Yes, but what sports would Newgrounds Nation be any good at? I can't do cricket, as I'd need 10 more blokes to help and a similar situation for Fro and American Football, neither of which I'm entirely sure are Olympic disciplines.

This is why we better start practicing now.

Alright, I'm off to the pitch later.

Yes. On Clock Day, I will be playing cricket.

You might be alright at the shooting though, with your mega-flare :P

Alright? I think I'd do really good at shooting. If I don't win gold medal, I'll be disappointed.

I don't know. Sonic is pretty good with a gun. God only knows why.

Basically you can just listen to it and you will have 'seen' all four movies in 4 minutes.

Search again for it - GuyzNite is the band and the HD video is much better.

Lol XD

I think it's fair to say that I've seen all the die hard movies now.

I have it on my iPod now and driving along with Bex trying to wrestle control of the iPod from the dashboard, while I'm driving is not the safest thing I've ever done :P

Heh I don't think my gf would appreciate it if I had so much facial hair. But since your gf is okay with it, at least let it grow into a beard ;)

Evolution won't let me - too patchy on the sides of my face, I'm afraid

Oh but you can shave it there and grow something Abraham Lincoln-y.

Four score and ... I can't think of a Lincoln joke.

Yes Greg, he's 37th now >:)

Still got to take your digs at gfox don't you. Anyways, yes, Wheat, Simmons, and Hornsby/Beckly are next though for this season he might make it to Simmons at 2,927.

Here's hoping. I want to have a less than 100 hit half season to get to 3k before the all star break.

By the end of next year, I can see Jeter looking into the top 20, which would really start the big numbers looking close.

Top 20? So 3,060 by the end of the year? A little optimistic are we. :P

By the end of 2011, that's not optimistic, that's almost normal pace!

Oh, and speaking of hits milestones, A-Rod has moved up to 72nd. We'll see where he ends up, but I believe that he's got an outside shot at 3,000 - over 5 seasons, he needs to average 72 hits per year for that.

3,000 should be easy for him to reach, assuming he doesn't go through a major slump.

Well, 4-5 yesterday with 3 HRs was a good start on that track.

78,000 B/P

Meh, nothing much, I'm off to play some cricket. Toodles.

Happy Clock Day everyone! Hope to Christ I can get an elusive blam, though since I will be busy for much of the day that task is somewhat more difficult than usual.

Meh, Clockday has been slow thus far and people are voting much lower than usual. My flash actually received a bunch of zero votes after it passed judgment which is lame.

I got a feeling this might be the lamest Clockday yet.

Fair enough, I just felt given how well Poison Ivy and the Scarecrow hallucinations were done the other boss battles could have been done better, the Titan ones and Killer Croc being the ones I'd pick on most.

I can see that but I suppose not all performances can be on that level of magnitude.

I thought the sticker would be on the pan anyway.

Can never have enough :P

But one is enough for a pan.

We could do with someone playing the vuvuzela. Would that be alright with you?

Could I be a self-loathing musician? Give me some time to think about that.

You seem happy enough with the vuvuzela so welcome aboard.

That's talking about your freedom, though. As for me, I guess we were all lucky. Wonchop really pissed off Luis but his account is still intact. :P

If you're awesome enough you can get away with anything :P

I guess that's why Luis didn't get my account deleted either. After all, I did get my car stuck with his as seen at 2:23.

We have byteslinger and AllReligiousDrunk from time to time.

Wait, do dick swords grow like that? o_O You do realise I can only see an actual dragon cock when I look at my crotch, right?

Yep, first it's like a swiss knife and then it'll grow out to be like the level 55 icon. Actually, the NG level system represents the maturing of a dragons crotch well.

That's what you see in my dragon crotch. I don't see it at all.

Then you can get all 120 coins again.

But that'll only net me one star =/

At least it's something to do.

Yep, that's far too much attention for me.

Not to mention a major annoyance having all those F16's flying around you all day trying to sting you with missiles and other crap.

And none of us wants that. I've got to stay alive!

You're right but WE can still make VG better with our quality posts.

Hmm maybe the videogame forum will be easier to convert to our ways than the general forum...

Come to think about it, VG is easier to take over. However, we can't share ALL our revolution plans over there. Still, we could do with more assistance over there.

Nah, I can't do all of that by Sunday. I should have them all done (besides 2010) by the end of next week.

Well that'd be nice. I'm sure it was a lot of work going through the thousands of spammy clockday submissions.

It was and wasn't. While there were many spammy submissions, they were easy icons.

No worries about that anymore, the review is now back up on TGWTG.

