And this, ladies and gentlemen, is called bait.

More generally, it could be a bait gambit — I don't even have to know if tourist participates. If he does, then I'm right. Otherwise, I'm a fisherman and CF users are fish.

    Sorry Xellos, but this is our way to encourage people to try harder when they post not so funny joke/sarcasm :D

    By the way, it seems people liked fishes more than fisherman :D

      What is? Downvotes?

      If you think so, look back at the number of times when a perfectly sound comment (and I'm not talking about mine) gets downvotebombed for no stated reason. You seem to read them often enough to notice. No, the up/downvotes are a very random thing — and should not be taken seriously, except in absolute value as the number of users who noticed you.

        Can we use this argument on every comment which got negative votes? why not?

          Can we use this argument on every comment which got negative votes? why not?

          The argument is "votes don't reflect anything". Yes, you can use it on any comment.

          Why do you think I'm angry? I'm just explaining the situation. You people are weird.

            I meant the argument of saying "that comment is nice and should be up-voted but it got a random downvotebombed".

            it's easy to say that on every comment which got down-votes.

            I felt like you had negative feelings about what we did when you posted the "bait comment", so I asked you not to get angry.

              Ok. The comment had a form of inductive logic, stating supporting evidence (too many good comments get downvotebombed) and then a generalised conclusion (votes are too random to reflect anything). The supporting evidence, of course, can't be applied generally — in fact, such an attempt would lead to a contradiction with the conclusion.

              It's imageboard culture. If you frequented them, you'd learn not to get angry over... well, anything on the Internet, because there is nobody to get angry at and it doesn't matter because you're just part of a mass of anons. You can't get hurt, it won't affect you IRL — unless you let it. You can even act as two people and attack yourself. It teaches you to laugh at the weirdest things...

              It also decreases the use of smileys in conversation, since you can post an image (or more of them) with every post and they often convey the mood of the post. Here's a random one I picked. The bait pictures are a classic meme indicating someone who doesn't believe what he's saying, just saying it for the sake of getting the community to respond. Which is absolutely what my posts are :D

                  When I say we're sorry it means we should not repeat it specially that even if I didn't say sorry it's not funny in this occasion and it used a word other than مبروك

                enough, write a new blog to explain your logic and stop posting big comments here irrelevant to this blog.

      I think the Syrian teams would be ranked, 1-Aleppo 2-Tishreen 3-Damascus

      I am not saying they would finish top three :3 but this is how they would be ranked relative to each other :D

              You are using عتيس in public places and that puts عتيس in danger .

This is pretty crazy guess but I hope I'll be close to real results...

  1. Ural FU
  2. U Warsaw
  3. Shanghai JTU
  4. Moscow SU
  5. SPb SU
  6. Harward U
  7. Moscow IPT
  8. ITMO
  9. The Chinese U of Hong Kong (why did nearly no one mention them?)
  10. MIT
  11. Lviv NU
  12. Nizhny Novgorod SU

Though I didn't put Saratov SU in the list, I hope they will take medals! I believe they can do such a thing but this year lots of teams deserve this...

Still SARATOV SU FTW!

// Also I'm waiting for something amazing from FU of Campina Grande, fsouza suprised me a lot during last cf rounds.
