To get to 200k B/P? We'll see how we are in 2021.

With the B/P trending the way it is, we'll barely be looking past 150k for me

I should be able to. I feel that there are some things in life that I am entitled to.

We could do without the aspies.

I'd have said lacked the balls, or didn't have the balls in this sense, since missing them was something that Johan Cruijff never did in his career. Now his son Jordi, on the other hand, when he played for Man Utd...

He never really managed to live up to his fathers reputation, did he? Well you can call him pretty succesful as a football player, but I believe he spend most of his years at a mediocre club in Spain and has never been anything more than the "son of". Correct me if I'm wrong.

Famous sons rarely do. The only ones I can think of sporting wise would be Brett Hull son of Bobby Hull (NHLers) and Barry Bonds, son of Bobby Bonds (Both baseball players). Sons of the truly greats never amount to as much as their famous fathers, the expectation is too great.

Dude your ratio is amazing. It's practically 1:1
I have 1.1k blams and 19.5k saves.
I used to just do saves but when I was somewhere over 10k saves I decided that was fucking stupid.
I want to make my ratio more normal, but I'm still saving whenever I get the chance so it'll take a while.
I don't worry about it too much, I just go for b/p points rather than blams and saves.

It's different for people who signed up way back when because blams were common. Nowadays there are like 8 flashes that pass for every blam.

150,000 Total Points

10th person ever to reach this momentous milestone and now to chase down ramagi for 9th on the all time Pentalist. Of course, I should be focusing on how I perform on the Hexalist these days as well, since medals are still in vogue.

But this achievement is massive, but hopefully not the most massive one I have this year.

45,000 B/P points.

In that case sir, may I be the first to express my humble contrafibularities?

Ah, but this isn't a word you'd find in any dictionary (except for urban dictionary). Anyway, the word "contrafibularities" seems to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Ah, but according to various sources, those words have meaning.

Interesting. But I only found an entry in urban dictionary when looking for contrafibularities.

Ah, the magic of Hollywood :P

Yes. Magic. That's what we can see every day in video games when some extraterrestrian species suddendly speaks perfect english.

Either magic or it's the babelfish.

"Extraterrestrial"

Oh.

Ah, the wonderful world of Douglas Adams - he will be sorely missed.

Indeed. Even though I think (or at least that's what I read somewhere) he would it like better if he was remembered for "Last Chance to See" rather than "Hitchhiker".

I would assume that morning and moaning are different in German, thus they don't sound alike.

"Morgen" and "Jammer"... no, doesn't sound alike. ^^

Exactly - these sorts of subtle jokes are lost in translation. I suspect they are not as funny if your first language is not English.

But it's funny if you see something that is supposed to be german but doesn't make any sense at all. For example in Hogan's Heroes there where boxes that had "Dies Ende auf" written on them, supposedly a translation of "this end up". Well it is a translation, but a word-by-word one. "Dies Ende auf" doesn't make any sense. ^^

Not only differences in language, but also in grammar, it would appear.

Yeah, there are some differences in grammar, but basically german and english grammar are very similar (which makes learning the language a lot easier).
But you'd never say "Ende" or "end" when referring to a box. More like "Seite" or "side". And "auf" usually means "on top of something".
So, a better translation would be "Diese Seite nach oben" ("this side up").

This Lulu can't even cast magic.

But on the other hand this Lulu didn't get impregnated by Wakka.

You didn't even see the Monday Metal Treasures post for Manowar?

Nope.

Too bad, you missed out on a great post.

A good post about a shitty band. I'm not interested.

Come to a meet with us and we'll debate then.

Ok, there's a very very very VERY small chance that I am in Manchester on December 7th for the champions league match Man City vs Bayern Munich. I bet there's some time before or after the game where we could meet for a pint or two. How does that sound?

7th December? Could have sworn I had something planned then.

Too bad.
Ah well, I propably can't afford to go to that match anyway. :/

So the latest addition is... Whatever the hell we were talking about.

Yes. But PAL IS the better system, no matter how you put it. ;)

Oh I see where we were now. Shame you didn't say that "You agree that PAL is better." but that's clearly not the case.

Again, you cannot blame the PAL system for shitty conversions. It's like blaming a TV for showing shitty TV stations. ;)

I think as long as you vote honestly on every flash, you shouldn't be too worried about your ratio. I think it used to be that the portal was filled with much crappier stuff which was easy to blam, and therefore it was easier to keep something like a 1:1 ratio (for a long time my blams outstripped my saves). Nowadays, my impression is that stuff which comes through the portal is of higher quality... and that people have become a lot more lenient in their voting... Either way, if you try to keep your blams and saves together, I think you're going to struggle.
That's why as long as you give each flash the vote you think it deserves, I don't think you should worry about it too much.

Yeah, that would drive me insane. I don't even know why. It just would. I'd have to spend like a year getting not a single save and just concentrating on the blams.

I want to make my ratio more normal, but I'm still saving whenever I get the chance so it'll take a while.

