[OT] How to fit in on ENWorld

1) Hit hong with a stick.
2) Hit on Dragongirl.
3) Post to very long threads about nothing.
4) Join in at least one very excited thread before it gets shut down.
5) Praise moderators with beer.
6) Hit hong with a stick again.
7) Read story hours!
8) Become a part of the hivemind (oh...wait...you already have...)
9) Understand all the references on this thread.
10) Know the difference between Horacio and Horatio.

Anyone think of any more?

Actually I fail on all three of those! Shocking! I must rectify that!

Edit: Removed an answer to one of the questions

Lol yes, the highest on the boards. Currently 9212. There is a pool going about what happens when he reaches 10,000. Some say it will be the end of the world, or at least of the boards.

Now you just have to defend Morrus and/or ENWorld and find out what Wicht can do.

I say when he reaches 10,000 he will be able to choose epic posting feats.

Hang on a minute, I remember reading about this somewhere...is it Wicht that <i>did something that is an answer to the questions</i>?

Edit: Removed the answer to one of the questions.

Wooo!

...and I think Morrus does a great job, and shouldn't be criticised...

But that might not count, unless I say it to someone who is actually complaining at the time...

This sounds like the beginnings of a prestige class to me!

I fear I fail in a few of those...

Quote:
1) Hit hong with a stick.
Not done...

Quote:
2) Hit on Dragongirl.
Not done... I think?

Quote:
3) Post to very long threads about nothing.
4) Join in at least one very excited thread before it gets shut down.
Done ... in a way.

Quote:
5) Praise moderators with beer.
Err... beer to the moderators! (did I pass?)

Quote:
6) Hit hong with a stick again.
Still not done....

Quote:
7) Read story hours!
Wyre! Daybreak! Savannah Knights!

Quote:
8) Become a part of the hivemind (oh...wait...you already have...)
I'm independent!

Quote:
9) Understand all the references on this thread.
There's I don't think I know...

Quote:
10) Know the difference between Horacio and Horatio.
Yep.

Quote:
11) Defend Morrus/ENWorld at least once from whiners.
12) Comment on Crothian's post count.
13) Know about Wicht's secret weapon.
All done.

Quote:
14) Know who the resident Scared Lands expert is.
15) Know what BADD and GAG are, and maybe BADA.
All known


What does that make me?

I think you score 8.5 out of 15...try harder!

Although you ARE a member of the hivemind, you just haven't been informed...

Hitting hong with a stick is easy...hitting on Dragongirl is dangerous...praising moderators has to be done in a proper thread...

Hmm...when you have passed the 15 challenges you gain access to the all new Prestige Class:

<b>Poster of the Inner Circle</b>

which I am creating now...

I can't wait to see it!! Though we may need more questions on the test, a round 20 would be good.

Yes...and we need to take the explanations of some of the answers off this thread too! Hmmm...more questions...suggestions? What about a minimum post count requirement?

16. Must have started at least ten threads across all forums.
17. Must have a post count of at least 350.

OOO! Of course. Couldn't forget that.

19) Must know where the Meta thread is, have posted on it, and been on a thread that was affected by a moderator.
