State of happy happy joy joy</stimpy> right now. Just shoed Sheffield's online course enquiry tool and got my timetable for next year - Tuesday to Thursday is a complete lecture-free zone! What a bloody great concept that is!

Of course, there's those seminar things to worry about, but I needn't concern myself with those. They're so easy to bluff through it's untrue.

Reminds me, never wear distinctive clothing in lectures, ever. Especially when lecturers are the sort of "ask the audience questions" type. Wearing Stockport's (rather noticable yellow) 2000/1 away shirt makes you stand out for a quick question. A reply of "break someone's leg" fouled that one off comfortably. In Jeopardy style, ten cool points to anyone who can give the question asked :-)

In a bit of a hurry, so i'll make this quick. Congrats leeboy, IKRU and everyone else. Nothing to report from this end.

Recon, don't worry, i've seen some of the early posts by mods and now-great posters, but I always remember that those were the days of the lawless BBS. My somewhat-spammy reputation doesn't bother me much anymore anyway. :)

There, that was fast. Bye! Gotta go watch me a movie.

Q: What do you do if Someone says "Please break my leg?"
A: Break Someone's leg.

10 more b/s points and goodbye police officer and hello Police Sergeant, YAY!

What do you mean? Tell me please do you get something for that or is it the fact that I'm going to need 500 points to rank up?

Just got back from being out of town and it looks like Leeboy is the star of the day due to attaining his 4th general star and breaking the 10vp barrier. Excellent job there.
Baron: Start b/ping like it's your job, been waiting on your arrival for some time now due to our friendly races 'back in the day.'
IKRU: Sexy job hitting Major General and getting over halfway done with 8vp.

I don't believe I've announced this yet, but I have gotten myself out of the #20's and am sitting in at #19 b/p wise. This is the start of the long haul imo. #18 biteme has over 1,200 more than me.

Hey BonusStage(OmgIChangeMyName) do you think you could get me 7 b/s points tonight, just 7 please? I'll make it up to you when you need some points. I have to go, but I want to rank up, please?

I am finally ranked under 2000 for experience. It's not much, not much at all but it's getting somewhere. Oh well, just thought I would say, at least I found it mildly amusing.

Yeah, those were some fun times Pure and I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of it. There were a lot of cool personalities cruising the BBS back then. I didn't even make my first post until I reached level 10.

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

Being an avid procrastinator, I can concur that this proves to be true all too often!

I'll have to print your posting for my desk :)

Ahhh. I played it on the PC, not the NES. Almost all LucasArts adventure games were only FOR the PC/Mac, I believe. Now, the Star Wars games always come out on consoles as well, but Sam 'n' Max, Full Throttle, The Dig, Grim Fandango, Maniac Mansion II: Day of the Tentacle, the Indiana Jones adventure games, etc. etc... all were only for computers, I believe.

Thank you and gfox both for posting that for me j00bie and carmel ^_^, and i did take that list and put it on a Word Document, miraculously it didn't completely mess up as well *pfeh.*

Sure thing. The offer I made to James is open to you as well, if you want the full text file with ALL the data I have (not just what I've posted), let me know where to e-mail it and I will.

At 8/6/04 02:05 PM, D0GMA wrote: Santo's idea (the By % C and D lists) took almost a year to actually happen on a recurring basis, but the idea was out there. It took my taking over the lists again, seeing that LockClock had webbed one of the updates, deciding the forums were essentially useless for posting the EGRL anymore, creating a website for the EGRL, gfox retiring from the Top 50s, and my picking them up for that idea to be implemented. It took a long time and a lot of goofy shit happening, but, like I've said before, it never would have dawned on me to make a list like that had he not mentioned it.

hah! That's a wonderful summary of the progress of the % lists finally coming to regularly-updated fruition.

But don't forget an important step: gfox creating the saves list and putting s2b% on it in the first place. #;-}>

A long time ago, gfox complained about how I merge the Main Page Comments with the EGRL when I archive them. Again, an idea clattering around my head like a BB in a boxcar that is finally getting used. As part of the "fix" to make sure using your idea doesn't create broken links, I've done some shifting of where files are located. It's not exactly a transparent change to someone visiting the site, as it adds a little lag on the load time for a page, but it just seemed natural (and symetrical ^^) to keep them separate in the new archival format.

So I noticed when my links to the main and current htmls opened up the 7/24 updates yesterday instead of the 8/7 updates. #;-}> The only downside, I believe.

gfox expanded on my Gain idea for the Top 50s and has been a good sounding board as we toss ideas back and forth. At this point, it's just going to be a matter of how well the splits on which I've settled actually play out. With as few people getting gold on the EGRL as there have been, there won't be many on the Top 50s either. The real question is how often the lower splits of 35 blams/day and 15 saves/day work out.

