I try as hard as I can. Friday right?? I have school until umm like 4. then I can post. I really do not know how much I will be able to do seeing as I have my oral presentation on Friday, but hey at night I am all yours!!

I hope that was directed towards me. wink.gif I'll think I should go wait behind the tanks...

Okay, forgive me for this post, but I have always wondered & finally have the courage to ask - what exactly is a posting war??? How does it work? What's the purpose? I am ready for the ridicule I am about to receive. ph34r.gif

laugh.gif I was just wondering the same thing. Isn't it great to be so naive?
BlueJeanBaby05
I'm not going to be able to participate much, but I do have a plan. I've decided today that I'm going to stay up for the first hour and post as much as I can. Then tomorrow, if I can at some point in the day, I will try to steal an hour and post like mad again. I'll be at my parents, so there are no guarantees, and sometimes their computer is just plain slow. Best of luck everyone!!!!

Basically, the Post War is an event that takes place for 24 hours. We post as much as we can, and try to take over the 'top 20 posters' positions on the entire nbc message boards. Last time, we managed to hold 16 out of the 20 spots! Basically, post as much as you can from Midnight (tonight) to Midnight (tomorrow), and try to get on the top 20! At the end of the day on Friday, we gather all the results and see what happened! So, expect the boards to be a little crazy tomorrow. wink.gif

So you're saying to post-post-post like CRAZY tomorrow on any & all threads??? Cool!

Yes, but be reasonable. Still post like you would normally post, but do it as much as you can. This means: no 'one word' replies, no posts with just smileys, and don't just say a bunch of gibberish. We're still actively participating in discussions and games, but just at a rapid pace! biggrin.gif Usually this thread becomes pretty lively because you can post about anything, war related or not, during the war. It's almost time to advance troops, make sure all you're ready to be deployed and O-zero hours!
Fancy_New_Becca
oh yes less than 10 mins to go!!!

O-H are you not opening up Roy's one word thread again??
BlueJeanBaby05
ok, are we starting this or what?
Fancy_New_Becca
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET THE WAR BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
scottyskater77
Ok. Let's do it!!!

Chaaaarrrggeeee!!!!!!!
BlueJeanBaby05
Don't be mad at me, Scotty. tongue.gif I didn't mean to screw up the story. I think my computer is acting kind of funny.
scottyskater77
It's all good, BJB. It's because we are all trying to respond at the same time, so all our posts are getting out of order and everything. It's all gravy baby. wink.gif laugh.gif

I think we're off to a good start everyone! I checked the top 20 at midnight, and the #1 spot only had 87 posts. I think we can dominate the entire top 20 if we get everyone in full gear. Let's do it!!!!
Fancy_New_Becca
every post counts.. and there are no reasons why you can't post some impressive numbers with the one word thread open!! LETS RULE THE TOP 20!!!
BlueJeanBaby05
Hey, are there twenty people up for this??? I hope so.

I picked the wrong night to take a nap. I asked my husband to wake me up in twenty minutes, but he thought he was being so sweet to let me sleep. Instead, he got snipped at.
scottyskater77
Ok, guys. I'm going to go to bed in five minutes. I have to work tomorrow, so I won't be posting a whole lot until I get home around 5:00. Then, I got some leftover pizza in the fridge, so I'm all set for food.

My overall goal is to make at least 300 posts. It seems small for me (twss), but it'll have to do. Of course, I can always change my goal as the day goes by. biggrin.gif

On my lunch break tomorrow, I am going to try and do 100 posts in an hour. Last war I had 97 (I think), so I'm going to pull off 100 this time! Wish me luck!! Everyone keep posting!
scottyskater77
That's ok, Muffy. Just start posting! biggrin.gif Remember, you've got until Midnight (eastern) tomorrow.
BlueJeanBaby05
See that's kind of what I mean. Something weird is going on. Scotty, you responded to Muffy's post before Muffy's post even appeared? How did that happen. Are you psychic now?? Or is Muffy your new ohomb?
scottyskater77
I just posted about this in the anomaly thread.

Ok. I'm off to bed. Goodnight and goodluck, slodiers! Over and Out!

Someone mentioned this on the anamolies thread a few days ago. it's been happening for about a week, I think.

who is cuter? the cop or the person being arrested?


The guy in EGF's avatar.

I don't know, they're backs were turned away.

Unfortunately, I think the arrestee was in better shape. He looked like he had a decent body. (But then, the cops caught him)

Diapers keeps emailing me. Who paid him to commit this sabotage?
