Even now it's taking a while and the way the users up ahead are going, it may not be until level 57 when I finally get there so that's five levels away. I reach level 57 in April 2014 so while it might not be too far off, I'd like it to be sooner. Hopefully more drop dead like flies by then but at least for now I'm guaranteed to get in the top 100 providing none of the dead accounts above return or I disappear all of sudden.

I hope that I'm not one of these venerable users to predecease you quite yet.

I wouldn't dream of it just yet. Although, it is interesting to find out who out of the two of us will outlive the other on this site.

Hmm, an interesting little aside. I wonder...

And I don't have faith in anything. Well... This is a problem.

Over the years, I've become more of a believer in fate than anything. Everything happens for a reason.

Nihilism 4 lyfe

I'm not Nihilistic. I just don't believe in god. Agnostic, not Atheist.

I can't do anything on my own behalf. Maybe a request to Luis for a big event in 2014?

Well, it couldn't hurt. The worse he can say is "no".

Actually, worst he can say is "No, don't be such a fucking retard. Go kill yourself faggot."

Yes, because we all know that's how Lois handles all of those "tricky situations"

You really need to know which one? If I'm going to show off my dick...

You can show off your dick and keep your shorts on. Besides, with the temperature, you don't want to embarrass yourself ;)

Nah, I'll keep them shorts off. It won't be for long.

And speaking of tricky situations...

Where else can you come up with the name foobar from?

Or maybe it's just a cool name.

I'm not a great believer in coincidence :P

It's the name of a metasyntactic variable. You can also split it up into foo and bar. ;)

But isn't a Foo Bar already a chocolate bar, that's copyrighted by Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters?

I'm a controversial topic!

My Wiki article can't be edited by anyone :P

But that's only because it doesn't exist. :P

Damn you, seeing through my thinly veiled truth...

So? What about Wicker Man, then? I hear no objections, so far.

I don't know the song too well. Haven't heard much of Brave New World so far. But at least I didn't see any spandex in the video.

Dance of Death? That's a classy album, how about that one?

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't know much of the albums between Fear of the Dark and The Final Frontier.

Do you know any from Final Frontier, or were those terms inclusive?

I know Fear of the Dark and I bought The Final Frontier. But any albums in between, I don't know.

Alright, how about The Talisman?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESTWARD THE TIDE!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESTWARD WE SAIL ON!

Hier Kommt Alex was easier, though 99 Red Balloons was more difficult, because you're singing in English, then have to consciously switch to German, which I found difficult. Rammstein was just a clusterfuck for me.

Hey, I switch between languages all the time. You get used to it. Hier kommt Alex makes use of the "dialect" spoken in the Clockwork Orange, so maybe that makes things a bit easier. Like "roboten" isn't a real word, but it has the meaning of "going to work and do your stuff, like a robot".

I should study more for songs I sing.

Heh, music is a great way to learn a language.

Yes, I remember singing "Sur la pon d'Avignon" in French class. Not as much fun as you'd think.

When they fly past you on the Guitar Hero screen and you just mumble in a vague tune it sounds awful.

Don't worry, the lyrics also sound awful in the original. :P

I'll take that on advice.

So uh... WHAT... is your favorite colour?

Blue.

WHAT... is your favourite colour?

Green.

No, Red!
*AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh*

I thought that the answer was "Blue... no YELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!", but hey.

Artistic freedom. :P
So... WHAT... is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Is that an African or a European swallow?

Yep, I'm happy with it myself but what would make me happier is getting in the top 100 at long last. I may be close but it is so far away.

I know a few furries. Infact, I may become one. :P

No, in this case, you cannot say often enough how much it sucks.

Nah, the shark's good. Ask Gagsy about that. They still should have ditched that unicorn skull thing.

Yeah, I really haven't payed attention to the level icons too much since the redesign. Especially not to those lower level icons, heh.

It's not as memorable as the last but what do you expect when I start at level 50 for the 2012 icons?

At least I can get through weeks with ease so this will arrive quickly.

Only 3 more days!

2?

We just had fun for a long night. Nothing wrong with that since we're adults.

That's right.
I just remember one time, I came home at 5 in the morning, and I really had to eat something. I haven't eaten anything since like 6pm on the previous day. I have never been that hungry before...

I actually had breakfast at McDonalds afterwards.

Well, by the time it comes to 10 years for me, I'll have to admit that it will be hard to maintain my interest.

Don't often swing by these parts nowadays but my last deposit landed me in a fun position I thought worth sharing. Not only did I reach level 54 today, but my current EXP total would be enough to achieve level 23 on the original level system. So in a way, I leveled up twice today. YEAH.

