THE ORIGIN OF THE COFFEE CUP PARTY (Est. 2020 A.D.)
HOW THE CUP PARTY CAME TO BE
It originally started as a joke. I made an infomercial styled meme, promising free custom cups to the “next 10 callers” (posters).
Historical reference below:
E&P Memes and Captions 😅 - Inspired by Yorick and Coppersky - #1994 by TGW
At first, I meant it as a joke. But I decided to continue the joke by actually creating cups for individual posters, to show my appreciation for those who frequent the forum and keep me entertained with their day-to-day bantering and such.
It quickly became apparently to me that 10 was not enough. There are tons of awesome posters here who keep this place vibrant and active. Whether they always agree with me or not - they usually don’t; hell, sometimes people here can be straight up rude towards me and others who might have dissenting opinions on things. But that’s just the nature of the internet…
All in all, for the most part, this community is full of good people, and I want to show my appreciation for those good people. That’s how the cup thing started.
I never expected people to start using them as avatars. That was a movement that took on a life of its own. And I’m honored and humbled that my fellow forum members took it upon themselves to form this club.
BUT WHAT DO THE CUPS MEAN?
As to what the cup means to me, what I think they should represent? Ultimately, most importantly, I think they should represent the freedom to express your opinions here, no matter how ridiculous they may seem to others. Whether you’re F2P or P2W, competitive or casual. I’d like to think of it as an expression of unity and openness to new ideas and different opinions. Because at the end of the day, we’re all players of the same game, and we all should have the right to play it the way that we want to play it, in much the same way that you may also fill your virtual cup with whatever you prefer to drink.
May your hearts be as open as your cups, and your minds awakened by the warm soothing beverages that fill them.
You are welcome.
Was thinking about adding a motto like “I came here to kill titans and chew bubble gum… and I’m all out of gum”… but there isn’t much space on the cups for long mottos without using tiny unreadable text. So I went with the slashes on the sides instead.
Glad you like it.
Both awesome love the first LOL, much appreciated and a wonderful uplifting effort & movement you have started… may it continue to grow and extend beyond this virtual space! RAZ!!!
Three cheers for the man leading the forum caffeine addiction! How much is Folgers paying you? But cereally. Thanks for the effort and for lightening the mood around here. As one of the most negative people I know, I find relief in this thread. I know I speak for all who have been lucky enough to receive a hand crafted mug when I say thank you for making us feel special. Even if it is anonymously. And on the internet. In a small niche forum. For a game that makes people angry. Oh I forgot I was being cereal. Oh well. Cheers. And to all those who have yet to receive one…
Neener neener!!!
LMAO - I was originally linking back to the link just below - until I saw the FIGHT CLUB & BACK TO THE FUTURE references ha haha ha - so now it links to these! Thanks again.
so yeah I kinda made sure it does…
If cut, do I not bleed espresso, no darker than yours?
Perhaps a little darker, I love turkish grind🤪
A wonderful cup party @TGW.
And would love a cup of coffee.
@TGW awww that’s the best! We move around a lot, so you never know! My hubby and I have been married 7 years and have lived in 5 countries in that time (Japan, Myanmar, Canada, the UAE and now SK), so you never know where and when we’ll end up next!
I know this is the Coffee Cup Party, but does anyone else here not even drink it?
@Shadowlander - added you to the queue… Now, please sit back and relax while @TGW works his magic on your coffee cup.
I’m not a regular… prefer tea. But I’ll drink just about anything from a coffee cup if it’s the only cup available.
Honestly, i hardly ever drink coffee. If i am sick with a headache, i’ll drink it. Or if my mom’s smells good. I’d say i drink a cup of coffee about 1 time every 2 or 3 months.
When I was in high school I worked part-time in an engineering office as a draftsman (this was pre-PC’s – we used a pencil). Three draftsmen were on the second floor of the building with 7-8 engineers. The coffee maker was in the basement. Every time someone went down for a coffee he would bring back a clipboard with a round for everyone.
One day I counted and in the span of 8 hours we had 26 cups of coffee.
