40,000 members!!!! WELCOME HELENE!

[Gamerlord]

As of now, we have 39,981 members!!!
Almost 40,000!!
CELEBRATE!

[KuReshtin]

Celebrate becaue we've ALMOST got 40k members?

Isn't that like celebrating that your birthday's in about two weeks?

[Castaras]

When there's 40,000, then we celebrate.

[charl]

The worst part of this is that the Playground 40k is coming closer and closer. It'll be OOTs in the far future, where there is only war.

AND IT WILL BE GRIMDARK!

[Gamerlord]

I didn't want to be ninjae'd...

[Flickerdart]

When we hit 40K? GRIMDARK Avatar week. Someone make a thread.

[Gamerlord]

I don't know if the guy who made my avvie is still active, so I can't participate.... :smallfrown:

[Green Bean]

Says the guy with a "Greater Good" signature.

Note to self- kill xeno sympathizer. Bring holy flamer.

[Mauve Shirt]

I don't know if the guy who made my avvie is still active, so I can't participate.... :smallfrown:

Well that doesn't mean you can't ask a different avatarist. Or PM her.

[xPANCAKEx]

I didn't want to be ninjae'd...

wow... talk about setting your sights low for achievements in life

[Gamerlord]

Well that doesn't mean you can't ask a different avatarist. Or PM him.

Kwarkpudding hasn't posted in awhile, so I doubt she would answer a PM.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Could have atleast waited till the 39.995....

Btw, Kwarkpudding is female.

[Faulty]

Celebrate becaue we've ALMOST got 40k members?

Happy almost Christmas!

I see, my bad.

[Killer Angel]

Happy almost Christmas!

Argh! So I suppose it's too late for a Happy Thanksgiving...

[loopy]

I'd be interested to see what could possibly be done to make my avatar more GRIMDARK!

[Gamerlord]

[Nameless]

Clearly the only way to celebrate 40,000 members is for all 40,000 members to play a game of Warhammer 40k.

It's a must.

Yes.

[Jokasti]

Durkonhammer 40k? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Edit: Ninja'd Namelessly!

Yes.

This strikes me as a logistics nightmare.

Also, I don't play 40K. Nameless, I need you to find me a unit that can hug. Then we shall go to WAR! =D

[Gamerlord]

He's the friggin grim reaper, he loves nightmares.

And its no nightmare, it is AWESOMESAUCE IN ITS PUREST FORM!

How about some slannesh worshipers?

[Jokasti]

C'mon guys. Make love, not Warhammer.(Yes that kind of love)

[Gamerlord]

C'mon guys. Make love, not Warhammer.(Yes that kind of love)

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :smallyuk:

WAR is more fun!

Then leave.

@Cobra: That's me. *hugs* :3

[Jokasti]

We've gotten 3 members in 4 hours (update title!0
At this rate, we'll be at 40k in.... 3 weeks! (for all you Goblins fans)

[Gamerlord]

I have an idea, we use D&D 3.5 rules, use the futuristic rules for space weapons, stat up some space ships, and have a epic battle in space that would make Sun Tzu, George Lucas, and Gene Roddenberry weep with joy.

[Gamerlord]

Title fixed.

[Jokasti]

You forgot Christopher Paolini and Hannah Montana.

[Trog]

As of now, we have 39,981 members!!!
Almost 40,000!!
CELEBRATE!

And only half of them are alts. :smallamused:

Oh. Wait. That's right. :smalleek: The first rule about alt club is you don't talk about alt club.

...

You heard nothing. :smalltongue:

[Gamerlord]

You forgot Christopher Paolini and Hannah Montana.

.........................?????

What?

Since when was Hannah Montana in a epic sci-fi battle?

[Jokasti]

Since when was she not?
Edit: apparently I'm an Orc now!

[Gamerlord]

Do you know something I don't???!!!

[Jokasti]

.........................?????

What?

Since when was Hannah Montana in a epic sci-fi battle?

She has millions of fans, all ready to create a robot army, and they can multiply. They are tweens, which means that their fangirl rush ability can only be blocked by security-fu, which none of the above have.

You were blind, and now you see.

[Gamerlord]

Thank you master, but still, we must have a epic D&D IN SPACE battle to celebrate, with every single one of the 40,000. members participating. I will DM. It will be PbP.

[Jokasti]

As my first order of business, I get Hannah Montana to chain-breed tweenies, who then rush all opposition. There is no salvation.

[Gamerlord]

Do I look like I'm kidding?

EPIC PLAY BY POST GAME MUST BE DONE!

I have the idea all ready, I, the DM, would control a massive alien fleet that invades planet earth in the year 4400, all other members would be the crew of the terran space fleet.


It will be epic.

[Cobra_Ikari]

As my first order of business, I get Hannah Montana to chain-breed tweenies, who then rush all opposition. There is no salvation.

