Damn, he saw it.... :disagree:

EDIT: Or more likely was waiting for me to reach it to post it. This game's officialy turned into DL waiting for us to reach a certain post count so he can put it up.

I most certainly did not make that statement. But if you think that it's the right thing to do.... :devious:

Oh,thats nice.If some of us use wikipedia in order to make sure no one has a chance to play hangman but them(theres less then 10 of us who play,and no one else on the entire forum had a guess for almost as long as the new forum started working)thats ok,but just because I have an advantage of knowing the ranks that are to come suddenly its cheating.Whats the word Im looking for here?Oh,right,hypocrisy! :disagree:

Thats a lame excuse!I just waited fo you to reach 777 and I did saw it before posting it.Besides,vlad was able to beat me,so it means it can be done.And I am not here 24 hours a day,despite what you may think.So what if wikipedia is there for all of us?When is the last time since anyone besides you,me,gaidal,corribus and lucky had a chance to guess,let alone guess it right?

And thats not hte only thing that bothers me.It seems that HodgePodge was right about cenzorship,since I like ubi,and HV rules pictures are ok if they are in someones sig.

I understand your feelings Daemian, but your advantage is too big. Maybe suspending you from the game is a good idea, but ONLY until a few more people reach your post count and until all the other special ranks up to 999 are revealed. Suspending you would mean that you can't report special ranks, and no one can report normal or special ranks that you attain. I don't know, this is just an idea...

The other side of the coin would be that if you are allowed to report the remaining special ranks, from there on you won't be able to report anything, as you can't report your own ranks. That way we'll have the advantage and start using you.

Uh, guys - why don't you step back for a second and actually take a look at what you're arguing about. If you do that, you might just be a little :embarrased: .

Hey, other people have confessed looking up words as well. Making a strict rule that one can't use wikipedia would only mean that some words will be unresolved for a long time if noone knows it.

And in this case, you're the only one that de facto has any chance at all at spotting those ranks for a long while.

I do have an idea for making it at least a little bit more fair. How about I go and post the numbers for the special ranks you've already passed? That would at least give other people some chance at catching them.

Special rank: Topless Naga Queen at 1066!


EDIT: Naga Queen, one of my fav creatures from HoMM3. It's a great catch. Thank the heavens for the back button.

I really had a hunch there was something at 1066, though I was thinking more along the lines of Norman Invasion... :tongue:

I hope the mods are going to put in those descriptions of the special ranks soon...

Pester Robenhagen about it. He compiled the list, so he knows best were everything comes from.
