Weekly Update for October 3rd
Green Day, new members and Quirvy reaching 5000 posts!
Random Chat
There were a bunch of posts about Green Day in random chat, after Yaya rudely woke imtimi up (remember? wake me up when september ends?) now 'SEPTEMBER IS OFFICIALLY OVA!!!!!111!!!'
This spawned many un-funny Green Day puns involving Rosabellis, me and DBX, until Yaya initiated 'OVERKILL'. Oh yeah! Also, now September is over, it's
Spoiler:
The time of beer! (Or pretzels, accordians and trumpet type things for us underagers)
Quirvy's 5000th Post
To be honest this was a bit of a fail. It wasn't legendary in any way like his 4600th post, and even Quirvy admitted that.
New Members- nebnebben and rainalonto
Last Sunday, one of my friends from school, nebnebben joined. He appears to be very keen on SMF and has already submitted four very fun levels for it. Also, on Saturday a member called Rainalonto joined. I don't know much about him yet, so I'll leave it at that.
Cedric Shows off his l33t Paint.net Skillz
On Monday, Ced created a for topic for creating smilies, and on Saturday, he created a thread for artwork. IMO, it's just a place for him to show off, but oh well.
Chatbox Inactivity
I killed the chatbox with one strike of lightning, as Krotomo put it.
Omg when you click quirvys post link i appear at the bottom of the page!
That's because you posted after him. This page is from the post's link and it redirects to the bottom of the page because the post is at the bottom of the page.
Pretty much like Guyguy did. Write one, post it somewhere (like here), and we'll use it if nobody else submits one. If so, the staff will choose the superior one and let that one be the Weekly Update.
Describe what happened this week giving each topic its own paragraph.
You're also encouraged to choose a post of the week, being not one of your own. Usually we get Livio to decide this stuff for us by figuring out which ones had the most karma, but since he's inactive right now you can just choose.
Ok, here's my attempt: If somebody else writes one, you can just take the best components and mash em together:

WEEKLY UPDATE OF OCT. 10-11TH OR SOMETHING:
...
Monotony at 1st!
Torwards the start of this week, not much happened actually. Most of it is a blur to me, but it's definitely not Oktoberfest's fault. (Seriously look around. Nothing happened)
We got Shrinkage!
By request of Guyguy, Livio made a chatbox-friendly version of the DIE smiley. I personally think the image is kinda garbage because of how small it is, the largeness made it cooler. In order to celebrate this downsizing, I shall spam it for a couple sentences.
Speaking of Garbage....
The HATKC comp results were released this week! You can see Quirvy's blunt opinions of the whopping three (YES THREE!) contestants here.
If you didn't notice, the ranking skipped 3rd place and gave "HATKC FTL" 4th because CSD's level was very bad. Quickly, three hours and eleven minutes after the results were posted, CSD claimed that he messed up his entry, and exactly six hours and six minutes later, CSD fixed the level. After nearly a half day, full of some fierce debating from Jell (you may wish to remove my permissions from the judging boards (again)), it was decided that he could move up to 3rd place. Unfortunately, this shift gave CSD 21 fourth place trophies and 1 third place trophy. Arguably making him one of the most consistently mediocre level makers of all time (for 18 minutes, at least)
Those silly kids!
In the middle of the week, Soccerboy declared his passion for hockey, instead of soccer, thus changing his name to Hockeyboy(random string of numbers). Probably due to his raging hormones, (I don't know his age), this love was short lasting, and you'll now see him as the regular Soccerboy13542.
No spam accounts were made this week for some reason, maybe whoever was making them died of an infectious disease or something...
Also, the members Guyguy, Rainalonto and Nebnebben, Evil534 and Greenworld have been engaging in a "I'm gonna be an immature shmuck and see how much I can lower my friends karma" battle. It was getting annoying, but I think Isa has brought an end to it. For now....
Levels
Krotomo and Soccerboy made some Smf levels. Krotomo's was a continuation of his own Smf Levels set, it was pretty cool. Soccerboy surrogatishly posted a level that his friend made, and it was met with less then desirable ratings. On the other hand, he also made a hold-right Smf DDA (acronyms up the wazoo) which was kinda cool except for the "running into walls until a platform moves you trick" that was used a lot.
Some of our newer members, mainly the ones mentioned early, have made some some decent Smf and Hatpc levels throughout the week, getting a feel of both games.
Cedric_09_ made a sequel to a Hatpc level of his I don't even remember. People enjoyed it, but it didn't really have any traps (there maybe be another sequel though!)
And about yesterday, people realized that the 1st trap of Dando's acclaimed level, There And Back Again, has been made slightly harder, thus resulting in some frustration.
Blogs
Silver made her 1st Interguild-Related comic this week, taking on a significantly different animation style than Goldfun (G4). I'm not sure if today counts in a weekly update, so if not, this is a preview to next weeks! To read next week's in full, please send your credit card number to my Neopets account, please.
In Krotomo's attempt to release a silient version of his walkthrough, something happened. The X Files Bunch or the Fringe Division were too expensive to call in, so we're having Jell look into it. It has resulted in conspiracies from cryogenicallly frozen spam accounts buried beneath Catplanet, to Dando52, supreme ruler of the Interguild, simply whispering an unknown order into Quirvy's ear.
10/10/10!
Today is October 10th, 2010 (even in Europe). Go out and do something 10 related, and you'll probably succeed.
COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please.
Give me +karma. Give me +karma.
