Rank

[silverDistortioN]

the braggarts' thread. ^.~

check out my new rank! i'm an adventurer! =D

[Zedie9]

:wonder: I wonder if this thread will end up with the highest post count like the old Rank Thread did. The one that Bama created. :angel:

[silverDistortioN]

screw you, Zedie. i'm not going to wait another couple of days to talk about whatever topics i want to talk about.

you snooze you lose.

[Zedie9]

:wonder: Screw me...? Perhaps so. Perhaps it shouldn't irritate me. Perhaps I'm being silly. And perhaps I'll come back later, because for now, I'm certainly leaving. :p

[Kilu]

What do you guys think, should the old regulars get their threads back? I think... NOT! :D We don't need couple dozen threads now because we have the How's Life thread :)

[pikatsu]

Hey silvah, can I borrow your fox, or more precicely, his friends? :lick:

[Locke Cole]

Silver, play nice. The new forums need time to expand, they don't need all the old threads restored instantly. I'm sure some of the original forum users would have very much appreciated posting their old threads, especially people who have been with our forum system for over 4 1/2 years. If I remember correctly, you were a late bloomer, been here less then a year :p The new forums haven't even been open 12 hours yet, and the old ones arn't totally locked down yet. Plus, it looks abit silly if an entire forum areas' threads were all started by one person. Anyways...... :offtopic:

As for the ranks, you should see some new ones and some old ones, definately more then the last boards. :D No more ugly 5 stars, that's for sure.

[Kilu]

It would actually be quite hilarious if all of a sudden fifth rank (or some other later rank) would be a star rank :D I would laugh. But I'm sure most would not. I guess I'm a bit nuts :wacky:

Oh, and I might add that wow. Locke is posting :) Guess the new forums put you on a posting spree as well :p

[Locke Cole]

I do agree, most of the users wouldn't be too excited about reaching that one Kilu :p I tried to make it so each new rank is a little better then the last. Right now, we're all adventuring through the new forums. Soon, some of us shall gain some new abilities... :D

[silverDistortioN]

Silver, play nice. The new forums need time to expand, they don't need all the old threads restored instantly.
i was restoring the ones i wanted to post in. it's in the middle of summer and i was expecting to have to wait for a week or so otherwise.

except the how's life thread. i apologize for that one.

anyway!
here are the ranks i assembled... i liked the newbie ranks, but some of the later ones i wasn't particularly fond of. i told Locke to remove the second mystic. i just thought it looked cool: ranks (http://sixty9.servebeer.com/ranks.html)!

i figure it's okay to post that since he's apparently not using it... but if you want me to, Locke, i'll go ahead and delete that.

[Locke Cole]

Nah, let people see your suggestions. I went off on my own trail, but used some of your input for ideas. I don't intend to spoil however. ;)

[Kilu]

Hunter :) Hooray for Robin Hood look-alikes.

Antonio Banderas!! :rofl: :thumbup:

[Kyari]

Wow . . . you guys areup to a good deal of posts already. I'm at home . . . can't post anything here in excess. Stupid dial-up . . . it works now, but we have 1 phone line . . . :(

[Locke Cole]

The forums will be abit slow for now, but don't worry about people appearing to "shoot up" the ranks. When the first forums opened, I remember hitting like 250 in the first week, alas, it slows down as the new fad fades into an everyday thing. As you all know, I don't post very frequently, but this is a new toy, so I'm getting use out of it for awhile :)

I'm a hunter, w00t.

[Kyari]

Oh, I've no doubt these forums will keep me entertained for a while. i just feel bad being on dialup, that's all. My connection is tied up between chess and this and downloading firefox . . .

[BAMAToNE]

:wonder: The one that Bama created. :angel:

Yeah, no fair. Now I won't be enshrined in immortality for starting the Rank thread.
:bawl:

[silverDistortioN]

i didn't even notice you created it until last night. XD
sorry. =)

[Zedie9]

:wonder: Hmm... I suppose you could always create it again... :evilgrin:

[pikatsu]

And again! There can never be enough rank threads. I wan't to be Antonio!

Oh, those were just suggestions.....

[Locke Cole]

We only need one rank thread :p

Alas, those wanting to be Antonio, may be disappointed later.

[silverDistortioN]

...or will they?! o.o

[Zedie9]

And again! There can never be enough rank threads. I wan't to be Antonio!

Oh, those were just suggestions.....
:evilgrin: Let's modify Jari's Rank Ascension to always be Anotnio then. ;)

[Locke Cole]

I have one thing to say about my new rank....

I'm a treasure hunter, DAMNIT!

[Kilu]

Locke is thief! Hooray! :)

But no Antonio... :(

[Zedie9]

:nana: You're a thief, too, Kilu. And so am I, for that matter. Any guesses as to what's next? I certainly didn't expect to be on the third rank already... :bouncy:

[Grim]

tis hard for me to gain ranks, I don't have too much to post about. O_O

[Locke Cole]

You're a thief, too, Kilu. And so am I, for that matter. Any guesses as to what's next? I certainly didn't expect to be on the third rank already...

As like the old forums, the first 4 ranks are really just for weeding out the difference between our newbies/people who don't stay long, and those who have contributed to our forums. Anyone who hits rank 5 has obviously spent atleast some time posting with us. Don't worry, it'll slow down. ;) I remember hitting 5th star on the old forums on like day 3. :p

[Kilu]

I remember hitting 5th star on the old forums on like day 3. :p

I didn't. That makes me all special :p

Actually, I started out posting only in game music area, and stayed there for quite a while. Started to gain more ranks after I polluted the general area with my nonsense as well.

