last april MtG "quit" and his wife took over for a while. she closed a thread because it made fun of cats. and declared that anyone who spole ill of cats would get banned. hence AH had a line in his sig for a while that said he hated cats.

Or close to that anyways

Did you tell her about your list-making prowess?

...Do you want her to think that I am excessively strange in addition to not interesting enough to date

Although the Raegee Rap that she convinced me to do was fairly strange... but at least she enjoyed that

Hmm... about MtG... Perhaps I'll just keep him at his old Post Count and position (unless he receives a PCR), as he belongs there and just seems to have this thing about 0 post count (he did the same thing at FreeFireZone)

TCO · January 9, 2003, 23:37

I agree. Let's force him to have a postcount.

Impressive stuff, DarkCloud!

if you check the date when he posted the thread, it was back in april. we bumped it so he would start on a new version

DarkCloud · January 10, 2003, 22:43

...That would also explain why I was off by a year on your birthdate

I'll do my best to update it soon- but It will be after the next Hall of Fame for certain... and I want the 3rd version to be good so I'm plannign to spend a long time on it... I have already eliminated many spelling mistakes and strange twists of phrasing!

"And then I saw Trip's PC - 3700 odd That's gotta be the fastest rise in 'Poly history."

MWIA

Here are some more fun facts about Trip.
Assuming Trip maintains his current post count rate of 13.8

posts per day, and everyone else sustains their own, it will take Trip:

129 days to reach top 20 apolyton list, passing Stefu.

448 days to reach diety.

4858 days or 13 years to pass Ming!

If Trip increases his post count to 28.36 posts per day, he will become the next deity, ahead of Urban Ranger.

Ming is uncatchable for a long time.....unless MarkG slyly gives himself a few thousand posts when Ming isn't looking.

is that with ming never posting again?

DrSpike · January 11, 2003, 12:58

No he said at current trend rates.

DarkCloud · January 12, 2003, 18:16

BTW- anyone know what happened to Roland's postcount? He seems to have just dropped off the list?

DrSpike · January 12, 2003, 19:04

He changed his name and chose to start from 0. The Roland login was disabled.

DarkCloud · January 12, 2003, 23:40

What's his new name?

(I think I'll keep him at his previous spot; or put him in a Legendary Spot like I planned for Lazarus when he wasn't on the list) [since he truly belonged]

DrSpike · January 13, 2003, 05:12

HershOstropoler I think.

DarkCloud · January 13, 2003, 22:45

Why did he change it to that?
Does it mean something in German?

Thanks!

Dauphin · January 13, 2003, 23:14

According to Google its the name of a court jester to an C18-19th Rabbi.

Roland doesn't need a reason, he simply is.

He said something about only posting in the OT econo-thread, and that he wanted a 0 post count.

Oerdin · January 14, 2003, 05:20

I do think it is a little unfair that many of the posters who were here several years ago got to spam there way to Empirer on the OT while the rest of us actually have to work for our posts.

Also how many of the play 100 haven't signed on in the last year? I know there are more then a few people on the list who've made "I'm leaving and not coming back thread". Wouldn't it be better to keep the 'poly 100 list filled with currently active posters and eliminate the long dead alaises?

I don't know about elimination, but there has to be some measure of activity. Either drop them as Oerdin suggests, but only if they haven't posted in a generous amount of time, or mark them in some other way if they haven't posted in the last month.

No. You newbies need to respect the site's history.

He lied than. My trolling lured him into another OT thread. Apparantly he is a connasouer (sp?) of trolling.

DrSpike · January 14, 2003, 11:29

Maybe it was only posting in the OT, but predominantly in the econo-thread then.

Are post counts really that important to you?

Yeah, you put so much thought and effort in your on topic posts

You can't get an custom avatar before... :/

Dauphin · January 14, 2003, 13:03

I think that is a silly rule.

But remember, us veterans went years without avatars.

Why? It can't have taken you that long to reach 500 posts. Or do you mean there were no custom avatars at all in days gone by?

Locutus · January 14, 2003, 14:32

When you registered here, DrSpike, avatars were still a novelty. At that point they had only been here 3, 4 months or so...
