If the world was like Chief Delphi...

[Jessica Boucher]

If the world was like the ChiefDelphi forums....

...I would be able to rep people on anything they did. Talk too much about yourself? Name-drop too much? Bam, negative rep. Send me a birthday card? Say "hi" to me on the street? Definitely positive rep. Little red/green boxes would float above their head for all to see.

...I would be able to filter out stuff I didn't care about paying attention to. Of course, according to this article, we already can. At least, anyone still in the 18-34 advertising bracket can.

...I would actually be able to wink, since my face contorts all weird ways when I try to do it. Also, along these lines, all I would need to do is think :: cool :: and my sunglasses would be on my face.

Yeah, you know it's time for a weird thread when the end of the week in the summer rolls around

Everybody would wear the same clothes every day...
...or at least until a picture moderator approves the who-am-i change of clothes.

[Lisa Perez]

If the world was like Chief Delphi...

... Brandon could fix all

... People wouldn't need to ask how you're doing - they'd just look at your avatar

... The food of the day would always be a Chief Deli sandwich

... You wouldn't need to ask others what year they are in school - you'd just look at the rookie year, also above their heads

Everyday at 5:47am we will have to stop what we're doing and write down everything we did in the past 24 hours just in case we forget.

Those that have made great comments will have them hovering above them with a spotlight on them for all to see.

Almost everyone's family tree will contain at least one "V-Neun".

[Joe Matt]

There would be more Mac users.

Dave Lavery would be the leader of Las Vegas.

[EddieMcD]

...we'd have a popularity contest which often holds back people from speaking their mind (alright, it's called the Presidential Election, but that's not the point).

On the non-pointmaking side of things:

...I'd be quizzing everyone at 10pm EST (cheap plug).

...The majority of us would've legally changed our name to John-V-Neun.

...The Holy Order of FIRSTism would be a major religion (and Dean Kamen would be god).

...FIRST-a-holics Anonymous would be filled up every session.

...Mountain Dew would be currency.

...MissInformation would be in charge of the plastic surgery (sorry, best real world metaphor I could come up with to describe her often hilarious photoshop antics).

...We'd all be discussing crazy things, among them "If the world was like ::insert title here::..."

[MikeDubreuil]

- After everyone finishes speeking they would go on for a few more moments on all the FIRST events they've attended and awards they have won.

- Moderators would halt my conversations

[Elgin Clock]

There would be a forum for help on everything and everything in the world..
Car troubles? Ask the forums!
Relationship troubles? Ask the forums!
Technical questions about school? Ask the forums!

OK, OK, you get the picture...

Chief Delphi is a most valuable service. I wish a similar forum existed for every topic under the sun that people need help on.
(Instead of just putting all my "other" questions in CD's Chit Chat section..)

(Oh, and your password and username would be the same for all of them..)
Brandon.. get on that will you???

[MissInformation]

People would no longer type with their fingers and keyboards would be redesigned to better suit noses, toes, tongues (flavored keyboards there!) chins, etc.

I would be constantly picking on Dave.

People would be more eager to help out, offer advice and encourage each other to better things... not a bad world, that.

Isn't that already the case here, Heidi ?

If the world was like Chief Delphi, there would suddenly be a bigger demand for crates with inside dimensions of 36"x30"x60".

...Walking around wearing red and blue paint and a funky wig would be considered normal.

...Pepsi-Cola's shares would skyrocket.

...People would be able to call people out (with cause, of course), and not leave with a bloody nose.

...Children would be born with a silver joystick in their hand.

[Jeff Waegelin]

... any time you made a comment to someone, they would send you a note back asking why (curse that darned reputation PM system )

... noone would ever get anything done, because they were too busy playing word games and typing their names with their _____s

[Katie Reynolds]

... People would only show 14 facial expressions

... A thumbs up sign would appear over someone's head whenever they agreed with you. Make that "thumbs down" if they disagree.

[Lisa Perez]

... Forget all the bibliographies and MLA standards required for writing reports... Just click on the "Quote" button

... Botox? Psh. Just click on "Disable smilies"

... How about foot-in-mouth? Have no fear, the "Delete post" button is here

You know, my Dad's quote in his HS yearbook adressed that issue perfectly.

It was: "A closed mouth attracts no feet."

So, here is my modern version of that: :-X
