Welcome to Fractal Forums

dear members,

now it is official:

 :beer: :beer: :beer:

the gold to be served on top of the specially prepared fractally decorated bakery has approached me yesterday :D
hahaha that is going to be the nicest show ever organized by fractalforums, the golden shirt accompanied with golden bakery and girls (hopefully)

Everything is set up me and my golden shirt and the assistants are wearing gold as well my speaking is trained and as short as possible the bakery is boken ( or baked?) and the official competition prizegiving ceremony will take place TODAY!!!

 :beer: :beer: :beer:

just a small impression from the prizegiving ceremony, more images and footage will follow!!

and these where the assitants, holding the winner cups ;)
thank you!

Get a few beers in those girls and its going to be a hell of an awards ceremony

 :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Suddenly I'm feeling the loss of not being there in person. That shiny shirt looks soooo hot! Oh yeah and girls too. :)

haha, wish you all where there, i am right now collecting the footage, i have full video recording of the show, sitt tightt

here the bakery with REAL GOLD AND CREAM GOT PREPARED!  O0

she was the master, that little gold spot beside is the 23 karat culinary gold ;)

and the whole assistants smiling nicely, that girl in the golden bikini i acquired right at the place :D

Sorry, but with every post in this thread I just become more and more disgusted... I've avoided to say something for quite a few posts, because I'm already "that guy" who dares to speak about such things...

These ornamental girls you "acquire", and people suggest you "get beers into"... all I can say is I hope this trashy attitude doesn't make it to the Fractal Symposium next year.

indeed, we got lost somehow, so, lets lift attitude!
those girls where there on a totally free base, no one forced, everybody enjoyed it, the girl i get known to was quite pleased when i asked her to join us on the stage, so, it was a very disciplined and civiled act, but i can not guarantee that you do not find a spot in the video as well, lol especially the shoutings of the crowd where somehow really harsh...

I guess the difference is that I see no "LOL" in this.

The fractal scene is blessed with many great girls, unlike the usual sausage-party that most nerdy endeavours wind up being, and this is kind of thing is 100% guaranteed to turn away any girls who were maybe thinking about attending such a meetup.

I am far from being easy to offend, and while I'm not really "offended" per se, it's just so ... man, I can hardly believe there are still people who think and talk this way about 50% of the world's population.

omg, right, that "lol" was meant to collide with the  standards you criticize,
that girl connection with art i try to establish might be disrespectful, and my talking really just turns the dagger more, so, are there any girls around who want to comment?!

Yes. I'm generally a lurker but I have to say they way you talk in this thread is indeed pretty off-putting.

 :sad1: right, i understand, hearing from dudes sounds in my eyes weird, but i agree that my attitude is a wrong approach, i just talked to one of the girls, and she said that the girls in general in this circumstance are a distraction from the overall good content, and it would really be just nice without additional ingredient will think about it, and improve, promised

We're having a lively discussion about this in deviantArt's #aposhack channel, and can generally agree that:

1. If something like this happens, at least have some equality and put some guys in gold underwear for the ladies (obviously this is not my suggestion, and actually some fractal girls are pretty keen on that  ;D)
2. The resulting event is hardly about fractals... why not cut to the chase and just head to a strip-club?


I like naked ladies as much as the next guy, but this cheesy sexualised fractal prizegiving probably works against our "greater interests", like say, having a respectable/classy fractal scene for all.

but ok, back to the event ( @lyc me in golden underpants as a finalisation for distraction will follow for sure )
so, right before the show, video footage will take another day to finish, thank you all for that great opportunity!

I doubt that Christian's superficial show-oriented presentation might serve some "greater interests", but I know for sure, that your joyless complaint does not serve anything except your vanity. Must say that I understand Kali's offenses and if someone has a problem with that, I will follow him.
I hope your chronic dissatisfaction won't infest the Fractal Symposium next year.

Why would I be dissatisfied? Oh well...

Edit: I think my views about promotional models (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotional_model), podium girls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podium_girl) and "booth babes" (http://www.forbes.com/sites/lauraheller/2013/08/01/ces-updates-policy-to-discourage-booth-babes/) are not exactly out of this world, and chose to say something about the girls we should apparently be "getting beers into". As I already said in my post, if speaking my mind (about such matters which I feel are actually quite important) makes me "that guy", so be it...

people, everything is fine, i was unhappy with that first comment as well, but i hope the general video footage will make up for it, showing that there is nothing over-sexual or something to be afraid of, they where the assistants, and the golden bikini was really someone joined us at the party, as you might see there is nothing over-sexual, beside wearing a golden bikini ABOVE the clothing they did a well job handling the prizes! she was hanging around at the party place and i really just asked her to join us! a female nerd you can say....

@taurus and lycium has in the most cases some point, that somehow seems coming out kind of arrogant, but people, it is in no way any reason for starting any flames or wars here on this place (especially from moderators) !!!

From reading this post I have discovered further evidence that Christian is evidently very much human, and all who have replied to this post are as well.

 This fact, does in fact, not surprise me overly much. So let’s celebrate being human. Hooray. Keep up the good work you wonderful diverse bunch of humans. All that should be expected is that we all try to grow into even better humans and fulfill the human potential , whatever the hell that is, so I guess we must just keep on thinking and experimenting towards infinity in the hope of figuring it out.

Less IMPORTANTLY ,  I find the gold shirt offensive as it is a blatant  symbol of the wasteful opulence of the ruling class.  Riches obtained from the sweat (not literally) of the oppressed honest humble worker.  I think that next year all participants should be denied any choice, and will be ordered to wear identical, non-flattering, asexual potato sacks. That will make all of us remaining humble workers, who cannot afford to attend, a lot happier.

Obviously the civility level of a symposium and a party are going to be different. Also the excitement level. I hope to see videos of each.

here you go, official thread in the chastube gallery section
