User talk:Magic man/Team Black Magical Frozen Mammoths' article

We need to discuss what kind of article we want to write. Let the discussion BEGIN! -- 17:53, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I have got those ideas:

• Horseshoe throwing (quite a sport I may say)
• Mini-Putt
• A rewrite of golf

Mattsnow 03:22, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Good ideas, all of them. I especially like the Mini-Putt idea (although I'm quite positive it's either called mini-golf or putt-putt, not a combination of the two). We could make it sound like an intense sport, or something... -- 15:34, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Do you have ideas bro? I feel mine are not that good, except for maube mini-golf... Mattsnow 19:38, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well actually, I see we have to write two articles. So why don't you and I write an article together, and Black Flamingo and Oliphaunte write an article together. Then, when we're all finished, let each pair look a the other's article, to make finishing touches. That way we'll have longer to work on each article, and there won't be to many cooks in the kitchen, if you know what I mean. Or if you'd rather go with BF or Oliphaunte, that's cool, too. Just an idea. -- 02:41, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Good, we could write mii-golf. We have until when already? Mattsnow 12:59, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Do we have to write two at once? Otherwise we may as well all just join in. --Black Flamingo 13:55, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Mattsnow, we have until the seventh. Black flamingo, I just thought it was an efficient way to write two articles, which we do have to do. -- 14:00, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

We have to produce 2 articles for the 7th?!?! Ouch, then we'll do as Magic Man says, without refraining to go add something to the other gang's article if a good idea presents itself! I started the mini-golf thing lol, I think what you said about it being an extreme sport gave me some ideas MM! Mini-golf Mattsnow 19:13, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

I'm game for the horseshoe idea as a HowTo. Let me know what you guys decide though it not horseshoe. I'll be in the corner... --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   21:18, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I already started Mini-golf, so I think we should get something else than a sport... Mattsnow 21:42, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, I just looked at the rules, we have to have 2 articles for the 7th :/. The mini-golf one is underway, how about Oliphaunte and BF start one on their side? We'll do it!!! Mattsnow 21:48, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, this is going well so far. But you need to move the article into mainspace, because the rules say so, Mattsnow. Oliphaunte and Black flamingo, with me and Mattsnow working on Mini-golf, you two need to decide what article to write between yourselves, and write it. Good luck. -- 22:10, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

OK, I didit :) Go have a shot at it when you want: Mini-golf Mattsnow 22:22, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Oliphaunte and BF, give the link of your article when you start it, in case we have some stuff to add ;). And let's talk about the collab here exclusively, so we know what's happening. Maybe an UnNews? Since we started a bit late, an UnNews would be faster. Just saying! Mattsnow 22:39, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

This is the product when I'm half-drunk half-asleep. I kind of had a "let's do it! ARGHHH" attitude after I put my comment up. Perhaps a different idea from BF11 would be better... --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   06:28, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

LOL! Good job Oliphaunte, I added a little something to it. Mattsnow 12:22, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, MM, I put an image request on well, Image requests. (for the mini-golf article) It would be cool if you could do it! Mattsnow 14:06, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to wait to hear BF11's opinion of horseshoe. One thing about mini-putt though, I don't think having a youtube clip is a good idea. Most people here don't like them in articles and the judges are some of those people. Also, might want to photoshop the "FAIL" from that last picture... --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   14:37, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

Good! Could you also photoshop that "fail" out, MM? Mattsnow 19:12, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I'm late, been on my summer hols in preparation. Got buried in the sand by a mate and was stuck there for a week. What did I miss? --Black Flamingo 13:55, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hi BF! BTW, it's great that boyfriend got featured! OK, we have to finish these 2 by the 7th (included): User:Oliphaunte/HowTo: Play Horseshoe and mini-golf. I'll concentrate a bit on mini-golf, maybe you'd better get on a horseshoe! Errr... Anyway, let's do this! Mattsnow 14:26, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

I'll have some time on Sat and Sun to come on properly (I'm at work now), so I'll see what I can do for both over the weekend. --Black Flamingo 15:37, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

LOL, I like where mini-golf is going! Could you stamp out the "fail" in the pic, MM? And you really don't thing including putters in the staredown pic would be good? I think it would be hilarious! :) Mattsnow 21:47, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

HAHAHA Good job with the changes on the horseshoe throwing thing! Mini-golf is almost finalized, feel free to proofread/add/delete/express yourself on how bad it is/kick me in the groin/ etc. And do you think we should keep the small video at the end, BF? Oliphaunte thinks we shouldn't, I don't know what to think. Mattsnow 12:35, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

I think we should keep the video. Who cares if the judges don't like it? We shouldn't be trying to please the judges; we should be trying to write a funny article. Funny is funny, and that's funny. -- 15:00, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Bwahahaha the hole-in-one race!!! Awesome idea MM, and yeah, I think we should keep the video, but at the end of the article, without talking about it in the text. A sort of "bonus" if you will. BTW, this happened in Quebec when I was like 10 (like 20 years ago) I was watching mini-golf religiously on TV, and the commentator was always like that, describing this as if he was describing the Super Bowl LOL So it's now 2 for 1 against for the vid, what do you think BF? Also, if you guys happen to see I or another member are online, go on IRC if you want, it will make it easier to communicate. We have a cool team. Mattsnow 17:42, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hey MM, the pic you did is AMAZING, however, could you erase the hand of the black man or put a putter in it? Just erase it, it is already lulzy enough! Mattsnow 23:02, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Er... what do you mean? Do you mean I erase his whole arm or just the hand? And why do you want me to erase it? I DON'T GET IT! -- 23:09, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not really a fan of videos in Uncyc articles but you can keep it if you want. It is humorous. --Black Flamingo 15:01, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Next round

