No, only 99% of all time, effort and money. God, that sounds like a price tag. Get a girlfriend, lose an arm, a leg. 3 ribs and a testacle...Buy it now.

Haha!!! So you folks will be single for the rest of your lives and die alone? Oooooh, I am so sad. :( But if your profiles do not lie, most of you are still under 20. Besides joking around, I personally think that it is too early for young kids to have GFs before they can establish a career. So at least I will not be earger at this issue. :P

A man is ready to have kids physically at 13 or so, but emotionally, possibly never. from the age of 13 to 20~ begins the process of courting a woman, after endless attempts and just as much times banging your head against the wall, you find some one. Too bad it takes us too long to figure it all out, but I'll say this, when Peter is getting married, I will pay out of my own pocket for that bachelor partty.

Well, I'd say what you need to do is get yourself a cosy little office job and use NG on your lunch hour (and the occasional few minutes here and there during work hours)

Oooooh, I am so sad. :(

Yes, sympathy has always been one of your strong suits, hasn't it? :P

Well, I think that you can mix a career and a girlfriend (even though I'm still single atm) If you need help in this specialist area, let me and the rest of the Relationship Crew lend a sympathetic ear.

Yeah, now have fun giving me PMs. I sent a PM to user named "Bahamut" for his alias. ;) Too bad he'll never see that message.

Yeah, we need the email alert for PMs now 'Click this link to deactivate' sort, so everyone gets one to start with.

Finally we have PM! And it's even better than I thought it'd be.

WELCOME BACK SLASH!!! I know it may be a little late, and you still may be sick, but I just checked my inbox for PM, and noticed you replied! Also, the post on the EGB was more proof. A lot of stuff is happening today. I will get my new rank, Slash is back, and in the real world, it's my 8th grade graduation today (which means summer!!) WOOHOO! Today can't get any better.

or can it?......

Erm...did we forget that I'm engaged?

Well, first off, having a 20-year-old calling 17 and 18 year-olds "young kids" is a bit insulting. You're still half-baked, yourself, and don't have a right to condescend to those only two years younger than you. Even I don't have a right at 23, which is why I respect them as peers.

Also, by your parameters for dating, I shouldn't have started looking for a girlfriend until a month or two from now once I have a full-time job. I'm going to be 24 in a month...don't you think that's just a bit too late to start? I mean, most people my age have gotten laid already...isn't 24 a bit late to start? I'm not saying that you should get MARRIED at 24, but you at least have had at least one girlfriend by then! Hell, if you haven't had a girlfriend by 21, I'm worried (unless you're gay, which is a whole other story...coming out is hard enough as it is, so I won't pass judgement on gays trying to find boyfriends by 21).

I won't bother to get into the whole "getting laid" thing, as people have their beliefs, which I respect. However, there's no reason on the planet why you shouldn't be thinking of going out with girls and stuff by the age of 15. It's NORMAL.

And I hate to bring this up, but rehashing the idea of girlfriends is probably not an intelligent idea.

Har, har. ;-)

You do make a good point, though. While you shouldn't be pumping out babies by the age of 13, there's no reason you shouldn't at least be THINKING of girlfriends...I mean, I was trying by the age of 15, but I was a complete geek with no personality, so I didn't even get girls to notice me until college...but that doesn't mean it's wrong to start looking! Let's remember that girlfriend does not necessarily translate to "future wife" to most people.

New rank! Hooray!

Congrats on your new rank you now have over 5k B/P points to bad you still need less then 25k B/P points to become a Supreme Commander but you'll get it. All that's stopping you is time.

yea, definitely a big congrats on the next rank up metaldart. 5 thousand down, 25 thousand to go till egsc. youll get there in time. i believe master sergeant is the next step up correct? hopefully you get there quickly and join us in the gold badges soon.

Congrats, now, double speed. Keep the good work SFC. I have nothing else to say and I'm proud of it.

It is, it is. I am just surprised I have gotten this far in less than a year! Even if they are stats that just exist on the internet, it's still fun. Even the Newgrounds level and B/P seem like a game themselves. But once I hit EGSC, I will probably slow down in the B/P department. I want to get the gold badges soon and get to a higher experience level. So far, I'm aiming for level 17! :)

At 6/8/06 01:31 PM, -MetalDart- wrote: New rank! Hooray!

Congratulations! That is quite the rank to be hitting. A nice new shiney badge to go with too, can't go wrong with that. Keep it going, you'll hit EGSC soon enough. Btw, how is the hostage crisis going? Anyone make your thread yet?

Exams are over!! Finally I have a bit of freedom and that massive weight that has been holding me down for weeks has been thrown off for good! Hurrah!

