I was just curious as to what y'all have accomplished in your time playing NS and posting the forum. Did you do anything productive? Answer issues? Just spam? Socialize? Debate? RP? Something else?

Nothing yet. But I'm just new :)

I have corrupted dozens of young impressionable minds. :cool:

Lunatic Goofballs has corrupted me. And I spam.

is there something to actually accomplish here?

I don't do much, mostly I piss people off, get insulted, get defended, start all over again. NO big deal.

i've just spammed, answered issues and complained about my own issues. pretty standard NSer really.

I've had some good debates, and been forced to re-examine my political ideologies once or twice. I've also RPed and stalked British Stereotypes.

Yes.

Yes.

Heh. That would have been my answer too. I've done pretty much everything except Mod.

Nothing,

everyone stalks british stereotypes at one point or another. for different reasons.

Oh, don't be modest. Hundreds, surely. ;)

I hope so, but I'm using a conservative estimate. :)

i've gotten me an awesome gf from here, that's gotta count for something :)

About a year ago, somebody told me I was directly responsible for them leaving Christianity. I'm not sure if it was intended as a compliment or an insult.

*nods* Sticky puddles.

*shrug* Quite an accomplishment, regardless of whether it was intended positively or negatively.

hmm, we did have a NS marriage...

there was? between who?

*mustve been before my time*

Now that's a good accomplishment. :)

and blood. she does tend to stab people with the nearest sharp object.

*mustve been before my time*

Jim and Roan.

Yeah, prolly before your time.

I know, isn't it the hottest thing you ever saw? *gets dreamy far-off look*

depends on why they left it.

....and the only person who makes a person decide on their religion is themselves. no matter what they tell you.

Jim and Roan.

Yeah, prolly before your time.


sounds like it. none of those names sound familiar. do they still post here?

if someone told me that it would be an insult, they probably thought you would take it as a compliment, but I know you wouldn't since you would want people to think for themselves and not blindly follow anything (not even you)

I know, isn't it the hottest thing you ever saw? *gets dreamy far-off look*


stabbings are not hot to me. fiesty women are though.

Jim does on occasion.

Ah. I'm a bit of a sadist.:p

Yes, lots!

At first, I learned more about the basis of pro-choice arguments, and about debating tactics. I began to add my two-cents, mostly in gay rights and abortion threads. (I'm prolife and believe in gay rights?:eek: How is that possible?! And yet, I do.)

I've gotten into heated discussion about gay rights, while mostly keeping my cool and never getting warned by mods. I even got an apology from an opponent!

I was offered travel services to India, adopted into Spammers, and made some new friends. I've mistaken Minoriteeburg for a girl. I've apologized for being wrong, on the forum, earning me the fondness and respect of my virtual peers.

I've sat in awe and wonder at the brilliance of other posters, and tried to learn from them.

Basically, anyone who says I waste time on NS is full of crap.

Jim and Roan.

Yeah, prolly before your time.
and me and tink's "e-marriage"

*shiftyeyes*

Now that's a good accomplishment. :)
:)
tis not quite as fancy as marriage but meh, i'm happy :p

You awe me with your brilliance. *nods*

Kudos. Learning is certainly not a waste. :)

Why, just this morning, I changed the world! One stinky diaper, let me tell you . . .

LMAO! :D

Jim does on occasion.

jim as in big jim P?

jim as in big jim P?

Yeah. Know him, do you?

"Those that talk about it, don't do anything.
And those that do, don't talk about it."

I've clicked everything I can see on this page, and I still haven't got to control the world.

Yeah. Know him, do you?


spammed with him a couple of times.

Ive accomplished much procrastination during the previous school year, and as the new one approaces I assume the same will happen

I've been an idiot one time too many. *sigh

My brightest moment was probably finding some kid in So Cal with big issues a hotline he could call for help. Dunno if it helped or not but from my end it felt like it did.

Let's see...

- I learned a lot about Anarchism. Like, lot's and lot's. Anarchists are more than happy to post pages and pages of material for you. Volumes. Who knew Anarchism had so many rules?
- I managed to post a cover letter for a resume to Al Qaeda. (Still no reply.)
- I wasted away hours and hours of potentially productive time at work just reading these forums, let alone responding to them.
- I learned that nothing makes you more of an 'expert', than having an opinion and the ability to link to wikipedia.
- I learned that, even in a politically charged forum, most of my fellow Canadians seem relatively indifferent to much needed electoral reform.
- I discovered that there are many, many Michiganders on this site who stay hidden, until the moment you start talking about a) the Michigan accent, or b) Tim Hortons coffee. They're a proud, proud lot.
- I discovered that there are scores of attractive, intelligent, politically-minded Canadian women who post here regularly. These types of girls never seem to exist 'in Real Life'. Or maybe it's just because I live in Oshawa.

There's probably more 'productivity', but that's what comes to mind.

Same here. :)

aw. :(

I don't think you're an idiot at all.

Thumbs up. That's a good thing to do. :)

Spam, and stay with a dying region. Poor Waynes World...

I've managed to waste many otherwise productive hours that should have been used to write essays.

I've discovered that girls on the internet are not a myth as I previously thought but that I shouldn't assume that just because someone has a girly sounding name that they are in fact a girl, and ,indeed, vice-versa.

I've found that a high post count doesn't always mean the poster has something useful to say on a subject.

I've found that the spam page can be fun.

Odd that you mention it, but my biggest accomplishment has been to pass myself off as an attractive, intelligent, politically-minded Canadian woman.

I kid.

*chuckle*

But seriously, what have you accomplished here, aside from earning my respect?

I would say that's about it, aside from possibly being put on several hit-lists. I'm more of a Rebel Without a Clue than Royalty around here:

Meh. You could be royalty if you posted more. But not posting much is part of your charm.

Yeah, I've accomplished nothing other than having found a good way to waste time.

Good ways to waste time are few and far between. I'm glad you took advantage of this one. :)

Those are great. :D

Well, yes, I suppose :)

I've managed to keep some shred of sanity despite a lack of social contacts during the summer. (33... more... days... before... school... starts...)

I've also called down the wrath of Mod (via posts in Moderation) on deserving threads in a few occasions, and drove someone into submission in a thread on school uniforms.

Heh, I generally fit the description of a Big Cat (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/bigcat.htm). How fitting.

Ws that me? Because I need officially conceeded on that unifroms thread :D

Sanity is highly overrated. I know. I was sane once. :)

Since I joined NS, I completely rewired my political ideology, but that wasn't really down to NS, external factors and exciting new literature were bigger players.

Sanity is highly overrated. I know. I was sane once. :)

Wait, did I say I was sane? Okay, I've really lost it... I usually refer to my barely controlled insanity. Now I have to fear for my insanity! :eek:

"Lose it. It means, go crazy... nuts... not in possession of one's faculties... three fries short of a Happy Meal... WACKO!"

I should probably put that in my sig.

I can't quite remember, to be honest, but your location does sound about right...

Another achievement: after writing up one of my long posts in the aforementioned school uniforms thread, I modified it slightly and submitted it to my school's newspaper. Since my school's newspaper is chronically short of material, my article was published. :)

Stargate.

Specifically, the Season 4 episode "Window of Opportunity", aka "Best. Episode. EVER!". (I've made comments to my family that the Season 4 DVD might make a good birthday present for me, just so that I could watch the episode whenever I want to.)
