I don't think that problem occurred. Then again, the main problem with the show in London last year was the sound quality.

Oh well, maybe he learned another word or two then. But if you listen to their Tokyo Tales album you hear what I mean.

Yep, the fish will also be looked after.

I'd like to hear why.

Why? Because they are turtles!

To play a game of football all you need is some grassland. You should have some of that in Delft. ^^

Actually, I don't know one single football field. I know there are some parks on the north side of town, but I've never been there yet.

Karaoke... I don't know, I'm not interested in that. XD

Me neither, but I guess it could be fun once everybody had a few drinks.

I'm sure plenty of people will be interested.

I guess so. But I would stick to beer, nevertheless. I'm a non-smoker, and smoking weed does nothing for me, except for sending me into a coughing fit. ^^

Well that's what I thought too at first and at second, but then I got a little too enthusiastic one night with a certain kind of cake 0.o

Guess it's easier for you to get here, though I don't think there's a direct line between The Hague and Germany. In fact, I think the only international trains go from Amsterdam to The Hague to Rotterdam to Brussels, which are all nowhere near Germany.

It's possible to travel by bus. I had a quick look and I found a connection for 70 euros (it includes both travels, there and back again) from Hamburg to Den Haag.

Must be one of those special trips. With regular public transport I don't think 70 euros will be enough.

I suppose he takes the plane to Manchester?

Yes, there are some very cheap connections via Ryan Air. Sometimes he has to fly from Bremen, though.

Oh yeah, Ryan Air is one of the cheapest airlines if I remember correctly.

I didn't know the Egyptians had such technology as well. I thought the Egyptians didn't develop that many weapons to begin with. They must be one of the first then.

Probably not. There has been bow and arrow technology in ancient China and Japan as well so it must have been further back pre-written history that it was invented.

With one quick google search I find 40,000 years back or 15,000 years back, but they only became powerful at about 1,500 B.C. when it was made of a composite material.

It's weird that the Romans didn't use it themselves. Especially in those times it must've been a very effective weapon.

Archers are always susceptible to cavalry counter attack. So you'll need an army of infantry anyways to protect them. I guess they figured a line of swords and shield can grind any enemy into submission better than archers.

Could be the reason, but still... having a line of archers behind your infantry to shoot the front rows of your enemy has always seemed like a good way to start a battle in my view. But perhaps the romans hardly ever met enemies that were well organized and thus it wasn't much use showering them with arrows first because they were too scattered.

A bear mace? Never heard of it, but it sounds weird.

Yeah bear mace. It's just like any other mace spray except in a bigger can to throw the spray further.

Lol, so it's just some kind of pepper spray for bears? Awesome!

I guess that's easier to use than some rifle.

Oh yeah. I don't know how it is in America, but chickens tend to get diseases around here once every few years. You gotta be careful around those times.

Fish is not really a luxury here because we live close to the sea :)

I'm not too worried about avian bird flu or any of those exotic diseases, but rather common salmonella which is the most common cause of food poison.

Yeah, I'm mostly worried about salmonella. I haven't heard of any of such cases in a while though.

I think 100 days is still pretty long, and also, I think it will be kinda lame when we have dozens of people with level 60.

I'd hope that they go up to 100,000 BP points. Seems like a nice number to me which not so many people have achieved yet.

Again, it wouldn't be convenient for me. I think 70,000 would be good. ;)

I guess they could scale that up nicely. Four new ranks, 10,000 extra BP required for each and a 10% bonus to your VP with each level up. That'd give you a nice 100% bonus to your voting power at the end.

No beer bellies? No excessive amounts of 'bush'?

Took me at least 2 and a half years just to reach Police Lieutenant!

20,000 B/P!
According to NG Logs I got 152 blams in a little less than 23 hours. Nothing like that many submissions were blammed according to the obituaries and the only way I could possible get 152 is if a very prominent spammer or group of spammers was removed from the site. So I'm confused and very much hoping that it isn't a glitch or something and I lose them all.

I noticed this as well. My guess is that the Admins got around to deleted some of the stuff that got marked for review as I saw this gain as well. It goes to show you that even if it takes a while you will get the blams points from 0ing abusive flash along with Flagging it.

It usually goes the same in Europe, but with so many different countries packed together it's sometimes a little difficult to regulate. I don't think they all use the same rules and regulations so sometimes some infected chickens slip passed the borders.

I think 20.00 VP would be a nice maximum. It might also create some nice shifts in the VP rankings list. At least we will see less semi-retired EGSCs who haven't been around for years at the top. They can make way for some more active regulars who've done much more blamming and protecting in their careers.

Hannibal did a great job with elephants for the first fight with them, since they had no clue what they were. Of course the Romans figured to just let the elephants pass through since they naturally don't want to stomp on anybody.

Oh well, maybe he learned another word or two then. But if you listen to their Tokyo Tales album you hear what I mean.

I don't listen to live albums very often but when I listen to it again, I'll see what you were trying to say.

I often like live versions of songs better than the studio versions.

I'd like to hear why.

Why? Because they are turtles!

And because they live long?

And because they are turtles.
Also, wouldn't it be great to get a young turtle today and then pass it on to your kids when you are too old and your kids can pass it on to your grandchildren...

Happy now? >:(

Very happy! I needed to defeat you and I knew the funniest joke in the world would be the key.

