It is a shame we've lost spancker, but i expect he'll probably return one day when he has some time on his hands or when he's feeling bored. Perhaps, this could be during the summer holidays.

MWAHAHAHA! :::POWERS UP TO PRAPORSHCHIK:::

Reality is crashing down around me!

THAT'S RIGHT! yeah!

You might have to take one in the leg gfoxcook, just to slow you down a little.

HMPH!

Hey, arrows_eleven is just 5 points behind our leader. If spancker doesn't get back on the voting wagon he may start dropping like a rock!

He's gotten like 2 points in 1 week. He already IS dropping like a rock.

Okay gfoxcook, which leg? Right or left? Trust me, the bullet hits before the bang.

I've got an invisible leg between the right and the left. So just shoot right between my knees, and trust me, I'll be injured, even if it doesn't appear that I am. :::uncrosses fingers:::

His MSN name is now "I hate life" and when I tried to talk to him he just changed his status to 'Away' and didn't reply. The previous chat we had I asked him about how much time he's going to spend on NG now, and the answer was quite interesting. I'll paste the chat below. Whatever is Spancker.

So his name WAS Whatever, and now it's I hate life...

That's pretty distressing.

When was that chat from, if he avoided you yesterday/today? A couple days ago?

There was no reply after that. Eventually he left. I'm thinking maybe him and his gf have broken up, or something along those lines and he's depressed about it. If that's all it is though, Spancker should be back in no time!

I was thinking the exact same thing. He sure seemed intensely focussed on her and her alone, to the detriment of his blams and protects. Maybe she felt he got to clingy? Who knows. But what's clear is, problems with her would definitely be the most likely reason for him to start acting so negatively. Ah well. Time will tell.

ARGH. Tell that punk-ass that gfox said to get his ass back on the BBS, even if he doesn't blam or save. He can bitch about his life sucking in level up!, right here, and we'll listen to his complaints. Come on, free therapy, what more can you ask for? Get his butt back here, STAT! £;-}>

I totally agree. I know everyone in the club would go out of their way to help him. This whole "my life sucks" thing has me a little disturbed. When I get to work in about 2 hours I'm going to send him a major e-mail to find out what the hell is going on.
Congrats on reaching 'Elite Guard Praporshchik' gfoxcook. I know you're happy to finally get there. Don't expect this chase to be easy bud!

Congrats again _lightning_. Lets hope this is the last time you backslide haha!

Just made Elite Guard Second Lieutenant and slid into the 13th spot on the list.

Okay, I'm gone for the night. See everyone tomorrow.

So I noticed when the whole list page shifted down a bit due to your new long-assed-name rank. #;-}>

Congrats on passing HeRetiK and becoming the 13th officer on NG!

My goal of being the 20th Praporshchik was achieved... now I suppose I'd like to avoid being anything higher than the 20th 2nd Lieutenant. 16th would be pretty nice, and since HeRetiK and vuorimies are the only other Praporshchiks near enough or moving fast enough, I'd say I have a chance. Maybe not, though, we'll see how my points are affected by me having gotten my goal. I may slow down.

heh. What a coincidence. I'm typing the first message, or so I think, in the thread in hours, just as you're saying goodnight. #;-}> G'night!

w00t! Went up 15 b/p ranks since yesterday! And set to level up in 7 days...

Congratz! About to break into the top 200 b/p, eh? Cool beans.

Speaking of top b/p... Cadji, Mr. #50 spot... had 4999 points last I saw his profile (3000 blams, 1999 saves, pretty sweet numbers, though not enough saves to be on the top 50 protectors list anymore...). The top 50 list is about to lose its last Staff Sergeant. Woot!

Anyway, head on over to the top 50 protector topic, I be postin' da update right now.

I just hit level 9 this morning and hi all! this is my first post here :)

Yes! I just became a Captain, I love all things golden.
Now on to Elite Guard Private!

Hey guys im back.......for a week at least I hope to try and be more active in the future too but my G/F has got me pretty wrapped up but shes on holiday for a week so i get some points, voting and posting for a week and hopefully after....
anyway, we are still together and going strong, also i just wanna thank you all for showing concern on my behalf but im perfectly ok, I just listen to a bit too much Slipknot, korn, sum 41, etc, etc

It's good to hear you're ok and everything is well. Your screen name on MSN was causing quite a bit of concern to us. It was kinda strange not having you around, but welcome back, for the time being, anyway.

Good to have you back, spancker. Your absence was long and disheartening. I hope you and your g/f can balance things out evenly. No girl has the right to try and deprive you of things that bring you joy. That is, of course, unless you want her to.

Congrats on the Captain rankup, I remember that one myself. Good luck on the ol' 1,500 goal.

Good to have you back, I noticed you passed 6666 blams and saves last night. Now what's up with all the depression-ish stuff on MSN with the people who've been trying to track you down? If everything's cool with your gf and all, why were you acting all down?

Ahhhh... come on, SOMEthing bad had to have happened personally. If your life is wonderful, even sad or angry music can't ruin your day. You had us all worried, man.

how do you do BLAMS and SAVES?

Yeah I've been doing a lot less posting and B/P'ing in the last week or 2, dunno... mostly school, and I also received my 3rd unfounded ban - yayyyy. But it, like the previous (and errsome) two, was lifted - so now I'm back (from outer space...)

You?! Banned thrice? I don't believe it. What was it for? Keeerist. I mean, unless you're in a fight with someone, I've never seen you do anything approaching bannable. And fights themselves aren't outright against the rules. But anyway...

1800 posts. Woot. See everyone around tomorrow, I'm taking an early leave of absence from the BBS today.

I stumbled across one of them some time ago. I can't remember what the thread was called, but I remember seeing no justifiable reason for it. I was gonna comment on it in the thread, but it was already locked. Good to hear that it was lifted, though.

Ah, that's the one. I've seen several cases where someone has revived a topic from several years past, and people still go ahead and post without noticing. If you hadn't informed them, more than likely more people would have posted in it, and therefore, more people would have been banned. Pretty silly.

Hey gang, how's everyone? Nice to see spancker stopped in to say hi. Just finished helping a friend with some yard work (is that one word?) and I'm pretty tired. Congrats to all the people who leveled up. I've gotta grab a coffee or I'm gonna fall asleep. Later.

Hey guys :)
