It's now out in 3 posts in the NG mafia. Any one may read it...It took me whole day to write. And I want to get the Trilogy done this week. Nothing like a good story to read...

Any way, how is every one doing? Haven't B/Ped shit today, wrote way too much.

Well I did pretty good I guess, I just broke into the four digit numbers for my blam points.

He liked to spam a lot when he was here. From my knowledge, he also wants people believe that he is a hottie, just look at his profile and posts. :P When I pass him, it is going to be a great achievement. He is currently ranked No.6 of my most wanted list for passing by.

Wow, I've been busy lately, so I haven't had much time for the EGB. Sorreh :(

Anyway, my B/P'ing has been going tremendously well :) I'm 400-ish away from my next badge, and since my last post here I have taken over quite a few people.

Even some EGB members:

-Dawin45

-RSQViper

I'm proud of how much I've done since slacking off from the portal. I'm still making up lost time :0.

Wii shiz.

Goddamn it, I still don't have a wii! Since the pre-orders are gone as well, I'm not even going to get one for Christmas :'(. How am I meant to guard myself, from the perilous members of the EGB?

My gamecube controller has a limited range, but the wavebird is pretty effective >:D

Hahaha, I have 8 Wave Birds. My friend modded one to work with the Nintendo 64, which gives it the power of two Wiimotes.

I may not be active for the next few days, because of finals, and my sister's boyfriend came home today, so him and I may hang a bit. Not to mention I have my own girlfriend to please. I'll still to try and post, but I may not be B/P active.

Phantom, I just read what you posted in the Mafia, over all I liked it. I thought it was a bit shaky at the beginning but the more and more I read, the more and more I was enjoying it. Can't wait to read what's next!

Welcome back! You certainly aren't the only person who has been busy recently so I wouldn't worry much about not being active. The Barracks have been busy this week with new officer appointments so it might be worth your while checking out the last few pages if you have time. At least you seem to have done well with your exams- real life is more important than here after all (yeah, really!)

Right, thats enough quoted posts for one day- it's off to the gym for me for a couple of hours. If I'm going to eat as much as I want to this Christmas then I need to be in good shape before I go home :)

Yes, please tell us what the hell you got her.

As much as I would love to it a) wouldn't mean anything to you as it is very personal between the two of us, and b) I have a suspicion she reads my posts so I can't reveal it here anyway :). I have no doubt she will love it though.

Hah, the Wii during the summer time. I just can't wait until Brawl comes out so I can own everyone online. I will never leave the house again for at least a month.

It is going to be awesome :).

I'm getting some major Zelda cravings though :(

It's a fun game. Your missing out.

lol, rubbing in face!

Son of a... don't make me come and steal yours!

Gah, I've hardly got anything this morning as I had to go and do my weekly food shop. I'm just about clinging on to 100 points per day this week, but I need another 40 or so before the update if I am going to make it. I've noticed your awesome week- can you stop it please!

Come on, I asked nicely, call it an x-mas present? :)

Yeah, I did hear that. I think it is just the remotes though as they are changing the straps. Quite honestly I think you have to be a total moron to throw a remote across the room anyway, so hardly a big deal.

Well, if you can't get your hands on a Wii controller, why don't you go ahead and grab a blam rifle from the armory...sure, it's not nearly as powerful, but it works.

Another one with a life. Why feel bad if you're actually doing things? I don't want people to feel like they're REQUIRED to be here. Enjoy your life, and come here when you're not busy or just B/Ping.

Hi! Checking in to let you all know I am still here. I've been having some computer problems lately..something about a processor fan going bad...the part is on order, but since the computer is running without the whirrwhirrgrindscreech of the past few days, I've been able to get back online for a little bit here. In the past couple of days, I have barely managed to deposit points, which equals lost b/p points, but what can you do?

Congrats to all those who have received new Barracks appointments over the past week. Well done! As for me, I am slowly (!!) but surely closing in on EG Captain. Woo-Hoo!

Just firmly checking any posts I missed.

Heh, thanks I guess. Nomader was really good so I'll take that as a complement. This Trilogy is an original and great new idea indeed, but I warn you, unlike Noamder I'll need a while before finding an idea as good as that.

Also, as I said before, I posted an original story in the mafia, every one is here by ordered to read it. I didn't want to pull rank here but...I feel like it.

EagleRock, today is gost party day which means that we wioll seee tons of spammy entries from the SS. Considering that the portal is in an average speed right now, I would suggest DEFCON 3 at the moment.

Before my mistake goes noticed, I would like to mention the first quote of my last post was from another thread. Get used to these errors of idiocy and sleep deprivation I will go through all of this week.

Hrm...I dunno if I'd recommend using your computer if that's the case...just because the whirring is gone doesn't mean that the fan is working...the fan could have stopped completely. I'd check to see if it's working...you don't want to fry the processor...

Duly noted:

DEFCON Update:

I thought the DEFCON was at DEFCON 3, but in case it wasn't, it is now. Watch for many spamlike or malicious flash. Barracks members should be on patrol in the Portal when they can to ensure flashes are voted upon fairly and are not influenced by mass-voing. I will continue to observe the Portal and will raise the DEFCON again if needed.

Hah...I do pretty good. My last record was a 280...I got a strike, then a spare, then 10 strikes in a row. I recommend try deliberately curving the ball into the 1 pin. It's really the best way to get a strike. However, pulling off spares requires a straight or near-straight shot. I recommend holding the controller differently for a straight shot. The slightest bit of tilt will curve the ball, especially if you bowl slower. Try this:

When you need to bowl straight, do not put your thumb across the top of the Wiimote, but rather, hold it to your side. Line up your shot for the spare with the D-Pad. When you bowl it, hold your hand straight out, elbow locked, pointed level and straight to the TV. Hold B, bring your hand back, bring forward and release B. When you do that, concentrate on keeping your hand straight, and do NOT bend your arm or tilt it. Also, bowl faster and release B late. That way, the ball jumps. I find that when I do this, I might not get an exact straight shot, but the shot is relatively straight. Also, the faster you bowl and the later you release, the less the ball will curve. Give it a shot and let me know how you do.
