No, but his real name is unknown because he forgot it. He always used to remember his name because it was written on his shoes, but he threw his shoes away when he no longer needed them.

Sixth Post: Zonic On Zonic's off-time he likes to hang out with Tales, his favorite food is chili fries, he lives on Mobious, his major annoyance is Aimee, and his main enemy is Eggdude. Metal Zonic coming soon. On a side note, it's going to be hard as HELL to sprite Zonic.

Fourth Post: Eggdude He plans on conquering Station Circle. One thing Eggdude ABSOLUTELY hates is facial hair and absolutely HATES Zonic and Tales for having fur on their face, thus starting the on going fued between them. He once tricked Nuckles to take the rubies from Zonic and was captured by freedom fighters that shrunk his head.

Third Post: Legs An ironic nickname he was given by everyone is Legs. On Leg's off-time he likes to hang out with Tales and Zonic, his favorite food is chili fries, he lives on Mobious, his major annoyance is Aimee, and his main enemy is Eggdude. He is sort of like Zonic's brother. He uses his arms to propel him at super sonic speeds.

Second Post: Knuckless Knuckless favorite food is raisins, he is a friendly nemesis to Zonic and Tales. He was tricked by Eggdude that Zonic and Tales were trying to steal the Master Ruby, but later found out and kicked Eggdude's butt by kicking him in the face. He lives on the floating continent. He can't fight, because his fists are soft and like pillows. It makes him mad, turning him from a redish color to Magenta.

First post: Miles "Copter-head" Prower Copter-head hates his nickname and requests everyone to call him Tales. He uses his tails on his head to fly like a helicopter. Tales usually hangs out with Zonic and when Zonic's not eating his favorite food Chilifries, he's usually bloated because they give him gas. So Tales has to go out and fight eggdude's assault on mobious along with Nuckles. He hates Nuckles, because he always calls him Copter-Head.

This topic is getting the big lock. If we go on to the next round, we will get 60 votes. That's my goal and without incentives. Even if we don't hit it, we will still prove that we did not get 40 votes due to incentives.

They're ok, but everyone gets bored with their games. I usually take a good break from them and I eventually get the urge to play them again.

If we move on I'll obliterate the records with 60 votes next time without incentives or anything. I swear it! Not to win, but just to prove to the ZB staff that we didn't get that 40 from incentives. Muahahahaha!!!

There is nothing ugly about it, just a mountain out of a mole hill. Hazel mistakenly thought our huge amounts of votes was because we offered an incentive when in fact the community was not told about this contest until the VG Finale. We messed up and we got penalized, ok it's over. The discussion is over.

HazelZNSB Jan 31 2009, 07:03 PM Hi, Hazel - Community Mod from the Zathyus Network Support board here. 1st things first. Lets not threaten Nicola. She didn't make this decision, the staff as a whole did. I actually wanted you disqualified. The main reason for this? It was more than obvious to me, based on the amount of votes received in previous rounds, that the main reason members of this board voted was because they were offered something in return. Your board broke the rules and you are very lucky to be docked only 10 votes. What would have happened had the other boards been allowed to offer this? The TZ would have offered a skin, the harry potter forum could have offered a bonus something or other. The main point here is fairness. It is not fair on the others who entered to allow you to go unpunished. 2nd. I was lurking earlier, not the person you think pointed us in this direction. I was also here when the underage discussion was going on so those posts were deleted a little too late. That's something I'll discuss with the admin. Well I see how that would look bad, yes, however looks can be deceiving. On the first point, I never even told the members about this contest until the Video Game Finals and I told them after the start of that round had begun. So we only got maybe 8 votes in the first few rounds, because no one here was voting for us in that competition. We had 28 in the VG Final because I decided it would be cool to see if we could actually compete and told people about it. On the second point, we do not allow that kind of discussion here so it was deleted. Sonic Blast does not knowingly accumulate any information from members under 13 years.

$:\$ It doesn't matter if they didn't care or not... It was still an incentive, but we definitely didn't coerce them or encourage them to cheat...

Financial Crisis

I see what you mean about the market, but that is just a new thing as of last year. I'd like to say things will get better, but unlikely... Especially with this bogus stimulus plan... It didn't work the first time and it's not going to work this time, all it will do is make inflation go up HIGHER. Well in all fairness old games used to be more expensive. Not because of developing costs, but the medium they put it on. Plus with inflation now games back then, in reality, cost much more than just the numbers you see on them today. I don't think prices of consoles will rise though.... The reason PS3 was so expensive is it used brand new technology. When PS4 comes out Blu Ray will be relatively cheap and they're likely going to use a beefed up Cell processor so no need for R&D to design a new chip. 360 wasn't all that expensive either. Sure it was more than $299 but that's because of inflation.
