King of the Zeros! - AKA The Official Rules Gathering for the upcoming ZERO THROWDOWN!!!!

[deguerre]

***MOD NOTE***

This thread is being intentionally hijacked in order to come up with the official rules for the upcoming ZERO THROWDOWN! I am placing this notice here to advise readers just now opening this thread for the first time that they can post their own rules so long as they do so in this manner:

The first rule will be #1, and will go in sequential order upwards in whole number increments (by one digit). You must put your rule number before your rule, and make sure the number you use is the next number in sequence, otherwise I will have my way with your silly little rule and you may or may not like my edits.

I'll start.

#1 - Anyone can participate.

**END MOD NOTE, We now return you to Guerry's original post***

Now that I have, ahem, SEVEN zeros, two using ribeye no less (King me baby!:bow:) I think there should be another shot at having a special Zero TD sometime this winter season. It could be a great cabin fever reliever.

Thoughts?

[tburda]

Since I've competed in two TD's, and I have two zeros, I would wholeheartedly participate. I've actually got some confidence i might break my streak in the it came from the sea TD. I might get a vote or two!

[colonel00]

How would a Zero TD function? Or is it just limited to Zero Club members?

[deguerre]

I don't think it should be limited to Zero holders, but perhaps inspired by a Zero entry. Special rules could be involved for those entries by zero holders however...we'll have to trust Bigabyte and Gore for the math though...

[Redhot]

That would be interesting. I like the "inspired by a zero entry" rule but how would you go about looking all of those up?

[Al Czervik]

I would vote for making it a "Special Throwdown" for Zero holders only... Kinda like the FNG ones we have every now and then... Many of us worked pretty hard for our zeros :roll: and I think we deserve a little special attention... :becky:

I brought this up a while ago, then it fizzled out:

www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96611 (http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96611)

I definitely think participants should be limited to those who have received at least one Zero in the past. The looming question is, what are the parameters of this TD category?

I think a good start may be for each person to show a pic of a past Zero entry, then remake it, with the intention of it being an improvement upon the Zero entry..

Here's one of my past Zero's:

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/Pashn8one/IMG_0289-1.jpg

I think I could improve upon this...at least one would hope!

[deguerre]

I forgot about the Rooky, Virgin and FNG TDs. Good point! Limit to zero holders.

And as to Moose's idea, I could definitely improve on this...

http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/picture.php?groupid=39&pictureid=2339


It was very tasty but execution and presentation could have been a wee bit, um...

[Moose]

Agreed, Guerry! I'm all over this, plus I think it will be fun.

[Wrench_H]

One other small twist, each zero holder can submit as many entries as they have zeros, but they each have to be based on a different zero.

[Al Czervik]

I'm going to have a hard time improving on this...:heh:

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc150/bigabyte/Throwdowns_2011/Special_Summer_of_SPAM/1780175_Al_Czervik_2.jpg

Both of my zeros came in the Spam TD so I'd be starting at a distinct disadvantage if we can only improve on previous entries... :doh:

[caseydog]

I would vote for making it a "Special Throwdown" for Zero holders only... Kinda like the FNG ones we have every now and then... Many of us worked pretty hard for our zeros :roll: and I think we deserve a little special attention... :becky:

I agree, only zero club members can enter.

Now, is the goal of this TD to win, or get a zero. :confused:

If this is the case, I'm now starting with an distinct advantage... :heh:

If we have to redo one of our zero entries, I think all I need to "improve" my entry is take a better picture of this...

[deguerre]

I still scratch my head on those fried pickles. Definitely should have garnered some votes.

[bigabyte]

You know what...it's time to do this one!:becky:

[bigabyte]

I don't have time to come up with the rules though. So I am going too leave that to you guys. Please make the special rules we will be following, listed in numerical order. What that means is you put a number before your rule, and the number you use must be the next number in sequential order after the one listed in the prior posted rule.

I'll start.

1. Anyone can participate.

[bigabyte]

Oh, I will come by at some point and post that the list of rules is complete and I am no longer accepting new rules. Until then however, let's hear some rules!

[Moose]

You know what...it's time to do this one!:becky:

I agree! I just need to locate my other Zero entry...:roll:

[Moose]

I don't have time to come up with the rules though. So I am going too leave that to you guys. Please make the special rules we will be following, listed in numerical order. What that means is you put a number before your rule, and the number you use must be the next number in sequential order after the one listed in the prior posted rule.