[Grim]

HEY! I've been posting for 2 years on the old forums, and I was still in the star ranks. :cry:

[Locke Cole]

It was all out craziness when the old forums opened. We had people like darkfant and rpgcrazed, spectre316, chocobo... we all use to post like mad, all kinds of nonsense. The forums matured from there. :p

[silverDistortioN]

I remember hitting 5th star on the old forums on like day 3. ...damn. it took me months to hit that 5th star.

[Locke Cole]

Well that should be a sign as to how crazy it was :p It was more like a chatroom then a forum back when it first opened. Now that we're simply moving from a developed forum and not starting fresh, these forums are developing much more quickly.

[Grim]

heh, I'm just happy I'm not being stuck with stars this time around :w00t:

[silverDistortioN]

i kinda liked the stars... they set me off as a distinguished newbie. B-)

[Grim]

huzaah a new rank :bouncy:

[Yuffie]

What are the rank boundaries? Or are they a cunning and surprising secret? ;)

[Kilu]

Yup, it's all secret. We know the couple first ones, but I'm not telling atleast :p

[Zedie9]

:D I like that the changes come with little warning - for instance, you didn't gain rank at your 100th or 101st post. ;)

[silverDistortioN]

awesome. you get antonio banderas at 125.

...antonio banderas in high heels.

[Kilu]

you are a dancer. how do you feel now? :)

edit: so am I, it seems :)

[Zedie9]

you are a dancer. how do you feel now? :)

edit: so am I, it seems :)
:dance: :w00t: :dance:

:wonder: Though... I somehow keep falling further and further behind Silver... :p

[Yuffie]

I need to get posting!!! I'm ruining my reputation as a posting maniac!! :amazed:
Quick!! Give me something to talk about!!!!!!!!

[Locke Cole]

:dance: :w00t: :dance:

:wonder: Though... I somehow keep falling further and further behind Silver... :p

I gave up trying to keep up when silver and kilu have already practically doubled me. They reply to everything :o I try to stick to only topics I can think of something to add to, so I'm bound to fall farther back.

[Grim]

that is exactly what I do, and I have like a 1/3 of what you have :)

[Locke Cole]

Well maybe the forums just lack topics you prefer to discuss, add some :)

[silverDistortioN]

i only reply when i have something to say in return... it's just that this board seems to get so many more posts than the other one.

................ >.>
must... see... fifth... rank...

[Zedie9]

:emlaugh: I wasn't trying to call down the wrath of the heavens on Silver, since I don't really feel like he's been spamming or anything. I was just voicing... bah! You know what I mean. :p

[kai]

:spam: = :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana::banana::banana::banana:

see it isn't like he does that over and over again. . . . . . . . . hey wow they are in sync with my av. :peace:

[Grim]

hmmm, create my own threads eh....thats so crazy it just might work.

[Kilu]

I gave up trying to keep up when silver and kilu have already practically doubled me. They reply to everything :o

I don't :( And besides, Zedie is past me on post count. I'm starting to feel all sad now. Maybe I should channel my sadness and convert it to anger and whoop your ass in ET when the time comes.

[Lord Draud]

Wee I Am A Noob Again!

[Giea]

i only reply when i have something to say in return... it's just that this board seems to get so many more posts than the other one.

must... see... fifth... rank...

Ohohoh!! Like I said in another thread the 5th Rank is Scary Spice from the Spice Girls!!

[silverDistortioN]

perhaps... but that's no substitute for actually seeing it. =)

[Locke Cole]

Ohohoh!! Like I said in another thread the 5th Rank is Scary Spice from the Spice Girls!!
You couldn't be much farther off if you tried. :p

[Grim]

is Rank 5 a Giantelligent MOOSE PICKLE?!!

[Yuffie]

It's Posh spice? O.o
Or Beckham! Oh wait...he's girly boy spice...

[Locke Cole]

Rank 5 is actually a very large paper pickle inside a burnt envolope.

[silverDistortioN]

my treasure pickle! =o

...i suspect it will take approximately 20 posts for me to see him again...

[Giea]

my treasure pickle! =o

How do you know!?!? Locke!!!!

[Yuffie]

I seem to recall burying something like that in the garden when I was about 5. O.o

[Zedie9]

:wonder: Something like... Silver's treasure pickle...? O_O (http://205.209.144.11/forums/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)

[Giea]

I hate pickles.. sweet pickles sour pickles.. hate em

[Locke Cole]

How do you know!?!? Locke!!!!
The silly fox was just guessing, he has no clue what my crazy numbering scheme is like. :D

[Mithrandir]

Some things never change eh? The rank's thread is gorwing bigger and bigger everyday! :)

As for me, no since I haven't found yet the info on rank I shall stay and adventurer for the moment...

[Kilu]

I haven't found yet the info on rank

And you never will! BWAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

No one (except Locke obviously) knows the ranks or the numbers needed for them :) And it's better that way :D

[Charon]

Shameless rank post.

Hahahaha. Been a while since I've done that. Glad to see this thread is it's usual spam filled self. I always did like how the rules went out the window in the rank thread.

