£55 per night is cheap. Where is that?

I'm not sure, never having been to Manchester, but according to my friends at Google, it was across the city centre. It all depends on the local transport and how much that would cost as to how much of a saving it really was...

Go right ahead but Manchester meet isn't for any stupid football debates.

Unless someone is making a flash about it.

Of course. Maybe I can get there by the end of the year.

On my pace over the weekend, I'll be lucky to hit 22,000 by the end of the year :P

You should get there just fine. I better make sure I keep my posting pace steady.

Should do - modding helps with that.

I never confirmed the booking but that is the most likely case.

Well, you knew what I meant.

I'll give it until four weeks prior to the meet to see if you or Odyssic can be at the same hotel anywhere.

I'll be consolidating, having invested heavily over the past few weeks and now needing to let the bank balance recover.

My apologies - 20 or 24 points for a win, none for a loss and bonus points awarded for wickets (1 point each for 3, 5, 7 and 9 wickets) and runs (1 point each for 125, 150, 175 and 200 runs scored) Don't get into draws, I'm not sure how that works, myself. I've been the club's official scorer for 1 season and I don't know the rules! YAY!

So 20 or 24 points depending on what?

Who bats first. It's a shitty device to encourage you to bat first - if you don't you can only get 20 points for chasing down the opposition's total.

And official scorer? Is that like the top scorer of your team?

No, I sit there with the score book and note every ball and detail of the game. I get paid for it (not just in alcohol!) and join in with the fun.

On a side note:

I went to see the film Melancholia today. I could've sworn Coop is in it :p

That's weird. I don't remember ever wearing an outfit so bland...

Redesign!

Splendid idea! I'm sure all that gold will lose its shine pretty soon.

My gold is still bright.

You know I don't want them to go up to 100,000.

Nope, cause that means you'll have to get out of retirement. If you want to stay at the top rank that is.

And I'd have to get to 77,777 blams. I wouldn't mind as much if I had 50k blams.

Yeah I agree. I thought they were enjoyable too.

That Tekken film seemed pretty bad to me. It doesn't look like it has much to do with Tekken to begin with :p

Which Tekken film are we talking about? I thought both had a fair amount of relevance to the games themselves which is a huge surprise.

We've already got lame spinoffs for Puss in Boots. I swear, Shrek has some really shit humour at times.

Yeah that's exactly what I was referring to. My God. It's bad enough that we got FOUR Shrek films and three Christmas specials already.

You know what, Shrek just sucks. Period.

But some of them are bad.

Especially Blitzball. Fuck Wacka's ultimate weapon.

I fought hard to get that.

Lol.

Yeah, if you bat first and set a daunting total of 300+, the opposition isn't as likely to chase that down, as if the batting team only gets 100-150 runs, which can be chased down.

Personally, I hate this rule, it it supposed to stop "negative cricket", but I disagree.

Time will fly and you'll find yourself there. I just wonder when I'll fall off the top 50. Auz will put me down to #23 within a day or two. The highest rank I've ever had is 14.

If only more flashes would get blammed my pace would be significantly higher.

If anything, the users on the internet are taking a turn for the worse.

I don't know about that. I'm pretty good in ignoring imature users.

Good for you. I suppose I can't do that since I have to deal with them all the time.

Well, that's the disadvantage of being a mod.

This joke actually was better than the one before. So this is the best joke ever and the one above now is only the second best.

Duke Nukem came out before NeMeSiSM reached Supreme Commander.

This isn't so funny as the joke above.

I agree, mocking Ultor or whatever he calls himself now is a lot funnier. NeMeSiSM is just trolling us.

Wade should clear out some flagged flashes to give NeMeSiSM a few extra blams.

But you cannot make a thin girl out of a fat boy. No matter how good the corset is.

Dude! I'm not even into fucking musicals! Nor the Eurovision Song Festival.

There's only one good musical and that's "Hair".

Never seen that one. Does that contain a lot of hair metal?

No. More like a lot of hippy music.

No no, it's *cool face*

Well we can probably get an infinite amount of bottomless bag material from one bottomless bag, so we can make an infinite amount of bottomless bags from that.

But a bottomless bag is so small on the outside. If we carve off the inside, then surely the outside will come off, too and then we only have a small amout of material.

