Who is Car Nack?
 
I know I'm not much short of a noob to F.I.R.S.T. but who is Car Nack? :confused: I have a suspicion your name is a reference to John Carmack, is this true? Are his predictions to be trusted? Where are the Endless Sands?

These are dire questions, please answer them, the fate of our world hangs in the balance.

Thanks, Comatose

Car Nack is the friendly neighborhood sage, who predicts how various elements of the current game will turn out. He is often right, though he has been known to be wrong on rare occasions. Asking his real name (he has one?) results in great ignorance. As for the Endless Sands and the possible reference in the name, only Car Nack can tell you for sure. Rumor says that Car Nack will be at the St. Louis Regional, but finding Car Nack may be difficult at best. Maybe his camel can tell you where to find him.

Car Nack may claim to dwell among the endless sands, but I suspect tomorrow morning he'll be digging his camel out of the drifting lake-effect snow. ;)

Yes, Car Nack generally makes a few predictions per year and they're almost always right from my experience.

I too have wondered who he is, and where the endless sands are

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 
Hmm, seems to me Car Nack and his penchant for postulating and pondering is probably based on Car Nac The Magnificent, a Johnny Carson character from the Tonight Show (now the host is Jay Leno).

So either its someone who is old enough to have watched that show, or someone who has a keen interest in trivia or pop culture references, or maybe both!

I've always assumed it was a nod to the Egyptian Temple.

That said, our Car Nack is pretty good at what he/she does.:rolleyes:

If you do enough searching on these forums, you can figure out who he/she is.

If I remember right, Car Nack had a few login issues last year that you may be able to find. Or am I thinking of someone else?

You are thinking of Looking Forward...or are they the same person? :D

Bill Beatty. First thread about it can be found here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=41760 but you can search for more.

Those that know the inner sanctum know where the shifting sands lie. Although as Richard pointed out above, they can only be found this time of year below a few feet of lake effect snow (of which Richard is getting a first person experience!) Welcom to southwest Michigan Richard.

So this is what you were ranting about last night. I'm glad that people have started to answer you and you can stop yelling.

Hey, I'm going to St. Louis this year! How will I discern who is the great Car Nack?

The wisdom of great Car Nack will shine forth like a beacon.

From his pit shall emerge an awesome BEAST.

Only he can reveal himself! There is only one true Car Nac.

Go to the pit overflowing with awesomeness. There he resides like a great king who rules all that he surveys (aka team 71's pit).