:D

[Giea]

Hmmm.. Maybe Grim Knows!! ^_^ Eat your Heart out Earthlings!! (Meaning Grim might know the order of rank... =P) Well.. Just to tell you guys... I'm glad I don't still have those stars =P

[silverDistortioN]

aw, damn... my guess was 225 for rank 5... oh well. =\

[Pezito]

*check check*

[edit] Bah, I'm still an adventurer... (-_-)

[Yuffie]

I want my big high rank back again!! :(

[Nahkrinoth]

Yay, adventurer to the MAX!!!

[Zedie9]

No one (except Locke obviously) knows the ranks or the numbers needed for them :) And it's better that way :D
:D I agree - the surprise makes losing our old ranks easier to stomach. ;)

[Locke Cole]

Mwhahahhahaa, I am the evil rank knowing person! Do not worry, only 814819831 more posts for rank 5. :evilgrin:

[Pezito]

Do not worry, only 814819831 more posts for rank 5
Do we pick a number in your list, each of us ?
Ok, then I pick a 1. This should let me be rank 5 with this here post !
How smart I am. :D

[edit] You liar ! .·°°(>3<)°°·.

Woohoo, let's go adventuring.

Lucky I'm broke, nothing in there but a bunch of useless cards and junk. Enjoy!

*jabs locke in the back with a coin* har har!! dance to that toon!! =P

mmmmmmmmmmm, cards and flying thingies.....:chef:

HA ! I'm a Hunteeerrrrr... !!!

http://www.guajara.com/wiki/es/media/5/5c/bjork__hunter_.jpg

If travel is searching
And home what's been found

I'm not stopping

I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
But I don't know when

[Kyari]

My wallet is not empty, but you will not find anything of value in there. Unless you like to go to the library. Or you are an LDS church member. Or if for some reason you like recipts and pennies.

I'm not caring about the rank thingies. I'll not be there for 2 years . . . oh well!

[Pezito]

Is it a very subtle trace of melancholy I sense in your post, Kyari ? :)

In my wallet, hm... Well, I kind of split it in 2. There's my actual wallet, in which you will find all the boring stuff - ID card, ID photo (in case I need one for a document), social security card, my last/old/outdated student card, a few restaurants cards, a used japanese telephone card (because it's as useless as it's ultra-thin and pretty ^^), and that's about it. Then there's my "essential" wallet, which I carry more closely (my "boring" wallet usually stays in my bag) as it contains my cellphone, lip balm (mine are often dry, I :lick: them too much), cash if I have any, and my credit card.

[Kilu]

You have a bag with you all the time then? I mean, yeah. I carry my cellphone in my pocket.

I need a new wallet. One with a lots of money in it :p Seriously though... I do. Need a new wallet that is, and money, but those two are separarte issues :) Right now my wallet there is
ID card (with a same picture I maybe plan to post somehwre in here.)
library card (works in here and in neighbouring city as well! :w00t: )
ATM card (to be used in ATM :p )
5 € phone card (that I bought about two years ago maybe, haven't used once)
busscard (unlimited rides for Tornio <-> Kemi axis for a month)
PLUSSA Bonus card (user benefit card for local K store thingy)
couple bandages (???)
a small sticker (that (roughly translated) says "Small trouble, good conscience". It's a sticker I got after I donated blood)
couple old receipts
my civil servicer pass (which would probably still be valid, I just don't have any civilservicer busstickets)
approx 60 € of cash (3x20€ and some coins)


edit: list

[Pezito]

Hehe, yes, I almost always have a bag on my back. :p It's relatively small, I just need it to carry a few things (if not just my 2 wallets :p )... If you add my keys, my book, my glasses, a pocket-umbrella if the weather's bad... Not to mention what's in the bag's pocket : a pen, a notepad, a lighter, a knife, a mini-lamptorch, mini-binoculars (don't ask ^^)... It would be a bit too much without a bag. :D Of course I could take the essential only, but I don't like to carry things in my pockets - it's ugly and unpractical (I like to run without making *bling blang* noises and possibly losing something) ! :p

[Kilu]

bling bling :D :D

I have my cellphone in my right front pocket, wallet in asspocket (or whatever) or in left front pocket, depending on the pants and keys are hanging from the things (above my right front pocket) that keeps belt on it's place. And I don't have a belt. And that is all I carry.

[Kyari]

As long as we're telling everyone the contents of our wallets . . .

- 1 Driver's License
- 1 Beginner's License (aren't they supposed to take these from you when you get your liscense?)
- 2 ATM cards for Credit Union (not in use)
- 1 ATM card for Scotiabank (in use)
- 1 Library Card - full access to any resource in library on PEI (hoo-ray!).
- 1 Subway? Club? Card. Stamps: six (6).
- 1 LDS Temple Reccomend - admittance to any LDS temple in the world. It says 'Daniel A. Aitken' . . . my middle name is Joseph XP .
- Approx. 5-6 cents
- 1 recipt from a Postal Office Money Order for $210 . . . this was for my passport and other corresponding fees.
- 4 international stamps, $1.20 each.
- Lint. Unquantifiable; no medium exists.
- Recipts for gas, ranging from Esso to Irving gas stations. Also unquantifiable; they have been mashed into tiny bits.
- 4 Subway? Stamps. Unattached to card.
- Someone's phone number. Perhaps I should call it.

[Kilu]

- Lint. Unquantifiable; no medium exists.

ahahaha... :) :D

A note btw, I changed my list to ... list. With some descirptions, because it was a mess before :)

[Locke Cole]

Would you like a box for that lint? www.lintbox.net </plug>

:)

[silverDistortioN]

la la LAAA!!!
...damn right that rocked.

