When you say "Belgium", you think Rubens, French fries, and great beer. But now another name is added to this country's celebrity list: Sciere. The site's most prolific submitter of game credits has replaced the legendary Corn Popper as MobyGames' #1 Top Contributor. Will Corn Popper be able to reclaim his lost throne, or will Sciere's titanic achievement remain unsurpassed?

Sciere is unstoppable - at least in the Overall Ranking. Way to go! But Martin Smith is also serious competition for 1st place.

From my perspective the real "fights" take place under 10.000 points. You can't overtake a serious approver! - No that's not entirely true. Judging by the speed Stratege is moving through the ranks (600 left to 10.000) he could make it. Go Russia Go! :)

My personal fight is for place 5 under Overall Game Cover Art - and whose sitting on that place? Our friend Sciere of course. Mark my words: "It's mine! All mine!" :P

And by the way: I know Sciere's secret. He let's his pupils do all the work! They've to work 27/7/365 without pay or anything else while caged in a small room full of computers which only connect to MobyGames! :)

Well, just preparing them for society I guess. It's in the curriculum.

Whoa!

Way to go Sciere, nice work!

I thought Sciere taught English, German and I.C.T. Why would he need to conect them to MobyGames? I guess he let's them, if there is any free time. Just like my school... It's crap... I HATE I.C.T. Now that I'm in Year 10. Not good! :-((

How could you miss out Belgian chocolate?

Well done Sciere, but if you can just ease off for a few weeks to give me a chance, that'd be great....

Watch out for Macs Black as well - nearly 5000 points in little over 2 months, and really high-quality submissions as well.

I agree, there have been a lot of new faces this year and they have caught on incredibly quick with quality submissions.

Here's another thing - Belgian chocolate, belgian waffles, and.......

Belgian beer! Congratulations, Sciere!

Oops... you are absolutely right. Should I replace Rubens with chocolate? ;-)

I guess you should, as I never heard of him. =P

Rubens is a baroque era Flemish painter. If you say "I like Rubens-style women", it means you like them plump and naked.

When asked about his criteria for judging his own pictures, Rubens answered: "If I suddenly have the desire to smack the butt of a girl I painted, it means the picture is good!".

I think your source may be apocryphal...

Congratulations!

Congrats dude, well done and well deserved!!

Gratz Sciere!

You know what's worse about it? Sciere actually has a life!

Oh well, my most sincere congratulations dude! You're not just an awesome contributor, but an awesome approver also, always kind and attentious.

So far, how many top contributors did we have? Jim, Mat, Servo, Rob and now Sciere?

I see you are well-versed in the complex science of mobyology :)

I never was an all-time top contributor, buuuuhhh :(

But at least I was the top conbtributor of 2001, my first year on MobyGames! Ha! :()

Since over 90% of what I contribute has been approved by Sciere, I've begun to see him as my personal approver. ;)

Congratulations :)

Congratulations, my friend! Nice to know that someone takes points seriously.

Now I wish I gave a damn about points.

Congratulations, Sciere! =D

Congrats!

Congratulations. I think I've got to figure out a way to game the system to get back into the top 50. Maybe changelog entries should get 100 points :)

Sciere's titanic achievement

Man, I just got an all-new appreciation for what it takes to be #1 when I tiptoed in to add an amateur adventure game only released to the world under 24 hours ago... and Sciere had already beaten me to it. It's like having a seagull swoop down and take a hot dog out of the bun you're holding it in!

Looks like there's another first coming up for the number one spot!

Edit an hour or so later: Yayy Sciere! 60000! Somebody needs to write this milestone up properly! (I'm at work, gotta go...:-))

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...

Nice going, Sciere! :-))

Is it me, or does this little girl have some sort of an odd connection with Sciere and Indra? I really don't want to know what's going on...

:/

She's Indra's Little Avatar, yes she is.

Please stop, guys. Think about it.

Yes guys, think about it. Think about the issues. There are many issues in the world. We have to think about them.

There's children on the streets using guns and knives, taking drugs and each others lives, killing each other with knives and forks, calling each other names like dork.

