I agree at 100%. Seriously, it's getting pretty ugly ... will anybody die if he doesn't get 10 congrats for any of his achievement? The better way to stop it would be to avoid to post useless achievements ... and more important, stopping congrating those. I mean ... do you have to post it each time you get 1000 points or 1000 posts? May be it does, if it takes you two months to reach them as I do :P but for those who it only takes a week ... I don't see the point ...

Now congrats Rage on your rank-up, THAT's an achievement to be proud of ;)

It's been pointless since people stared saying congrats to more then 2 people.

Hold on, I didn't copy that. I made it myself. I searched through the topic and typed every character of that list. It just happens to be very similar to Bahamut's list. Myst posting two lists (both copied) was spammy and annoying. Me making my own list was not. I, like Denvish, like congratulating everyone as long as their achievement is decent.

I would never congratulate someone getting LV 2-9 or getting 1,200 posts or something crappy like that.

See what I mean? In the span of 13 posts, these people copied the list over and over again. It's pointless, and needs to stop.

I agree with you completely, Mike, but copying congrats lists is lame, and something I would never do.

Congrats to:

True, congrats lists are quite impersonal, but they do save space, and don't make posts look longer than they really are, and they also save time for me. Meh, I'll keep making congrats lists, but I'll just try and add a comment at the end of each achievement, to make them a little more personal and stuff. That okay with you?

It could be worse....You could have lost your entire hard disc or gotten cancer or something.
Seriously though, something similar happened to me a while ago. Not much to do about it, but it wasn't that big of a deal to me.

Woot,

Blam Point: 408
Protection Points: 180

Also, I have 1.881 posts per day... Not that special, but whatever.

I hit 5,000 p/p today....ugh, I need a break.

Well In some ways I agree with what Redcircle said.
I have not minded the longs lists.
More the people the feel the need to congratz everyone singly.
Meaning every time posts somethign they psot a congratz rather than waiting for several people to post things.

Damn right buddy, i keep saying im never gonna do that again, yet, the lure of alcohol is to strong, its like it was MEANT to be in me :)

It's great reaching a heightened state of intoxication 'eh SCD? The after effects I can do without. I heard there's a drug that recently came out (I think in England) that lets you get hammered without waking up to a hangover. Heard anything about it?

I like to think of it as drinking myself off the planet.

Hehehe, yeah well, thats not bad that one, because when your unconcious technically you dont care were you are ;P

Ever been on autopilot? You know, where you're walking around talking to people yet when you hear about it the next day you don't remember a thing. That's scary.

That's a major amount bud, how much do you weigh?

Hmmm, weigh..... I couldnt really tell you, i think roughly twelve stone, dunno what that is in whatever metric term you use mate, im not that way inclined :)

No problems SCD. The handy dandy metric conversion tables say 12 stone is the equivalent of 168 pounds or 76.2 kilograms. You weigh more than me bud! I'm around 5' 7" and 155 lbs (that's about 11.07 stone).

The wine over here is different from normal wine, its technically not a table wine, its a Tonic wine "but does not mean health giving or medicinal properties" <-- warning on the label. 13% a bottle, but its all good.

I love the warnings they put on the 80% alcohol. "Keep away from open flame."

but experience goes up by 10 points a day... period.

Yeah, i think if i did deposit my exp through the dark ages, maybe if i asked you or D0GMA, i would be pushing level 16 just now.

So ask already!! If you plan on taking off on another... umm... adventure SCD, then send me (or another forum regular) an e-mail in advance containing your password so you don't start to slip.

6 months missed, possibly 8 months, thats alot of exp down the swanny.

The Suwannee river? Why do I feel like forming the Wi/Ht? Quartet?

After 40 years, I finally found the woman that said those six words I've been waiting to hear all my life. "My father owns a liquor store."

Whoo! With my recent rank-up put aside, I have now reached another milestone in the long b/p road.

10,000 blams! And for some reason, it feels a hell of a lot more fulfilling than ranking up. A five digit number sure beats any badge!

A five digit number will place you on the pentalist. Congradulations on hitting 10,000 blams RageVI. In two weeks you can then see your name on the pentalist which should be nice.

Why do authors constantly badmouth their own work? Isn't there enough abusive reviews out there?

Author's comments: Be prepared to watch my reputation drop like a rock. * don't just vote low because they're sticks * Sorry for the size/shitty quality.

Well I'm sold. Let me dust off the "5" button.

We now return to our regularly scheduled program alerady in progress.

w00t, level 17!, although it might only last for a few hours because HT might bump me back to lv 16.

And it only took me 2 years and 3 months to achieve it!

Re: RedCircle angry at the stolen/same congratulations lists.
When I first started doing this, I noticed there was something missing, as it was the typical list that everyone else was using. I thought to myself...how can I make these lists better? Add comments for a short and quick laugh!

Basically, my congratulations lists are like that to congratulate the people as well as give them a boost in ego. I think that's plausible. It also gets me to read everything, but that's not the point. I do see your point about lists being stolen, which is just plain lazy and carmel being congratulated for her 1,000 reviews about 50 times.

Well, if anyone doesn't like my congratulation lists, please let me know as it is just as easy to keep them to a minimum.

Re: Me
Now that school has officially started (I had a week to recover), I will be seen less in the LUL, meaning fewer congrats and less of me. Don't worry, the stories will still come as you want them to. This was one of the reasons I did not want to become a regular, as I feel that my dedication to Wi/Ht? cannot be fufilled daily anymore. We'll get over it.

No, it's not ok. Yes it is, but just remember the person who started the big craze. ;)

How is everyone? I'm very busy organising many things. I'm sure I just saw the alt account of EKRegulus. How does he seem to grow 5 years older and move to another location stumbles me. ;)

When did Ramagi become TheIronFist?? and Why also??

Not too long ago. The timestamps in this thread should give you a general idea, as well as answering your second question.

I do like that name though. It fits the supreme Blammer well :o)

Pity it's such a rip-off of Ozcar's 'IronFistMod'.
