Mocky's great, isn't he.
This thread is to commemorate and celebrate the fine man himself. What are your favourite Moments from the Master of Mocking?
The things I think about when I think of Mocky:
His Megathreads. Tasks of the Week, Forumite Forfeit, The Eliminator, Snowman Competitions. A classic Mockmaster thread always seems to be a guarantee of an epicly long and memorable thread.
His ability to make something happen that no-one else could. GRcade factions, Buddy Brothers, Loser Leaves GRcade - if anyone else tried to pull off these audacious ideas they'd sink like a stone. No one would dare accuse him of not having the post count to pull anything off.
Him winning both Forumite of the Year and Best New Forumite in the same year on old GR thanks to his alt account Brucie Bonus going successfully undetected and becoming a firm favourite.
His outstanding stealth-assassin-ness when he romped to victory in
I Love You, But You're Dead.
This thread. And more recently, I've got to mention
Sigswap 2015, not least the fantastic bait-'n'-switch:
Mockmaster wrote:It's been a rollercoaster edition this year, many twists and turns, ups and downs... and sadly the event has been somewhat overshadowed by one man's... some would say clever... I would say.... hurtful... decision to farm out his sig making to another forumite. This has really tarnished SigSwap for me this year... made a mockery of it, you could say. All jokes aside, it hit me harder than I expected... the actions of this one forumite triggered something in me... and that is why I have decided to announce that I will be retiring from SigSwap after this. Yes, this is my last SigSwap event, Christmas or otherwise. It's been a pleasure to run it for the last 8 years, alot of joy and love has been shared and of all the forum games I've run, while this may have been one of the simplest in concept, it's also the one that's lasted the longest, having given away Forumite Forfeit to MCN and Tasks of the Week to Moggy. I thought this one would stay with me. But, all good things must come to an end, and I am sure whoever takes over will do a great job next year.

That's right, Photek redeemed himself heroically, in the face of immense scrutiny, when the chips were down, and has helped us all discover the TRUE meaning of Christmas by constructing this amazing sig for Jay Adama. Maybe, after all, Photek is the pure form of what is the best of us.
As a result, Christmas is saved and like strawberry float am I ever retiring from SigSwap. You will have to prise it from my cold, dead hands. I will be back in 2016, 2017, 2018 and beyond.
So what are your favourite Classic Events of Mocking?
