Let's vote for the best AoCZone/AoEZone post of all time!
So what we can do is: Everyone can nominate one (or more) posts - be it threads, comments or messages that have been posted in the long history of this forum. These might be funny posts, amazing comebacks or whatever makes it interesting. You may provide the context if necessary. Let's decide the winner by the number of likes each nomination gets.
I'll start by nominating Spaden's legendary post:

So am I. It's probably gonna be the best game in the group stages. And I am not really thinking about the games in particular, but more of the action before, during and after the games.
First of all we will have a really strong scheudling fight between Ra and ACCM. Ra will dig up when they eat their breakfast, when they leave the internet café and when they brush their teeth and post proofs of that they are actually able to play at any given hour. ACCM that now is very confused will propose something weird and not close to what Ra proposes and it will keep on going through flaming to atempting of scheudling, back and forth. I think we can expect to see at least 6 pages in this scheudling topic.
When we have finally reached the actual time of when the games are scheudled for (probably 3 weeks after deadline), everyone will be there on time because it's an important game. But just as the game launches Hasan decides to go for a "quick" smoke. When he is finally gets back after 25 mins have they already encountered some trouble. Some VNS guys has already developed a FP problem with someone from KGB. After 15 mins of hard work trying to download Hamachi and instruct them how to use it, the ping will reduce from 1200 to a rocking 600.When g1 has already been delayed 40 mins, they're ready to go. 5 mins into the first game, it starts raining in Brazil and all the brazilians drop. The rest of KGB now panics and uses their ace up the sleeve, they call their top TG-player, the Whackman to help them out. The Whackman now instruct them to stay calm and wait whole 5 mins for the brazilians to return. KGB founds peace in the Whackmans soothing voice and stay calm. When the brazilians finally return, Hasan has gone for another smoke and the waiting continues another 10 mins (he hurried up).
Now all 8 of them are in the game room again, but it takes another 5 mins to actually restore the game instead of watching the record of it as Yellow had put. Some angry insults later Yellow finally realises the mistakes and fixes it. They're finally good to go. Due to the lag and 17 pauses, the 1h30 in-game time is really 2h30 in reality time. Now when the first game is finished, only 3h30 mins after scheudled time, they're ready to tackle game two. But since Ra was so clever and picked an awkward time for the vietnamese, they now have to travel home since the internet café is closing. When the vietnamese are settled at home, 45 mins later, they keep on going to game two. The 600 ping is now 900 ping. After some insults and trash talking, they decide to finally launch. Game two is now complete after Hasan pulled of some really agressive play and the VNS resign after 27 mins in-game time, 1h10 that is in reality. Some more complaining about the lag and some KGB's rage quit and the VNS go to sleep. The games are now postponed and scheudled for two weeks later.
The aftermath will strike the aoc-community hard. Name calling and flame topics will be created on aoczone. It will be like a warzone, with our usual trolls seeing the oppurtunity and joins in on the party. Excuses will be made, tears will be shed, topics will be locked and bans will be thrown around.
Guys, we're not settling down for a good 3-4 hour watch for these 5 games. It will be a day activity with part 1,2 and 3. Call in sick for work, lie for mom and stay home for school, becuase it's gonna get long and messy. This is definetely the game I am looking forward to the most 8-)
