Sorry buddy, I've been kinda busy with work, personal crap and my addictive PS2. I received the e-mail ages ago spancker but I'll get a reply to you within the next couple of days. Promise.

Plus recon you live in vancouver right? Right...

You got it buddy! The west is the best!! F**k the rest!! Vancouver has made it into the top 3 for the best place to live about 10 or 12 times. We must be doing something right because the Canucks sure aren't.

Hey Uncle Recon...been a couple days. Manage to pull yourself away from FFX yet?

Not a chance moongod. I'm all caught up with the Al Bhed primers (my little trick worked) and now I'm headed for Rikku's home town. The bloody Al Bhed keep kidnapping Yuna on me and I think that's where I'll find her next. I want my summoner back!! I recently acquired the Aeon Shiva and she's now officially my favorite (step aside Ifrit).

Shiva may be cool(Heh, pun intended), but Yojimbo is the best Aeon there is! Expensive though...

The portal is pathetic today. I only have 93 b/p points so far. WTF?

Yeah, I heard you have to bribe the guy with huge amounts of coin to get him to join you. I also heard he has an affection rating that determines whether or not he'll use his best magic spell right away. This "rating" goes up if you frequently summon him (at least once every 3rd or 4th battle). I also signed a player for 30 games of Blitzball at 1,000 gil per game. He's level 8 with good stats so I think I caught a bargain there. I can't wait to get home tonight and continue the game. The graphics are awesome.

I should be kicking total ass instead of this slow b/p creeping I've got going on here. It's so slow so far this week that another week at 1000+ b/p average looks impossible.

Yeah well, it still worked out for me in the end. I've been too busy with schoolwork and studying to really do much in the past few days, so maybe it was a good thing that things were moving along slowly. I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of a surge in new Portal submissions anyways, right? Besides, at the end of it all, I still managed to score myself that screenshot. And you know what I found? Turns out that I'm keeping right on with the calculations that I made for myself in my post on page 373 of this thread. I'm still getting roughly 400 blam/protect points a week, five-sixths of which are Blams. And now, according to those calculations, I'm only twenty-nine weeks away from becoming Elite Guard Supreme Commander. If I kick it up a notch during summer, which I will, then I'll be there before summer even ends. Damn!

Oh yeah, I forgot you lived in this area. I'm telling you, dude. We need to arrange a meeting over some coffee or something one of these days. I can bring all the guys from my old "Close Encounters of the BBS Kind" threads and we can all have some sort of Newgrounds party or something. It's worked in the past. Hell, just go through some of the crazy stories that I posted up in that list of threads I just gave you a link to. We've had some good times out here. Oh, and you don't need to worry about us behaving like idiots. Me and the guys can be civilized when we want to be. So, what do you think?

Yojimbo costs like 200,000 gil to get to join & then you have to pay to have him attack. If you know how to manipulate his attacks with gil & other factors, he can take down anyone with ease.

By the way, for blitzball, make sure to sign Brother(main pilot of the airship)right away. He becomes the fastest player in the game. Faster than all the Guado's and anyone else. Plus, he has some great stats(including shot) after a little while. I'm still getting used to the Blitz system of FFX-2. It's a lot different.

Nimrook too...best goalie out there.

Haha! I just printed out a list of all the best Blitzball players and where to find them. I'm gonna create a super team! By the way I'm sitting at 17,999 blam points so I'm gonna celebrate now. Gifts will not be accepted. Send money instead.

HaHaHa,Congrats Recon,it must be nice to have alotta blam/save points..Watch out though..I'll be lurking for you,and when you stop,I'll pass you sometime.

Advance congrats to you Uncle Recon.

Wait til you start doing the sidequests to that game.
The legendary weapons and monster arena will be enough to keep you busy for a long time.

Only 93 b/p points so far? damn.. you'll pass everyone if you vote on submissions all day long 24/7.

Hey -Yoink-, I was wondering how many movies/games a flash artist can list as their favorites? Is it twenty?

I thought they raised the total favorite artists/submissions things to 50 of each. (If that's what you were talking about)

Hey Joe,I got a question...When are you(Mods) are going to get the colored text or bright texts?

I have no idea. We probably aren't though. Nothing has been said about it.

And now to bring you a memory from the childhood of the Great Sir Lord Bill of McNeal:

I remember one time... my father came home from a night on the town which of course had turned into a week... and my Mother said, "John, is there anything you wont drink?"... and my father shot back, "Poison!... I'm saving it for you!" And I and my brother who is now an alcoholic himself... just about died laughing...

Good times...

Is this a sign of another impending name change?

I already changed my name to Bill McNeal... I just threw in the whole title for the hell of it.

LoL,What brings you to change your ng name soo many times?You keep changing it soo much that one day you're prolly gonna forget which name you were.

Boredom. Strangely enough I hadn't changed my name since I signed up AT ALL until August or September of 2003. Since then I've had... 15 different names.

TJ32, MagicalMusicalJoe, PimpMasterJDOG, TheCandyTree, Conan_OBrien, Brian_Griffin, DeputyGarcia, NeMeSiSJ66, YakovSmirnoff, RightArrowColon-D, GeorgeForeman, BlueOysterCult, MayorWest, -CrashOverride-, RonPopeil, BillMcNeal.

(And on April Fools Day when I changed my name to bigbadron.)

I think that's all of them. I may have missed one here or there but I'm pretty sure I got them all.

Yo Joe, with regards to your original alias "TheJoe324", what exactly does the 324 stand for? Is it your birth date or something like that?

At 4/29/04 01:24 AM, Recon_Rebel wrote: Is it your birth date or something like that?

That would be correct. I actually wanted to just make it "TheJoe" but someone already has the name... Someone without a profile... Or posts.. Or flash.. And probably doesn't even come to the site anymore. (The bastard.)

What if you wanted to go back to your old screenname(s)..Won't you be mad if someone took them to be a smartass or something?Cause I know I would.,

If I wanted to go back to one of my previous ones that I listed in that post? It wouldn't bother me, I'd just change the way it is if I wanted to use it so bad. "The_Candy_Tree" "Conan-OBrien" I probably wouldn't want to go back to any of them. Only one I did go back to after using it once was BlueOysterCult.

149 entries submitted yesterday. Pathetic...

No... what's pathetic is the result of so few submissions. I haven't even broke 50 blam/protect points yet. If I finish my shift tonight (about 90 minutes to go) and I don't get at least 50 points it'll be the first time that's happened in over a year. Man, this is like a severe drought in Africa.
