I'd be pretty sad if this thread got locked.

One question I have is this:
Is this the longest thread dakka has ever had?
If not how long is the longest?

I expect it is the longest, either way, I like Alpharius' toying with you...

I like this thread, it's my happy place!

VikingScott wrote:Is this the longest thread dakka has ever had?

No.

What's the longest then? In pages.

@Frazzled.

I'd return with a armada of Black Metal raiders, bent on destroying everything, then setting it on fire. And I guess the Kvlt thing to do would be to make a shrine to Odin.

On a different note. I'm going to my first 40k tourney in a few days.

Good luck!

VikingScott wrote:What's the longest then? In pages.

I would guess War, its up in the two-hundreds I believe.

EDIT - 227 pages to be precise

Really?!?!!?!?
Whats that thread about?

I'm welling to bet that this is the longest living thread in the off topic though.

Thank Odin some of our more "argumentative" members never took a interest to it.

Just noticed the facepalm orkimotion is now useable

If this thread does get locked before I can post again, I would lik eot let everyone know something.

Thank you. Thank you for making this one of the best threads on dakka, as well as arguably my most succesful.
Looking back at how it first began, I'm pretty damn happy with how everythings gone down.

It started off as a place where people could complain and rage about stuff, and then evolved into, as many members put it (quite appropriately too), dakka's twitter.

If this thread does get closed down, it's been one hell of a ride.

Also if it does get closed down: I blame Anung Un Rama.

Now, what's on my mind?

Whatever happened to that Jimi Nemesis guy? Or all the other dakkites that sorta fell through the cracks?

@Scout jimi I have not a clue.

I used to talk to him on a heavy metal forum as well.

Or for that matter, what happened to Shrike78?

I used to email him semi regularly, but about a year and a half ago it stopped. The last couple he sent left me kinda worried.

Also, I need to start watching hockey again. it's been so long since I've caught a game.

And I got started reading my dark heresy rulebook again. Never had a chance to get a group started, hopefully I will be able to this summer.

Well I'm off to practice for the tournament with some mates.

I bought 2 torpedos of pop and 2 MASSIVE bag's of chips. As well as my metal collection and a radio we can plug in.

So to ward of lackofgiblet power depression i started to paint up my kroot. Im not enjoying white spray paint. I'd seen such good things from it (Xanthos, Migsula) but when i used it....well. It became apparent that even with whit paint my models dont look great. Still, being able to greyscale a couple of bits is pretty good. I like my colour scheme though, so i thank the small things.

Also, i had a chat with Naomie, and we decided it was a drunken mistake, and we aint gonna tell my Girlfriend.

And, we got another gig. Its a couple of weeks away, and im already psyked.

VikingScott wrote:Is that i lock threat or is it just going to happen now?

It is just What's On My Mind, is all...

Ah ok then.
That's good.
.....I think...

hehe, And, i just found a pencil with a jester on the top.

It jingles when you shake it. Hours of fun to be had.

I did it.

I won, Dakka. I beat him. But I did it MY way.

I walked in this morning with a plan. He was just standing their with a big stupid grin on his face, and his mates all around him. "Ready to die?", he asked. I just looked back. I have to admit I do hurt all over, because I took those hits like a man. First he went for the stomach, then the legs, then the head, with all his gang cheering him on. Then, after a few minutes, he stops. He stands back. He smiles. And I play my ace in the hole.
I laugh.
I just stood their and laughed, Dakka. I just laughed. And I don't know why, but in that moment I knew no matter how much it hurt I would take it, because I'm Little lord fething Fauntleroy and I was born to make my stand, and in the end it doesn't matter where I made it, but that I was there and that I was still standing in the end.

By this time he's desperate. He's hitting me without cease or respite, and I'm on my knee's because my sides are literally splitting. The bell goes, and he's so creeped out that he runs off. But before he does, he aks me one question, "What are you?" And I answer him.


Me.

Win!

Good on you. Take it like a man, show him you've got more balls than him. I wouldn't be surprised if he had fewer balls than ghosty....

I'm joking man, take it easy!

Stephen King reference.

I believe it was Larry Underwood that said that in The Stand.
I still think you should've kicked his ass.

But you played a partial tyler Durden. You should've pounced on him and shaken blood al over screaming 'YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!"

"What are you?"

"Kieth Jardine. The only man to take a kick to the knob and laugh it off!"


Seriously. He's one creepy dude. That's who this reminded me of


Good on you though. You saved face, and didn't take the low road on it. If you ever find yourself out this way, I'm buying you a pint, legal age or not

OK, so either that's a lie or it's a story of epic proportions! You should be freakin' proud of yourself man, you really should! Good On You!

If I ever meet you, I shall also buy you a pint. Sadly, you also live in Britain, so the chances of this have increased.

Good on you Little Lord, you make me well up inside!

@Shadowbrand First tourney, eh? You're going to meet some characters that you'd never expect to meet as you think you've probably met all the characters you'd ever meet through gaming.

TFG - Level 10. Probably from out of town.

Land Squid guy - 100 7-11 buritos too many has morphed this guy into a shreiking wobbly pile of 40K goo.

My blind friend painted my army guy - It'll give you a boost of confidence in your own painting abilities.

"I did shower this morning!!!!" guy - At first, you're like huh?, but then you're like "P-U, bud!" When he left his roomate Oscar the grouch in the garbage can that morning he must've forgotten to brush his teeth or stumbled into a pond of cat pee.

Creepy Black Metal/Satanist guy - He plays Chaos. His figures are very detailed. He is Creepy.

Stoner guy - "What, man?! Is it my turn already?!! Far-out!"

Little Kid - 12 years old. Screams. Hates losing. You'll get a chance to play him. 50/50 chance Mom is hot.

Good Luck!

Wow... That list is actually so accurate that I'm afraid of you. Truly and honestly afraid. Like you're watching me, and judging my character and how/where I would fit, while I remain ignorant of your presence.

Seriously. That list sounds like the regular crowd I have to suffer whenever I visit my FLGS during tourney days.

The only person you forgot is...

Screaming sound effects guy - Insists on making "Pew Pew", "FREEEEM" and "KABOOM" noises all game, every game. Frequently hyperventilates due to abuse of oxygen supply.

You guys realise that Shadowbrand is probably one of these characters!

I'm thinking 'Stoner Guy'...

He's a cross between Metal guy and Stoner guy, yea.
