I would love it if a thread showed who all posted in it. That would make it so easy. >: I'm worried about missing out on people and them not even being in the drawing when it happens, which is why I have it user based so that there's no bias or anything. As in it wouldn't all be on me to make sure each person who posted in here gets their name put in, cause it's a lot to keep up with.

You mean the feature hidden behind this non-obvious link?

Anyhow, I was playing splatoon ranked. For some reason I seem to keep losing my A rank, but I've been able to get it back, so that's kind of nice. Maybe one day I will get to A+. According to mathematics, there's a quirk of the ranking system that inflates the ranks, so I've got that going for me. I usually check if anyone on my friends list is playing before I jump in ranked, so if anyone wants to get carried by play turf wars with me, there's a real possibility for that to happen. That would also give me a playground to learn new weapons, so that's actually pretty nice.

Think I might have gotten one, so thanks for that.

Uggggh, I want to ask my friend's mom if we can go pick up my Xbox so me and my friend can play Skyrim and other stuff, but she'll probably say no.

You would have lol, since you're on my pal pad XD

Also just had to take one of my gerbils to the vets. Bleeding around his tummy gland. He's had an antibiotic injection, bleeding seems to have stopped for now. Have to take him back tomorrow. Hope he'll be ok tonight. My other gerbil snuggled him when i put him back in the cage when home.

Huh. I did not know that was there. Of course, I rarely go into the main forums anyway. I just click the links on the GPX page, and it delivers me to where I need to be. Well, when I don't have the window still open from the last time, anyway.

[Running On Ice]

It's Vande's sky gifting time~! Good luck to anyone who gets one!

I'm pretty sure I have gotten one of yours. Thanks

I hatched a 158-IV Eevee for the Poke Hunt, so that's out of the way and I can shift focus back to the SWSH. I might finally start catching up on DotW if I don't decide to do all the normal explorations I can do again.

About the affinities: Yes, I would prefer if affinities should just apply to trinkets and the SWSH. The whole affinity thing was made for the trinket feature first, if I remember correctly.

HAH!
This was the kind of post that I was hoping would happen. Someone would know about something that I didn't and yeah. Great find! Thank you!

I think that with this I'll get rid of nominations going forward if that's alright with everyone. No need to worry about sending in any PMs and just keeping everything in here! ^^

Oh nooo! I'm sorry. I hope he gets better! What happened? ):
That's cute of your other gerbil to do that. ;-;

By "going forward", does that include this month, or will it start in August? Just for clarification purposes.

[Vibrancy]

Oh, seeing the 'who posted in the forum' thing is awesome. Except now I see I've only done 26 posts this month, how depressing. XD I definitely haven't been chatting enough this month. June was 39. Have to step up my game!

The only shows I watch that aren't anime are... Orange is the New Black (but I haven't seen season 3) and like, terrible TLC/Food Network shows. I like Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen a lot, Restaurant Impossible, those kind of things.

Today has been pretty boring, but I did read the fourth trade paperback of Saga and the first manga volume of Black Lagoon. I've seen the anime, but I went to Barnes and Noble last night to buy the Durarara!! light novel, and bought one and two of that, too. XD They had a buy two get the third free deal, so~

I'm going to use that for this month, but still accept any nominations for this month, so that those that have been sent will still be used. (: Starting next month there will be no more nominations. ^^

I'm thinking how I want to do this. Maybe every ten posts = 1 entry into the drawing after the first 19, so that the first digit of the number is how many entries you have.

Posts 1 - 19 = 1 entry
Posts 20 - 29 = 2 entries

So as of right now, if you click on it, you'd have 11 entries for all those posts. Dang, good job on that too, by the way! O:

Does this seem fair to everyone? That way it's based on activity in this thread? That does make me worried about more posts that have little to no content, but hopefully I won't have to get after too many users. ^^ Everyone be good.

[Nemu]

I think it might temp increase spamming from a few users, even without people realizing they are doing it but overall everything should even out and it be okay, @Jen?

[Vibrancy]

That seems pretty fair to me! Most of the time people are good about posting relevant content and don't just spam, and I'm sure some people who frequent the thread would notice and could point it out if people were trying to just get their post count up.

[Luneon]

@Nemu, Jen, and everyone else discussing the new "winners' system"

Only more reasons to participate in this, right?
I think it will definitely be a good idea,
due to it possibly being hard for people to PM higher ups or making a decision between all these awesome users in here

It's unfortunate for those who cannot participate much, but no matter what we do, there can only be 2 or 3 people doing the mon choosing.
And since it ain't about winning but about having fun.....
Definitely a good idea. Even users who don't post here have a chance of winning a mon. So yeah! All good. (I think?)

As long as people abide the rules, I think it'll be fine. May have to start posting more in that case
Obviously next month and not this month so :P

I've only been watching orange is the new black and pokemon black and white, so I'll need to find something else to watch soon.

[Lord Raven]

You should watch the hit shows White is the new Black and Orange is the new White.

[The Majestic Mr ...]

You should watch the hit shows White is the new Black and Orange is the new White.

What about Pokemon Orange and Black? :V

[Doom Hunter]

*plops*

Another 9 hour shift. Ow...:c

AND I have my second job tomorrow. No rest for these dogs! :C Well, at least until Friday.

[Judool]

the only shows im really watching this summer are jojo's bizarre adventure and a little bit of steven universe. i forgot where i left off on the former but im getting into stardust crusaders now which is really good.

[Running On Ice]

Seems fair to me, as long as there's no spamming involved. It looks like I would need to be more engaging on here though.

[Myou]

Bleh... came back from training to get yelled at because of something my dad did... joys of being the family mediator.

As for the voting system, it sounds good to me. Hopefully, no one will get too crazy with their posts

So. New rule: If you continuously post with little to no content to get your post count up, you will render yourself ineligible to win in the current month.

I don't know how you would actually keep TRACK of that, but...

I SHOULD be watching Beauty & the Beast and True Detective. But I normally watch the shows as I burn them to DVD. And since I CAN'T currently burn them, due to an evil DVD Recorder not wanting to format new discs, I haven't watched them lately. In fact, I haven't even seen an episode of True Detective this season.

And also? I currently have a 149 IV Metagross in the running. Do you think that will be enough for Rank 1, or should I keep looking?

[Cajun]

Scholarship finally applied so Cajun doesn't have to run around like a headless chicken looking for a few grand this month after all.

And nominations changed to participation eh? Might have to start posting again instead of lurking :P