[Kyari]

Sorry, Locke, I have a box for my lint already . . . :biglaugh:

[Mithrandir]

WHat do I have in my wallet eh?

- Social Insurance Card
- Health Care Card
- Certificate of Canadian Citizenship
- ATM Card
- SAAQ Idenitification Card (to do driving license exams)
- ATM transaction records
- Business Cards
- American Airlines Card (I never use thembut I would get miles whenever I buy plane tickets)
- Library Card
- Pictures of friends

- Old movie tickets

No money
On my belt I carry my new Motorolla V60 Cellphone (which plays FFT music as a ringtone :D)
And some money in my other pockets
And never forget gum on my left rear pocket.

[Locke Cole]

How did the rank thread turn into whats in your wallet thread? :p Ah well, I guess I better join the masses.

- a $10 Bell QuickChange card (payphone prepaid)
- two old school ID cards
- a RadioShack Gamers Club card
- Business cards for my business advisors, a local computer store, and the United Way
- a Living Rock ID card
- my Ontario Health card

- a Stelco Credit Union ATM card (master personal bank account)
- a Bank of Nova Scotia ATM card (secondary personal bank account)
- a Royal Bank premium business ATM card (Lintbox account)
- my birth certificate
- 2 quarters
- Pictures of Paula

Wow, I have a lot of crap in here. :/

[Zedie9]

Hehe, yes, I almost always have a bag on my back. :p
Backpack. :)

I'm not listing the contents of my wallet. :nana:

[Locke Cole]

Did you notice, on the topic listing if you hover your mouse over the little envolope icon on the left, it shows you how many posts you have in each thread. I have 19 in this one, supposely. O_O

[Kilu]

Heh. Haven't noticed that :) But I did notice that you have apparently disabled topic preview (hover mouse over topic name and it shows you first line of the first post, or something like that, Chudah Corner has this one, and it's annoying me a lot :p )

[Grim]

holy cow, what did I start, heh....

Well my wallet contains very little..

Birth Certificate
Fishing License
TD Canada Trust Interac Card
Health Card
Social Insurance Card
39 cents in change (Canadian and American coins)
$140 in bills (Canadian $50s, and $20s)
the one ring (that I got from FutureShop when I bought LOTR:RotK :w00t:)

[Locke Cole]

Heh. Haven't noticed that :) But I did notice that you have apparently disabled topic preview (hover mouse over topic name and it shows you first line of the first post, or something like that, Chudah Corner has this one, and it's annoying me a lot :p )
The topic preview function you refer to increases topic list filesizes by a lot, so I thought it was worthwhile to disable it and save the bandwidth over time.

[daniel]

Firstly I would like to say that the new ranking system I think is better, I like the way there appears to be more ranks this time and am happy to say I am also 1 up on rank now, I haven't been posting much really:)

Well we are praising I never had the time last time to add bold fonts etc, actually i never bothered to find out how, but with this new forum came these tools etc so that has been cool too.

I like being able to add thread titles and the extra amount of smiley's too:) so thumbs up on this new forum it is much cooler than the last. Is there any plans to totally revamp rpgamers into a new look too or are we sticking with what it is now?

I will keep you posted here with things I find that I like or hate and Kilu:

Booya 100th post! my first;)

[Kilu]

and Kilu:

Booya 100th post! my first;)

So? :p It wasn't totally useless post :p No cops this time :D I noticed earlier today that Zedie and Silver are bards. And last time I checked I was 10 posts after Zedie. And I think Silver had couple posts more at some point while being a Dancer. That means, that within couple next posts, I will still be Dancer, BUT Bard within... 8 next post. Or so.

[Kyari]

Is it just me, or are the new ranks not on rounded numbers? That would certainly make things interesting . . .

[Lord Draud]

heh i have no clue what they are, but i will just keep posting there is no reson to ask realy unless you want to be a rank whore grin

[silverDistortioN]

to satiate curiosity. that's another reason.
...but yeah, a lot of the ranks are on weird numbers. unless Locke's just saying that to mess with your head... >.>

[Lord Draud]

w00t! i am a hunter now! i can hunt and kill and gather food

[Zedie9]

to satiate curiosity. that's another reason.
...but yeah, a lot of the ranks are on weird numbers. unless Locke's just saying that to mess with your head... >.>
:D I don't think he's messing with our heads - the Rank gains seem to come at unusual times.

:wonder: Rank whores... depending on where you put inflection, that can be an interesting phrase. ;)

[Kilu]

Yeah, I'm bard now as well. And yeah, so far every rank gain has been on some weird nimber. Just the way, aha aha, I like it!

[Kyari]

Yeah. No more 'ahh, 3 posts till the next rank . . .' it's more like, POOF! Hey, I'm the new rank! :w00t:

[Yuffie]

I don't have a wallet...or a purse for that matter. :rofl:

I have a treasure chest in my room with my cash and treasure in it. :)

It also has some pizza hut vouchers I think.

[Grim]

Pizza Hut owns :hungry:

and as for the ranks being on weird numbers, I havent noticed anything, I hit Hunter on post #26, thus meaning Adventurer was 0-25, and I think I hit Thief on #61, so Hunter was 26-60. That doesnt seem to odd to me at all. Seems rather organized :p

[silverDistortioN]

as a senior member of these boards, i very much regret to inform you that you are wrong. ^.~

...yeah, i know he's not messing with your heads. i just said that for my own personal amusement. he made them all (okay, maybe not *all*) come up on weird numbers to make it more unpredictable.

