant would be the better basketball player. I can also enjoy reading some unimportant/waste a few hours suspense book but know that there are far better pieces of literature out there.

You clearly do not understand what I meant and you also misquoted me. So don't put words in my mouth, thank you.

Oh my god

I have another ground:

Continuing a discussion in which people disagree longer than 24 hours in a row.

Rare happenings in these days of social media and friendliness.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

it does, no it doesn't, it does, no it doesn't arguments. The last page we've been waddling through the same stuff. Time to let this die, therefor the yawn

Okay, Foro, here's what's going on.

You're arguing about what "best" should be defined as in this context (because any other way would be boring).

I'm arguing how "best" is typically defined in a context like this (as in when someone makes a poll saying, "What is Bruce Dickinson's best album?" I would vote for TOS).

I don't think we're arguing about the same thing.

I'm surprised it took so long to get that medal actually.

@Sixes:
Yes, I changed my tone in the last post (and showed some irritation) because I really had the idea you and KDH were not really listening to what I said. You guys certainly played a part in the length.

 

[Kill Devil Hill]

Oh, yeah, I'd say I was one of the biggest contributors.

I think that might have happened indeed.

I felt it was coming (seriously).

This is probably the easiest round for mckindog:

Balls and Awake promoted. Rest of that era: adieu!

Or will he keep Superunknown for the next round?