Shit!

Can we make wormholes out of it then?

Interesting thought. I really don't know.

Oh yeah a friend of mine told me he was in a traffic jam in Germany once and a car actually came through the middle :p

As long as it was driving under blue light then it's all right. ^^
I usually only see motorcycles going through the middle. It's too narrow for cars anyway... XD

I bet it was a BMW. Assholes -.-'

Mercedes is even worse.

Oh we use "fucking" in front of our curse words. Like "fucking tyfuszooi". Oddly enough we literally use "fucking" often though and not "neuken" or any other translation of it.

If I use the word "Fuck" I only use it as a single word, not to emphazise another swear word.

Otherwise you say "Ficke...n"?

More like "fickpisse" (pisse = piss). But that's not a word you would hear very often. I guess it's not exactly well known, heh.

I still can't believe our culture and arts highschool teacher actually made us watch it.

Did he use it as a bad example for CGI effects?

No I think this one was just for entertainment. Unfortunately.

Oh well. Bad entertainment is still enternainment.

I know he showed the other class The Wall. Why didn't we get to see that one? >.<

Haven't seen that one yet. :(

A twist!? 0.0

Like one of the girls turns out to be a man?

No, more like... for example the priest in "Halfway House" turned out to be rather evil.

Dam dam dam!

Were there any oh so obvious hints during the film? Like he was named Synestro or something? :P

Well... he liked to spank girls with his jesus paddle.

Well maybe I'll find out that's my kind of thing :p

Nasty.

Hey I don't know (yet).

Still nasty.

All tits look nice when you're drunk :p

No, there are tits that will look ugly no matter how drunk you are.

Like... manboobs?

For example.

Well that's still better than us.

I'd rather see it if we wouldn't sell war material to different countries.

Oh yeah, that's the anime. The plot may have not done much but at least they were able to get the images of the characters right. Then again, the live action film didn't do too bad with that. A fair amount of them looked very much alike to the video game counterpart.

You know what, Shrek just sucks. Period.

Well Shrek 2 was pretty entertaining in my opinion. Shrek 1 was alright, but from 3 onwards it really started to go downhill.

If I had to watch Shrek 3, I'd know I'm in hell.

I fought hard to get that.

Fought hard against boredom I bet.

Boredom and tediousness. It's so bad that I want to make a save point so whenever I want to play FFX again, I'll be able to skip the Blitzball crap. Then again, saying that I may as well have a save point to skip the excessive grinding just to beat Penance.

10,000 and you've been on NG for 9 months. Is that the fastest anybody has ever gotten 10k post?

I'm sure those from 2003-2005 were able to make that many posts within a short amount of time. After all, that was ZAAL's peak as well as other top posters. It took me 12 months to get my first 10,000 posts but it took almost 4 years after that just to get to 20k. I suffered a decline with posting activity in 2006-2009 but 2010 was when I picked up. I'm still not at the posting pace I had back in 2005 but then again, my posts were full of crap back then so I don't want to go back there.

From what I find in the glossary of cricket terms it's called "Run Chase", but I still don't see what the tactical disadvantage is. Other than that it's perhaps easier to strive for beating the opponents score than to strive for a score as high as possible.

Yep. In fact, I think I am now about 10,000 blams further since the redesign, so uh... expect it to take four years at least.

Wasn't it the one with the Cowboy Bebop scene (at ±00:48, Spooney made a reference to the music) and with the invisible dinosaurs and other bullcrap?

Oh yeah, that's the anime. The plot may have not done much but at least they were able to get the images of the characters right. Then again, the live action film didn't do too bad with that. A fair amount of them looked very much alike to the video game counterpart.

Oh I see I haven't actually viewed that review yet. Watching it right now. At least the film looks good on the outside, but what can you expect for a $35,000,000 budget.

Well Shrek 2 was pretty entertaining in my opinion. Shrek 1 was alright, but from 3 onwards it really started to go downhill.

If I had to watch Shrek 3, I'd know I'm in hell.

Well Shrek 4 is even worse than that, so you better prepare yourself when someone ever gets the bright idea to watch it with you.

Fought hard against boredom I bet.

Boredom and tediousness. It's so bad that I want to make a save point so whenever I want to play FFX again, I'll be able to skip the Blitzball crap. Then again, saying that I may as well have a save point to skip the excessive grinding just to beat Penance.