[Locke Cole]

The first few ranks are set at obvious numbers as they are easily passed anyways. Once you get up in the 500+ posts range, and it takes 100's of posts to level a rank, having a wacky number in there has an effect :p Only for the first person to hit it, however.

[silverDistortioN]

we can make it an unspoken rule not to give out the number of posts for each rank...

but instead of unspoken, let's make it spoken since i just told everyone.

[Lord Draud]

and now you must die *casts fireball on silver*, picks a cell phone and phones locke " the traitor has been taken care of"

[silverDistortioN]

traitor!?! when the hell was i ever on your side in the first place?

[Zedie9]

as for the ranks being on weird numbers, I havent noticed anything, I hit Hunter on post #26, thus meaning Adventurer was 0-25, and I think I hit Thief on #61, so Hunter was 26-60. That doesnt seem to odd to me at all. Seems rather organized :p
:D Those aren't the numbers I would have chosen, so they seem odd to me. ;) But as others have stated, I like not knowing what Ranks will occur when. :spin:

[Mithrandir]

Well, yay for me I am officially a thief. I can now steal things...muhuhahaha


*steals Yuffie's wallet*

[Giea]

/sigh aren't ladies suppose to have purses... err well I guess we don't know Yuffie's a lady..

[Grim]

*steals Giea's purse* :evillaugh:

[Giea]

hey!! thats my purse.. and a louie vatton purse too!! *or however you spell it* *steals purse and knocks grim to his knees*

[Grim]

*snaps knees off and throws his shins at Giea*

Anyways, :offtopic: sorta....

I think the next rank after bard is a Berserker....the shadowy figure just looks like it I guess...

http://205.209.144.11/forums/images/ranks/5bard.gif

[silverDistortioN]

actually, the next rank is inuyasha... the one after is the sheep thingy, and the last one is a knight.

[Kilu]

But what about Antonio? :(

[silverDistortioN]

it's antonio banderas in his sheep suit... they go with his sheep guitar case filled with sheep cannons.

[Grim]

heh, sheep cannons, I just used one of those playing Worms: Armageddon
:dance:

[Lord Draud]

and you always beet me with them but in the end i learnd the evil of air strikes

[Grim]

I used to beat you with Super Sheep, but meh ;)

[Zedie9]

But what about Antonio? :(
:D Psh... Antonio schmonio. Where're the Riskbreakers, Zombies, Lickers, and Metroids? :shades:

[Yuffie]

Hey cool I'm a dancer! :D

When did that happen? O.o

Rather appropriate considering I'm doing a dance show this September! :SHAMELESS ADVERTISING:

Come along to "WOW!" the magical, musical miscellany! Night out for the whole family! Blah blah blah.... tickets are only a mere £10 (no refunds! :p) at the Sinden theatre. It apparently looks like a pair of sorcerous orbs, you can't miss it. :p

wow, £10 sounds cheap-didily-eap with the airfar-ino included. :D

You mean it's a bag with one shoulder strap, like a duffel or gym bag? Or that it's one of those bags that looks exactly like a backpack, but only has one strap? I would personally still call the latter a backpack, unless it has some silly, new-fangled name. :p

[Kilu]

It's probably a small bag that was in fashion couple years (or something) ago with the ladies :p :p

[Pezito]

Bah ! Who cares about fashion - I care about efficiency. :p As Zedie suggested, mine is "one of those bags that looks exactly like a backpack, but only has one strap". I chose it because in the subway, I don't like to keep my backpack... on my back. ^^ Pickpockets love it when you're in a crowd and can't keep an eye on your back !

Besides, I consider it uncivil to keep your bag on your back when it's crowded, because you take more space than if you hold it in front of you or between your feet. People complain about overcrowded wagons but if they thought about holding their bags more cleverly, we'd gain a lot of space... :spin:

Anyway, this time I thought it can be a bit boring to switch my bag from my back to my err, "front" ; so this 1-strap bakcpack looked cool because I can rotate it from back to front without taking it off (try to visualize... ? :search: ) !

Basically it's just putting more effort into my back and less into my arms, as I hold my backpack less and carry it more than the previous 2-straps one... But it's nice for a change. :D

Oh, and here I hijack this thread again ! :evilgrin:

[Locke Cole]

Silly bards, stop your belly-aching and get ready to transform!....errr... nothing. :)

How the heck did everyone already get to 350? Yipes. At this rate you'll be posting 500 a month, or over 5,000 a year :p I'm never going to keep up! Darnit, it took me 4 years to make what I did on the old boards. I wish I had more time, and more things to contribute to the threads.

[Grim]

heh, me too. However while we are on the backpack discussion, I like cheese. :crazy:

By the way, I basically did the one strap thing as well, cept I had a 2-strap backpack and cut the other off but then I realized I was stupid, because I can't really carry it on my bike anymore, but oh well :)

[Lord Draud]

heh i remember in hight school we played MUD and magic all day and some how my school work kept on geting done

[Giea]

Hey! I get it! Bards can Play all the Dancers songs!! *make Zedie play a song* oh yes! I love this beat!

[Kilu]

Berserker. Was it Kiata who saw this from the shadow?

quick browse prooves it to be Kiata indeed.

