Easy to say when you are already a legend.

I am currently jobless and collecting unemployment benefits. Perhaps this is my time to do some marathon posting.

I am seeing a trend here. Stay home and spend all your time posting on the forum. Check.

[QUOTE=Starsman;

Yes. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with Star Trek, The Federation, Hyperspace and Vulcan first contact. I cant reveal more than that. I may already had said too much.[/QUOTE]

I think this is enough information to go on. Thanks, I look forward to earning my decoder ring.

This is good intel. At least I know how to work "the system". I need to be "Chatty Angelica" and it doesn't matter if I have anything of substance to say. Check.

So can you put me in contact with one of these sweatshops? Or would that be unethical?

Yes, yes, I see that! Thank you for pointing that out to me. Actually, after I said that, I realized how silly I was being since I am fairly sure that my 200+ tally was mostly likely strictly replies to others post.

Once again truly helpful information. I will take heed.

Pretty sure if you use enough, they contact you directly, no need to search for them... As for ethics... Not one of my strengths, sorry.

3. have you been contacted via PM by a redname at least 4 times and told NOT to use personal slurs or attack a member personally?

4. has anyone actually put you on ignore becuase they simply can not stand your opinions any longer?

5. and perhaps the most important of all.. has anyone contacted you and given you your secret decoder ring and shown you the secret hand shake?


If the answer to any of these questions is no .. you are still a rookie.


LOL .. its all based on number of posts as previously mentioned. See you already had the answer but i just padded my post count by adding mine to the list. Go Hunt..... Post threads!
Hey, thanks for the tips, Wendy. I am endeavoring to reply to everyone who comments. Thus upping my count. I don't believe I have done any of the things you mention, but I will keep them all in mind.

We don't all have access to those 5 Chinese sweatshops afore mentioned, but, hey, I'm working it. it will happen. I believe.

I just want to thank everyone who responded to my question and gave helpful or even not so helpful input.

It did give me the opportunity to up my count. This may take me awhile, but I am on a mission now.

It looks like I might need 1,000 posts to become a Legend. I think this is a reasonably attainable goal.

Chat, chat, chat, achatta.

On the bright side, you only need 400 to stop being a loser... I mean rookie.

Really? 1600? Damn, that's gonna waste a lot of time, but I'm up to it.

Maybe I will reach 400 today if I really give it my all.

If we work together Angelica, anything is possible. Maybe I'll hit 400 as well.

why does your title say "I Survived PVP Bootcamp:?

Can you insert your own title?

OMG, this is too much like work. I fear I will remain a rookie for some time to come.
