Are you opinionated? Come and share it with the board. As long as no-one with a higher user number than you disagrees, it will henceforth become orthodoxy.

I'm 1067, and I think Marmite is great!

I am user #5 and I say: fanfic is better than realfic.

Now as long as Tycho Androgyny doesn't spot this thread, I'm safe...

08:42 / 02.04.04

I'm user 2. Only Tom can determine what is right better than I.

Bastard Tweed

08:43 / 02.04.04

So, um . . . How do I determine my user number? After all I wouldn't want to go through life without knowing how right I am.

Cat Chant

08:44 / 02.04.04

And you choose not to use your power, sleaze? You are very wise. With great power comes great... oh, fuck it.

I am still user #5 and I say that picture someone posted of Mulder and Krycek as centaurs was really nice.

Cat Chant

08:46 / 02.04.04

You are 2552, Czernobog. You are about half as right as you could be. (If you click on your username, your user number is revealed as the number after profile/ in the URL.)

Unfortunately your argument is flawed, dear. As there have been several incarnations of Barbelith, and I remember when it was all Nexus around here.

Thus far, I'm pretty sure the only person 'older' than me on this thread is Sleaze, so if he doesn't mind, *poof*, I'm turning the rest of you into Centaurs. Wearing Leeds United scarves.

If he does, of course, I'm toast.

I don't think we can call up previous universes, BiP dear - otherwise I could pull age rank on my grandmother by insisting I lived before and was Joan of Arc. Sooooo, young whippersnapper number 72, I'm number 30 and you must listen to me.

Only I can't think of an opinion worth a damn.

I am not a number!

Yes you are.

For I am the new number 2.

Hi i'm Zen, and YOU can piss off!

40%

10:39 / 02.04.04

You are 3401 and I am 1067. I therefore declare that your name is not Zen, and pissing off is in fact impossible.

I also declare that any further communications you make within this thread are prescribed the following meaning:

"I agree with whatever my superiors have already said"

How many fingers am I holding up? That's right, five.

I am number 1 and I declare that Bengali in platforms is ALSO number 2 - of equal standing in all ways to sleazenation.

Have you made her nearly seven foot tall, then? Awesome!

I second BIP's vote (BIP now being a Power in this here Verse) for counting previous versions of the board, as I too remember how Nexus my valley used to be. Oh yes.

Grey Area

11:03 / 02.04.04

I'm 1034...does this make me part of Barbelith's middle class? Am I looked down upon by the Elders, rebelled against by the young whipper-snappers, caught in the crossfire of two generations at war, with nobody paying any attention to what I say? Say it ain't so...

wembley can change in 28 days

11:08 / 02.04.04

Whoa whoa whoa... all of a sudden there are 2 2s? Am I expected to share my 4 with some raggedy three others?

Oh wait, I just argued with a 1.

invisible_al

11:17 / 02.04.04

So being number 37 I'm part of the Inner Cabal? Or just the Ascended Masters of Barelith? If so it's my right that I get a free t-shirt and one of those polystyrene planes you pop out and put together. Right now.

Unencumbered

11:26 / 02.04.04

You can have your polystyrene plane. I'm having one of these.

I am number 83 and I declare Hypercube to a be an alright film and worthy successor to Cube.

Cat Chant

14:42 / 02.04.04

your argument is flawed, dear

Damn. Just spotted the inconsistency: the first post defines rightness as being determined by lowness of user number (which as we all know just defines "how bored and obsessive you happened to be the weekend the lith last went down), but the topic abstract says it's determined by "how long you've been here".

[flutters eyelashes*] BiP, I've always been a good friend to you, haven't you? Can you declare me a number 2, too?

*but in a butch way

sleazenation

14:57 / 02.04.04

You can be a number 2 as well Deva as long as it is also in a butch way.

All of a sudden my 444 looks a bit shit.

Although in 133t speak, it would at least be a scream into the void.

15:07 / 02.04.04

I am number 512, and I declare that Ninjas are cool.

Morlock - groupie for hire

15:13 / 02.04.04

496??? since when? Damn, more right than I ever knew. But what about?

Harrison Ford, in a battle suit, wheels for feet, knives and guns

15:19 / 02.04.04

What if you've been here, lost your suit started another one and are therefore a higher number than before? Does this then mean that you used to be quite right but now you've kind of lost it & are basically full of shite & always wrong?

I'm not number 80, I'm a free man!!! (trys to imagine ways of abusing the power of the 80)

Your profile says 99, social climber.

Im 1646 and I hereby declare that... well.. that.. that im really coool, yeah! Please, let me have at least 15 minutes of "being right time"..

16:32 / 02.04.04

Now you can just FUCK off.

What's that? You agree with what's been said by your superiors? Jolly good show.

I think you may be beginning to win the victory over yourself.

gridley

16:33 / 02.04.04

I'm 962 and I believe that's the year Otto the Great revived Holy Roman Empire...

...but I could be wrong.

gridley

16:34 / 02.04.04

Would anyone with a lower number than me care to correct me on that?

40%

16:41 / 02.04.04

Deva - in principle it's supposed to be about how long you've been here. In practice....I'm not sure.

Perhaps being bored and obsessive last time the board went down warrants some kind of status. But either way, precise elitism is more fun than vague elitism.

Saint Keggers

18:16 / 02.04.04

Im alot older than my number gives me credit for. I remember running from dinosaurs, before we became the dinosaurs...
