Ganza 2012!!!!! Go....go...go...go!!!! (NOT!)

[Jaxx]

You know where to find me, little man

Seriously though, I don't see the humor in the fake "Go's" and understand why people get pissed.

Get used to it.

I realize that the multiple Jerries are a pain in the katookis for the new guys. . . . and they're an even bigger pain for the girls in the office when they try to sort through the hundreds of emails. . . . But gosh darn it, I like the deceitful little porkers!!! :thumbup: They exemplify the true spirit of the INFI HOGs . . . . They stay!!!. . . "NO REGRETS!"

Amidst the flood of BloodBathaGanzaaaa emails were a number of emails that were filled with questions about the mysterious Man/Beast. . .The INFI HOG. . . . I will answer those here. . . .

Q: What is the true meaning of the cloven hoof salute?

A: The cloven hoof salute means, "I will trample you on the way to the trough and I will wipe my muddy, bloody cloven hooves on your INFI-less carcass as I return home with the spoils of war!!!" Thus the reason we make the up and down motion with our hoof during the salute. . . it emulates the trampling and the wiping of the hoof on your fellow HOG!. . .

Q: Why is "NO REGRETS" the battle cry of the INFI HOG????

A: The phrase "No Regrets" can mean either "Yowza! You just trampled the truffles right out of me on the way to the trough. . . . but I'm okay with that." Or, "Yowza! I just trampled the truffles right out of you on the way to the trough, and I'm okay with that!" . . . See? It works either way. . . Just like "aloha" which can mean both "hello" and "goodbye". . . . It's the aloha of the HOG or the AloHOG if you will. . . . NO REGRETS!!!!!. . . :thumbup:

Q: Isn't it unfair to use deceit and treachery to score a knife from under the snout of a fellow HOG?

A: Deceit and treachery are the tools of the INFI HOG . . . If you take them away, it is like declawing and defanging a lion and then expecting him to still be an effective hunter. . . he won't be. . . he will starve!

You can't know the sublime joy of HOGDOM until you make it to a show and experience burning your fellow HOGs, live and in person. . . Here's how it usually goes. . . A knife is soon to be offered. . . you drop a contact lense and start crawling around on the floor asking people to be careful where they step. . . You surface in front of the table with the crowd behind you still trying to help find your imaginary contact lense. . . . The knife is offered. . . In a flashbang of monumental proportions with blood, beer, cigars, and half of the HOGs still looking around on the floor for your lense. . . it is over!. . . The smoke clears and you stand victorious with your newest chunk O' INFI in hand . . .errrr. . . in hoof. A hush quickly overtakes the trough as they realize what has just happened, and you walk victoriously through the gauntlet of slackjawed HOGs who, slowly but surely, applaud their own demise from under your cloven hoof because your Pork Fu was stronger. . . You return to the relative safety of your hotel room where you slide your new INFI blade out of its cardboard sleeve, causing the smell of burnt bacon to fill the room, and you know, that at that moment in time, you are the king of the trough, the alpha boar who ate his own. . . . you are at that moment in time, a HOG of legend!

Nuke on my wayward HOGs!

Jerry

Hug to the piglets. I feel your pain. Just part of the price of admission to the Trough

But if it is part of the fun, why did fake Jerry #40 get banned?

 

[Chuka]

Now THAT made me laugh. What a guy, that Jerry. Keep it up, leader of the Hogs!

That is a good question.
Under the rules of BladeForums, duplicate and "troll" accounts aren't permitted. Despite this, in the past these accounts have been "allowed" to exist as it's been a tradition here for some time...and as long as these "fake Jerry" accounts are only used in this forum and nowhere else on BladeForums. Allowed is in parentheses though as this does not mean that those who have them have the right...if you get my drift. Think 'overlooked' as opposed to 'legally permitted'.

Thank you for mentioning it! I didn't notice and have asked about it.

 

[dericdesmond]

I guess it was you then...

Nope, Was to busy f5in ; )

 

[Wharn]

I love that Q & A Jerry quote that Jaxx posted.

 

[knife hunter]

LMAO! I guess its a good thing I quit my job yesterday, got drunk and didnt show up for the ganza!

Cause I was thinking the whole way home how much fun unlocking an old "Real Jerry" go thread and being able to edit the title would be on the newbs!

I guess that will have to wait til NEXT TIME!

 

[soontobetwo]

Is it really necessary to email again after the official go ( if you were fooled like me)? According to the instruuctions you will be put at the end of the line if you send early. I am a day late now so is it worth a try?

Like Eric and Jaxx said, it's just part of the game. I've fallen for it in the past too. No regrets, just enjoy!

Whats funny is I dont see any humor in this kind of crap either. I dont have all dam day to sit by my computer to try to get a knife. This is bull s$%t. It can be rediculous enough to try to get a knife, then this crap happens, some people work all day, and sometimes all night. I saw the post and responded, so I guess I got screwed because someone has to much time on their hands. Thanks!!!!

Send your e-mail at the default time of 9:55 and you'll be in more often than not. You don't have to have fun.

 

[Sethrotull]

Wow! I think this is the most upset people I have seen falling for a fake GO. It happens it's part getting (or not getting) a knife.

If you don't like the game don't get involved. I have fallen for it but you live and learn and hopefully next time you get in.

Don't any of you have siblings that have pulled a fast one on you or you have pulled one on them?

Let all go out and have a drink. I am buying "Tidal Waves" for everyone.

Ya, I have had siblings and others pull a fast one on me, when I was in high school. Past that now, its kind of a dumb immature game to play, at least I think. Maybe I wont get into these things anymore, Its easier to go buy a bark river. Just wanted some scrapyard elmax.

 

[BePrepared]

half the fun of a Ganza is the competition. If it was all about buying a knife, they'd just post them on their website until they were sold.

the competition and the dirty tricks, are part of the hog tradition. If you don't like it, don't play. Just wait until they go up on the secondary market

and that's all there is to that

I can understand your view point. It would be frustrating to have fake go's and even with Jerry warning about them, most people may not realize it or fall for a fake one (Since there are many tricks). I know I did one time and I was proxying for someone and not myself. But I sent another email after the go and I was able to help my friend out. The thing with the fakes is that this forum is place full of friends and family that always welcome new people and like to give each other a rough time. It just comes with the territory. Hopefully you'll be able to hang around and get to know the great people here.

:thumbup: A lot of people apparently get butt-hurt about the Ganzas. If you fall for a fake Jerry there's nothing that says you can't resend the same email after the real Jerry posts.

That's just it... You are not "disqualified", nor penalized in any way for firing off early. Nor is there anything about only being able to send one email per email addy... If this were the case, I doubt anyone would be amused, including Jerry. So, best thing to do is either open the thread and check if the OP's name is in RED, or take a shot, check to see if you were right, and if not, then pick yourself up off the floor and get to know my 2 friends... Copy & Paste (a new email together as quick as ya can ) and continue waiting for the real GO.

Which knives did you attempt to purchase in the Ganza?

Is that a common problem in Tennessee? Never heard of that.