Good luck with that, it is probibly going to take a while. But it's something t6o work on I guess.

It's different for people who signed up way back when because blams were common. Nowadays there are like 8 flashes that pass for every blam.

Yeah, even in the time that I've been here I've noticed that the ratio of flashes that get saved compared to the ones that get blamed has changed quite a lot.

IF we are getting the redesign very soon, I'm guessing it'll be a week after Halloween. That'll have the icon mod charity month out of the way.

And I also believe Jeff is going to remove some golden icons and make them start at level 50.

That actually sounds good to me. Sure, I'm not even level 50 yet but I will be in January so it won't be long before I re-enter the golden levels. I always thought the golden levels should start from level 50 to round it off nicely. Here's hoping from the golden levels, they keep the gauntlet, both swords, golden skull and the old level 30 spear. LET THE STUPID BOW AND ARROW DIE!

Leveled from 33 to 34.

You're not level 49.

Not THAT long to go now! Fuck saves.

Does this mean you're getting to 77,777 saves?

Damn straight. I'm proud of my blams forever remaining higher than my saves.

So you've cost him over $100 personally. Impressive. Get more made!

I was hoping to get to 3,000 but I may end up slipping over the next two days. I suppose I've done enough already so it's hard to complain if I don't reach 3,000 this month. A few others have made a fair amount so it's all good. I'll take it easy and set 15,000 icons in total as my goal for the month.

But you shouldn't have to get Lulu when you can listen to it online. You're better off getting Morbid Angel's Illud Divinum Insanus.

I don't know it. Besides, I'll listen to it and see what comes of it. I got sent a copy of Akh-toong Bay-bi, the covers of U2's iconic album, Achtung, baby and it's really good. Not what you'd listen to, but I can certainly say that it's different.

Different =/= good. That's clearly the case for Lulu and InSANUS.

I hope they don't go that far. Something like 70,000 would be fine with me.

Stop kidding me, you know that you want them to make top rank, 77,777 B/P :P

Now that would be cool.

They never wash anyway, lol.

O.o I feel slightly sick now...

So do I.

Mine has already started :(

TOM! REDESIGN!

Well, if NG hads updated by now, I'd have been the unofficial, official 100th highest grossing Experience gainer of all time.

That said, it really needs me to pass playtoy-animebastard to officially reach 100th :P

Congratulations to:
HeavyTank - Level 35 & 27,000 B/P
Kevin - Level 34
Gagsy - 65,000 saves
Gimmick - 8,000 posts
Martin - 44,000 B/P
Pokemonpoeguygcn - top 40 B/P

Ah, but this isn't a word you'd find in any dictionary (except for urban dictionary). Anyway, the word "contrafibularities" seems to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Ah, but according to various sources, those words have meaning.

Interesting. But I only found an entry in urban dictionary when looking for contrafibularities.

Right, here's the extended piece about contrafibularities

This one might be better

Interesting reads. But I don't think I can add that word to my active vocabulary, lol.

Not only differences in language, but also in grammar, it would appear.

Yeah, there are some differences in grammar, but basically german and english grammar are very similar (which makes learning the language a lot easier).
But you'd never say "Ende" or "end" when referring to a box. More like "Seite" or "side". And "auf" usually means "on top of something".
So, a better translation would be "Diese Seite nach oben" ("this side up").

That's what you get when someone that doesn't speak the language translates it, as opposed to someone who understands what the hell they are talking about. Perhaps you'd have a better stab at translating 'Allo 'Allo?

According to Wikipedia 'Allo 'Allo was aired on a station I didn't even knew existed. Also, why are british people so obsessed with WW II? ^^
Anyway, I think the translators that translated Monty Python's Flying Circus did a pretty good job. Especially in that episode with "Mr. Hilter".
Also, there are (I think) two episodes completly in german. Very interesting if you keep in mind that none of the Pythons spoke a single word german. They just learned how to pronounce the words, that's all.

Mind you, the candle with the handle, the jug with the drug and the other rhymes they used would be very difficult to translate as well.

You'd just have to find different rhymes.

But on the other hand this Lulu didn't get impregnated by Wakka.

This Lulu happens to be some prostitute or some shit.

Or some shitty prostitute?

Too bad, you missed out on a great post.

A good post about a shitty band. I'm not interested.

Except the band isn't shit.

It is.

Oh I see where we were now. Shame you didn't say that "You agree that PAL is better." but that's clearly not the case.

Again, you cannot blame the PAL system for shitty conversions.

Not if it's Sonic or Megaman. They were pissed on entirely for PAL conversion. NTSC had no trouble.

Well of course NTSC had no trouble because it didn't had to be conversed for NTSC.

You can easily determine oldschoolers from others with a huge B/P amount if they have more Blams than Saves :)

Well, I have more saves than blams, but that's just how it is now. At least I'm well above 10k blams and my save/blam ratio is pretty steady at about 2 (give or take a few).