Well at least with grinding you can sort of make it fun by fighting different monsters and going to different areas.

Today 9/7/11 almost 5 years after I started this long journey I have become the 196th Supreme Commander!

I do try to blam crap that people bring up to me or I see when I deposit my alts.

All those "games2dress" or "games4girls" or whatever those accounts are called need to get banned from submitting. To be honest, whenever I read the "use mouse to interact" in the description I don't even watch the flash/play the game anymore. It's an instant blam from me... :/

Good for you. I suppose I can't do that since I have to deal with them all the time.

Well, that's the disadvantage of being a mod.

Very much so. Well, I could avoid General if I wanted but that forum needs modding the most so I can't run away from it.

Yeah, but it would still be a sweaty, fat boy and he would still look like one. Even with the added boobs.

Never seen that one. Does that contain a lot of hair metal?

No. More like a lot of hippy music.

*troll face* would be more appropriate.

No no, it's *cool face*

Naaaah cool face is more like this.

It looks cool, but you cannot say "Problem?" and get away with everything.
It even works for Anton Chigurh!

Shit!

Can we make wormholes out of it then?

Interesting thought. I really don't know.

I guess I better ask the guys at the CERN lab in Geneva.

We could also ask Benjamin Sisko from Deep Space 9.

I bet it was a BMW. Assholes -.-'

Mercedes is even worse.

Not in Holland they aren't. The BMW drivers are known to be the biggest assholes in traffic.

We always say 'Mercedes has a build in "right of way"', because drivers are known for their rude behaviour and that "I can do whatever I want because I am rich!!!1111" attitude.

Otherwise you say "Ficke...n"?

More like "fickpisse" (pisse = piss). But that's not a word you would hear very often. I guess it's not exactly well known, heh.

"Fuckpiss" just sounds wrong anyway :p

Well.... yeah. Kind of. ^^

I know he showed the other class The Wall. Why didn't we get to see that one? >.<

Haven't seen that one yet. :(

Well if you like Pink Floyd then you should probably watch it. Also if you're into surreal films.

Pink Floyd is nice, but I'm not that much into them.

Dam dam dam!

Were there any oh so obvious hints during the film? Like he was named Synestro or something? :P

Well... he liked to spank girls with his jesus paddle.

I don't see what's wrong with that :p

Yes, but he's a priest. He shouldn't do that.

It always does. Infact, modding was what boosted my posting pace from 12 months back and is still doing that.

Mine was, but it seems as if someone is deleting threads that I've locked and my post count has never seemed all that padded by it.

Yeah, if you bat first and set a daunting total of 300+, the opposition isn't as likely to chase that down, as if the batting team only gets 100-150 runs, which can be chased down.

Personally, I hate this rule, it it supposed to stop "negative cricket", but I disagree.

From what I find in the glossary of cricket terms it's called "Run Chase", but I still don't see what the tactical disadvantage is. Other than that it's perhaps easier to strive for beating the opponents score than to strive for a score as high as possible.

Chasing a score successfully means that you could have scored more and the game will end earlier, so will be less entertaining. I disagree, because if the game ends earlier, we get to go to the bar sooner.

Lol. Well I suppose normally the coaches and referees should remember such things, but I guess it might be a bit difficult thinking up strategies, watching everything AND keeping track of the match details if it's such a complicated sport. Or at least, the scoring system sounds fairly complicated compared to football and basketball.

It's just a lot of paperwork. I'll be attending a course to make me a proper scorer soon, so that should be fun.

They even have courses for that? Lol!

Here is a manual. If you find this complex, search for a cricket scoresheet ;)

Well it's a wedding suit so that figures :p

The last wedding suit I wore had a pink tie.

Oh boy. When it comes to ties I think I'd rather stick to either a plain dark blue one or none at all.

The fact that you can be the most embarrassing person at the wedding (unless the bride's father decides to dance) and make the groom uncomfortable.

It's also the responsibility of being the "go-to" guy, as you keep him in one piece (we had 2 or 3 breakdowns and most of them could be solved by me waving two rings in front of his eyes) "We still have the rings, you're here, Nat's just over the fence, get in the damned church!"