So, the only way to defeat me is to kill me.... I have to build up a resistance to funny jokes. :/

Also, counter joke!
"There were zwei peanuts, walking down the straße, und one was a salted... peanut!"

Level 41!

I remember a time when there was only 13 Supreme Commanders.

When I signed up I think there were around... 15 and people like gfox, ramagi and fixit were holding the top spots.

Becoming Sup Commander is now more like the point where it begins.

We'll soon get 200 Supreme Commanders and at that point I should start consider expanding the list. :P

I think 300 users is enough already, but building it up to 400 or 500 is fine with me as well. I'm sure most people within those regions will love it.

I think 20.00 VP would be a nice maximum. It might also create some nice shifts in the VP rankings list. At least we will see less semi-retired EGSCs who haven't been around for years at the top. They can make way for some more active regulars who've done much more blamming and protecting in their careers.

Heh, that would put me in the top 20 VP. Crazy shit that is. That reminds me, we could do with another VP update soon.

I guess I will somewhere around there as well.

Didn't Wylo tell us to contact him if we wanted an update?

Oh right. You all become 1,000 years old at the very least. Unless some knight comes to slay you.

You think we're afraid of them?

Nah, you might need to be more afraid of some lame-ass who happens to get a lucky shot and hits your weak spot.

Hannibal did a great job with elephants for the first fight with them, since they had no clue what they were. Of course the Romans figured to just let the elephants pass through since they naturally don't want to stomp on anybody.

Apparently elephants don't work too well for war purposes. The riders of elephants always carried a mace with spikes with them so they could kill the elephant in case it charged at their own people.

I think one problem elephants have is that they don't realise how big they are :p Also, they're pretty compassionate animals, so I suppose it's hard to train them in hurting people.

You'd be very unlucky if you assaulted someone who carries that stuff around :p

Yeah but being assaulted with a taser would be much worse in my view. Pepper spray annoys the senses but a taser paralyzes you.

I don't know, I think pepper spray has a longer lasting effect. But tasers do have some potential to kill you if you're unlucky, so perhaps pepper spray is better.

It usually goes the same in Europe, but with so many different countries packed together it's sometimes a little difficult to regulate. I don't think they all use the same rules and regulations so sometimes some infected chickens slip passed the borders.

You would think that the EU would have just one standard when it comes to something like food safety and inter-country transport of food.

Maybe they have, but as you might know the EU is still a bit of mess.

A few months ago we had a problem with bad eggs coming in from Germany.

Funny to see how famous actors started their careers, often playing in silly commercials.

The best irony is that's how Joey was in Friends as well :P

Well at least he didn't turn out to be one of those actors who can really only play one role, or are casted for only one kind of role, right?

Parks are fine to play some football.

If they have a decently sized grass field, then yes they are. Preferably with two goals and no water around.

Me neither, but I guess it could be fun once everybody had a few drinks.

I never have been so drunk that I could see the fun in singing karaoke. ^^

Well there are certain songs that are just fun to sing along with. Like:

DUUUUHUUUUUUUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know though. Hearing 80% of the songs getting raped by people who can't sing for shit might not be THAT much fun.

Well that's what I thought too at first and at second, but then I got a little too enthusiastic one night with a certain kind of cake 0.o

And here am I, always thinking the cake was a lie. :/

The cake was the only thing that was not a lie that night 0.o

Must be one of those special trips. With regular public transport I don't think 70 euros will be enough.

I guess those bus lines can be compared to Greyhound busses in the USA.

Probably. There are some companies like Eurolines who have busses going from major city to major city. They'll drop you off in the early morning and can pick you up that evening (or the next morning, or a week later etc.). I think that's the kinda bus you have to go with.

Oh yeah, Ryan Air is one of the cheapest airlines if I remember correctly.

And they try to become even cheaper by charing you a small fee when you have to use the toilet. They are even thinking about introducing stances to planes... o_O

Oh yes I've heard of the standing places. Sounds pretty ridiculous but I guess it might work for very short trips. They shouldn't let people stand for any longer than an hour though.

Well, this is my 2000th post on Newgrounds, I guess I learned alot in the process.

Level 29! I don't like this level, looks like it should be much lower. Oh well, I'll move on soon enough.

11000 exp!

Good morning!

I see your point. However, I'm more used to taking care of budgies and rabbits, even though I lost my last one a while back as stated on my news post.

Yep, I remember those days very well. Now fixit is all the way down to #70. Wow, that's quite a drop. Eventually I'll be down there but it'll take years at the rate everyone is going. The next five to pass me are you, Gagsy, byteslinger, iscrulz and Pokemonpoeguygcn (wow, I actually got his name right without even looking). It's all good, though as I wanted the pressure of checking the portal all the time off me. However, I might need Portal Guard to speed up my blamming for Toohot100.

I might just have a fifth post as a bonus someday. The only problem is the fifth post wouldn't be possible if I step down from BBS modding or I pass it onto someone else so I have to be careful with that.

Hey, that's a guy Dream-of-Duke can pester. :P Nah, I can just drop Wylo a message on Steam requesting for a new update every four weeks.

Nah, you might need to be more afraid of some lame-ass who happens to get a lucky shot and hits your weak spot.

What is my weak spot anyway?
