I'm OVER 9000! (posts) / Things You've Contributed to the Org

[Crazed Rabbit]

This is my nine thousandth and first post at the org since I joined almost seven years ago.

What a wild ride! Well, not really. But interesting at times.

So I thought I'd link to two of the most long lived-threads I've started.

The thread that brought mount and blade to the org; Sweet Realistic Medieval Combat. I discovered mount and blade on a lord of the rings mod for MTW site waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 2005. I bought it soon after and have loved it ever since.

And the annually resurrected thread, International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Not anywhere near the post level of the mount and blade thread, though it was also started in 2005.

Good times where had in both threads.

So, my fellow orgahs, what are your most prized contributions to the Org?

I look forward to the responses. For now, I will return to drinking Guinness.

Its hax i tell yah...

Other than that congrats on the mile stone, 9000 more?

And I think I have the word game thread but that seems to have pettered out lately.

[pevergreen]

Hrmmm.

Contributions...

*sees senior member title*

Crap, I better think of something I've done...

[Hax]

Its hax i tell yah...

I deny everything.

[Gregoshi]

Congratulations CR. That is an impressive milestone. Not a speck of spam in there that I ever saw.

[GeneralHankerchief]

The entire 15-month run of KOTR was an amazing ride that created many good memories and, try as we might, hasn't been able to be replicated ever since. I'm especially proud of the fact that I was able to successfully pinch-hit for econ21 and close it out in style with the Battle of Trent.

And of course, I'm still shocked about how successful Mafia has been. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine a little party game would become this big on the .Org.

Many happy returns, and let's hope you stick around for 9,000 more posts (and then some), CR!

[Lemur]

Congratulations, CR. Normally I'd merge this with the Post Count thread, but since this is also a what-are-you-proud-of topic, I'll let it stand on its own.

As for my contributions, I figure the only thing of lasting worth that I've ever done at the Org was to found the News of the Weird Thread. All else is chaff and sic transit gloria mundi.

[Louis VI the Fat]

Congrats, CR! It's been a pleasure and a privilege to have shared this forum with you for so long!

An ambulance, two leprechauns, an ass strapped on backwards, on what is probably a guy, a distraught rabbit. And in the background one suspicious yet familiar looking Rabbit who's no doubt the behind all of this...

[Andres]

It's a real pleasure to have you here, CR

Congrats on the 9000 posts

As for what I'm proud of here at the .Org: the large mafia games I hosted: Trapped in Taormina, The Scourge of Ephesus and Swords in the Moon.

Actually, I think those are Oompa-Loompas.

Congrats, Crazed Rabbit. 9000 posts, and without the spam like Gregoshi says, is pretty impressive. Can't really say I've done anything impressive on the forums, no epic threads to my name. The wiki is probably my only worthwhile contribution.

[Gregoshi]

Guess I didn't answer the OP question. My most prized contribution was the time spent as moderator of the Entrance Hall back when the mortar in the walls hadn't hardened yet and the paint on the gate was still wet. I got to meet a lot of great new Orgahs before they dispersed into the various forums. Of course, that was back in the day when new patrons could post nowhere else but the EH until promoted. Times change.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I think my biggest contribution was "Will of the Basileus" in Throne Room.

[Hooahguy]

i dont think ive contributed anything really. besides arguing in the backroom.

[Thermal]

Well Done CR

As your all aware, I haven't contributed very much at all.

The few notable things being the yearly public profile competitions (Is it even possible to edit your profile anymore) and beginning the signature thread (which was un-sticked and dwindled into nothing ).

[Centurion1]

spam nothing but spam

[a completely inoffensive name]

WHAT 9000?!?!?!

[Csargo]

I can't really say I've contributed anything to the Org. I've played in a lot of mafia games and hosted a couple. Other than that it's been just a bunch of spam. Not sure why I'm a senior member either really.

[Megas Methuselah]

Does anyone watch Criminal Minds, by any chance? A little Asian boy recommended it to me a while back-

This didn't strike anyone as odd? Meth has cast an interesting spell over you all.

I don't think I've been a very good contributor, to be honest...

[seireikhaan]

Most of my stuff has been in the gameroom. Won my second game as mafioso, surviving all the way through was pretty fun. Most of my best moments were winning games as mafioso. Now, if I'd only been 3 minutes faster on getting a PM to GH. Stupid carnival... 'Nuther fun moment was the first time a Necromancer got busted out in Netherworld to bring Sigurd back. Nowadays, I get to be the Good Cop to GH and Sigurd's Bad Cops.

Used to contribute a bit to the Main Hall, but alas, it was on its last legs when I got here. Had a good discussion in the backroom once with Sasaki over human rights, not much besides that though.

[Beefy187]

Congratulations CR!

Havn't done much except contributing a little to the gameroom community.
What I've done in God Father III was my best I guess but I didn't win and Noble Sons game which everyone seemed to like was failed game taking an unexpected turn.

As for bad memories... Getting lynched, and lynching a wrong player.. I think I lynched CR in the final round once and he was innocent

Hopefully by the time I reach 9000 I can be as impressive as CR is

[Moros]

Only 772 post left to finally make a contribution to the .org.

Edit: blast now only 771!

[CountArach]

Congrats mate! A milestone to be sure

As for what I've done that I'm proud of... the Victonian election game would have to be up there, as would dedicating 25 hours of my day to reading polling data during the US Election and being granted the honour of starting the Election Day thread, for a country that I don't live in. I was quite proud at the time.

[Craterus]

My 5 year anniversary tomorrow and this is all I can think of: I stole Big_John's idea and created the second 'what are you listening to right now.. yes RIGHT NOW!!' thread. It's probably one of the largest threads in the frontroom now (mostly through my own contributions ).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

So yeah, nothing.

[Hooahguy]

Only 772 post left to finally make a contribution to the .org.

Edit: blast now only 771!

well moros, you did run the EB monthly screenshot competition for a while.
seems worthy enough!

[Kagemusha]

Congrats CR and thanks for all of your great posts. Hopefully there will be many more yet to come!

[Strike For The South]

testosterone mostly.

And of course the Texas meme all ORGahs hold dear

I was also the steward of the frontroom during some pretty lean times, Thank God for PI and a girl joining the fourm, I had started to run out of things to say

[jabarto]

I haven't contributed much save for some extreme leftism in the backroom. But someone has to do it. :/

[PanzerJaeger]

Congratulations CR. I've enjoyed your contributions to the Backroom and thanks especially for Mount & Blade.

I would like to think my contributions to the Monastery have been significant. Other than that, I don't think you can count inciting general disdain and hatred as a contribution...

[Galain_Ironhide]

Firstly congrats CR, 9000 damn thats a lot.

Well I've been a member with the guild for almost 2 and a half years and although I don;t contribute a lot in other areas, in fact don't even look in most, I like to think I'm helpful as I can be in the Citadel these days.

Plus my Graphics Card just died and can't afford a new one, so I might look around and start contributing a bit more elsewhere on the .org.