There's people on the street getting diseases from monkeys, yeah that's what I said they're getting diseases from monkeys, now there's junkies with monkey disease who's touching these monkeys, please leave this monkeys alone, they've got problems enough they're own.

A man is lying on the street, some punk has chopped of his head, and I'm the only one who stops to see if he is dead... turns out he's dead.

And that's why I'm singing: What? What is wrong with the world today? What? What is wrong with the world today? You've got to think about it.

Flight of the Conchords - Issues (Think About It)

Sciere was my only friend on MobyGames when I first joined. Although, we're not now. Indra calls me, HIS Little Avatar. Sciere and I had a fight... That's why not friends.

I was a normal high school student, who loves playing on Sonic too much! When I was on Wikipedia, I was looking at Sonic Adventure 2. I clicked on, here. When I was doing the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle credits, Sciere was the one who looked at them... OK?

Ah the sacrifices one makes to help his fellow Belgian Bagels. You totally owe me one dude. :p

Oh really?

YA RLY.

Holy buddhas and bodhisattvas...

Indra, I hope you know what you're doing...

Indra calls me his little avatar also.

Same here. :)

*sigh*

He calls me his little Blackthorn!

Hmm, my Guardian avatar seems to be beckoning avatars in all shapes and sizes :p

I have yet to meet a person who has more mental disorder issues than yours trully. Except that American Vietnam veteran I once talked to for 6 hours....only to find out after that he was talking to his apartment wall.

Be online for once, darn it Oleg. MSN beckons.....
(then we can have a conference with certain Argentinians....)

Tickets anyone? :)

I am online. I'm just not used to those messengers... and none of you guys is there when I open MSN messenger.

I don't want to have a conference with Zovni... I must have done something really horrible to him in my former life, how else can you explain his irrational hatred... :(

OK. I don't really understand. But, could anyone please tell Sciere, how sorry I am...

Indra, you bad boy! I thought that was just my nickname... :-((

What's going on, here? I thought this was suppose to be about Sciere, right. :-))

Don't you think you're a little bit obsessed with Sciere, kid?

Yeah. I guess, but... I'm sorry... I didn't mean it, at all. Not like that, anyway.

Something's wrong about you, anyway. You were known as Rachel Benkin before. Now, you say your name is Cassidy Andrews. Your e-mail address suggests a Kay Lewis, and your messenger aim an Amy Minella. What's the deal?

Crap! Sorry about that. I've created another acconut... sorry. I'll change it back, OK? It's STILL me! Right. I shouldn't of joined here, in the first place.

I've only been doing this, because my friends have been telling me, that's it dangerious doing this, at the age of 14.

Now, now Rachel. We already agreed before that stalking Belgian Bagels is technically illegal and obviously irritating. So leave our resident Bagel alone...poor chap. Oleg however might want to act as a temporary replacement (especially by some odd circumstance you look Chinese...of which if you do, I might take up that job as well *cough*)...unless someone else wants to fill in the job?

WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO WRONG WITH ME? I HATE THIS...

INDRA, IN CASE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN, I AM NOT TALKING TO SCIERE ANYWAY! I JUST WANT HIM TO KNOW HOW SORRY I AM.

UNLESS YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM. PHERPES YOU HAVE, AND TOLD HIM, ALTHOUGH SCIERE ON THE HAND HAS JUST SAID; 'NO'.

DAMN IT! 'SCIERE' MEANS, SWORD.

P.S.: I AM NOT CHINESE, I WAS BORN, (STILL) LIVE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

I don't know what all the fuss is about really. I helped you with some initial contributions to get them approved, and then you started sending me all kinds of strange and inappropriate messages. Can we just put it to rest now and go back to what this site is meant for?

SCIERE! I'M SO MAD... I... RIGHT... I GET IT, NOW. JUST.... FORGIVE ME, WILL YOU! YOU DON'T WANT ME GOING INSANE, AGAIN, DO YOU?

ANOTHER THING, CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS...

I DIDN'T THINK BEING PART OF EUROPE WAS SO HARD... 14 YEAR OLDS... WHY AM I SO DIFFERENT? I SHOULDN'T LIKE SONIC... BUT WHY DO I, THOUGH?
