The Hawk Returns

2007-02-17T02:04:00.000-08:00

There has been too much of fun happening while I have been away. The ugly Madrasis getting all worked up and righteous. Screw them all.

It is time to revive the game. I am a little bored of my old teams and have decided to add a male in each team, to motivate the women.

The team stays. Though if any team wants to kick out people they can let me know. We could have a reserves list.

Women are getting boring. So the men will be good. For entertainment purposes.

Team 1 Jai Arjun
Team 2 Vulturo should be good(I really like this guy)
Team 3 Falstaff (Apologies girls. Only one team can have him)
Team 4 May be Patrix? Or some one like that. I let the girls pick.
Team 5 Sagnik
Team 6 Recommend any Bengali/Tamil Male Blogger please?

Team Placings: Soundbytes Manager

2006-07-23T00:00:00.000-07:00

After the fabulous Rimi and Primalsoup ending as the top entertainers, its time to look at the Soundbytes Manager.

Team 1: Neha
Team 2: Annie
Team 3: Aishwarya
Team 4: Charukesi
Team 5: Uma
Team 6: Mangs

I think, the same set of questions will actually work well for the Soundbytes Managers as well.
a) Who among these six women would you never want in your life? – Neha
b) Which of them do you find most irritating? – Charukesi
c) Which of these blogs must the government ban? - Neha
d) Which of these is the most pseudo Blog? – Uma
e) Which of these Blogger desperately needs a man in her life? –All of them I suppose, we can therefore ignore this question
f) Which of these is most snooty and arrogant Blogger? – Neha and Aishwarya
g) Which of them is the most narcissistic Blogger? - Aishwarya
h) Which of them is the most boring Blogger? – Mangs and Uma
i) Who is the biggest cry baby blogger? – Annie

Neha – 3 Points
Uma and Aishwarya – 2 Points each
Mangs, Charukesi and Annie – 1 Point each

End of Two Rounds, here are the Team Placings.
Team 1 = 6 Points
Team 3 = 5 Points
Team 2 and Team 5 = 3 Points each
Team 4 and Team 6 = 2 Points each

Team Placings: Entertainers!

2006-07-21T23:20:00.000-07:00

The ban is off after all. Whining Bloggers suffering from overwhelming desire to put across their points can continue to do so. Sad but the entertainment continues.

Anyway, time for the games to begin. I would hate to disappoint Neha and Punkster Megha!

Before we get into the team games, we must assign individual team members points and give every team X as their total points.

We begin with the Entertainers, as we all love them so much, don’t we?

Team 1: Primalsoup
Team 2: Teleute
Team 3: Rimi
Team 4: Vishkanya
Team 5: M
Team 6: Shoefiend

So this is a simple quiz that I took:
a) Who among these six women would you never want in your life?
b) Which of them do you find most irritating?
c) Which of these blogs must the government ban?
d) Which of these is the most pseudo Blog?
e) Which of these Blogger desperately needs a man in her life?
f) Which of these is most snooty and arrogant Blogger?
g) Which of them is the most narcissist Blogger?
h) Which of them is the most boring Blogger?
i) Who is the biggest cry baby blogger?

The Blogger who gets maximum number of votes, shall fetch her team the maximum number of points.

And here are the results.
a) Who among these six women would you never want in your life? – Primalsoup and Rimi
b) Which of them do you find most irritating? – Rimi
c) Which of these blogs must the government ban? - Primalsoup
d) Which of these is the most pseudo Blog? – Shoefiend and M
e) Which of these Blogger desperately needs a man in her life? - Rimi
f) Which of these is most snooty and arrogant Blogger? - Primalsoup
g) Which of them is the most narcissistic Blogger? - Teleute
h) Which of them is the most boring Blogger? – Vishkanya
i) Who is the biggest cry baby blogger? – Teleute

Teams 1 and 3: 3 Points each (Megha Murthy and Punkster Megha's Teams)
Team 2: 2 Points (eM's Team)
Teams 4, 5 and 6: 1 Point each (Sakshi Juneja, Thalassa_Mikra and Ash's Team)

Tomorrow we will look at the Soundbytes Manager

Finally!

2006-07-18T09:03:00.000-07:00

The government has apparently banned blogs. It might be the best decision of the UPA government. Though, no more entertainment – that is sad.

2006-07-03T21:09:00.000-07:00

Our favourite loser blogger's are maintaining a really low profile these days.
Good thing too!

The contest still remains though, since Neha, Primal and some of the others asked so nicely!

Women!

2006-06-03T04:32:00.000-07:00

When I say Team One is the strongest team, the other teams must be happy. It means on the losers scale, they are marginally better!

Since I am anyway getting very fond of Rimi, I will profile Team 3 next.