Lol, so much for Tommy's bitching.

Nothing can stop him from the second upload of the review and he's got to deal with it!

No no no, she is a dragon and I swear to it.

Lilith can probably shapeshift just as well as dragons can.

Seriously, she's a dragon! She isn't a Lilith or anything so stop saying that! You don't realise how lonely I am.

Again, I can't have too much attention.

... good point. You wouldn't want the NG Meet ruined by tons of people wanting to take pictures of a real dragon.

Well, I wouldn't mind having tons of pictures of myself but then I'll feel guilty for those who hardly got any pictures because of the attention I received.

Here is to hoping that it is just due to the usual sunday morning slowness. I picked up a nice group of saves (almost had a blam!) in the early hours of sunday and this morning has given maybe 40-50 more. Usually around 5-6PM eastern the portal starts overflowing with UJ entries.

Clock day seems pretty tame this year. I remember Clock day '08 being absolutely mental and I ended up reaping over 1,000 saves for the day... what's happened to this grand tradition? :(

How's everybody else enjoying the day?

Yep. Also, it's very hard to finish the studies in only 9 semesters. I only know of one person who did it out of all the guys and girls I started studying with.

9 semesters? Yeah, that's short though still half a year longer than how long it's supposed to take right?

No, the framework tells me I should finish in 9 semesters. But most people need 12 or even more semesters. Next semester will be my 11th.

I got 3 years for my bachelor, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna take me at least 1 year longer. In my studies that's quite normal =/

I wonder who works out those frameworks anyway. Those people seem to think that a student only lives to study and learn and has more than enough money to pay any tuitions without having to work in a sidejob.

We coulnd't also play in Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. Oh, and no Denmark and Holland as well, as there are quite a number of people who at least can read german.

Oh well, if we just play in the Western borders of Switzerland and Holland, South in Belgium and North in Denmark I'm pretty sure nobody would speak German. That still leaves Liechtenstein and Luxembourg, but only three people live there anyway so that's no big loss.

But I want to play shows in my home country as well.

Neuk sounds good. We could also include "swaffelen". ^^

|= |

I bet you guys can't even pronounce it right...

Which one, neuk or swaffelen? :P

Swaffelen.

I bet you would do that 'sch' stuff, but the UK'ers will probably have most trouble with it.

There are some "sch"/"sh" sounds in the english language. If you are talking about a "sh" like in "shoe", that is.

But yeah, my knowledge of the dutch language is very limited. I only know you pronounce the 'g' a bit like we pronounce our 'ch' in words like "Bach" or "Buch".
Oh, and "ij" is pronounced a bit like our "ei". So the "Meijer" is pronounced like "Meier" in german. ^^

Yep, we do that ggggg, but even in Holland there are certain regions where people can't do that.

I always wince a bit if people here say "van Gaal" with a "g" like in "Go".

And "ei" and "ij" are the same here. I don't know why we actually have different ways of writing them =/

Because they are different languages? :P
Some languages have the character "ÿ" in their alphabet, I read it derived from "ij".

Well, it was pretty tame in 2009 compared to 2008, too. Things have definitely been on the downslide for a bit, so this year is no surprise.

Anyway, one thing's for sure: there's plenty of voters in the portal for Clock Day. Just not enough submitters. Since about noon NG time, the saves aren't around for long, though they were the first 12 hours of the day... but the quantity just isn't there. Next year's the big 1-0, so it might have a bit of a boost, but I think we can expect the downward slide to be back by 2012, and probably never let up till CD dies. ;_;

Well, it was pretty tame in 2009 compared to 2008, too. Things have definitely been on the downslide for a bit, so this year is no surprise.

Yeah, I expected this Clock Day to be much slower than last years (and last years was already slow), so I'm not too disappointed. Also, I had an appointment on Sunday (at least I got 20 bucks for it), so I missed a few hours of voting.
Towards the evening (evening in GMT+1 that is) the portal sped up a bit, but around that time I had to go to bed, which sucked...
Well, I got around 120 saves this year (NG logs says 143, but I got a 21 saves headstart from the day before). I was hoping for 200 saves and I could've reached that goal if I could've spend some more time in the portal.

Anyway, one thing's for sure: there's plenty of voters in the portal for Clock Day. Just not enough submitters.

I couldn't download the Flash Trial from adobe. It just wouldn't let me log in. >:(
So I couldn't submit my two movies.

