I took over a year 'out' of the forums. I got a job, made great friends and sorted out my education. But on my return there was still a healthy dozen-or-so who remembered me, if not the same remarkable moments that our memories shared. I think there are a core group of N-Ers who will forever be cyclical to these boards. In my mind, no matter what happens in my life I'll be able to return here and be remembered. But what is most likely is that it will be I who is here to do the remembering. It doesn't bother me yet. As I said, people here are friends to me. Even when I appear harsh I only do so because I know they won't immediately scoff and turn their backs on me. I have a fair amount of leeway here. I do love it, most verily Friends here do come and go, but the source stays the same. Petty thanks and personal messages do well to pass my time.

Well by default I can offer no information, myself. If there's a logic to the killings then a protector, if there is one, may be of serice... But then me saying this may affect it! I have no targets nor any information. Red... something! Standing by.

haha 9-bed places cannot be that easy to come by! Where are you uni-ing? I always forget these things. I knew a guy in leeds who lived in a 12-bed house... Parties there were mad BUT... politics rife and rampant. But I'm sure that'll suit you I've lived with 3 people and 6 people, and I'm definitely the sort of person who does better in smaller numbers (though the other 2/5 people may disagree). Living with 9 people, to me, is a refusal to let go of halls experience and to take the chance and grow up a bit. You're allowing for the chance to be PISSED OFF when you want to concentrate in peace to do your vital essay, yet there are 8 other people who have no deadline for ages and just want to party! TOO MANY FACTORS. And, frankly, unless it was a mansion I'd be unhappy paying that sort of money for what is essentially your room plus a shared loo/kitchen/lounge. You should have to pay less for the shared stuff the more people there are, because mess/hygeine just gets worse each person you add to the list.

Ah, sorry dude, no screenshots or anything. Just thought I'd say that it always saddens me when threads of nostalgia are made and I realise how much I've forgotten. The good news is that vbulletin 4.0 has some nifty hacks/mods which allow the ability to 'like' a thread, which could lead to a hall of fame, or at the least help with ~Of The Year awards. Unfortunately we're on 3.8 and I can't find anything similar to help. But essentually most 'LOLO' movements on the forums, from a mod POV, have been a bit of a sigh. But I'll take this moment to say that these forums and all their incarnations have been a part of my life since I was barely a teen. Even now, my daily routine demands N-E for breakfast and as a nightcap. I care for this place to a ridiculous amount, and without the so-called 'friends' I have on here I'd definitely be a lot more depressed, if not dead. Each 'epic' thread I've been around for has been another reason to sigh, because even though they're fun to experience they're generally incompatable with intelligence. I love this place because of the people that are here, for the honesty and the efforts that people put into it. I constantly want to try and better it, and I hate to be pompous about it but a lot of what I do/did is not recorded in any log or anything (the same is said for all mods and admis) -- it is just something that, with scraps of my heart, I'm just glad to do. I mean ffs we've seen relationships form, we've seen children born! We've seen the opposites to these and we've seen more, and more. I'm honoured to have met more than 50 people who frequent on these boards and I can gladly say that not one of them has been a disappointment - not one of them a douche or a cunt or a dickhead. But then I never met rokhed. The strangest thing for me is the fact that I don't give a shit about nintendo. When I converse with my RL friends about what I've been up to and I have to try and explain mafia games or the BISH it fucking sucksTo add to that; much of what I talk about to friends stems from the discussions I have here. "I have a friend who argues that..." is a frequent starter for me -- That is, I consider people here geniune friends and also, regardless of whether I've taken part in the discussion, I consider their opinions worthy of future debate. Sometimes I wonder if it's somewhat unhealthy. I have RL friends, but they've dwindled since I moved back to brighton. In every event N-E has been my stability. People here know me more than people IRL do. It is the select few who are allowed to crossover. Saying that, these forums dictated a large and important part of my life - my furore in sheffield was entirely (except for one tiny bit :P) due to shorty. As if i'd go to uni because this dude I know online but never met said I was good at english so may as well give his course a go? Fucking hell. Insanity maximus. I've worked for the main site, I've made images, posted news stories. I've been a mod, nod, admin, badmin and a secret identity. It both pisses me off and makes me unbelievably proud to be associated with these forums, to the extent where it is ridiculous and totally a barrier for girlz. My current girlfriend is fairly understanding... But I don't think she quite gets it. I dread to think how I'll be in 20 years time. My kids will be posting in here, and people will still be making threads about religion/politics/nostalgia/football. Fucking hell. Can it last that long? This place grew up with me. I refuse to let it go. I've considered tattoos to memorise it several times... but the logo sucks. BIGDEEPBREATHTHENSIIIIIIIIIGH

/nando/'s added! I must stress that I can only really allow newbs to join for a week, max, as it's grossly unfair to those who condemned their fait a lot earlier :P

Isn't that the best? Love it. Yeah, sorry peeps. "The Past" is a tricky BISH that will need some thought. I have a few ideas, just need to get the props!!

