Talk:Vorderman

2007-09-12T22:12:21Z

WolfieUk: Merge with Eurofurence 13

This was a Factual Event that happned at Eurofurance 13 {{unsigned|WolfieUk}}
:Could you consider covering it on the [[Eurofurence 13]] then? Maybe tell us a bit more on [[Eurofurence 13]] in general. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== Article proposed for speedy deletion ==

I've tagged this article for speedy deletion on the grounds that it's of very little relevance (at best) for WikiFur, and whilst it '''did''' occur at [[Eurofurence 13]], it's unlikely to hang around for long. ''(Famous last words - Ed)'' --[[User:SouthPaw|SouthPaw]] 20:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== Merge with Eurofurence 13 ==

I would strongy suggest against that, Eurofurence13 body should be kept seperate from this. It should be populated with more relevent information to the convention such as Events Atendee's etc as well as a report on the whole con. Vorderman should be a link or a passing referance in that article at best.

'''Vorderman''' was a craze which swept [[Eurofurence 13]]. Starting late on in the week (but the seeds were sown for this event before the con even began!) It formed a small, yet memorable, part of the proceedings of EF13. Hopefully the following will shed some light onto what it was all about, and you wont belive it.

<code>
'''Quote:''' 
There are no furs 
There is no outside 
There is only VORDERMAN"

—''[[KennoFox]]'' 
Unknown to its creator was the impact these three lines would have that fateful day. (Saturday - Needs clarification)

'''Origin of the word Vorderman''' 
[[Wikipedia:Carol Vorderman|Carol Vorderman]] Is a TV show co-presenter in the UK, running a intelligence based show [[Wikipedia:Countdown (game show)|Countdown]] where contestants have to do various tasks such as find words out of letters and do mathematics on the fly.

== The Beginning ==
</code>
Signs bereing the above sentence started to appear around the convention. They were placed on Floors 1 And 3, As well as above the doors leading into the [[Wikipedia:Elevators||lifts]]. Other places of note were on the notice boards.

At first people ignored them, but roughly an hour after the first sign appeared people started to ask among themselves "what was going on" Its Unknown who, but a furr screamed the word "Vorderman" at the top of his voice, After that moment the numbers of furs around the con chanting the word "Vorderman" increased 10 fold! A number of prominent members of Eurofurence, including [[Cheetah (musician)|Cheetah]], [[Uncle Kage]], Kage's parents and [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] even joined in on the Act. Most likely inspired by the randomness and large consumtions of alcohol.

The pinnacle of crowds activity was when the entire dance floor yelled "vorderman" at the tops of their voice when the track finished. (confirmation on what was playing at the time?)

The founding Furs of this consist of 3 furs from the UK, who spent 15 hours at [[Wikipedia:Frankfurt Airport|Frankfurt Airport]] on their way tow Eurofurence.

== Observations ==
In the short time the vordermans were around the convention little habits started to appear:
<code> 
- Holding your elbow up to a fellow Vorderman, fist facing yourself, touching elbows to form a V and calling out the word "vorderman" was used as a greeting. 
- Screaming the word "Vorderman" at any moment would be followed by a sizeable proportion of the room calling out in return.

At first people ignored them, but roughly an hour after the first sign appeared people started to ask among themselves "what was going on" Its Unknown who, but a furr screamed the word "Vorderman" at the top of his voice, After that moment the numbers of furs around the con chanting the word "Vorderman" increased 10 fold! A number of prominent members of Eurofurence, including [[Cheetah (musician)|Cheetah]], [[Uncle Kage]], Kage's parents and [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] even joined in on the Act. Most likely inspired by the randomness and large consumtions of alcohol.

The pinnacle of crowds activity was when the entire dance floor yelled "vorderman" at the tops of their voice when the track finished. (confirmation on what was playing at the time?)

The founding Furs of this consist of 3 furs from the UK, who spent 15 hours at [[Wikipedia:Frankfurt Airport|Frankfurt Airport]] on their way tow Eurofurence.

== Observations ==
In the short time the vordermans were around the convention little habits started to appear:

- Holding your elbow up to a fellow Vorderman, fist facing yourself, touching elbows to form a V and calling out the word "vorderman" was used as a greeting.
- Screaming the word "Vorderman" at any moment would be followed by a sizeable proportion of the room calling out in return.

'''Vorderman''' was a craze which swept [[Eurofurence 13]]. Starting late on in the week (but the seeds were sown for this event before the con even began!) It formed a small, yet memorable, part of the proceedings of EF13. Hopefully the following will shed some light onto what it was all about, and you wont belive it.

Hi Spirou Can i please have some clarification if a factual event that happned at EF13 warents a post on wikifur.
As southpaw is pretty adiment that it is not witin guidelines for Wikifur (Sorry My first article so its going to be a mess!)

Reasons that i think it deserved a post was that around 80% of the con actualy was into it at one point. The dance floor errupting and a few of the orginazers such as cheetah and uncle kage got in on the act. A lot of furrs have since asked "what was it all about"

A craze which swept Eurofurence 13, Starting late on in the week (but the seeds were sewn for this 'cult' before the con even begun! A small yet memorable part of the proceedings of EF13, Hopefuly the follwing will shed some light onto what it was all about.

[[Image:Carol_Vorderman.jpg|left|thumb|197px|The Idol,What the Craze was all about, Note the 'Shocked' Expression]]

Unbeknown to its creator on what this would become!) the first sign of this was the random appearances of signs around doors on floors 1 and 3 And the lifts on the same floor, the signs read:

''"There is no furs 
There is no outside 
ONLY VORDERMAN"''

Shortly After this the numbers of furrs around the con screaming the word VORDERMAN increased 10 fold, some prominent members of EF even joined in on the Act. Thus was born the Cult of Vorderman. The Pinicle of the cults activity was when the entire dance floor called out the 'sacred tome' at the end of a song.

The founding fathers of this cult consist of 3 furs from the UK, of whom spent 15 hours at Frankfurt Airport on the way towards Eurofurence. Thus the 'Cult of Vorderman' was created and shall live on proud throughout the world

== '''Common Greetings:''' ==

- Holding Your elbow up to a fellow vorderman, fist faceing yourself, touching Elbows to form a V and calling out the sacred tome.
- Screaming the word "VORDERMAN" to find fellow vordermans who are honour bound to return the call in ernest.
