He seemed to fade from national prominence after a brief stint in the "we found someone 'different' enough to beat Obama, maybe!" ring. What are you applying to grad school for? I'm still in the process in deciding about that (1.5 years left at uni). Perhaps computer science, based on your user page?

- Real greek letters login using unicode. - π 23:09, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well ideally yes... but as I just picked alpha as a generic user name, I'm quite attached to keeping it. If only for simplicity's sake. άλφαTalk 09:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Boycott
NO MOAR WIGO!!!--Colonel Sanders (talk) 00:50, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think I've written a single WIGO... so why post this on my page? άλφαTalk 00:53, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I r confused too. But I like your sig. It pretty. RatMaster háblame 00:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I sorry. Thought it was you.--Colonel Sanders (talk) 00:58, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Who knows; maybe he'll explain it in short order. I like my sig too! I prefer simple user names, and "alpha" was hard to beat, but I had to spice it up somehow for a sig. άλφαTalk 01:00, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

no
they will not learn how to use captags--Mikalos209 (talk) 19:39, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- I figured as much, but since I'm basically excluded from CP on a permanent basis, no matter which IP I use in my city (a large one, I might add...) because of incessant time outs, the only way I can view it is through screen captures. άλφαΤαλκ 19:42, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- I've never had to deal with being locked out of CP. your actually probably more lucky.--Mikalos209 (talk) 19:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- Probably. However, as a former longtime editor of CP, I'm interested in what goes on. It makes for a nice, humorous break in between my courses and study. άλφαΤαλκ 19:48, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- I've never liked CP, although we vaguely share a set of beliefs. and horray for humour! --Mikalos209 (talk) 19:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'm fairly convinced that as a secular humanist and a social/economic liberal, I share no beliefs with CP. Except maybe my general amateur knowledge of the Mediawiki interface. άλφαΤαλκ 19:53, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'm so odd man out here as a YEC, literalist christian >.>--Mikalos209 (talk) 01:15, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- Anywhere we go on the internet, though, we'll find some places where we share some of the views, other places we don't. Not a big deal. άλφαΤαλκ 03:18, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Post-CP
you have decided to join our order? Тайговорить 01:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Uhm, sure; I saw the category mentioned elsewhere and assumed it was for people here that had left CP. Since I was a CP editor for almost three years before getting bored and quitting (no final message, anything like that; I just quit editing) I assumed I should add the category. Was I mistaken? Does this order come with a pension or matching contributions to my IRA? άλφαΤαλκ 01:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- The category in general is for people who no longer care about anything CP-related, some members even wish for the wigo page to be removed from the site. Тайговорить 01:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, so I was very much off then... because even though I don't care much about CP except for the sake of humour, and wouldn't have a problem seeing it fade away from here, I'm not one of the main editors here and never really say all that much worthwhile, so how can little old me make a difference? άλφαΤαλκ 01:36, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Haha, oh, you'll notice one member of the category comments there all the time, others like RNS, ADK, and I haven't cared in ages, I think it started with a "get CP out of mainspace" thing, I'm one of the crazed radicals, pay me no mind, I was mostly messing with ya. ;) Тайговорить 01:40, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Not to worry; as I said, I'm in it for the humour, and I don't think the partial obsession with CP is the only problem with RW. Whatever the case, I'm always excited to see the "New Messages" indication... I'm just so lonely that my only human contact is on my talk page... άλφαΤαλκ 01:44, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, I feel you on that one. So, what would you like to discuss? Тайговорить 01:45, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- About RW specifically? άλφαΤαλκ 01:47, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Anything really. Тайговорить 01:48, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmm. well, I'm always interesting in discussing quite a few different things. How about the future of the Palestinian conflict? I just read this article in the NY Times about their submission to the UN, but per my personality, I'm not optimistic. I don't know too much about the issue, but it's something that interests me. Or... securitisation! I've been running the "thought experiments" recently about securitising all sorts of things, and thinking about how they would work with an actually appropriate amount of regulation (we could even securitise car payments! Bad idea? probably. Interesting thought experiment when I'm bored in an economics course? Certainly!) And... that's it for right now. It all boils down to I'm basically interested in discussing (or just listening to other people) so I can learn stuff, on most political, economic, social, cultural, etc. topics. What interests you? άλφαΤαλκ 02:09, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- I have a PDF of any NY Times articles I post, too, since I heard that they were starting IP restrictions to prevent people from reading for free. So far, they don't seem to be affecting me, but I figured I'd save the articles just in case. άλφαΤαλκ 02:10, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'm concerned about my home state as there is a lack of a viable challenger to Bobby Jindal in the gubernational this year. Oh, and applying to grad school. No idea on the Palestinian thing, I think the U.S. will do as much to prevent it as they can. Тайговорить 02:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Bobby Jindal... I certainly don't hear his name much (I'm not in your home state, however, so maybe it's not a surprise). At least not for a while, that is.