The ranking of my favorite individual members now is as follows:
1. Neha
2. eM
3. Primalsoup
4. Rimi
5. Mint Chutney

Team Two

2006-06-01T05:09:00.000-07:00

While I really like Team One best, Team Two is almost as good.

For starters it has the fabulous eM. Yes she is fabulous, haven’t you read that on every post of hers! There isn’t much that one can say about her, but she represents the growing breed of city-bred women, the types whose hold over values are very suspect. But to her credit she is honest. She doesn’t even bother about being terribly intelligent. She is my favorite person in Team Two.

Next is Annie, the writer in theotherindia blog. One can’t be entirely sure of what her posts mean, with her pretend intelligence and reverse snobbery. However, since every team needs one intelligent person I included her for this team.

Mint Chutney, my favorite married woman Blogger. She is to most of these women Bloggers a window into the great USA way of living. And you can see all her commenters salivating when she posts some hundred pictures on each post. May be she can’t write too much. Every furniture rearrangement is captured on her blog!

Teleute – very very weird. The typical kind of Bong woman. Her posts are amazingly silly. Of the 24 women in the list, she should qualify for Miss Weirdo the best!

That is it about Team Two. Fairly good chance to seriously challenge Team One, which is the strongest team.

Next I shall profile Team Five, the dark horse!

The Schedule

2006-05-31T19:32:00.000-07:00

Team 1 versus Team 6
Team 2 versus Team 5
Team 3 versus Team 4

The three winners shall all play against each other.

I suggest all the fans to stop leaving me wise comments. If you have anything helpful to say about these games, then do.

You could also write to me at: thehawkreturns@gmail.com

Round One

2006-05-31T08:48:00.000-07:00

The teams stay.

At the end of Round One, we knock out one of the teams!

Before I get into the details, I would like you'll to tell me - Which is the weakest team?

To keep it fair, I have deleted all comments by the players!

WOmen as friends?

2006-05-30T20:37:00.000-07:00

I always thought that women always hated the other. Especially if they were competing for the attention of the same person.
In the blog world all of that changes and the women apparently love each other. Or so they claim.
I always would have thought that Miss 0 comments would be jealous of Miss 5 comments who would in turn be envious of Miss 100 comments.
I think there is a problem with team balance and also the women are getting too comfortable with each other, so I am going to change the teams.

Team One

2006-05-29T05:11:00.000-07:00

I think I will begin with a post on showcasing each of the teams. I would like to begin with Team One, as it is one of my fave teams in the list.

There are four fascinating women in the list. I can’t really decide who is the weirdest among them.

The biggest loser in the group is undoubtedly – Megha. She is also probably the world’s most popular loser. Amazingly full of herself, she is the dumbest blogger around. But she is funny and the people who leave her comments are even funnier, they all take on filmi id’s and leave her comments that are far more sillier than her posts. Her earlier posts weren’t this bad. It would seem that since the time she discovered how much fun 100 comments on a post can be, she has begun to pander to her large male audience.
You must read her last few posts to know what I mean. One is on the naming of her son and the other to do with something on ants. One total behnji she is.

A contrast is Neha, rather intelligent and boring. Her every other post is a piece of poetry that nobody really understands. This and the fact that she is married, saves her a fan club. Which is good, that way she doesn’t need to pander to anyone. There is a tone of superiority in most of her writings. I think she is the one I like the best among these four women.
She thinks that women priests must be allowed in temples. Sure sure. If our forefathers didn’t allow women into temples, there was a reason for it!

Of course none can do the superior tone better than the other two Bloggers of this team.

There is Buchu, who is just arrogant. Nothing more. That is a typical Stephen’s chick characteristic. Her tone towards all her commenters is either dismissive or confrontational. She is also very weird like only Bengalis can be.
Check her dog, cat pictures to know what I mean. She also seems to support the likes of Britney Spears and has some other strange links.

A bit similar is Primalsoup. It is no mystery why she calls herself a Smug Bug. She is actually a bit like all the three women mentioned. She does write posts only about herself and what she thinks, she is intelligent in that superior way and her tone towards her commenters are always confrontational and bored. I am not sure why people leave her any comments at all.
It is tough to say, what the theme in her writing is. She writes about all kind of weird stuff about her life. Some people with privileged lifestyle can probably relate to what she says. She also seems to think that her readers will care about her father’s death. I say that he had a lucky escape than to be saddled looking after a daughter like her. Though by and large she is very entertaining.

This team should work well together. Neha and Megha are anyway very good friends it would seem. Primalsoup and Buchu are nobody’s friends, so it really doesn’t matter. Besides some of the friendliness of he first two women, might rub of on them.

Other teams will follow soon, please be patient!

Greetings Once More...
