This is clearly one of the most awesome features GameSpot ever made. I can't wait until tomorrow when they might throw in some new hints. I didn't got very fast results, but at least I enjoyed it. The clues were kinda vague though, but this thing is currently beta, so let's see how well the final version will do.

Oh, and in 3 days I'm celebrating my GameSpot anniversary - 1 year of active contributing to the forums! Don't worry, I'll be preparing for something BIG! :wink:

This was requested some while ago by DanC1989, administrator of a successful UCB and a friend of mine, who was anxious to see the ranking of his UCB... Well, since he today celebrated a 30,000 posts party on OT, I decided to give him this as a gift. Voila! :)

Now, I'm a bit upset on certain users, who have lately been accusing me of things... I was accused that I'm using the Emblems Union to increase my profile views counter, I was accused of linking you guys to my blog to increase my profile views counter and that I'm misusing the members of the union to do... What? Yeah, to increase my profile views counter...

So, these are some flat out ridiculous hypothesis that would apparently justify my use of the blog in the eyes of these users. Why ridiculous? First of all, from the moment I started this new account, I clearly stated that I don't care about stats anymore. I stopped caring that I didn't get a certain emblem or that I don't level up too fast... After all, if I cared that much about stats, I would have stayed on my old account, which had really good stats. Second, I have had this habit of posting this kind of stuff on my blog for a long time, before GameSpot made all of our profile views counters public. What use is to make trunkloads of views, when only you and few admins can see?

And third, the reason why I posted both the Top 25 Union Views and Top 30 Tagger Kings in my blog instead of the "Top 25: all sorts of stuff" thread we had on our union, besides my wish of sharing these things I've made with my friends, is that there are some stupid glitches lurking the whole union system. Forget about the union level and other glitches like that, the ultimate glitch for us is that officers are sometimes unable to edit certain messages, even though they have the permission to do that. This has prevented me from helping fastesttruck when the Emblem guide was deleted by cyber-terrorists and we had to make a new thread, so he had to do it all my himself. :( But I could also posted an update on the union homepage, you might say. I had that in mind, but whatever I tried to do, I still was surpassing that character limit of the post. The situation won't be the same though in the future as fastesttruck told me how to compress big URLs...

In the end, I can't seem to find a reason why do these people mind so much my efforts of making some community resources the admins either don't have or don't want to publish... Maybe jealousy?... Mind you, I'm not a bot even though it would seem so, I have human feelings too and I also felt angry when I had to retry several times in like an hour when making the Top 30 Tagger Kings just because I was, instead switching tabs, pressing some button which automatically determined me to lose all my work until that moment... And I'm also able to sleep like any normal man, so I will go now, eat something and then switch to snooze mode... yummy-yummy... zzzzZZZZZZZzzzz...

Unfortunately, I am still ill, so I'll be staying home once again for few days, until I get rid of this disease... And now let me introduce what I guess you were waiting for...

TaDaaa!!!

So, erm, yeah... What I've done lately?

1. I have been staying home... until tomorrow. :cry: Few nights ago I felt really bad and I have been coughing ever since, so that's why...

2. A friend of mine got suspended for 3 days because of a joke he made in his 10k post party thread, which was considered offensive by somebody who reported him... :(

3. I have been accused of making a publicity stunt to get more profile views. Since a fellow user was still confused regarding this situation, I have sent him the following PM:

Once again, sorry if my attitude seemed shameless to some of you. I hope I have clarified this situation once and for all.

4. New profile image. (look in your right side, arrows don't work anymore) That guy isn't me, but my real looks aren't far from that...

5. I have met some old friends and also got some new PSP games - "Passport to Prague" and "Passport to Barcelona". :lol:

6. I am making another leaderboard, but this time on tagging. I need you to look out for people who have the Tagger King emblem. If you do, please post the names here or drop me a PM.  Tomorrow you might even see a first version of it...

Oh yeah. An OT union. It's called "Viennoiserie's Cafe Lounge" and has just (re-)opened last night. For the first two weeks, everyone (even non-members) will be able to post on our board's topics. Once the trial period expires, I'll let the good posters in the union charter. Until then, enjoy the few topics I've made...

Yes, I know, I can afford a shameless plug once in a while. :P

Last week I felt sick for few days and only have been able to go to school three days ago... Just that last night the situation got worse once again, when I thought I was going to get rid of this disease... So, another fine morning wasted on the Internet for me... By the way, check out my new banner, it's B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
