Nah, that would mean France go through, as they scored a goal, losing to the Dutch 4-1, I believe. The tie-break system is much more complex and sophisticated to require a 3-way penalty shootout.

Yes, there are like 6 or 7 other things that have to be equal as well before they´re gonna do penalties... =/

Shame on you Recon. XP

I don't mind missing a deposit once in a blue moon Bahamut; I just don't want gfox to catch me. My 500 point lead on Greg has been reduced to 450 and he rarely misses a deposit these days.

The cool thing is my rank continues to increase. Ranked 56th in experience with last night's deposit. Heh, a couple of years ago I never thought I'd make the top 50 list. Only six more people to pass and my goal becomes a reality. :-D

I know what you mean. Some people log my stats on for me when I want to do all the logging for myself.
They did it to me on three "every other days" in a week. i.e. like on M, W, and F only. It was so fucking weird. I don't tend to log until late in the day to maximise my saves take for the day, unless I've gotten so much the night before that I want to log earlier in the day... and when someone's already logged, it pisses me off.

The time you first log is forever stamped, you can't restamp it by relogging. But I still relog, of course, because *I* control what stat data is present for that damned day, not someone else. ;_;

But the worst part would be if someone logs on a day where I want to screenshot all three of my accounts on the frontpage of NG log together. I always take such screenies after logging for gfox, then gfoxclock, then gfoxcook, so my accounts are listed from oldest to newest in a row on the page, then screenshot them all together.

Fortunately, the rogue loggers haven't struck on a day when I was planning on screenshotting for any of the various reasons I do so, so... whew.

And they just generally seem to have stopped, anyway

THEY'RE BACK. I can only assume reading the above triggered the latent "stupidhead" genes to release some "acting stupid" hormones into the body of the moron who logged for ALL THREE OF MY ACCOUNTS today, as opposed to just for gfoxcook, which was the way it was happening a few weeks ago.

I'll be making a new thread about this particular phenomenon momentarily (my first new thread in years, I think... it took this to prompt it). BUT FIRST...

AnalPenguinFarming - Top 1100 in EXP. It's good, because it means you only have 100 ranks to go. I had a really tough time getting into the top 1000 from top 1100, but it's really easy compared to going from top 400 to top 300.

Which is why you must not miss anymore deposits. XD Myself, I'm doing my best to not miss a single deposit for a whole year.

The cool thing is my rank continues to increase. Ranked 56th in experience with last night's deposit. Heh, a couple of years ago I never thought I'd make the top 50 list.

So what about someone like me? I'll probably never reach the top 50 in EXP. The highest I expect to reach right now is the top 200.

And don't bother suggesting making a thank you lists like you guys invented to go beneath your congrats lists. When I stopped making congrats lists, I didn't stop so that some new form of list could take over from it eventually for me. #;-}>

I hand-congrat when I feel like it as opposed to being completist like I used to.... but perhaps because of that I try to be thorough and thank ALL who congrat me for my rare (these days) announced accomplishments, at least.

Your quotes fucked up again. :(

I only noticed in time to fix them for the 4th post of 4 posts, alas. I didn't even scroll up to see if any of the others had the same problem. I had character limit issues rather than posting-too-fast issues this time, since I posted as I typed instead of typing and then posting... but apparently repeatedly editing in notepad to get the chunk smaller, then repasting it over the top of the previous cut-off paste.... can produce that damned effect.

And here I thought it was double-post and "you're posting too fast" error messages that were solely responsible. ;_;

Ah, thanks. Well, I continue to believe that teh X-man isn't retiring for good any time soon. And he keeps on posting occasionally, lending credence to my theory/faith/what have you.

Yes, yes. Give me until mid-late 2009 and I'll be there.

NG sorts us into patient and impatient stacks over time, I think you know which stack I long ago was sorted into.

Which could be never. XP

Just because my "60+ reviews to take #1 for a top 100 reviewer list's top 10 rate list" dream has died due to a combination of the update period growing from 7 days to 14 days (I really shoulda grabbed the bull by the horns back before Auz did that, which I thought would be more of a help than a hindrance...) and folks like Bezman, proto-X-Naut, Rune-hunter, Wegra, and X being so damned tough to exceed all of for any given time period.

Heck, I have no doubt that if I bided my time until the 5 of those bastards were all quiet for a time... then I'd start reviewing a shitload only to find that you or Coop had made your comeback that same day or week. #;-}>

But anyway, back on topic... just because that dream died doesn't mean I won't still be reviewing up to 777 soon. I reviewed up from 722 to 724 last week and to 726 this week (two Flight of the Conchord flashes, one that was UJ and one I found out about due to that one).... your stuffs is next, man.

This sounds familiar. You never saw the original 3 Star Wars movies, and the Simpsons have featured so many damned parodies of scenes and/or characters from them that it's ruined you on ever wanting to see the originals? That's so unfortunate.

I don't let bad covers of songs stop me from enjoying the originals (or even other covers)... whether I heard the original or the cover first, personally, but... eh...

Man... raining everywhere.

It's been dry for weeks here now, when this is usually the start of one of Houston's 3 or 4 wet seasons per year. But finally on Tuesay we got some pretty big storms for 3-4 hours in the early-mid evening. And then Wednesday during like the exact same time range... basically right before, during, and after sunset, but no other times, basically.

AND THEN TODAY.... we get rain all afternoon and probably continuing well into the evening. Full moon = the flood gates open. And of course, not to mention the actual flooding going on in the mid-upper Mississippi River valley up a thousand or two miles north of me.

MADNESS.