We'll certainly make it to the next round! I propose that if (when) we nominate articles on VFH ( I am sure some are gonna make it, if not all of them (4 for votes to start with ain't nothing to fuck with!)), we award each member of the group with half a nom. MM contributed greatly to mini-golf. What do you think? And please post things for the first round above this section, or I'll come haunt you in your nightmares! (I'll do it. For sure...) Mattsnow 19:05, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, so for this round I think we should switch up the groups. So why don't I go with Oliphaunte, and Mattsnow, you can go with Black flamingo. -- 22:30, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, great suggestion, MM, if (we will!) make it to next round, Oliphaunte-Mattsnow, MM-BF. Of course everybody is welcome to add stuff on anybody's article, this is just for the sake of efficiency Mattsnow 00:41, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

I think the teams would be better that way since I already collabed with BF (and reached Internet superstardom) and I'd like to collab with Oliphaunte, a sympathical hobo. But eh, he is huge. Mattsnow 00:44, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind who I go with (that's what she said), but if Magic and I teamed up we could be called "Black Magic" and that's cool. --Black Flamingo 14:42, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Or we could be Magic flamingo, black man or Flamingo man. -- 16:23, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hey MM, don't you dare make jokes here! The Internets are serious BIZNESS! I think it's a wrap all the way, horseshoes is amazing! Let's make some small touches, see if we're gonna get raped and catch our breath until the next round, MM, how about that fucking hand, says the dictator perfectionist in me, or if you can't do it, that is all cool! The pic was amazing before, you turned it into even more than amazing, I'm an ass Mattsnow 17:16, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

I am impressed, 3 days ago I thought: "Well, sadly, nobody cares, no way we will have 2 articles." Not only do we have 2, but we have 2 good one! :D Who felt like me 3 days ago? Mattsnow 17:29, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

I sure did. -- 22:14, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

This judging intermission is brought to you by the FBI Mattsnow 10:33, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

We only have 3 daysI have been successfully trolled on my TP. We have until the 24th (Ouf!)! I just don't know! Go see on the forum

So I think your option is great BF, talk about it wit MM of course and Oliphaunte, I am starting HowTo:Strength Train. I have done a great deal on it. If you don't like the topic, I'll just shelve this and we start one we agree on. It kinda sucks the judges have 7 days to do their stuff and we have 3, but we can do it! Mattsnow 23:24, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Also, we could nom our 2 articles for the first round on VFH. Waddya think? Mattsnow 06:31, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I think we've pretty much won comparing our scores to everyone else. I like the concept...I'll need to think about it later in this day though. I say we wait for the contest to end and actually spend non-deadline time looking at them to make sure. Judges said the horse one wasn't finished, so maybe we should look into things like that. --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   14:53, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Latest news! There's gonna be a 2nd round with 7 days to write! (see the forum) So what do you think Oliphaunte, should we continue HowTo:Train to look your best this summer while MM and BF take another topic? Mattsnow 21:52, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

You can nom them if you like but it would be invalid. I want to put Horseshoes through pee review first anyway. --Black Flamingo 16:08, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

As per BF11 in regards to nom. I think strength training will work, but right now, it is a little too disturbing for me, I dunno, those images just...god...Anyways, I'll look some stuff up and add some of my own stuff in a bit. --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   18:56, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

LOL' Go ahead Oliphaunte! Unless you'd want to start another topic entirely, which is no problem with me, I'll just go with da flow! (I changed the title btw) Mattsnow 00:32, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Where we are standing at

I feel the HowTo:Train to look your best this summer could stand as an article, but then again that would be awesome to have improvements. BF, please add yours there. We're the best plain and simple. Mattsnow 17:41, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Sure. Soon as I get a spare moment. Which will be... uh... err... hmm. --Black Flamingo 19:27, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hanhan, but can you spare that link? Mattsnow 20:54, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

What, this? --Black Flamingo 21:02, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ideas for next round, post'em here! (let's steer away from ridiculous sports)

• Tanning
• Howto:Operate a bicycle
• Campfires (or HowTo:Conduct a campfire)
• Forest fires (it would be cool to make subtle references to FFW week here)
• Blackberry - a sort of mash-up between the popular fruit and the smartphone.
• Asteriod Belt - a garment of celestial bodies used for keeping your trousers up.
• Why?:Am I not outside on a nice day like this? (And it's on the requested articles list, so that's extra points)
• UnNews:Bin Laden not dead, vacationing in Hell (Same as above)
• Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! (As an UnBooks: UnBooks:Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!, as a HowTo: HowTo:Have fun, as a Why?: Why?:Have Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN?)
• Skin Cancer or
• Sunburns (could all be part of tanning)
• HowTo:Train to look your best this summer - a ridiculous and dangerous handbook on how to look your best this summer!
• By some weird coincidence, I've started on a rewrite of Sun, like a couple of days ago. What I've got so far is here. It'd be great if you guys wanted to take over with that, given that it's Summer themed and all. Your call obviously.