...all I can say is that I'm glad Miley Cyrus did not star in the Twilight movies. The combination of the two...*shudders*

That they are. Less human looking, more human acting. The zerg, that is.


Sorry folks, me and Slaanesh beat you to the GRIMDARK AVATARS.

And Herman and ... where did my Wraith go?

[Rutskarn]

We need to launch a W40K week to commemorate the 40,000 member mark. I'll be a servitor, Cobra can be a Daemonette, and Player Zero can be dead.

[Gamerlord]

I'll be the annoying guy who shouts "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"!

Nah, the Space Marines are pretty cool. The exact chapter doesn't matter that much to me.

[Jokasti]

Ahem.


One Topic, One Thread
There should be, in most cases, one active thread for a specific topic. Please check and see if there is already an active thread (one that has been posted on in the last six weeks and is no further back than page 3) discussing a topic before posting a new one.
That is all.

[charl]

Then maybe we should make a new thread for the 40k avatar week?

[Gamerlord]

Yeah, but still!

ALMOST 40K DUDES AND DUDETTES!


LETS CELEBRATE HARDER THEN WALL STREET WHEN THEY HIT THE 10000!

[Mystic Muse]

D= It's not enough!

quickly! we must reach 100,000!

[Uncle Festy]

39,988. O_O
It's growing…

[Gamerlord]

Double Awesomesauce!

39,989 now.

We are multiplying.

Not anymore.

Yes. I'll have to find a good avatarist. :smalltongue:

[Gamerlord]

39,989 now.

We are legion. Resistance is futile.

[Deth Muncher]

Not anymore.



Yes. I'll have to find a good avatarist. :smalltongue:

Arokh did me and Slaanesh's avatars. Perhaps you could request some bases from him, and just change the heraldry yourself?

EDIT:

We are legion BORG. Resistance is futile. PREPARE TO BE ASSIMILATED.

Fixed it for ya. :smallcool:

[Eldrys]

Even more people. We shall soon RULE this puny world with an Iron fist.

[xanaphia]

39,994 people.

Get ready.

[charl]

Just three more now.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Two more to go...

:smallbiggrin::smallwink:

[Gamerlord]

CELEBRATE!
WOOT!

*Hands out the *Two more* hats*

[charl]

You are two users early man. Hold your horses. There will be celebrating soon enough.

So have anyone else made a celebratory 40k avatar? I know I have. I'm dying to use it too. C'mon last two users!

[Gamerlord]

I need someone to make it for me, I'm thinking of asking BRC....

[arguskos]

Honestly, if someone wants to GRIMDARK Graz'zt and Iggwilv for me, that'd be awesome. :smallamused:

I love me some 40k, and been watching this thread with interest. I wonder who all these people even ARE though...

[Gamerlord]

Check the forum statistics, it tells you who is the latest member...

[arguskos]

Yeah, I know that. I'm just wondering who all nearly 40k people are. That's... a large number of folks. :smalleek:

[Gamerlord]

Just remember over 3 billion people are in the world, and 300 million here in the land of the free* alone.

*It isn't as awesome as people make it out to be nowadays.

*It isn't as awesome as people make it out to be nowadays.
Gettin' a bit close to the politics line there buddie. :smallwink:

Anyways, you're also about half too short on the world population. Last figures I saw pegged it around the 6.5 billion mark.

Still, 40,000 people on a random gaming site is a large damn number. Makes one wonder who everyone is. Twas an idle thought, nothin' more.

Haha, 5:30 here. Though... still morning, I guess.

[Gamerlord]

Oh yeah, you're on the west coast, its 8:28 here on the lovely east coast.

[KuReshtin]

A thought just struck me as quite funny..

The countdown to 40k has been going on for a while now.
What if the PTB (Powers That Be) decided to mess with everyone a bit and randomly checking who's not been online for ages and ages and deleting their accounts altogether..
The countdown would be totally ruined.

[Gamerlord]

They wouldn't dare, there would be a uprising.

Well, gotta eat breakfast!

FRENCH TOAST!

[The Dark Fiddler]

I'm going to laugh if two people sign up at the same time so the count skips 40,000 and goes straight to 40,001.

Or better yet, 10,001 people sign up, and we skip straight to 50,000!

[Gamerlord]

That would be epically awesome.

[Setra]

Maybe the thread title should change to 'Welcome [Insert 40,000th person to join's name here]' when it happens :smalltongue:

Sheriff of Moddingham: This thread is essentially spam; I mean, it's not exactly spam in the traditional sense. But neither is there really anything to discuss. Also, it encourages rule violation. At least one poster claims to have created a second account just to reach 40k. Alternate accounts are against the Forum Rules. Please don't start counting down to every round number of posters.
