Who will be the VN 2008 Dux?

[excal]

What do people get out of lying about their study scores? You don't get reassurance, you don't get valour, you just look overall stupid for trolling. I got a 30 in Psych last year, and although I would like to say I got 40 or 50, I don't; I am honest.

It's trollers who I can't stand, and who lie to keep up their appearance, when the truth is, their pretension only dims their intelligence!

1. To impress people you don't know
2. To be judged by people you don't know more favourably
etc

I think that if you post enough, you can't keep up with your lies. And you won't need them anyway because you've already been accepted for who you are.

Given, this post is by someone who tells the truth about everything before even realising there was an alternative.

This isn't the first case of it...and probably won't be the last.

Personally, I don't respect people here purely because they obtain an impressive study score or mark. (There are plenty of people on this site who have achieved amazing results, and I don't respect all of them, lol ). I don't even take much notice, to be honest. Your study scores do not reflect who you are.

If I really like a person and their contributions to the site, I will be really happy for them if they get a mark they are pleased with. But if someone just signs up, makes a few posts and then randomly writes, "I GOT 50 IN EVERYTHING WOOOOOOOOO!!!!111", I won't really care. I mean, congratulations on their achievements if they did really receive those marks, but I still don't really care. I don't judge them more favourably. If someone posts really friendly and lovely posts, and tries their best to help other individuals, then my respect for that member will increase ten fold.

So from my point of view it's pointless.

I vote Mao will Dux VN 2008.

I'd like to say I would, but my English score is going to take too much of a chunk out of my Enter.

My only goal is to beat him in one of my subjects [which is looking doubtful]