I hope the rest of the shadows aren't as easily recognizable.

[Cyrano de Hero]

I remember going to a gamer's club meeting in high school once. It was like an episode of Freaks and Geeks (anyone remember that show?) that I so desperately want to forget...

[Locke Cole]

People can always ruin it by the shadows, as all they need is a Final Fantasy 5 sprite sheet to identify them. If you choose to do this, keep it to yourself.

[Zedie9]

:D Ah, so my next rank will be Beserker... does that mean I can spontaneously go crazy on people? :evilgrin:

[Kilu]

I guess I'm lucky for never having played FF5. And not that curious to find out. Hooray.

[Pezito]

You guys look so cute~♥ in your fashionable furry costumes... Mwahaha ! :evilgrin:
(Ok, mine looks like a Tyrolian, so what ? -_-);

[Yuffie]

A quick note about cheese, my bf's mum went on holiday to France and bought me back a HUUUUUGE babybel. :D

Which is currently being eaten. :)

On the rank topic, I keep forgetting to see what my rank is so I miss it when I change. ^^;

[Giea]

Guys.. you had to admit Scary Spice and Bezerker were PRETTY Close..

[Mithrandir]

I prefer to be a thief and steal things or detect traps than be berserk :p

Berserkers re just not cool . :p

[Charon]

:) I'm a thief now. Watch your pockets. ;)

[Lord Draud]

beserkers are freaking cool, they have big weapons and go all frothy at the mouth, theifs are cool to in the stab you in the back sotra way

[Yuffie]

I'd rather be a thief... from that description a beserker sounds a bit icky. :p

[Zedie9]

:D Good - perhaps when you are, you can attempt to steal your dignity back. ;)

[Giea]

We were talking about this, in MIRC maybe that we should bring it back to life.. so, any questions, comments?

[silverDistortioN]

i was just talking about how it's such a shame that the sheep rank is higher than the wolf rank... thought i'd put it down here for the free post. >.>

[Giea]

I think it's a ram, not a sheepy =P. I could play you a song, if that would make you feel better.. =P

[silverDistortioN]

rams ARE sheep.

[Giea]

I thought sheeps don't have horns tho. =(

[silverDistortioN]

rams are male sheep. sheep may or may not have horns. male sheep often do.

[Astrolounge]

I'm a thief, I don't really want that to change, They are my favorite class...

[Giea]

Odd, because Bard is my favorite class and I want to change =P.

[Astrolounge]

That's because you have no pride in what you do.

[silverDistortioN]

Locke says we'll like the next set of ranks... i can't wait. >.>
i think time mages look goofy tho.

[Astrolounge]

Yeah, their heads come to a point. It just looks strange...

And- DAMMIT!

[Giea]

Locke says we'll like the next set of ranks... i can't wait. >.>
i think time mages look goofy tho.Don't give out secrets! >=(

[Astrolounge]

What secrets? That we will like them?
Or is that just a warning not to?

[Giea]

That he's telling a rank. :shame:

[silverDistortioN]

it's not a secret!

there hasn't been a time mage yet, so time mages must be in one of the next sets of ranks! it's not frickin' rocket science.

[Astrolounge]

Yeah, even I knew that there would be a time mage. And I wasn't even AROUND for the old ranks. It's a class from FF5 so it will likely be there. I bet that shadow will be obvious... unless it's the first in a row of course.

[Giea]

Oh! Okay then, we haven't gotten past the White Mages or Black mages either. I don't think =D.

[silverDistortioN]

Yeah, even I knew that there would be a time mage. And I wasn't even AROUND for the old ranks.old ranks didn't have a time mage... these ranks use a lot more classes than those did. (or maybe just a little bit more. it all depends on your perspective, i suppose.)

[Astrolounge]

As my post says, I wasn't there, I wouldn't know.

[Giea]

You guys probably posted it 2000+ times, but what FF are the ranks based on?

[Nall]

I think Final Fantasy V

[Yuffie]

Isn't there some confusion where in some places it's FF5 and it's FF3 in others where they skipped a few? Or did I imagine that..?

[Astrolounge]

I think more games were made than were translated into English, so some of them have different numbers on the same game.
But yes, I think the ranks are FFV.

[silverDistortioN]

Isn't there some confusion where in some places it's FF5 and it's FF3 in others where they skipped a few? Or did I imagine that..?in the US (not sure about european releases), FF3 = japanese FF6 and FF2 = japanese FF4. but either way, FF5 is always FF5. (which is indeed where the ranks are from.)

[Kilu]

not sure about european releases
There were none.
Very few RPGs were PALled back then. It has gotten better over time, but some remotely new games (Xenogears, Xenosaga, FFT to name a few that comes to mind) never saw the light of the day in Europe.

[silverDistortioN]

wow, you learn something new every day!
but i do have one question... why?! =o

[Kilu]

I suppose PAL conversion takes too much cash and manpower, and maybe they think that the markets aren't big enough to support such conversions.

Another reason might be that some bigger countries in Europe(France, Germany, Italy...) usually get their own localized versions of games. Requires more manpower & all.

But I don't really know. I suppose the NTSC to PAL conversion is the main reason.

My post count is 666 right now :p MWAHAHAHAHA :evilgrin:

[Giea]

I only asked what the Ranks were based on, gosh.!

[silverDistortioN]

it's such a shame that you're not the only person who posts on these boards, hmm. =o

[Giea]

If only I was... Anyways apart from Sivers stupidity

Bezerker Rank! Oh Yeah! =D

[Charon]

Not really posting just testing.

