"You win the internet"

[Denmark]

another thread? odd.

What's up with people saying that someone else has "won the internet"? Is this just some new nonsensical saying to pass on the message that someone did something cool? I mean, wtf. The internet is not a game, or a sport, or any sort of competition. Nor is it a prize. You can't win the internet.

I propose a boycott. Like I've done with Sudoku. But this thread is about winning the internet. Neel's thread is about Sudoku.

Denmark. :( You're being a stick in the butt. ;___; I LIKE telling people that the win at the internets. People are not encouraged enough and it makes people feel happy when they win at the internets. It's POSITIVE. :heart:

[XxSephirothxX]

Honestly, I think it's overused and is just annoying. If I saw it every six months when I read something so hilarious I was rolling on the ground gasping for air, it'd be appropriate. As it is, I see it everyday, practically, and it's just one of those sayings that's lost any worth.

[Denmark]

come up with something more creative.

and on that note, bad things can be something other than "like the shinra".

EDIT: i heart you azar HEY THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!

[Captain Maxx Power]

Nice try Denmark, but I'm still the reigning champion. I've won the internet at least fifteen times today, whereas you'd be lucky to clock in once.

[Yamaneko]

Fail.

[Rye]

Not necessarily, Denmark does win at the internets for telling me about citiots and The Dresden Dolls. So, congrats Denmark~

PS: Like the shinra is good because it's EoFF/EoFF member specific so you can escape it if you dislike it, but it's funny. :)

[Denmark]

Yes, let's not be creative and come up with something unique every time we say anything, instead let's limit our vernacular to those things that someone else came up with! <3

[crashNUMBERS]

You're being a stick in the butt. ;___;
I thought I was a pain in the ass... *Pets rye*

And I never heard that saying. All I heard is "You won the thread"...

[Hawkeye]

we froze teh internets!

[kikimm]

I have to agree with Azar. YES I HAVE TO.

Usually I don't really mind these kinda sayings, but there's something about this one that's blegh. I don't know.

But eh, whatever. I don't really care. BLEJTRISDJFSE

[Denmark]

well, by agreeing with Azar you agree with me and that's cool. :)

[Rye]

So, can I say that they have "achieved the world wide web"? Because I don't think anyone says that. :)?

"Win at the internets" remains~

[kikimm]

No.

[Denmark]

"Accomplished" I might give a second thought and still say no to. You're trying, though. that's good.

[Agent Proto]

Winning the Internet usually means you did something that someone liked. So they would say, "OMFG, YOU WON THE INTERNET" for something you have done that they liked.

It's like saying, "That was awesome" or "xD". It's just a response.

[Denmark]

but "you win the internet" is trite. "that was awesome" is not a phrase, it's a statement. and "xD" is a smiley.

[eestlinc]

Let σ − i be a mixed strategy profile of all players except for player i. We can define a best response correspondence for player i, bi. bi is relation from the set of all probability distributions over opponent player profiles to a set of player i's strategies, such that each element of bi(σ − i) is a best response to σ − i. Define http://en.wikipedia.org/math/98875e4e902febea50bf90e75704079a.png One can use the Kakutani fixed point theorem to prove that b has a fixed point. That is, there is a σ * such that http://en.wikipedia.org/math/705cd113be830f75394d2c60404db399.png Since b(σ * ) represents the best response for all players to σ * , the existence of the fixed point proves that there is some strategy set which is a best response to itself. No player could do any better by deviating, and it is therefore a Nash equilibrium.

Damn straight.

Thats so emo man. You fail at the internets

Wait, it makes sense.

[Denmark]

eest, I have no idea what you're talking about and i don't see its relevance to this thread at all.

[eestlinc]

game theory, man. john nash. beautiful mind.

[Denmark]

but the internet isn't a game, thus disproving your theory. that's a Denmark disproof.

[eestlinc]

according to game theory, everything is a game. so there.

[Rye]

according to game theory, everything is a game. so there.

So you CAN win at the internets, because everything is a game, according to the theory!

[eestlinc]

exactly

[Raistlin]

Come on guys, this isn't FG. We don't have to reuse the same phrases every day for years.

[Denmark]

omg Raistlin and I agree. makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. or cold and icky. or a combination of the two.

does this mean I'm becoming a bitter oldbie?

btw game theory = just a theory. theories are not the truth, they're just educated guesses. B)

EDIT: apparently the ezpimp thing doesn't do what I expected it to do xD

[eestlinc]

denmark wins something for both praising and mocking Raistlin in the same post.

[Yamaneko]

hay guys whats goin on in this thread? :cool:

[Leeza]

"OMFG, YOU WON THE INTERNET", Yams! :)

[Hawkeye]

Correction, Leeza wins the internets
1) She typed in all caps
2) She used OMFG
3) She didnt use her cat

[-N-]

I just took a screenshot of Leeza's post. <3

[Leeza]

Sheesh. All I did was copy/paste Proto. :cat:

[Trumpet Thief]

chaos: Is it possible to win the internet though? From, like, Bill Gates or something? And you could have total control over every single website? :D

Rubedo: It's just a saying. Not really a big deal. Although, it well get annoying if it is used in EVERY SINGLE THREAD. *cough cough*

[-N-]

Holy crap it's Trumpet Thief.

[eestlinc]

I'm pretty sure Al Gore has the internet trophy.

[Hawkeye]

Why? Its not like he created the internet or anything :mad:

[eestlinc]

consolation prize for having the Presidency stolen from him.

[fire_of_avalon]

I totally just thought there were two eestlincs.

Not cool, kids. Not cool.

Denmark, stop being a stick in the butt. (Rye, I really like that and will incorporate it into my daily life).

[Meat Puppet]

I AM NOT ADDICTED TO GAMBLING OF ANY BREED

[eestlinc]

hey, I'm not the copycat here.

he's copying my avatar and my avatar thief.

What? People have been saying "You win at the internet/This wins my internet" and things close to it ever since I first started using the internet. It's no "new fad" or anything like that.

Yaaaay~ :heart:

[bipper]

It sucks and is stupid. The ending sucks anyways, so just enjoy it. I think BoB would be the final boss on the nets though...

[Optium]

I don't believe you DMKA, because if that's true then I will have lost faith
in humanity.

HEY GUYZ ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

If you win at the internet, you fail at life.

I think it's overused and is just annoying.

[Skarr]

You win the internet. I don't get it. :confused:

[Craig]

I totally just thought there were two eestlincs.

Happened to me like 5 times today.

But really, if someone won the internet do you think Bill Gates would copy/paste himself a new 1?

There's nothing to say but this: Craig, you've won at the internets. xD

[Denmark]

NO

LOL JESUS

and :ezpimp:

whoever made the ezpimp thing into that is my hero

[Flamethrower]

The problem is that it's a phrase used recklessly. You're suppose to use it only when someone says something smurfing hilarious or so smurfing genius that it blows your smurfing mind away. You're not suppose to use it when someone says something that makes you chuckle or makes you think "hmmmm, I kind of agree with that".

Poster #1: President Bush? More like President TUSH (as in "tushy" as in "butt" as in "ass")
Poster #2: OMFG YOU WIN THE INTERNETS!
Me: :yuck:

Uhh.. why hasn't anybody said it yet??


copy paste duh!