Methinks the avg/gain/colours on the top 50s look great as they are now. No real need for further sounding off, probably. It's all good!

Congrats everyone who ranked up and leveled up, especially to IKRU and Leeboy well done troops.

Ive had a rough weekend, almost forgot to deposit yesterday, fucking alcohol is truelly a demon.

Also, I finally got to see that BiteMe user post. It was interesting since Dobio constantly compares me to him and this was the first time i've seen him post at all.

Frankly...I don't see the reselmblence.

Um... perhaps you need to go deep into his post history.

You see, he hit 10,000 posts in September of 2003.... and since then, he's only posted about 800 times or so. 800 posts in almost a year... you do the math.

But from April 2003 to September 2003 he posted at least 9000 of his first 10,000 posts in that period. 9000+ posts in HALF a year. Again, do the math.

He went from being like a 60+ ppd guy to a 2 ppd guy. When Dobio calls you a biteme, he's referring to the OLD biteme from prior to September 2003, as that's the one he grew to love/hate.

I meant how was I supposed to know that you'd added all that other stuff to the list. I remember you offering to send it out to people, but I (stupidly, as it turns out) assumed that you would be sending out the exact same thing you posted, which I had already saved to my harddrive. Should have realised how silly that was!

Indeed. Because I'd love to be able to post my entire txt file here, but there's just one major problem:

it would look like shit, due to how NG BBS formats stuff. Plus, lines would be wrapping all over the place.

Fair enough. Jumping from topic to topic isn't the most convenient way to converse with someone.

Not just that, I had one more post to go till 6500 and didn't want to bother with the alt account (turned out I needed to anyway, but oh well, I didn't know that at the time).

New link in my profile? You mean a new page in my sig list links?

Yeah... that. >_< Whenever a link changes from a dimmed orangey colour to a bright yellow one, I know there's an update I have to check out.

Ah yes, good point. For me, they're ALWAYS dimmed orangey, so... I didn't think of that. I thought you meant you mouseovered the link to see what page it was to. O_o

hey now. No frownie faces for no good reasons! There was nothing wrong with bringing up the idea that you brought up. O_o

I just don't like being wrong.

Cause it happens so rarely, right? heh. You da man, James.

Congrats, man! I knew it was coming because of your comments to the VP list, but that doesn't change the wonderfulness of your new VP and rank. 10.36... what a lovely number.

You're only 0.65 behind me now, too. Way to go! #;-}>

Thanks, i was a bit short on Gfox's VP list yesterday, otherwise i would've jumped about 10 ranks higher. You saved me from double disappointment.

Hey nowwwww... you didn't act that disappointed in the VP thread. ;_;

Like I already said, sorry for the bad timing, but... look at it this way: you'll be kicking ass and taking names on the next update, that's for sure.

Plus, you can go check out the new PentaList, which you're doing quite nicely on... one great thing about it is that since it's purely based on the actual 5 statcounts, there IS no sudden jumping that comes with rankups and levelups and things like that. You've either got points or you don't, and if you were near a point amount you thought was nifty, at least you're NEAR it, it's not all or nothing like with a rankup/VP jump. ;_;

And today's star is ramagi for taking down fixit from the #1 spot on the 10,000+ statlist, formerly QuadList now PentaList. Woot for ramagi!

In your dreams, buddy. Or did you mean in b/p? Because then that's a rankup, now isn't it? heh. #;-}>

Anyway, as I just mentioned..... ramagi passed fixit on the new PentaList. My sig doesn't look quite so good with Penta sitting there instead of Quad, IMO, but I'll be changing it all up soon and taking out the top 50 blam and top 50 save links since those are no longer my lists, so... we'll see how it looks once I hit 41,000 and update it completely.

Anyway, you can check out ramagi, fixit, and me right behind 'em in 3rd, or any of the other 102 people on the PentaList by clicking the Penta link... it's near the bottom of page 23. Enjoy it! I spent 2 hours preparing for it by redoing the list structure on Saturday and another 3 hours or so actually updating the list early this morning, so... make sure it was worth it by NOTICING, please. I know most people don't expect updates of it very often, but there's an UPDATE IN THERE RIGHT NOW, so go and enjoy and be informed or entertained or disgusted or frustrated or overjoyed or whatever it causes to happen within you, eh?!

And with that, I go to collapse in bed and give my girlfriend her long-awaited turn at the computer. #;-}> Goodnight, all!

yeah, I'm now a Elite Guard Praporshchik, my first golden badge ^_^
