Cubed3's Greatest Moments

Cubed3 has had some ups and downs over its long, illustrious lifespan, but without a doubt it has had more ups. This thread is to decide which one has been the greatest \'up\'.

I don\'t know if this idea will get off the ground much, especially since we have a lot of new members around, but still, I think with a good mix of old moments from our older guys and new input from our newer members, we\'ll end up with a very diverse selection at the end.

So here\'s how it will work:

Every member will get up to Three nominations. Please make it clear which ones you want to nominate, and which ones you are just mentioning, as I\'ll have to pick apart which ones are nominations from your posts.

Final Nominations from specific members:

Our final list, with redundant nominations removed:

Our Judges will now confer to narrow down nominations to a top ten list.

A new thread will then be posted with a poll containing those top ten choices. One week of voting will commence, and then the top choice will be listed

Panel of Judges:

A transformer at heart...

MGE

A man whose last name could be his first name...

Mason

Our lone civilian, and well aged...

The Cheese

Last but not least, creator of the planet Cubed Dubious Threeious...

Here be my choices:

Nomination: Era of the League of Kings (LOK)

I have to say, this was the most fun I\'ve ever had at C3 here. At its peak, hundreds of posts were being made a day, factions were being made, betrayals going on, and all out battle.

Okay, so it was all just a bit of fun. But in reality, that\'s kind of thing that was going on before the LOK. We did have real factions, and there was a ton of bickering and fighting. I think the LOK was important in making us all relax. Eventually, it seemed like the entire site got involved with it, and I think we all \'bonded\' a bit through the \'conflict\'. I think its helped the site relax and remember that we\'re supposed to be having fun.

The single biggest reason that this is the greatest moment though, is obviously this:

Show Spoiler

Even though Knighty ended up betraying us, wow, just wow. This is WIN.

Other Nominations:
- Cubed3 Stars System
- Twilight Princess Discussion/hype

So get your nominations in!

This is such a cool idea Jacob! Although I'm basically concidered new (wish I had found this place earlier!!! )
The LoK sounds that it was a very good moment in C3 History (pity I wasn't there for that! ).

The only one I can nominate is the new C3 design, since I haven't been around long enough for much else.

Haha the LoK was awesome I can\'t think of many moments. I can barely remember what I ate this morning. E3 IRC was pretty damn fun, as was \"Get Sheena to dress up as Samus\". I\'ll try and think up a proper nomination soon.

I think I\'ll have to nominate the League of Kings Saga. There were many other ideas flying around in my head until I read your nomination Jacob, and I couldn\'t believe I\'d forgotten about it. For me one of the most fun times I\'ve ever had on C3, because nearly everyone got involved in some way, mods and members alike (infact it was kind of a Mods VS Members at one point wasn\'t it? )

Then there were the C3 Murder Mysteries, which were also great fun. It\'s a shame we havn\'t had any more community based stuff like that since then.

Another highlight for me would be E3 \'06, and the Wii launch. Dull as it seems now, around the Wii launch, everyone was on C3 at once, even members who\'d been gone for ages (like Beam) came back to talk about the Wii, and everyone posted in the Twilight Princess Thread whilst we played it, helping each other out harmoniously. Half of us think it\'s shit now but that\'s besides the point. It\'s one of the times I really thought we were a real tightknit community. (Not that I don\'t love you outsiders new guys too :3)

as was Get Sheena to dress up as Samus

If we were having a weirdest moment in C3 history.

Guys, it doesn\'t matter a whole lot if you\'re new. You can still post your favorite moment. Even in the past year C3\'s had a bunch of \'em!

Ah, Yes! the Twilight Princess time was great. Everyone talking about, theorizing, and then the debates afterwards. That was a good time too. (heh, another reason I made this thread, so we could all reminisce like old men. )

Thanks for mentioning my mysteries too. :p

Hmm, I'm trying desperately to think of some decent moments.

One that springs to mind is when C3 moved to a temporary forum due to the actions of a hacker, and a certain someone pretended to be the hacker and laugh in all our faces!

Perhaps not a 'greatest moment', but an important one anyway, is when C3 changed from a .co.uk to a .com . It represented the sites expansion and growth, in my opinion.

I have to say I think League of Kings will win this. Sometimes posts were flying round so fast I lost track of what was going on, but I liked my swivel chair and coffee, and that's all that mattered.

I disagree on the .com change. I prefer .co.uk sites, hence why Warehouse8 is .co.uk. I just like the way it sounds more :p

That was Msenyszak right?

Dunno guys, I think .com has a better ring to it.

Yeh! I was going to write his name...but I knew I would goof up the spelling big time!

Where did msenyszak go?

Dunno about the .com/.co.uk thing. I might have missed that. Being a .com gives you more authority in the gaming industry I'll bet

I thought this thread was fun:
*Draw-A-Mario!*

It won't win, but it was nice moment.

For me personally, it's meeting Goichi Suda. Also, Retro Month. So much annoyance but so worth it in the end IMO...

On the forum front, E3 '06 was incredible.

I think the whole build-up to Wii launch and the day that the Wii's release was announced and everyone posting in the hopes of finding out when and how much. Really enjoyed it.

For me the funniest moment was the whole thing over the size of sig's some of the most sarcastic post that ive read on here.

lol that was a good time, \"you sig is 5 pix\'s too big \"
I LOVE when people get pissy!!!

Let\'s see...the LOK was EPIC...I wasn\'t actively posting back then...but I was there...lurking in the shadows.

Also the C3 Murder Mysteries were really awesome. I think reading those was the first time I really got a feeling of community from C3.

We need more community stuff like that again. Maybe a LOK Mk.II?

( Edited 17.06.2008 19:39 by Ikana )

It would be more like a revival, spurred on by something accidental heard... through whispers and coffee mugs.

Also it would be nothing without Madam; alas he is now an accomplished photographer and his coffee has gotten cold. Fighting a cold hard C3 civil war would be too hard for One without his reassuring Zoidberg avatar.

EDIT: Didn\'t someone keep some sort of record of the main \"events\" (threads) of the LoK Saga? Jacob has the main thread in his sig, but I dunno where the rest is... I shoulda saved it somewhere...

( Edited 17.06.2008 19:54 by SuperLink )

Jacob sent it through PM.

And yes, those times were epic. Almost a year ago now in fact. We need something like a re-enactment or something to commemorate the 1st anniversary...

Infact we\'re talking a few days here... The first post of the thread was the 19th. I wonder if Monkeyman will make a surprise show for our grand anniversary.

Sounds like a better time than ever to make a \"comeback\" in any sense of the word; it\'d be good enough for me...

EDIT: WTF! The \"Start of LOK\" thread has been deleted! Wha- happened!!

Should be HERE...
