Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 A thread to talk about MEMBER NUMBERS??? Somehow I never realized this was such a conversation-worthy topic. I have a young whippersnapper of a number, I guess. I wonder if it's changed since I joined. I have no idea. Does everyone have a new member number, or only some people? And if everyone has a new one, did they all change in the same way (going down, I guess?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 ___ Viii dlii is pretty obvious. -------- ___ VIII DLII is really pretty, it is a Roman numeral for 8552, my member number, which is 8552. -------- My signature's meaning from Latin to English is: "I came, I saw, I conqured. In the furthest reaches. On the spot. Among other things. An ornament and a safeguard. By labor and honor. That is. Unknown (Shards of Ravage)." The highlighted letters on my Latin signature also stands for VIII DLII -------- And the marks I leave on every post starts with a "\", it is an alternative for a bar, and the space indicates that dlii is separated from Viii -------- -\Viii dlii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Does everyone have a new member number, or only some people? And if everyone has a new one, did they all change in the same way (going down, I guess?)? It's possible that some of the very low numbers remained the some. Otherwise, most everyone has had a significant change, going down. To clarify, I'm not asking for a free for all to talk about your own PDNs. We've had plenty of those. The member number discussion was derailing Jewels' thread, so I'm trying to give it a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 1153 is i-prime, meaning it's prime according to some site on the internet. I'm voting to abandon the archaic standard of arithmetic primacy and switch to the modern i-version. It's far more convenient. So my number is as close to prime as any grown-up number can be, without being odd. (2 is obviously a little toddler number that can get away with odd behavior because it's cute.)

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 With the holiday season in full swing just post credit card numbers and available spending balances. Just remember it's better to give than to receive. With that in mind I decided to take up Kenzer and Company's offer of 100 back comic issues for $100. A friend of mine is going to find a large box from a company he didn't order from and vague has heard of waiting for him. He and his kids can fight over the contents between delivery and the holidays. He's got them on reach, but there are two of them to tag team him.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Come now, Aran. If Alorael is a member of a class of things which are all Imban, it does not necessarily follow that all things that are Imban are also Alorael.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Jewels Member Since 19 Aug 2003 Member ID: 2,264 "Original" account. Well sure, but you didn't say "original" originally, and besides, you can prove anything thats remotely true if you insist and giving evidence. C'mon. I have had several accounts over the years but I currently have just two that are unbanned and that I have the log in details for. It's probably time I made another for any potential bunburying I might want to do in the future. Edit: Yes, Excalibur.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 everytime someone mentions that we are all imban i think of this episode: Funnily enough, the meme started August 2004, before the new series even started - let alone End of Time (2009). RTD obviously ripped off that idea from Spiderweb. Come now, Aran. If Alorael is a member of a class of things which are all Imban, it does not necessarily follow that all things that are Imban are also Alorael. Your fancy notation does not change the transitive property of equality's applicability, or lack thereof. So you're considering Imban a monadic property rather than a member. Imbanity? In that case, rather than all of us being Imban, we are all Imbane. 'Lenny, Imban and Tyran used to swap accounts Imban was only spiritually involved in that transaction by virtue of both being him.
