Yeah.. It was probably me that got it whistled too. Since I'm the one that usually goes and finds where it was stolen from, and then give the link in the blamclub IRC chat and tell people in there to flag it.. I usually get many many whistle points. (Since I have the evidence first, if anyone is getting a flag in, its me.) And then it just goes to who is quickest.
Possibly in some cases, but you aren't awake and whistling every stolen entry 24 hours a day, man. And I don't think our schedules are perfectly attuned, either.
In any event, sometimes I would have let it slide anyway, because I don't do that deep of a job of researching it. And I'd rather miss out on the point than blow a bad whistle and lose points (don't wanna lose my silver whistle, I like the colour).
Oh come on, you're 75 behind him. If he stops for a week or so, you'd pass him without even trying. Then again, we are talking SAVES here, not blams. Eh. Still, you've done quite nicely in the save department the past few months.
Yeah, I have been saving a lot lately, and I think a few nights ago I was more like 100 behind him, but I still get a lot less saves than blams.
Yeah, but if you'll recall, you almost hit a certain save count and blam count that were pretty nifty and were exactly 3:1 (was it 6000 saves and 18,000 blams? Or something close to that?). And since then, your blams HAVE outpaced your 3:1 ratio a BIT, but you're still nowhere near 4:1.

Here's what you gotta do: hit 10,000, then create an alt account so you can post with that and leave biteme at 10,000.
From there, you can go back to biteme after we're all stunned and awed for awhile...
I'm going to be doing something a little weirder.
Oh, nevermind. I just told you to find this post in another thread, and you already had. Heh. #;-}>
See, after I've made my 10000th post in my OCP thread, I'm finally going to show the BBS what I really look like. I'm totally aware of the fact that no one really cares, but it's just something I promised myself I would do at the beginning of this pointless journey.

uhhh... you're making it sound like a girl preparing to lose her virginity, man. Stop scaring me. #;-}>
I've been involved heavily in two online communities prior to NG (the X-Files BBS and chat on Prodigy from 94-97 and the Final Fantasy newsgroup on Usenet from 98-00), and in both cases, I've not only shown my picture to people but also talked to many on the phone, and met some in person, some several times (about 30 people in total, from the net, I've met in person).
So... you'll have to pardon me if I don't sound impressed or shocked or... whatever... by the act of showing one's picture on the net. Been there, done that. #;-}>
I actually scanned in a picture of myself a few days ago, and as if that wasn't enough, once LegomanClock finally develops the pictures from our little adventure last Saturday (which is documented in the pages of Close Encounters of the BBS Kind 2), we'll have those up as well. I'm kind of wondering just how stupid I'll look doing Jackass-esque stunts in a shopping cart with all my friends...
Perfectly stupid, I'd be willing to wager. And that's the best kind of stupid! #;-}>
