The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

While this post has nothing whatsoever to do with UQM, it has everything to do with the UQM Forums, and the people inhabiting them.

I see from my check-ups that Death_999 is one post away from breaking the millenium. While we don't count post numbers as "status" here, I still think that D_999 deserves a sepcial mention for being one of the few persons I know with postcounts that high that actually contribute in an intelligent way to every conversation he enters.

So look at this like an salutation for being smart, civil, intelligent and funny ;) Hope your seciond millenium is as much fuun as your first!


I salute Thee.







EDIT: Since I don't want to make this a long thread before D_999 gets his chance to shine, I'll comment on posts below up here, from my grand observational point:

First, Necro, he had 1 lft when i staretd this thread, otherwise I wouldn't have. Not 3, 1.

And I agree with D_J (scary huh), speech!

Go D!
You've got about 3 to go since this post, no doubt which will be filled quickly. A thousand posts...what kind of title do you attain THEN?

He has just 1 left which will probably be his speech. Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech Speech !

congrates Death_999! it woulndt be the same here with out you!

~DEFIANT

We all came here talk about a great game and to help (or at least encourage) the developers, who are giving their time and effort. But it goes beyond that -- it would have to, to occupy so much volume of information. I spend roughly twenty times as much time on this board as I do actually playing UQM. So what brings me back? A forum is as interesting as the other people in it. For me, that's you guys. Now you know why I post here so much...


EDIT: yes, this was my speech. I am not long-winded.

No speech? I am very disappointed of you... Wait, was it your speech? Oh sorry then...  ;)

lol- congratulations pal.  ;)

Oh well at least you tried! I know exactly how my speech is going to be, the 500 posts and the 1000! But this forum is about to die anyway, so 500 will be a suprise for me.

* Hands out cake

I guess Lukipela's next, assuming he can manage 35 posts more. Well, that shouldn't be too hard. :)

Oh, right! I forgot to hand out party favors!

Lukipela, here is a DOGI and a patch to reinstate the DOGI bug. Now you can ram for damage all the time!

Necro-99, here is a hair styling program to download. Hair shouldn't go up on the right side.

DJ, here is a fertile world you can implant deep children into...

Defiant, here are some raw materials for your factory. To the tune of 30,000 RU.

Novus, here is a new frungy dodecahedron -- the latest in composite materials!

Orsquall, here is a pair of danger-sensitive sunglasses, so you will know when to jump.

* As Death_999 is handing out party favours, Lukipela sneaks up behind him, and hits him over the head with a pillow.

Congrats! Now you're offically the Enlightened Pillow-Head of this forum!!  ;D

FRUNGY! FRUNGY! FRUNGY! ... I mean... Thanks! ;D

*Downloads program* Nifty. Now I can fix the eternal cowlick that plagues all Androsynth! I thank you, D999. Now Luki and I, assuming we're on good terms here, can use both programs to further our race!
Weird...thanking the race that wants to annihigl..er... you know, your entire race and the rest of the entire galaxy... D999, you are quite the deviate from your strain, or you are exceptionally good at decieving us into a fatal lull, then WHAM!

I don't trust you now... :-/

Hey! Pillow fights is my invantion! :'(

Of course we are on good terms young Padawan. I appreciate that youth is sometimes arrogant and foolish, and in my all encompassing grace and empathy, I forgive you. One day, you will soar into the sky, your vast potential flowing over, and then my young Padawan, not even the gods themselves will be able to stand against you.

Unfortunately, I shave my head so hair doesn't really concern me much.

Ah, damn.
Could I still get the 0.2 Blazer?

We'll compromise and I'll give you a 0.15 With an inbuilt Navigation for Kiddies^TM system that makes sure you don't run into anything.

I thought the point of a Blazer was that you were supposed to run into things.  :)

Shh! The student must learn for himself.

oh, and nic., your party favor is the Gamma Capsule. Now Hayata can become SUPERDUPERFABULOUSMAN.

Gamma Capsule?  Never heard of it.  Perhaps you were referring to another item (http://www.waynebrain.com/ultra/items.html)?  :)

The "student" in reference is a tactician and a bit of a warmonger, so he wouldn't want the 0.15 degrade. I prefer running into stuff.
Although MY kid-clones could use it initially...probably not a bad idea for the Baby-Blazers. I'll just learn 'em how to ram stuff once they're old enough to withstand the impact.
*hops in his cloning cylinder* See you guys in a while!

Sounds like  barrel of fun. The Synth must rerally enjoy procreating...

You should know, Luki... unless you ARE an Umgah in 'synth's clothing!  >:(


ADD: 7 to go for Luki's Tausendster Posten!