I'll start.

1. Anyone can participate.

I think that would defeat the purpose of the Zero TD. I think it should be limited to those who have scored at least one Zero.

[bigabyte]

Ahem....

If you don't put a number before it, then you are just chatting, not making a rule.:becky:

[Wrench_H]

2. Chris's rules don't count

I'll go third.

3. Rule #1 means anyone with a zero can participate.

[Moose]

I'll go next.

2. Rule #1 means anyone with a zero can participate. :thumb:
3. Your entry must be a recreation of a previous Zero that you earned.

[colonel00]

3. The entry must be an improvement on the entry that earned the zero. You must include your previous entry photo.

[deguerre]

4. Must be inspired by a prior zero. Not necessarily your own. For those that only have one?

[colonel00]

MOOSE! :doh:

Please note the hijacking of this thread by the new thread title, and the edit to the opening post.

Oh, and some of you need to learn to count. 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4?:confused:

Please be sure and read the updated OP to fully understand how to post your rules and the consequences of not doing so correctly.

[Ron_L]

I don't remember if I've received a zero or not :oops: so I may not have a dog in this hunt, but shouldn't a ZERO throwdown have ZERO rules?

[SirPorkaLot]

5. Any possible DQ's due to the "special rules" will be decided by a popular vote via a poll as to whether or not to accept said entry.

and yes..I am a proud member of the Zero Club, via this entry into the "XL" throwdown

[nucornhusker]

I don't remember if I've received a zero or not :oops: so I may not have a dog in this hunt, but shouldn't a ZERO throwdown have ZERO rules?That would only make sense, wouldn't it. Why would that ever happen in this place? :heh:

[Will work for bbq]

Oh this sounds like fun.

So if one were to score a zero in a zero throw-down on an entry inspired by another zero would that make it.........

6. Anyone who receives a Zero in the Zero TD will have to help Chris with the certificate backlog.

:pop2:

[Al Czervik]

7. You can use Dilly Bar winning DQ's (especially Gore's) as a basis for entries.

[deguerre]

8. ^^^^^ Negating the above. A dilly bar is not a zero. Not that it COULDN'T have been, but no vote took place for the entry. :becky:

[Al Czervik]

9. Guerry can only participate in the new Zero TD if he updates his sig to seven notches in his spatula. :heh:

[deguerre]

10. Scott can only enter if Bigabyte updates the official Zero list to include his name.:-P:becky:

[Redhot]

I knew this was gonna get crazy, a bunch of zero earners trying to agree on rules for a zero TD.:crazy: I'm with Oldyote on this one, pass the popcorn so I can watch y'all duke it out. :pop2:

[Grillman]

#11. or whatever number it actually is....Everybody MUST vote for their own entry
so there will not be any "Zero" winners (losers) in this Throwdown.....therefore
the "Winner" will be decided by non participants.........unless this is a stupid idea;
then just forget it.

[deguerre]

12. It's not a stupid idea unless Gore proposes it.

[Al Czervik]

10. Scott can only enter if Bigabyte updates the official Zero list to include his name.:-P:becky:

Depends on whether its a leap year or not.

[Al Czervik]

19. Only people who have zero(s) can make up rules...

In Engrish...


Any interruption of a continuum of space-time theory is contradictory, and not the responsibility of management, are turned off, all bets will be.

[Will work for bbq]

unless this is a stupid idea.

20. Only stupid ideas should be considered for rules, we are after all Zeros and good ideas would just mess things up.

Not sure if I can make a rule but here it goes.

Rule 23. No mammals shall be harmed in the making of the zero throwdown unless they will be consumed by the Brethren!

[Oldyote]

22. All grilling or smoking of food must be done in your bare feet.

Just a few points of clarification - Will we be required to stay in our bare feet the entire time or just when we are in close proximity to the grill or smoker?

If so could there be some special dispensation for any grilling or smoking that takes longer than 4 hours?

Could Rule 22 be suspended if there is more than 2 inches of snow on the ground or if the temperature outside is below freezing?

Could we wear shoes of we agree to grill or smoke sans pants?

Will pictures be required of this step of the grilling or smoking process?

[nucornhusker]

No way. This is a special throwdown for "special" people. :tsk:

1. Only zero club members can participate.

[Oldyote]

Please see above in blue...

OK, thank you that clears things up. I'm pretty sure despite the no picture required ruling I will opt for bare feet. I might be able to get away with the sans pants thing but I'll have to draw the line at sans underpants.

