Title: Dumb noob questions
Post by: Institutional Control on September 28, 2012, 09:48:32 AM
As a noob, I occasionally get confused with the many acronyms and other "inside" stuff used around here. I'm going to use this thread to ask dumb questions, please feel free to answer or mock me. Either is fine.

tia (thanks in advance)

Immaculate1 was my first attempt, it crashed and burned, so I took a break and started again with a new name "Capricorn" by Thirty Second to Mars style. Still love me guys. :D

i don't think so. i always wanted some kind of medallion like thing that they have on gpc to show how long you've been here etc. kind of just to mock them. we never did it.

i've always thought that the medallion thing at gpc is how they keep people. once you have 126 months by your name or whatever it's like some kind of hard core badge and you're damn sure going to pay another $100/year to keep it. god forbid you quit for six months and then decide to rejoin and everybody thinks you are some kind of "newb". lol amirite.

FTR, as trivial as it may seen, I think getting special recognition for paking, posting, donating, winning cassy's, etc would entice people do more of what I listed, be better at it, and so on. Everyone wants love.

Well maybe I didn't use it correctly.  Can I PI someone that's not even on the board, like in a real life scenario?  As in

Emo EMAW offered a guy a free shot, he declined, so I yelled and screamed (aka PI'd) at him?
Title: Re: Dumb noob questions
Post by: SdK on October 01, 2012, 06:44:29 PM
Yes. Usually stated as PI-ing someone in real life.

Yes, we used to modify the term as applicable, but like EMAW, PI isn't really an acronym anymore.  You can PI in any scenario.