I'm just a very serious Synth, who has more important things to do then procreate. I'm working on bringing my race back from the dead after all. I'm afraid I will have to leave the procreating to you litttle one.

I wonder if the Umgah clonked you on the head as well, Luki.  :P
Last I checked, procreating = bringing new life into the world = reviving a lost race.
However, since we're identical anyway, it really doesn't matter who procreates and who does "serious stuff". I consider this work serious...

*steps out, a small version of him follows*
Welcome to the cold, harsh world, minime.

Graaaaa!

*adds new bones to pit*

yup, pretty harsh alright...


Hey, 2^10 posts as Lukipela below points out!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Brilliant my dear sir. As a side note, I see that you now have one kilo of posts, meaning we get to celebrate once again!!

*Hands out cakes.

D, I'm trying to revive my race here....
Ugh.
Where can I go to keep the evil Kohr-Ah from eating minime's?
*Hops in his Guardian, bringing his Cylinder with*
Hmmm... Ooh, this looks like a good star... Groombridge? Never been there.
*enters system*
*goes to planet 1*
ARRRGH! GIANT TALKING HEADS!!!

::Begins preparations for Lukipela's surpassing the mark...::

Maybe if I can use that Precursor Metaphasic Netting technology I found on the way to Groombridge, I can capture the head of PRIII and give it to Luki as a 1K gift.
Actually, I bet he'd kill me if I did that, so, uh....hm...
*goes looking for more artifacts*

A giant Precursor Net you say? Mayhap somethign amongst the lines of what the M:bots use in here? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~starcontrol/board/YaBB.pl?board=heavyspace;action=display;num=1067212542;start=0#0)

That should be enough fanfic to keep you folks occupied until I slip past he 1K mark without trouble.

EDIT: Sure it will. Or I might just decide to quit at this tender age, to leave D_999 as the unchallenged master of the forum :)
Yes, I'm talking to you DJ. Only from up here ;)

Next post will be here, in this thread luki, containing your speech. ;D

Tricksy Lukipela.

Hey, that whole RP thing kicks! I think I'll join it as either the Thraddash or the now displaced Arilou. Is it still pretty active? (Just edit that post again. ;))

Yikes, a_stupid_box's first post on page 2 reveals a very peculiar understanding of the politics and timeline. VERY peculiar.

Oh well...

Methinks its quite off-base. :P

Please note that luki has (as of now - nov 25 12:22 am) exactly 999 posts, which is the devil's number when viewed in reverse but more notably, just 1 less than 1000.

*catches an *NNNNGN* with his metaphasic net*
Bet Luki'll like this, if he ever hits 1k. :P

If I ever hit 1K that is. Some of us enjoy dancing on the line ;)

And I still havent come up with a good speech, so I guess its lucky I'm at 999 still. Or am I?

Heh, guess if I have released my inner mad freaking zombie poster I would have achieved 1000 posts in 5 months. But I never do it. For the good of all. :)

Congress-rats in any way.

Hay yay! I'm finally NO FOOD ANYMORE! Damn I'm good.

...

Oh wait, I'm still food.

If you wonder how NOT to be food anymore, check out this neat thread ;D (http://uqm.stack.nl/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Gendiscuss;action=display;num=1059044908;start=0#0)I think it was my first post...

So that's how they get their post amounts ... insane pillow fights containing max 2 lines. ;)

Yet this forum consists of a little amount of messages in total, I believe the thing's gonna change in some point of the future ... I also think dividing the forum into smaller sub-forums might get more things to talk about. I'll give an example since you don't understand:

There'd be a "Creative corner" for all utopists wanting a BSS or the Burvixese back in action.

I'm no food anymore. "Whee!"?
Also a "Sounds & Musics" for discussion of musics and reviews of the remixes jadda jadda jadda.

Blah blah blah flood jadda you get the pic.

Those are quality lines boy. Do not mock my pillow-foo, lest you be given a can of whoopass, pillow style.

I agree with your idea about subforums, but I wonder if it'll happen. I seem to recall reading about it at least twice before, yet so far no progress has been made on that, leading me to beleive that when UQM is finished, we might all have to migrate to the regular SC2 forums...

Oh, and my next post will be my one thousandth, so expect a speech soon ;)

EDIT: To Fsi-Dib below me: NoI'm not deleting anything. I have simply frozen my post count through a magic incantation. I feel responsible for brininging so much weight to the forum that I do not wish to overburden it with my sensless rantings, so I simply assure that balance is attained...

@Lukipela: Are you deleting your earlier posts to get your post amount stayed in 999? That's somehow ... weww-w--werid.

