DONK! 48 Months in CoH Today...

...and, in a blatant copy of what Dark Respite did when SHE hit the 48 month mark, I will now list my accomplishments in that time.

* I mass-deleted all my characters and rebooted them 7 times, or almost twice a year.

* I managed to somehow get one hero and one villain to 50th level and then promptly deleted them both off my account once the minimum V/EAT unlock level dropped to 20.

* I have spent nearly as much time creating/maintaining/updating spreadsheets about CoH as I have actually playing the game.

* I have allegedly caused the destruction of, or at least brought about the immediate cleaning of, a number of keyboards and/or monitors.

* I started out on the forums very shy and unwilling to put myself, my ideas or my humor (such as it is) forth for public consumption. I have managed to overcome this handicap somewhat; much to the chagrin of my many detractors.

* Despite valliant effort on my part, I have still, to this day, been unable to make a list so bad it got me perma-banned from the forums.

* I have, to date, used the "Bus Stops with no Busses" joke or variants there-of in 571 different lists.

* I was gold-plated by Avatea a year or so back. In some ways, I suppose I could consider this equivalent to a musician's album "going gold." In which case, I am not retiring until I hit platinum.

* It should be noted, however, that I have not actually RECEIVED my gold-plated claws yet. I'm sure it was just a mix up with the post office.

Like Samuraiko, I would like to point out that one of the things that kept me around the game is the great community we have here. It took me nearly 2 years to finally open my mouth around here, but when I did you all made me feel right at home and glad I bothered to start typing. The Moderators and Community Crew at NCSoft are phenomenal individuals who go beyond the norm in their efforts to make us feel like we're part of a family and not just a bunch of customers who pay a fee for the privelege of playing their game.

So, yeah, I'll be hanging around as long as Nemesis still has plots. I'll see you all in-game... mine will be the Avatar standing there staring into space and not responding because their player just thought up a great list idea that he simply HAD to get started on immediately.

Grats!

Appropriately - another list!

Four more years! Four more years!

Gratz, Steelclaw.

Here's looking forward to the next 48 months.

Grats Steelclaw!

You've done more for this community than I could even dream of and I just got my 84 month badge!

We apologize for the inconvenience. It seems we had to use a bus to ship your claws and, for some reason, it never stopped in Paragon city.

I look forward to your next 571 lists with the "bus stops with no busses" joke.

Top ten reasons the CoH Community loves Steelclaw:

10. Public Safety Announcements

9. Our underrepresented OCD player community appreciates the need to put everything in lists.

8. Beastyle uses Steelclaw lists as RP material while hanging upside down in various Pocket D instances.

7. Altoholics used to feel bad about playing so many characters...and then they heard about "The Tournament".

6. Two words: Nemesis Plot.

5. Two more words: GOLD PLATED.

4. Lists are hard yo! (Seriously...it took the entire OCR team 30 minutes to come up with this one!)

3. Steelclaw: Providing the TLDR version of the forums since 2007!

2. If you ever have a question about Excel Spreadsheets...

1. Everyone needs something to read while waiting for the bus.

Thanks everyone for the support! I fully plan on being here tormenting YOU with my lists and MYSELF with my tournament for a long time to come.

On a side note; I read some of your responses to my lady-love and she said "Tell them not to encourage you... You spend enough time on that da**ed computer as it is."

Congoratz Steelclaw!

To celebrate, here's a list...of bacon.



And here's to 48 more bacon strips months!

Congratulations! And what an appropriate way to celebrate.

Thank you very much for being who you are, Steelclaw. I always know when I see your name that I'm about to smile and/or guffaw.

Cheers!

Interesting, I was curious so I checked and I hit 48 months based on my start date on June 12, but I hit 48 months based on my paid time on August 26th. So I'm right there alongside you and Samuraiko. But rest assured, everyone else reading this. I will not be making a new post about it.

You know Steelclaw, when I think about our great community one of the first people I think about is you. And that's all I gotta say. 4 more years!

New for Steelclaw: Dr. Bronner's Pure Castille Character Manager. Delete delete! Okay! All-One spreadsheet! All-One forever! If you can talk to crowds & keep your virtue, or walk with kings & not lose that common touch! If neither loving friend nor enemy can hurt you; If all men count with you, but no one too much! 107: The intensity of man's emotions is a greater driving force & more decisive than the sum total of his education, his money, plus the size of his brain! Proof: Einstein! To dream that impossible dream! To reach that unreachable star! 'Til All-One, All-One we are! To fight that unbeatable foe! To go where the brave dare not go! To right the unrightable wrong! To love pure, chaste, from afar! To try 'til your arms are too weary! To reach that unreachable star! 'Til All-One, All-One we are! For this is my goal! To reach that unreachable star! No matter how hopeless, no matter how far! To fight for the right without question or pause, to be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause! For I know that if I follow this glorious quest, my heart will lie peaceful & calm when I'm laid to my rest! And I know that the world will be better for this, that one man, tortured, blinded, covered with scars, still strove with his last ounce of courage, to reach that unreachable star 'til united All-One we are! These are the days my friend, we know they'll never end! We'll work-sing-dance-love, marching on! All-One! All-One! All-One! 5th: "Balanced food for body-mind-soul-spirit is our medicine! Full-truth, our God! Half-truth, our enemy! Hard work our strength! Free Speech our Weapon Unity our goal! All-One our soul! Self-discipline the key to Love, uniting All-One above! So, when your fellow man you measure, take him at his best, with that lever lift him higher, overlook the rest! For we're All-One or none! Exceptions eternally? Absolute None!
...
On second thought maybe the Dr. Bronner Character Manager needs a little more debugging. Congratulations on the 48 months anyway.

I have my 75 month badge and I am not near as funny as Steelclaw nor creative as Samuraiko.

But I DO have excellent taste in the posters I enjoy!

Grats on the ding, Steelclaw!

Now, when is that bus gonna get here...