Next year's the big 1-0, so it might have a bit of a boost, but I think we can expect the downward slide to be back by 2012, and probably never let up till CD dies. ;_;

Maybe it has something to do with the newer users don't even know what the Clock Crew is?
Anyway, I wasn't that hyped before Clock Day anyway, and I doubt it will ever be as mental as '08.

Damn, mine hasn't arrived yet!

I pre-ordered mine early. Plus, HMV have been reliable with shipping.

Same here - Play posted it on the 12th, so it should be here today...

Yes. On Clock Day, I will be playing cricket.

There goes a lot of save points for you. :P

Tell me about it.

Alright? I think I'd do really good at shooting. If I don't win gold medal, I'll be disappointed.

I don't know. Sonic is pretty good with a gun. God only knows why.

Why Sonic? I remember Shadow with one, though...

Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is one of the games that I've played, sadly :P

Have fun my boy I hope you lose or get beaten by bats.

We won - our 7th of the year and we're in a solid 2nd place - we could be tied for first, if Coseley beat Bridgnorth yesterday.

Haha, whoops I misread that and thought you meant the end of this year. :P But yes, he should own it by then.

Exactly - I won't predict blistering pace for my favourites, merely that they will do standard achievements. Albert will get to 400 HR later this month, Ichiro will get to 200 hits, etc.

Well, 4-5 yesterday with 3 HRs was a good start on that track.

Good Lord, every time I shit talk A-Rod he does something epic. I probably should shut up before he has another 3 HR game. Ha!

And he went 0-for last night :P

Meh, nothing much, I'm off to play some cricket. Toodles.

You want borrow my goggles?

Nah, I don't play cricket in goggles.

My second submission yesterday, in an attempt to make clockday a tiny little bit better. I got 217 saves, which is of course terrible and yesterdays clockday was pretty bad altogether if you ask me (worst clockday yet). I don't even care so much about the saves. I already accepted a low turn-out this year when I woke up and saw the portal in the morning.

I think it's mostly the general attitude a lot of people had that bothered me. I saw a lot of people in the general forum who told everyone to go vote 0 and such, up to the point where it almost became trolling. Of course there is always your occasional (what we call a) ´moralknight´ but those were always just noobs who witnessed their first clockday and went berserk over it. This year it seemed like even more experienced users wanted to ruin it, just for the sake of ruining it. I thought it were mostly the pre-08'ers who really wanted to make something out of it this year, and make it better than 2009. Most of the rest didn't care much for that or just wanted to fuck it up for everyone.

Also, I'm very disappointed in what the top 5 of yesterday looks like. The winning submissions just barely got a score over 4.00 and I got a feeling that some of those submissions would've gotten a better score if they were submitted on an ordinary day. I think those 0-voters I mentioned before just didn't look at what they were 0-voting and so they also ended up voting down the good stuff.

The absence of any admin was also something. By the time the clockday header was put up, it was already 8 PM here in Europe and not even a single "happy clockday" newspost... I get that it's Sunday and it's not really a workday for them, but just a silly little post and putting the banner up sooner would've been nice.

Those are my thoughts on clockday and what might've been wrong with it. I hope next year will turn out to be better, but I doubt it. Especially now that the newer generations haven't seen a really good clockday yet and they probably won't care so much about it anymore at some point. It looks like it'll be a party for the older users eventually.

I'll post replies later.

CD10 was crap, got no blams, moving on.

Fair enough, I just felt given how well Poison Ivy and the Scarecrow hallucinations were done the other boss battles could have been done better, the Titan ones and Killer Croc being the ones I'd pick on most.

I can see that but I suppose not all performances can be on that level of magnitude.

True I suppose.

I thought the sticker would be on the pan anyway.

Can never have enough :P

But one is enough for a pan.

OR IS IT?

Probably

We could do with someone playing the vuvuzela. Would that be alright with you?

Could I be a self-loathing musician? Give me some time to think about that.

BBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

You seem happy enough with the vuvuzela so welcome aboard.

Thank you, I shall make you all proud.

*ahem* BBBBBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

That's talking about your freedom, though. As for me, I guess we were all lucky. Wonchop really pissed off Luis but his account is still intact. :P

If you're awesome enough you can get away with anything :P

I guess that's why Luis didn't get my account deleted either. After all, I did get my car stuck with his as seen at 2:23.

That and angering a dragon is even less wise than an admin.

Thank You to: -

So what the hell happened to Clock day this year?! Possibly the worst one I've seen, although 138 saves for the day was enough to gain me the 150th spot for overall B/P. Dunno if that counts on your lists and all that but yeah.

I think the Clock crew need to pull their socks up next year for their 10th annual Clock day.
