Go to Post If we can transform our culture to the point where girls swoon over guys as they pull their dremel off their belt and carve some speed holes in a smooth fluid motion, I think FIRST is half way to its goal. When we get the guys to swoon over the girls for their hot moves on the 5-axis, we have won. - EricVanWyk [more]

Re: Looking Forward's real identiy

What if Looking Forward is really a bunch of people acting in concert? Each one knows their region best, but the combined output makes it seem like a single person has incredible prediction skills?

Oh, LF = Lot's o' Folks?

Still, there's one individual composing the posts.

Right, Joe?

That's what I suspect. One person (I've got a guess who, but I'm probably wrong) has the account and compiles the final post, then posts it. I also have guesses as to some of his/her helpers. (At least two of my suspects have been mentioned.)

Thats it! Its Arefin!!!! You're tricky trying to pull a fast one on us like that man!

On a serious note: if you didn't know, there is a group of people collaborating for this. So there is a possibility that EVERYONE in this thread that has been mentioned is involved, but does it really matter who the identity of LF is?

Honestly, we all want to know where our robots rank and where our favorite/friends' robots rank as well and as long as we're getting that we shouldn't complain about where the information comes from (because we KNOW it is reliable) and we know that they are not doing anything that is against anyone either.

Get on with your life and please forget about who this LF is! IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! The people that need to know, already KNOW!

Probably,(as in bit your ear probably).

In the post ti says "we", statistics wise it would take too long to do with one person, and it is fairly obvious from looking at the post that there is probably more than one person working on this.

I didn't say there was one person solo. I did say something about "helpers", did I not? I didn't specify how much help, did I?

And the word "probably" was referring to my guess as to the identity of the account holder.

Clarification, my probably was referring to there being more than one person.
I did not say I you said there was only one person, or that you specified how much help.
When I said "in the post", I was referring to the post by Looking Forward.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Re: Looking Forward's real identiy

To anyone that wonders why we are debating who it is and claims that it does not matter: It is a mystery. It is a game. It is just for fun. I don't think anyone here actually cares who it is. They just care about figuring it out. If LF was to come forward with his identity very few people would actually care. The only good of figuring it out is to figure it out on your own.

Will the real Looking Forward please stand up!

Opps, I think I just gave my age away with that line, didn't I?

Anyways, I can tell you now that the real Looking Forward is Dave Lavery!