Oh, and speaking of weather... yesterday I was watching footage of people outside leaving the MSNBC-broadcast private service for Tim Russert, who died back on Friday, the 13th. And it was starting to get stormy there. A rainbow popped up literally while the service ended and Bruce Springsteen's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow was played as exit music for the guests to leave (after Bruce himself played an acoustic version of the great Thunder Road before that, and as Tim Russert's wife's brother played an acoustic version (just guitar) of Born to Run).

Just wild. MORE STORMSESESES.

No, one of them is a katana, the other one is a wakizashi or a tanto (short sword or dagger, basically), which was worn as a close-quarters sidearm to the katana by a samurai.
They still look like two wakizashi to me... :P

But why would someone have two of those at once? It'd be as silly as having two katana at once, which is what I think I've been trying to convince Bahamut (and/or someone else?) for months now...

A blade is a generic term for any sword. That's why I said "twin blades." I wasn't actually titling the swords "blades." O_o
Yeah, my bad. I thought "blade" is a special kind of sword. Translation error. ^^

Gotcha.

In some RPGs, you might see Blade used instead of Sword as part of the name or title for a specific sword, but usually with modifiers (such as... Flame Sword... Ice Blade... etc.). Maybe that's what threw you?

It's... hey, wait! Instead I link to the scene, so that everyone knows what we're talking about. ^^

Ahhh yes, the colour naming scene. It's been a few years since I've seen that movie, but it's a great scene. Only Mistah Brown and Mistah Pink have a problem with their names. #;-}>

I think I know which quote specifically you mean, as well. You guys and yer silly sexuality-derived slang.

At least they lost to the new NBA Champion. And at least the damn Lakers didn't win the championship again.

Amen to that last bit. Good to see the Celtics win one after 2+ decades off. I hope this doesn't start a string of dominance for them, though... if the Lakers are the Yankees of basketball, then the Celtics are surely either the Red Sox or Cardinals, in challenging for hogging the most championships...

Because most Americans learn what little German words they know from movies like Indiana Jones and games like Wolfenstein 3D. #;-}>
And because germans are always the "bad guys" in movies or games. ^^

That's not always true. You know about Mike Myers' Germanish industrial-techno-listening black-bodysuit-clad talk show host character from Saturday Night Live back in the early 90s, don't you?

But wait, U2 taught the entire English-speaking world (and then some, most likely) "Achtung," and that's not exactly negative... YAY!
Yeah, but it implies that something dangerous might happen.

Or something good! Either way... be alert! #;-}>

And "vorsprung durch technik," too! For those fewer fans of Zooropa vs. the massive amount of fans of Achtung Baby! of course.
And "Fahrvergnügen"! Oh yeah!

There you go. In conclusion, we've learned that the main stereotypes for Germans in the English speaking world that aren't either negative (due to WWI and WWII) or super old-fashioned (you know... beer mugs and lederhosen and so forth) involve technology and/or Kraftwerk. #;-}>

Be thankful your stereotypes are at least a lot more wide-ranging than those of a lot of nations on this sphere.

But I'd still say that most german words that are used in the english language are negative! ^^

Maybe it's just that we see the Latin side of our own language as more civilised and less hostile than the more harsh-edged Germanic words in our language (I hate to take the discussion back to linguistics again, but that's how a lot of people see things... back to the ol' Visigoths vs. Roman Empire thing again).

Don't listen to that crazy nutso, Haggard!
I already forgot about him. ;)

YAY! #;-}>

Uber-grats on that, sir. That's a mark I'll never reach (but don't want to, so it's okay).

Thanks to:
gfoxcook - I will sir #;-}>

Huh? You will what? #;-}>

Shame on you Recon. XP
I don't mind missing a deposit once in a blue moon Bahamut; I just don't want gfox to catch me.

At least... not before you get into the top 50 and secure your spot inside it.... am I right? #;-}>

My 500 point lead on Greg has been reduced to 450 and he rarely misses a deposit these days.

Aww, you noticed. #;-}>

Reduced perhaps... but not quite (yet?) eroded enough to be a meaningful drop.

Nature will set things right eventually, I must trust... and be patient.

The cool thing is my rank continues to increase. Ranked 56th in experience with last night's deposit. Heh, a couple of years ago I never thought I'd make the top 50 list. Only six more people to pass and my goal becomes a reality. :-D

Yeah... the resistance to our onslaught is crumbling, Recon. I'm not gonna make it quite as fast as I believe it was Wylo in the VP thread said I would... but I'm still gonna make it way faster than I've been predicting over the past year or so. Even as I've moved up from the 90s, 80s, 70s, deep into the 60s.... I just don't want to set myself up for early expectations, with the last decade, the 50s, to move through likely taking the longest time and most perseverence. But you're already halfway through it. Like a knife through butter, eh?

The slackers doth persist in their own dropping away, as well. We couldn't help but pass them even if we were trying hard not to, methinks. It's in our reach, and while I won't say I never thought I'd get back to the promised land I should have been in all along.... I will say I never thought it'd happen in this decade. #;-}>

Which is why you must not miss anymore deposits. XD Myself, I'm doing my best to not miss a single deposit for a whole year.

Unless he wants to shout "Ole!" as I act the bull right past him and his sweeping cape. But like I half-jokingly said, I wouldn't expect that to happen AT LEAST until we're both safely into the top 50. #;-}>

So what about someone like me? I'll probably never reach the top 50 in EXP. The highest I expect to reach right now is the top 200.

Oh, you'll get there, too. As long as you don't pull a PureLionHeart or two.

Just ask Coop if he has any doubt where he's concerned. And then look at your comparitive stats.

Apparently they're not just logging thieves... they're also attention whores?

Don't forget your Wii thread.

Ah, good point. Thanks for mentioning that. #;-}> First thread aside from my Wii thread in years, then. Probably since my b/p retirement thread in 2005. Or my 999999/1000000 thread. Can't remember if that was before or after the retirement thread...
