i'd be willing to help with that. i have a lot of free time on my hands now that i have a lot of time between classes. just let me know if you need help.

If you uploaded all of my stories to a server or website, would I be able to edit them?

well, i could let you make another account (your old one got deleted) and make you a moderator of your own section so you can do that. but, i'd rather have the original posts in there. but sure, i can set that up for you. when all the stories are ready, i'll provide a link to the site.

sorry double post.

it seems, trivia, that your account is actually still there, if you remember your password. if you don't, then you have to remember your security question, or have them email your reset password to the email address you signed up for it on.

I know the drill, I'm pretty sure there's 50 good posts somewhere in there.

I will be expecting my first mission very soon.

I would like to re-request to join the NG Mafia.

I know I screwed up with my last post in here.

I'm going to be more active now.

I hope the Armor Division still needs recruits.

Hey there bro, I'm sure there will be no problem with you joining but sadly I can't make this decision as I do not have the authority to.

However, I would like to ensure those with this authority, that this is a good user and a good poster. Sure he doesn't have perfect posts all the time but none of us do, and I would like to extend my reach and let you know that I am willing to put my name on the line for him if he can be allowed to join us brothers.

Are you a member here and if you were an asshole, were you given permission to speak here? I'm not trying to be a dick but we do have rules and we don't let those who disobey them pass lightly.

Nothing, just making sure you had proper clearance to post here is all. Just giving you a heads up though, pictures of that sort aren't really looked highly upon here.

you proved me wrong, which is something i don't like. all your posts consist of one-liners, they are in stupid topics, and they don't add anything to the conversation. what's more, is that you spelled my name wrong. i lost a good member over you. remember when i told you to go out and make 20 intelligent posts? well none of them have been intelligent, and whenever you talk in here, it's saying something that's one line and stupid. it's obvious of your age, but this is not a club to dick around in anymore. make your useless replies elsewhere. i'll give you one more chance. start making intelligent posts or don't post here at all. you have 30 to go before you become a member. and the next post i see from you here had better be a well thought out post. something that has more than one sentence, and it better add to the conversation. and i don't want picture spam in here either. goddammit, don't you know how to lurk before posting? you can't act 13 here. you have to be a little more mature than that.

I'll consider it.

Yeah, it put you in a bad spot with me and my family here.

I'm going to be more active now.

Good to hear.

I hope the Armor Division still needs recruits.

I've done the rsearch and you do seem like a member I would like to have in my ranks. I'm sure that your experiences in the NGDD will help here.

I would like to join the NG mafia... its always looked mad kool... so can somebody please inform me a little bit to more on what it is?

he means, act mature, not age. If you act childish, age doesn't matter.

that was called "sarcasm," kids.

Hey everybody! Just dropping by to see how everything is going and to see what all is happening around here lately. So how is everybody?

Strauss put it clear and up front for you, and still you manage to not get it. Act mature and you are welcome here, but since you can't even read clean cut sentences with more than enough information for you to "get" I say you can come back when you're 76. See you then!

Just hanging out bro, trying to find something to do tonight since things don't seem to be going as planned and all. Hell, I hope something is found to do but I doubt it, a night of drinking it will be without any plans. :P

That seems to be about right, though with me, maturity doesn't come with age but with experience. Maybe a few decades will do the man good.

I have a night of lurking the bbs planned, as I am doing nothing until tomorrow.

night starts at five in the morning, right?

Anyway... I'm doing a little userpage project, and If anybody has any examples of posters who don't understand punctuation, please send me a link.

thanks O_o

Exactly. Maturity has nothing to do with age, I think. It's really gained through more of a natural process based on the individual. That said, I think it's also important to note the one of our members also became a Capo before they went through puberty.

lol Hitman

It's hard to believe I didn't see this for a month. Of course, it seems you haven't posted here since, and that unfortunately places you right back on the bubble. I hope to hear from you again by April.

Also, I just checked up on everyone's post count and discovered that Regus-MK-IV hasn't posted here since the second week of December. Because I took more than a month to discover this idleness, I'm giving him until the end of March to post or IM me.

I found one!

kidding, well, sort of.

Anyway, as the newest member, I don't have a clear image of the rankings. Could someone link me to a page containing ranks in the mafia/ who currently occupies them?

thanks.

And now, for something completely different

Are there any upcoming mafioso events?

Just wanted to ask.

well, we just usually hang out here, but really what we're looking for is someone who can write good stories and post them up for people to see. a lot of people who do, they write mafia-related stories, but you don't necessarily have to do that.

wait for a capo to look at your posts and see if you can join or not.

Why thank you.

I will be a responsible poster and never post spam or undesirables.

I will be a regular here, never forgetting my brothers.

I will be a respectable poster remembering that I represent the NG Mafia.

Once agian, thank you for my acceptance.

As my first official project in the Armor Division, I would like to introduce a favorite gadget of mine.

You may know it from somewhere, It's the Magnetized Watch.

Specs:

Formal watch illusion.

Approx. 3 lbs.

Force meter disquised as second hand.

Importance:

Redirects bullets to a safe direction protecting brothers from undesirables.

It just looks freakin' awesome.

1 question Don,

how do i join?

you need 50 intelligent posts. most of your posts are one-liners and seem to antagonize people when you post. here, we try not to post one-liners, and if we can, reply to multiple topics at the same time. i'll say make 30 more intelligent posts (try adding to the topic of conversation rather than just replying for the sake of replying) and come back.

Can I join???

At 2/6/08 03:22 AM, mastachief226 wrote: Can I join???

no, no. not yet. read the requirements above. you need 50 intelligent posts to be able to make it in. go out and practice making some well-thought out posts, and come back here when you've reached 50 posts. remember, they have to be well thought out, or we won't let you in.

ON ANOTHER NOTE

i am currently undergoing a complete archiving of all the stories that have been posted in here. ......every.....single.....one. it's taking a lot longer time than i expected, but i'm using a very old site that we once used for our private forums to now archive the stories. i'm on page 800 now, but i can usually average only about 50 pages a day (100 on a good day) so, i feel i should be done in the next 2 or 3 months at latest.

meanwhile you can check my progress on the new story archive site:
http://p221.ezboard.com/bthenewgroundsma fia

there are a lot of interesting stories from a whole array of people who have come and gone.

speaking of which

i haven't seen any stories in here lately. this thread used to be famous for them. all members are encouraged to write stories and post them here in the thread. let's see if we can get that started up again.