*feraks**!*!¤

*speech*

*applause*

*pillowfight*

Ok, I had enough! Pillow fight was created because of me! Stop taking credit over it! Grrrrrrr  >:(

*pauses with a pillow above his head*



I think that is actually the first person to mention pillows... Funny, it doesn't look like your name... But then again, I might be wrong... I seem to recall that the first thing you said about pillows was



It being said in a topic you made doesn't make it your "thing" in any way whatsoever. Just a heads up ;)

*resumes pillowfight*

I was about to mention it, but I thought you are smart enough to understand alone, oh well... Who started "how to get a better position" thread? Him or me? No comment...

Aside from the fact that you proved Lukipela's point, how can you make a comment and then say "no comment"? Madness, I say!

Madness!! Madness I tell you!

you guys are a bunch of crazy loons... =runs fast, before the pillows fly=

DEFIANT
=pillow to the face=
??? ??? ???...zzzzzz =out cold=

Maybe I can finally detonate that planetary pillow device in this fight! Muahahaha!

*wheels it in*

This time, I'll get some shielding too. Taking a nod from the Yehat, I've stuffed pillows full of their feathers. They naturally exude the shielding their feared Terminator holds, thus making me nigh invincible whilst I wear this suit!

Damn hot, too...*passes out*

Deep Jiffa may have started the thread, but the pillow was mine.

Of course at the time is was in the intrest of sexual inuendo, but that's neither here nor there.

(PS Yay! for post count pumping.!)

Yes and why you have to turn every third thread to pillow fight? lets just create one for it! ( I mean you luki).

*gently taps D_J with a pillow*

Because its healthy excersise young man! And it builds character! Now be good and eat your oatmeal, it'll make you big and enlightened like me one day. ;)

EDIT: As an afterthought, I also send a pillow flying after the ship-building factory, stricking him squarely between the shoulders. That'll teach you to sell me one of your "specials"! The darn rockets fell off before I was halfway home!

far far away in a distant thread:
Death_999: I sense a pillow fight... enter hyperspace, proceed to coordinates 106.81:375.90!
(Whatever we have as crew on these marauders): yes sir!
Death_999: and activate the stolen intruder device!
(crew-thingie): it's untested, sir!
Death_999: It will work, I know it will...

They warp in right next to Luki and immediately release two bursts of PLIED (Padded Layer of Inescapable and Extra-fluffy Down).

Death_999: Success! Now head for the planet so we can recharge!

Gaaah!! Lukipeal is shook by the impact of the two PLIED, and is sent spinning away into the dark space above. His last words can faintly be heard:

"I'll get you for this Deathy-Wan Pillowy!!!"

If'n you don' like-a da billow-a fite-in', ya coul' trow der meet-boll ensted!

[spoken with a two pound sweedish meatball in hand, grease sliding seniously down my arm and dripping off my elbow into a puddle on the ground.]

[Gueest lobs the meatball into the fray smacking D_J square in the back of the head.]

*wakes up, takes thicker layers of now sweat-soaked suit off*
Ugh...stupid Yehat feathers...how do those guys survive? Planet must be an ice cube....

*tinkers with the Planetary Pillowing Device*

Eheheheh, this whole place is going up in foam rubber pieces! Muahahaha!

*explodes*

Fun fact for all:

Meatballs aren't actually swedish, they're a turkish dish. One of the ancient warrior kings of Sweden (Karl XII maybe?) stayed in Turkey for a while during a retreat from a russian excursion, and brought quite a few "traditionally swedish" dishes with him home.

*Hits DJ with a Turkish meatball, and then with a swedish one. Do you feel the difference?*

Ok..... I had enough of these children! I quit! Kill each other with pillows! I had enough
*Grabs luki and throws him on Necro*
"ahahahahahah, Do you feel any diffrence?"
*Clean up from the meatballs and throw them with a combine F.R.I.E.D (again, Feathers Rings In Eternal Doctiral)*

*catches Luki with his Jedi mind powers, sets him down.*
The tricks you taught me come around to save you. The circle is complete.
*glares at Jiffa*
Lets get 'em.
*pulls out his Feathersaber and activates it, loud clucking and squaking heard from the blade as he positions it, ready to strike*

You used chicken feathers in your saber?  I've made mine with baby penguin down and feathers from heavily laden swallows.

*activates his feathersaber*

I'm Invincible!

I wonder why the FRIED doesn't effect anyone... Damn, it says "made in Israel". Nothing works from there! (jk, things work, but better be "made in Japan". Oh well, time to use more "primitive" weapons.
*Pulls up the boomerang-pillow and throws it on luki!*
Unforutunatly, this fights is in space, so the boomerang flys and don't come back...

Was it an English or African Swallow?