Anyway, what have I missed....

First up, it's a great shame to see Littlewashu leaving. I know this is a bit late, but you will be sorely missed and I hope to see you return someday once time permits.

On a brighter note it's great to see that Slash is on the raod to recovery and hoprefully will be back in action soon.

And also congrats to Metaldart on the promotion, and to anyone I may have missed in recent weeks.

As to the grlfriend thing, I'd have to agree with Eagle. It does no harm giving it a shot whenever you are ready to whether that is 13 or 18. However there is no doubt that the level of maturity is wildly different between those ages, and certainly a relationship at 13 should not be viewed in the same light as one at 18 or indeed older. As I see it when your younger it's a bit of a laugh, and shouldn't (!!) atleast be too physical, but as you mature your tastes and views differ. As long as it is all in a bit of fun, and at a young age you don't start getting too serious then there is no harm in it. Leave the serious stuff until you're with someone you really love and care about, you'll know when that happens.

There's certainly no reason you can't hold down a full time job and a relationship though, if you feel enough for each other. I've been with my girlfriend now for 9 months, and during that time we've been little short of inseperable. We both have our own lives away from each other, and I certainly feel no burden in looking after and caring about her. In two months I'm leaving for the USA, and won't be seeing her for a year. If it was anyone else I think that would be the end but as things stand I feel we can pull through, and I for one am going to give it everything I've got. In short, you don't need to make relationsips a struggle and a burden as long as you understand each other. If that's the case you should be quite happy with no real effort put in at all!

OK, I seem to waffled on a bit there, and totally lost the point somewhere in the middle. Never mind, apologies to anyone that actually read all that!

Anyway, back to partying and celebrating the end of exams! Maybe the alcohol is getting to my head....

*salutes*

Some people have been telling me to join this club, but I don't really know what this club is. Can somebody explain it to me?

Good to see you have taken an intrest here. You can check the Barracks FAQ's for anything you may need to know. If there are still further questions please make sure to ask.

Moments like thse make me proud for busting my ass on making that FAQ... Now, if Peter would eventually listen to me and allow HTML I would like to add an AIM clickable SN for the contacts there...Which reminds me, FAQ update time..

After reading the FAQ, I'm satisfied. Some real effort has been put into this club. Thus, I would like to join. :D

Thank you and welcome to the club, I will be your biggest pain in the butt, as well an officer. Choose a bunk, a gun and get to work.

Okay, the podcast is FINALLY up:

http://egb.eagleworld.net

I did not get the podcast onto the iTunes Music Store yet, but the RSS feed from the website itself works well. Please note that the RSS feed is in Apple's proprietary format, so you need iTunes for the feed. However, you can download the mp3 directly from the link on the first podcast's page.

Why do they let you get so close and then snatch it away from you like an eagle with a mouse in it's claws?! I am two points away from my level ten. Two points. You would think at that point they would just sat "hey, you worked hard enough, here...", but no, they make you wait hours on end for that final deposit. Blarg!

2 things I must say, I know exactly how Turk feels as I had a 3 point gap I belive between 11 and 12... And as for the Podcast..Yay.

Sorry to double post but I just realized how bad connection over seas is... Nor do I like my voice, but not much I can do about that.

dont worry about it sir. im sure its not that big of a deal, and nobody here would choose to make fun of you anyway (not doing so, trust me). im actually downloading it as im typing this, so im very anxious to hear the first edition. great work, ahead of time, to everyone who helped in the creation. im sure it will be a rousing success.

Sine connection here is very bad I might be getting my own segment soon, " Solving B/P Dilemmas with Phantom". Any user who has any question or problem in NG can ask me and get a firm, mocking answer... It will be published during the second Podcast, till then, I'm still here to mock my close ones.

haha sounds like quite the segment. im sure it would be a great addition, not to mention a fairly amusing one. i listened to the first ten minutes of the podcast just now and i have to say its some really good work. you all did an excellent job. pretty funny in my opinion.

I'll try and be in the next podcast. Just depends on what time it is and whether or not I have to work that day...stinkin job.

I have graduated and I am now a freshman! WOOT! I now have the whole summer to rest. And just to say some quick things:

1) Nice to have you on the Barracks JimmyDodger! It's been fun in the rating club and hope you will add just as much input as you do there

2) Congrats on finishing exams donthurtme! Now, everyone can enjoy the summer!

3) Sadly Turkeybean, the signature has failed to make a single thread. :( I'm going to keep wearing it until it works!

4) Yay for podcasts!

5) It suck to have your level taken away huh TurkeyBean? But when you get that rank, your voting power and pride will be boosted!

Thanks for reading!