Of course, with the sliding scale of the old system the higher level users would spend days swapping between their new and old level before it finally stabilised... but I'm claiming it now and changing my user icon for the first time since the redesign. Just gotta hunt that ugly dildo down...

You can but only in five years time. :P Loads of users in the top 100 will easily drop by then. It's the top 50 that we all should just forget about. Far too much competition to even get in.

Heh, I only occasionally check on where I am for the old level system. It's years until I can even get to level 23 on that so I may as well forget it for a long time. However, it is crazy knowing that if we still had that we'd have been on the same level for a while. We're not that close in terms of EXP but it shows how big the gaps would have been now.

Of course, it's better in private.

Hit 24,000 saves today, while ill. One part of that sentence is significantly better than the other part.

Sometimes, I think that religious folks use their faith as a cop-out for why they did or must do something. Suicide bombers, for example. "I'll get 72 virgins!" they cry. I'll trade them to live and to have one really experienced, clean woman, who is attracted to me. Then we'll see who can walk in the morning.

Does not missing a single deposit for my alts since the last update help? I have been slacking with them quite a bit but have shaped up over the last three weeks. Hopefully I can keep it this way.

You can but only in five years time. :P Loads of users in the top 100 will easily drop by then. It's the top 50 that we all should just forget about. Far too much competition to even get in.

Yeah, but will I still be here AND depositing regularly in 5 years? Will this site even exist in 5 years from now?

That's what you call a scalie.

I see. You learn something new every day... too bad, I would feel better if I HADN'T learned this today...

If it makes things worse for you, I consider myself part of that fandom.

Well, it doesn't affect me that much, but I never understood the appeal of dressing up as someone else. That's one of the reasons I hate carnival, heh.

It's not as memorable as the last but what do you expect when I start at level 50 for the 2012 icons?

Yeah. Also, the FAQ/wiki still hasn't been updated, so it's kinda hard to get a good look at the icons.

There's so many holes on this site still. For having them left like that for 9 months now, it's a joke.

Quite so. It shouldn't be too hard to write up the most basic features. Hell, they could even ask some users to do this.

2?

Yep.

Tomorrow?

TODAY!

I actually had breakfast at McDonalds afterwards.

Hooray for any McDonald's Restaurant that is opened 24 hours a day!

And hooray for a McDonalds that's open 24 hours a day and near to a rock/metal venue.

But BOOOO for a McDonald's that charges higher prices than all the others!

Does not missing a single deposit for my alts since the last update help? I have been slacking with them quite a bit but have shaped up over the last three weeks. Hopefully I can keep it this way.

Disappointment appears to have been avoided.Keep up the good work.

To be serious, my beliefs are agnostic as well. When it comes to religion, I'm not so bothered about which belief is right. I just want to get on with my own life. If anyone has their own beliefs, I'm not going to think worse for them.

Sometimes, I think that religious folks use their faith as a cop-out for why they did or must do something. Suicide bombers, for example. "I'll get 72 virgins!" they cry. I'll trade them to live and to have one really experienced, clean woman, who is attracted to me. Then we'll see who can walk in the morning.

And doing that in the name of their religion only gives it a bad name.

I know some Muslims and I've never let my mindset get in the way of their beliefs or vice versa.

YES! We shall propose this to Luis. It would be even better if it was Tom Fulp saying that particular line but with him possibly not being in the UK for many years now, Luis is our best option. I'd offer Tom a pint of Guinness if he ever makes it here again.

I think that my offer would be a Jagerbomb

Fairplay but a Guinness is more rewarding.

Why? Jagers are the sure fire way to get drunk, fast.

Of course, it's better in private.

I'm sure it will be. Gagsy, will you please drag this horny pervert back to your room during the next meet?

At least you sound like you're not surprised in the least.

I'm not.

I always get that feeling that I've missed a deposit somewhere. Thankfully not for my main but my alts, I may have slipped. Only one way to find out and that's the next EXP update. If at least +270 for them then at least I'm in check.

It really is hard to tell. So many things can happen in those 5 years.

Will this site even exist in 5 years from now?

That's the more important question. Activity is really taking more and more of a hit.

Maybe it will become more active again, with HTML5. There are more and more HTML5 games in the portal. That's a good sign.

What I meant was, that prices may vary from McD to McD. For example, in some restaurants a Cheeseburger costs 1 Euro, in others, it's 1,11 Euros. And at that one overpriced McD (which happens to be located in the red light district of Hamburg) it's even more expensive.

Hm. But it has been accurate for me the past few years. Whenever I had an "account birthday" the timer on NG Logs says "X years 0 months and 1 day".
