greg has asked us (members of staff) to communicate such things. I doubt he'll object against a thing like this.

There is a way, after all, it has been posted in topics. However, it's a nasty job to get everything sorted. I simply don't have the time to do it. A conservative estimate would be 60 - 70 hours work to get it done. It's not just a question of finding all greg's quotes, it's also a question of reading the conversations.

Wouldn't it be very nice that some MOD or admin could open a topic called "Quotes from Greg that everyone can read"? Now one just happens to pick up some information here and there, never knowing whether it is accurate or complete.

Just so that everyone can have the same basic knowledge to start from!

actually a good idea, but if you have actually read the quotes from him, his english sometimes isnt that easy to understand and half the time creates more questions than it answers!

I'm bursting with good ideas ;)

And even if this creates more questions than answers, we could still try to deduce it to basic knowledge (meybe with some back-up from MOD-forum.


@Schepel: 60-70 hours of work means that in 2 months time we can have a full list of ideas if you spend one hour a day. Or if you activate langhe we can have it in one week, he doesn't have anything better to do anyhow :p

I know a way how to get greg quotes from lets say one thread in a few minutes time maximum...Easy. But sorting them is another thing.
Still don`t see a point to publish greg sayings. They are not that important that you can`t run a successful club. I think some regular users know more about sokker than I do. I just use what is useful. For example: what I should do with the information about training %? doesn`t really matter if friendly gives you 70, 80 or 90% of training etc..

You think you do? Try it mate. There are two topics (at least) with roughly 20 pages each. (Counting greg's posts only.) With a lot of posts where greg just says 'yes' or 'no'. Good luck sorting that out in a few minutes.

Well, you know, some day a cup of guys said "hey, why don't we put those Jesus' sayings together in a book or something?" and look at us now. So I'd rather do the task than question its purpose. Greg works in mysterious ways :P

but if you have actually read the quotes from him, his english sometimes isnt that easy to understand and half the time creates more questions than it answers!


That's even better! Let His Word be known to all but its meaning to remain a mystery. And then let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the training...

ROFL.

if someone actually took all his quotes and put them in a book im pretty sure you could sell copies of it actually..
would be like one of those game walkthrough guides!

So this is the new way of making money for Sokker =)

You'd have to sell the book 'This isn't Polish. Honestly!' alongside it. The true hit would however be: 'greg: what does he mean?'

for it is a human number, and that number is somewhat between 85% and 95%

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for greg is with me; his coding and his communication, they comfort me.

OR:

The path of the righteous Sokkerplayer is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And the admins will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my users. And you will know my name is greg when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Pulp Fiction :D

hahaha great topic development!
