Larry Pestilence III 6 Posted March 2, 2005 Ok. Here's a thread to discuss, amongst other elitist topics, the number of posts applicable to the various levels of DL contributeur. My insider source has revealed the thresholds as they stand at the moment: Morbid interest 0 Undertaker 4 Hatchet Man 7 Assassin 10 Sniper 50 Executioner 100 To get the ball rolling, I suggest the following re-classification: Morbid interest 0 Undertaker 5 Hatchet Man 10 Assassin 25 Sniper 50 Executioner 100 plus addition of the following: Dr. Shipman* (approx.) 250 Devil's Spawn 500 Death Incarnate 1000 LP3 * Nice one Rude Kid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IYG Posted March 2, 2005 I had to look up the Dr. Shipman even though the name rang a bell. Very good one. I'd say a good classification will be: Horseman of the Apocalypse but there is already a member with a similar name. How about Grim Fandango? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mortician 2 Posted March 3, 2005 Surely we can give thanks to the great Psychotic Bastards of History. How about more grades up the process named after great (as in volume of victims rather than humanitarian value) dictators: Shipman: 200 Historically Nutty Pol (Pot): 300 Culturally Revolted (Mao): 350 Uncle Joe (Stalin): 400 Der Furious Fuhrer (Hitler): 500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IYG Posted March 3, 2005 Der Furious Fuhrer (Hitler): 500 Actually that number should be 6,000,000+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Our Sole 5 Posted March 3, 2005 Surely we can give thanks to the great Psychotic Bastards of History.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted March 7, 2005 How about: Impaler Disemboweller Weatherman Kissinger Dr. Crippen Pontius Pilate Schwarzenegger Lucretia Borgia or even: Milk Snatcher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_fan 42 Posted May 11, 2005 Ok. Here's a thread to discuss, amongst other elitist topics, the number of posts applicable to the various levels of DL contributeur. My insider source has revealed the thresholds as they stand at the moment: Morbid interest 0 Undertaker 4 Hatchet Man 7 Assassin 10 Sniper 50 Executioner 100 Now that a change in posting classifications has been implemented, what are the new thresholds and posting classifications for DL members?

Guest IYG Posted May 11, 2005 Wow, I didn't even notice the change. Do I win some kind of award now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Slave to the Grave Posted May 11, 2005 I don't know, you go away for a couple of weeks..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry Pestilence III 6 Posted May 17, 2005 Or months. Lots of tea consumed in the intervening period, mind you... Stayin' Alive will be pleased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted May 17, 2005 Stayin' Alive will be pleased. He would be. If anyone could find him to tell him. Good to see you again LP3, we were worried. You wouldn't happen to have seen Amanda anywhere would you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slave to the Grave 26 Posted May 17, 2005 Hello Larry, I had assumed that you had taken Stayin' Alive's advice and put the kettle on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josco 49 Posted May 18, 2005 LP3, you old dog, where have you been? Anywhere exciting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Living Dead Girl 0 Posted May 18, 2005 I am NOT a pointless ranter... I much prefer 'Morbid Interest'. I felt quite insulted after my first post, which in my opinion was quite informative. Now I feel obliged to pointlessly rant so I have more posts under my belt and can therefore progress. Shhh... Edited to say: Woohoo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted May 18, 2005 Lots of tea consumed in the intervening period, mind you... Stayin' Alive will be pleased. You obviously got the ransom payment then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry Pestilence III 6 Posted May 20, 2005 LP3, you old dog, where have you been? Anywhere exciting? Looking after newbie LP4 Plus got a bit tired of teutonic/religious rants. Plus the number of posts per day started to get impossible to keep track of. So who else has disappeared? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted May 20, 2005 Well mainly the sorely-missed Amanda but also Weatherman and his various clones who haven't been seen for a couple of days (perhaps the mods have been less inert than I gave them discredit for) and Mattd007 who was only really interested in abusing Weatherman anyway. Otherwise, apart from the continuing absence of Stats and Pixie Boots and that other loveable double act Terminator and One Man Jury, everything is much as it was before your much-discussed mystery disappearance. Josco and I (or "me and Josco" if that is more to your taste) are still at loggerheads about irrelevant grammatical niceties, whilst neither has yet predicted a death, accurately or otherwise in spite of continuing to be the two most prolific posters. Hope that answers your question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josco 49 Posted May 20, 2005 LP3, you old dog, where have you been? Anywhere exciting? Looking after newbie LP4 LP4? Congratulations. Is this the first or you an old hand at the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted May 20, 2005 LP4? Congratulations. Ditto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry Pestilence III 6 Posted May 20, 2005 LP4? Congratulations. Is this the first or you an old hand at the game? The first of the next LP generation. Unaccustomed to birth. Death more my thing in an apocalypic sort of way. Ask St. John... Notaspud: thanks for the summary. HCW: As I'm sure you've seen, Stayin' popped up on the disappearance thread yesterday. LP3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted May 20, 2005 HCW: As I'm sure you've seen, Stayin' popped up on the disappearance thread yesterday. Yeah, I saw that. At least the 50p I put into the whip round for his ransom demand obviously helped free him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted May 20, 2005 Sorry that I omitted it before LP3, heartiest congratulations on the arrival of LP4! (PS: Is LP7 also one of yours?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