On a side note, I'm not sure I've ever written a sentence containing the word underpants.

30. For those that drink alcohol, all pictures must be taken with a blood alcohol level of .08 or greater. For those that don't, all pictures must be taken after spinning around 8 times.

A blood alcohol level of .08 is for wussies. I could spin around 8 times with a level of .08. If you have real zero DNA, you will not remember taking to pictures in the morning.

No, no, no. The real buzz comes from tokin' while doing deep knee bends.

Well, at least that is what I convinced a few of my stoned friends would give them a killer buzz. The only thing better than a good buzz, is being the one guy in a room who doesn't have a buzz. :heh:

Like I would let deguerre have all the fun of being king by his lonesome. :twisted:

[Gore]

This is the updated list of Zeroes. I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but we have no Zero King!:becky:

...

[list of names and numbers associated with them]
...


I hate to break it to you all, but these numbers just do not add up, especially taking the zeros associated with this post into account:

Well now, hold on a minute. This one is complicated.

[blah, blah, blah...]


Then, Rule #6 is applied to all ODD numbered totals

[and more blah, blah, blah]

Next, Rule #9 is applied to all EVEN numbered totals

[Now we get to the heart of the matter!]

caseydog - 46 x 0 = 0
Team Sicily - 12 x 0 = 0
watertowerbbq - 10 x 0 = 0
ecode - 8 x 0 = 0
Oldyote - 20 x 0 = 0
Gore 1 - 10 x 0 = 0
GARNAAL - 1/4
bluetang - 1/4
Gore 2 - 4 x 0 = 0
Gore 3 - 6 x 0 = 0
Smokey Al Gold - 2 x 0 = 0
Redhot - 18 x 0 = 0
Gore 4 - 6 x 0 = 0
colonel00 - -1/2
FattyMac 1 - 2 x 0 = 0
FattyMac 2 - -6 x 0 = 0
deguerre - -2 x 0 = 0
Shiz-Nit - 16 x 0 = 0
Gore 5 - -2 x 0 = 0
Gore 6 - -2 x 0 = 0
Gore 7 - 0 x 0 = 0
Gore 8 - 10 x 0 = 0
Will work for bbq 1 - 8.5
Will work for bbq 2 - -0.5
Gore 9 - 8 x 0 = 0
Phubar - 8 x 0 = 0

[Finally some more blah, blah, blah follows]



Notice that these zeros were not included in the tally as Gore received 9, yes NINE, zeros in this throwdown! I think that puts catapults me to the front of the pack. :becky:

Indeed, I missed that (because it was not part of official polling results).

So Gore's total needs to be adjusted upwards by nine, and FattyMac gets an extra two zero's as well!:becky: Of course, this is only so long as you are looking the the total when adjusted for FOIL and SQUIRREL points. Otherwise the original list is the correct one.

However, you will both need to remember to add these to your totals, because the report I use can not catch these.

[Gore]

Well of course we'd use FOIL and SQUIRREL points. What do you take us for?

[colonel00]

So, including FOIL and SQUIRREL points do I only actually have 1.5 0's?

[bigabyte]

Negative.

Remember, that was a negative 1.5.

[WvSmoke]

Son of a...now I have to figure out what FOIL and SQUIRREL points are...:doh:

[FattyMac]

Woohoo! Six zeros! :clap2:

I always wanted six figures. :loco:

[caseydog]

Oh, you don't want to go there. It will only cause you to drink a lot and lose sleep. :tsk:

[Oldyote]

40. All even numbered rules shall be ignored.

[Al Czervik]

Hey... Hold the fark on here. I want a recount! I have two zeros... Light the torches!!!

So, you expect us to believe that Chris's high-tech, fancy-shmancy computer program that he wrote to tabulate all the zeros (and doesn't include the zeros from the very throwdown that was named after him) is not able to reliably count past one? ... Yeah, we probably should have a recount. :tsk:

[bigabyte]

Was one of the zero's in a contest which you had multiple entries in? If so, did you get any votes for your other entries? I only capture true zero's. Not wannabe zero's.:becky:

Ah, You probably have been asked this before and I know this is a bit off topic and all but, is your first name Al? :heh:

[gtr]

But what could be more pure that a zero that isn't counted? That's farking hardcore right there.

I think my zero from the sparerib master TD didn't get counted. I feel like a real outlaw.
