8000 posts?!?!

It helps if you don’t drop off the face of the planet for 7 months and 2 days like I did this year. hehe.
Hmm, at my average posting record, I’d be challenging Switch right about now had I not gone and done my civic duty to the continuing freedom of this nation. :P
That’s okay. Switch will get a virus that’ll take him down for a week one day, and then I’ll close in for the kill like a lioness laying in wait for her antelope!

LOL, 22.273 posts per day current average. I was pushing 23, but have eased up a bit since my promotion. Jen will slip ahead of me next year as my time demands away from these boards increase…
-
Watch out I could still post 7800 posts before June and I could still beat that record
-
8219 is the official record. :-D
You just need a little over 53 posts a day for the next 6 months to tie that record, or have Jen log in as you and do her posting under your ID :mrgreen:
-
:lol: I have enough time to do it I just don’t post a lot because usually when I read a topic other people have posted whatever I would say so I dont bother
I am however an active reader of the forums
-
@ncscswitch:
I think the 1-year bar has been set at a level that will never be challenged.
And I really feel really sorry for the person who beats it…
i just lloked you have 576 pages in the see the last post of this perons. 576 page!! :-o your crazy. if you died today it would take me 8 years(3 posts per dayis my average) to oot post you.
-
why have so many people never posted. why would you need an account if you don’t post what else whould you use it for. i was surprised at me being number 100 thought i was giong to be in the thosands.
i am General Artillery. :mrgreen: no artillery has posted more than me. :-D kindia hard when theres only room for one more post then if they go higher than that they a tank. -on more would be 249
-
If I pass Switch in number of posts, I want pretty green stars under my name! I also want the title Commander in Chief instead of Heavy Bomber!!! NO!!! Better!!! Empress in Chief!
-
Oh you will pass me, eventually.
My lead narrows every day, and will narrow more as my time is more and more restricted…
-
Yes, but my rate has also dropped lately. I have finals comming and of course, I have pre-Christmas exams to give my 7th and 8th graders that I’ll have to grade so I can get grade reports into the office to be mailed so kids can have a rotten christmas, etc. :)
-
9000 coming up eh?
-
Appears so…
-
Well I’m approaching tankhood - let’s see if I can finish demolishing DarthMaximus in our PBEM game before that point (about to play J4 and start rapping gently on Russia’s back door)
-
When I found this site I thought I would just poke in from time to time to see what folks were talking about and check for answeres to questions that might come up. I’m pretty surprised I’m still around. Funny how things get to be a habit.
-
When I found this site, and then became active… I figured it would be about 2 years to reach the Top 10 in posters, barring lots of activity form others.
But I joined in, I posted some radical thoughts, had them ripped to shreds, played some games, talked politics, and in general have enjoyed the hell out of my time here.
A little over a year later, and almost 9000 posts… I am still enjoying myself, and just a little bit pleased that I am a respected member of the community.
#1 in posts is shite. But having folks respect my opinions in some areas, and willing to argue with me in others, and tell me I am full of shite in still others means a heck of a lot to me. Kind of nice to be able t blow off steam, have other folks call me on it, and then engage that person in a friendly game afterwards. Not a lot of places in this world allow for that…
-
Friendly? You’re friendly to other players??? :wink:
-
I am when they post moves promptly and keep games moving :-P
-
I’m goin as fast as I can. I had a day when I couldn’t post, but I did at least forwarn people!
Sheesh, give a girl 2 hours to at least get to posting another round in the same day, eh? smile
I’m really, really tring to be amiable. It’s just the game is so close to end, we may as well just finish it off. It’s been SO screwed up, I don’t think a round has gone by where we got average dice results for the entire round, and that’s both for and against after 17 rounds. (Though the first 3 were absolutely the worst 3 rounds i’ve EVER seen in an AAR game, EVER, EVER! for the allies. I may as well have been sitting there throwing pickled pigs feet at you because at least hten you’d smell bad as you walked over me!)

The only truly BAD dice were that attack on SZ36, and the bad dice Germany got when going after the first Allied North African force. Those were fracked dice, and they gave command of the Pacific to Japan for the entire game (until you decided to go back to the Pacific in the late game, abandoning a weakened UK to the Germans).
There were some minor battles that went a little awry, but nothing that was as noticable as that SZ36 battle in Turn 2 or 3 and that Luftwaffe salughter around Turn 6.
Everything else was simply a matter of me grinding it out and working you into unfavorable positions and forcing you to take higher and higher risks; some of which paid off (the massive number of Japan ships littering the bottom of Tokyo Bay), most of which did not (the invasions of Western Europe, the UK fleet off Algeria, the Russian evac of Moscow, the attack on the initial Japan fleet in SZ63 that caused most of the USAF to die isntead of being able to go to London and keep the Germans from building fleet…)
Plain and simple, by me staying very conservative the entire game (except for one very high risk move that went VERY badly dice-wise in North Africa that cost Germany the Luftwaffe) I was able to just wear you down from start to finish.
And the most telling example of how I was able to wear you down and keep you using your forces in high risk/low return battles:
Germany has held Rhodesia, IEA, UOSA and Madagascar since the earliest rounds, and despite having had NO German forces in Africa for the past 12 or so turns, they have been German territories since I first claimed them… an extra $75 IPC’s to Germany since that time. The failure of the Allies to ever liberate Africa tells the tale of how the Axis set the tone of this game and made the Allies play by the Axis’s battle plan. -
I wasn’t really thinking of major engagements. It’s those thousands of small engagements when my defenders had a 100% miss rate that did it. A flock of mosquitos can kill a dinosaur of the dinosaur doesn’t produce anymore blood to spill!