Edit, never mind doesnt work.

FEW GAMES IN EUROPE?
I have found my life's calling, I will make it my duty to translate games into the languages of Europe, and release them there.
Or I will make myself a sandwich.
Damn, they're both good choices...

PS: Bah! Im a dancer now.
Rats. *Starts twirling about.*

[jetblue]

I like european games.
Like my favorite that I talk about alot,Age of empire's 2 for ps2. Wich I still play even though I figured out how to cheat.
I also like little big adventure-ps1,ben hur-ps2,divers dream-DC,exhumed-SAT,war of the worlds-ps1,hell night-ps1,frank herberts dune-ps2,and other games that never made it over here.
But thank goodness for that screen position option.
I have'nt figured out how to ntsc patch yet. And the slight blurryness can be improved with a s-cable.





(It took me a while to figure out but I never posted in this topic before. I must post on every topic now or I will die)

Yeah it sucks. Don't think we ever got the Chronos over here either.

[Pezito]

F***ing great RPGs that never made it to Europe :

SNES : FF4, FF5, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Bahamut Lagoon, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Seiken Densetsu 3...

PSX : Xenogears, Chrono Cross, FFT, Legend of Mana...

Now the good thing is that most of these RPGs on SNES have been fan-translated since then, and I got them all now. ^^ (All I need is time to play them... XD ) As for the PSX games, those were made available in the US so I played the import versions when they were out. :)

[pikatsu]

I'm getting an Gamepark 32... Lotsa emu's and whatnots on a handheld.

By the way, I've just started playing Zelda : The Minish Cap (birthday present ^^) and it's teh g4m3 ! I love it already !

*Straps a pair of lutes to his back and leaves to wander the realms*

[Astrolounge]

Hmm, no posts for quite a while... This calls for a song.
After all, I'm a bard now.

It's called;

"A New National Anthem."

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/note.gif From the grand banks of Alberta,
Where the wale fishes blow,
To the wheat fields of Cape Breton,
In the north Ontario.

'Cross the tundra of Toronto,
We will raise our voices high,
The rockies of Saskchewan,
The great lakes of P.E.I. :note:

Ah, the great lakes...
Supierior,
Infierior,
Mediocre,
And Lake Titicaca.

Sending it's water due south,
Through the deep, rich, fertile soil of Sudbury,
To Vancover, the jewel of the east,
In the vast province of British Columbia,
Next to the frankaphone province of French Columbia.

:note: I have paddeled my canoe,
Down many mountain trails,
And snowshoed through the office towers,
of downtown Montreal.

I dropped a hook and line,
and fished from the top of Mini Hill,
And shot the fierce white water,
In my trusty snowmobile. :note:

How about the nations capital,
Oshawa...
Where our two great parties,
the Liberals,
and the Republicans,
Fight for our rights.

:note: Because if your Canadian,
Your from, Canadia.
Our future's behind us,
Make way for our past.

Sing it strong and loud if your Canadian,
Ha ha, your from Canadia.
We may not know much,
But by christ we're proud. :note:

Thank you.
*Holds out hat for tips.*

*Long Pause*

Come on, this isn't a free show.

[jetblue]

*throw's a sawbuck in the cap*

That was good. Now sing Hava Nagila.

[Astrolounge]

I don't really know how to spell any hebrew words besides Hava Nagila,
even if that is most of the song's words anyway.

How about one about the CN Tower?
You know the thing in Toronto that looks like a freak collision between a Juno award, and a Tim Horten's doughnut.

[Astrolounge]

They should turn the CN Tower into condo's. The big selling point would be,
"Only apartments in Toronto, that do not have a view of the CN Tower."
Sure it's an architectual marvel, but god it's so ugly...
Something that big should not be that ugly.

It's weird too, I mean MOST of it is actually a building, but then it's got that huge spike on top. Yeah, "look how tall our building is."
You can't do that, that's cheating.

PS: No, thats not the song if your wondering how it could possibly be put to music.

[jetblue]

It look's alright. Look's better than the Sears building we have. It look's so black and cold and corporate.
The CN Tower kinda look's like the towers in Seattle and San Antonio. I use to live under both there shadows. Nice inside to.
Condo's would be a great Idea. Like the jetsons but no flying cars.

[Astrolounge]

It's still better than the Calgary Tower of course.

With most towers you stand at the top and say, "Wow! What a view!"

With the Calgary Tower it's more like, "Wow...
...I wonder how the view is from THAT guy's office up there..."

[Mithrandir]

in Quebec City, we don't have high buildings...except we have one that looks exactly like the Empire State Building...only it's not as high.

[Astrolounge]

Well here is the "CN Tower Song."
Whether you want it or not.

The CN Tower Song.

:note:The CN Tower disappeared last night,
And though it's disappearance caused a fright,
No one seems to know quite where it's gone and no one knows why,
An empty space marks the place where it towered in the sky,
And though police are stynied no clue has yet been found,
Theories about the mystirious diappearance, abound. :note:

Well it's Gone,
Gone,
Gone.

:note: The most logical theory so far seems to be,
That some diner in the revolving resturaunt carelessly,
Dropped a fork through a crack in the floor and it got stuck in the mechanism,
And could not be removed, and jammed the whole gear system,
And sent the whole damn building revolving 'round and 'round,
Untill it screwed itself right out of sight, and forever underground. :note:

Well it's gone,
Gone,
Gone.