Seems to be quite a few daypowers around. And smeagol; wicket. Duh. (but I do love the ewoks) Frankly I've felt quite exterior to this game. We have seemingly everyone accounted for in the write-up. If everyone simply lists their roles and targets for all nights then we'll easily pin the mafia. I'm fairly sure there's at least one mafia left, not sure if there's a neutral as well. Shouldn't be too hard to figure it out. Frankly I've felt quite exterior to this game. We have seemingly everyone accounted for in the write-up.

ERDGE!!!! Same girl only exists on my facebook for the boobs (which never happen). Her next post was, seriously, "wat did u say lol? x"

I was "dragged to safety" after a friend put a full can of deodorant on a bonfire during uni. No explosions elsewise to think of. Hope you're alright Serebii - no severe burns, at least.

Dan's in telesales now :P BRING BRING! YOU BUY MY SHIT? Or maybe that's just how he talks to me. But seriously - nice one dan two-ticks? The best thing today, for me, was discovering probably the best pub quiz in town. great fun, and while there stumbled into a friend on an ernemy team that was effectively 1st throughout. Lots of good banter throughout!

This thread is for discussions around the BISH and how it operates. If you aren't sure about the validity of someone else's BISH, or if you think there's a room for interpretation due to semantics, or if you think that it is worth debating over what constitutes a book, then please use this thread to sum up your points on the matter and reach a conclusion of sorts! I'm sure this thread won't be all too busy, I'd just rather have it so that when I see a new post in the BISH thread, it's more likely to be BISHes!

Awesome stuff guys the emoticon idea was a genius move (dyson's I believe -- but I've not checked!) n64 being "the past" is my only worry. If everyone is cool with it then I'll accept - just anyone with 5 consoles is likely to tick that box too so I'd rather it was something else. But that may just be me being a dick judge. I've had my dad, my girlfriend, her best mate and her friend take bishes of me tonight so I am relying on a lot of people to upload stuff. I must say that the drink between 11 and 13% has been annoying, initially I had a bottle of wine for 13% then at the pub there was one for 12% - but neither number came out clearly.

You damn midget chewies are the jar-jars of the 70's. I want to hate you BUT YOU'RE SO HUGGABLE

Had my first 'back to work' session. All obv. stuff. Was interesting to see other people doling it up. One labourer pissed off with the system - contractors tend not to care about CVs or how good your telephone manner is. It's all word-of-mouth for him, he said. Harshness. Volunteering is the way forwards!

Wait your dad lives in worthing?! That's just down the road (ok like 15 miles away)! Weird. Another reason not to go there now, I suppose.

Some group interviews are almost training sessions to save on time later. Doesn't mean they'll actually hire everyone

The last two bits of your recipe were precisely what I was going to do. Lols. Backwards coat looks like a dress! Got abooot 100ptsworth today. Waiting for them to be uploaded for me. JUST REALISED my laptop has a built-in webcam. Will attempt to FIGURE IT OUT omfgsocool. Fire (10) Wind (10, if you guys think it's worthy) Anger (10) :P (20) Pretty much all I can do sitting here. Besides "sleepless", "Proof that god exists", "Hate to love it", "unusual tramp" and "love potion" which I can obv. do with my face alone, but I figured I ought to be more inventive with those...

Yeah melee weapons are probably the best in the game! Gotta be careful about the range though. Been fucked over many a time by being too close with some or too far away with others.

O_o So much for that rigid 24-hour limit. If Maddog was so enraged about having to post his writeup four hours later than he wanted, just imagine how mad he'll be this time!

Alright, all good to me. Paj had his chance and people are cool with it I'll open it!

O_W yeah it's that one. Went to a collection office rather than a post office today, and may not have the time to find out the stuff today but I certainly will do so tomorrow.

No - but them not having written it yet is no reason to skip them. It's totally possible to write it as the sign-ups occur. No you haven't done anything to me ReZ I just think that if we're going to have a queue system, we should do it British and Proper, like. I'm sure they'll let you go if you ask them. Dyson's fairly busy these days, so really you just gotta ask paj and danny, and I'm sure they'll let you go ahead -- but if you don't ask then it's just rude. If you've already asked then I apologise and I'll unlock it immediately.

There's always a rush before xmas to find a place, but genuinely there are good places left for ages. I think me and shorty got our flat in march or something. Prices lower, too. The main rush is for people fighting over who to live with. I didn't have that problem

Locking this 'til you've got permission from diageo/dyson and those above you in the queue. It may only be signups, but it's fair.

Ask those above you in the queue directly, it's only courtesy.
