Make an effort to help anybody you can

Make sure that the help you give is accurate. If you don't know, or don't have a reasonably good idea and reasoning to back it up, don't help.

We're still cleaning up the messes about "there's only one level 30/deity" and "there's only two golds."

~shrug~ I think I was vaguely aware of Wi/Ht? as a club before being told I was in ... it's kind of like modding here, campaigning for your inclusion turns people off. The point is to get noticed, and noticed positively (*cough*j00bie*cough*). I "only" took about 9 months after sign-up to get nominated, but a large chunk of that time was my running the EGRL thread. Running a list tends to get you noticed ^^

I still can't believe how much expierience you guys have, i've been workin my ass off to get where I am now! Took me forever it seemed to get to saftey patrol, but im still goin.

At 10/day, experience takes forever to compile. It's much easier to focus on the BP rank-ups and let levelling occur whenever it does. Click the image in my sig to get to the EGRL homesite. You should get a fairly decent idea of the pace at which you want to earn BPs.

Just an FYI, the values listed in the FAQ are off, but it will be a while until you get to those errors.

Sorry about the double post, but i was just browsing your site and noticed that you included the Riots in Northern Ireland, are you interested in this, or was it just a passing thing you thought others might want to know about ?

Just thought i'd pop in and give my daily congrats. Way too go Recon, on that nice little milestone and that promotion thing I saw(Once again, I made a quick skim. lol). Also j00bie, congratulations to your sister, man!

Really, wow interesting. Have you ever been to an orange rally ? ataheyre superb, but im biased, im 100% thorough bred protestant, brought up in the heart of Glasgow were bigotry is rife. Im very interested in your views since your 50/50 on the matter. Do you prefer protestant, catholic marches et cetera...I will now go read your topic incase youve already answered these. Sorry, but ive been on the booze.

Both sides suck. Religion is merely the excuse for the carnage. The British introduced kneecapping. The IRA perfected it. The UDF makes "first strikes" based on hearsay from unreliable sources, also introduced by the British. Collateral damage is the euphemism for "oops I blew up/shot one of our own," and it's somehow their fault for having been in the way. I'd prefer they all go to hell ... sooner rather than later.

I read that whole topic and it turned out i posted in it a few times aswell. I didnt know who you were at the time, so i was kinda ignorant. I even partook in a flame war in it, sorry to say, simply because im a bigoted prick.

No worries. You are, after all, a Slightly Crazy Dude ^^

I always have wondered... why exactly are they called the orange and the green ? What does it have to do with religion ?

And why can't they just live peacefully and accept each other's religion ? I mean, lots of countries have more than one religion, and they're not fighting over it !

The original Orangemen follow William of Orange into the Battle of the Boyne. By that time, St. Ptarick's teachings of the Holy Trinity, using the shamrock to show the parts of the whole, had degenerated into "Green." It was only natural for them to call themselves "Orange" in contrast.

And why can't they just live peacefully and accept each other's religion ? I mean, lots of countries have more than one religion, and they're not fighting over it !

Religion is merely the excuse used for people to act like... well people. They can take off the façade of "civilization" but need some kind of justification to give to people they are trying to recruit/convert to their cause ... and to themselves until they become jaded enough to not care.

Which is just one of the (rather small) reasons why I believe we should ban religion. Of course, an easier method would be to just give Northern Ireland back to the Republic and be done with it... wait, this isn't Politics. </bans>

I just reached 1,000 blams! WOOOOOOOOOT!!! And now, on to more pressing matters....

I never knew you were Irish D0GMA. What a pleasant surprise. I live in Northern Ireland, and I'm a Catholic. The Troubles that tore the Six Counties apart for over 30 years are, for the most part over.

The IRA will most likely disband in the next 10 years or less. They have reached a point where they know violence really is not the answer. There are still hardcore Republicans, the 'Real IRA' but they are disorganised and unco-ordinated, not to mention repulsed by almost everybody in Ireland in the wake of the Omagh bomb in 1998. Popularity with the Nationalist population is what kept the IRA going throughout the last 30 years, and the Reak IRA lack that.

The primary objective of the IRA: A united Ireland of 32 counties under one government, is becoming a reality. Sinn Fein will most likely be in power in the South in 10 years, as Fine Gael and Fianna Fail lose votes every year, while Sinn Fein are gaining popularity with the South's young voters. From there, they'll be dealing with the British government directly, and a United Ireland will eventually be achieved.

I could go on and on, but if you'd like to discuss Northern Ireland again, I'd be glad to.

By the way SCD, in regards to marches, FUCK all marches. It all started with the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The battle was won by William of Orange, (who D0GMA mentioned earlier). It was a victory for Protestants over Catholics.

Modern day Orangemen want to honour that battle by marching along the route the real warriors took. This route passes straight through Nationalist areas. The Orange Order has been, for hundreds of years, a tool of provokation and intimidation . It has been justly labelled the Klu Klux Klan of Northern Ireland. Both groups are rife with hatred and bigotry.

Anyway, that's my view on that. (I am not a die-hard Republican, but it angers me that Protestants insist on marching through Nationalist areas, knowing that they are provoking and agitating the local residents of the areas they march through.)

Any thoughts or comments anyone?

Personally, I have exactly zero issue with marches. What is an Orange march after all? It's just a parade of people celebrating their Protestant heritage. What happens on St. P's? There's a parade, which is just a bunch of marching people wearing green celebrating their Irish (sometimes imaginary) heritage.

My stance on the Orange Lodges' choice of routes is a bit more complex.
The understandable desire to follow a historic path needs to be counterbalanced against the history of taking that path. The old marches used to end in Catholic districts so that Orangemen could hand out some beatings and rapes. That they now merely go through is an improvement, but people do so enjoy holding grudges ...

The portal has been pretty active tonight (I like Fridays). Halfway through my shift and sitting at a comfortable 50 points. Hope to make at least 70 tonight.

One thing I never understood is why some people put their ban count in their sigs. Why would someone want to let everyone know how many times they've been a moron?

My guess would be to protray some sort of criminal record. Guess they consider it "macho".