Thank you.

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/note.gifGoing with the silver flow http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/note.gif
of river wide with current deep and slow

I rest my wings made to soar
But can I fly anymore?

The river it goes ever on
can heart keep pace rushing well till dawn?

Now I shake of weariness
and go to meet what I can guess

The heart has its secret current
Deep and with out guide
to find out where they will lead
http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/note.gifI take the plunge eye's wide http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/note.gif

I think thats the way it goes. Can anyone name this simple tune?

Hi.
I'm a knight now.
I could quote that one stupid thing from that one web comic, but I will not. Because I have some pride left.

[Yuffie]

Woah I'm a bard, forgot about that. O.o

Shame really, I quite liked being a dancer.

But my tap dance teacher moved to Greece last week so probably won't be doing that for a while.

Doesn't stop me on the dance mat or randomly prancing round the house though! :D

[Astrolounge]

What web comic Kilu?

[Yuffie]

Come on Kilu, you're destined to lose your pride sooner or later in this place. :D


Just like aaaall the rest of us...joooin us Kilu.... :evilgrin:

[jetblue]

Here's a blue rose to the one that named the tune

http://airbase.ru/cache/users/jstar/img/640x480/blue_rose.jpg













(shut off protowall to veiw)

Do you know of the quest for the blue rose?

[Elhaym van Houten]

I only know about the quest for the blue flower...

If I remember correctly, that was some idealized quest in the era of romantcism...
:D I might be dead wrong there, though...and I'm too lazy to look it up.

[Kilu]

hey question how do I know the diferent kinds of Ranks?
I'm not 100% sure of what you are asking, but if you want to know all the ranks, you can't. Only way to know is to get there first or look at someones rank who has more post than you.

What's after this one? Maybe that'll be nicer. :D
Trainer. Silver is Trainer right now. Check his profile to see what does Trainer looks like :)

[Yuffie]

Mink = yes
Dead, decaying, flea and maggot ridden wolf carcass = no :p

[eViL bAz]

IT'S VVVERRRYY SIIIMILLAARRR!!!! well I think so hehhehehe lol but you look great

[Astrolounge]

You think a mink is nicer than a wolf? Or do you mean just with thier pelts?

Because minks are f***ing nasty.

[Yuffie]

Well when they're dead they can't be that nasty. :p

But when all's said and done...I think I prefer big fluffy wooly jumpers. :D

[eViL bAz]

lol well anyway theres anyone who need a dance teacher Iam available, hehehe

[Yuffie]

I need one! My tap dancer teacher recently moved to Greece so I'm kinda teacherless... :(

Woe is me and my happy feet... :bawl:

Admitedly now my Wednesday evenings aren't double booked but it was still nice to do. :)

[Astrolounge]

Well when they're dead they can't be that nasty. :p

But when all's said and done...I think I prefer big fluffy wooly jumpers. :D
They certainly smell nasty.

[jetblue]

I use to dance salsa and merengue when i was in my teens. And I was great at it. I use to teach all my freinds. Now I wont dance to save my life.
Mabey one day,when I find,,,,,,,

[eViL bAz]

Ok yuffie Im availabe all days of the week so I can teach you dance hehehehe

[jetblue]

I was about to sing another suiko tune (plastic castles)when i realized Im a freaking berserker. I dont want to be a berserker!
I want to be a bard again damnit! And I just bought this costume......

[Yuffie]

Baz, are you just admitting you do absolutely nothing in life? :p

I think I'll pass. ;)

[eViL bAz]

No Im admit that I have all day of the week in the day to teach some dance, and I have all night to do my things hehehehehe (CHAOS, MIschiefs, and work hehehehehee)

[Cyrano de Hero]

A little bit of doing nothing every now and then never hurt anybody... but a lot of doing nothing hurts everybody...

[Astrolounge]

Um... Define "A Lot."

[Yuffie]

Do you do ballet in pink tights? I just think it'd be cool to have some big chaos dude in pink tights. Tee hee. :rofl:

Now lets see you get your leg on that bar and I'll show you the true meaning of torture! :evilgrin:

[Astrolounge]

Is the bar higher than your head?
If so, I doubt it would be easy for me to do.
For any length of time anyway.

[Yuffie]

Well I'm only 5 foot 3. :p

I can do it so I'm setting you a challenge. :evilgrin:

[eViL bAz]

I have a black tutu But not a pink one and yes I can do that hehehehehe If I am evil its cuz I like to torture my self hehehehehehe, no its joke nut I can dance Salsa and Tango hehehehe

[Yuffie]

That's impressive, I wanted to learn salsa but nowhere really teaches it around here. :(

It's unlikely I'd find a partner either. :p

[eViL bAz]

lol Im good if you want to know (but only for dance)

[Yuffie]

Well ship yourself over to England quickly and you've got a deal. :p

If you can find a club. :p

Plus you'd need to pay me £200 each dance lesson for me being such a charming dance partner. :D

[eViL bAz]

LOL well I will try, Ok but I need that you pay me 200 too so we are at the same

[Yuffie]

I think you're missing the point....I want to make a profit! :D

Think of me as a charity case, you'd be helping me fund university! :D

[eViL bAz]

lol think of charity........................................... ...............................CHARITY!!!!!!...... ................................I dont know that word, but I like to help you, "YUFFIE!!!, YUFFIE!!!" thats it
