Good heavens - I logged on today and I've just become an Exalted Member!

How did that happen? Is it the number of posts I've written or something?

No, it's because you've done 1,000 good deeds in reallife. When you've finally finished that thousandth good deed, GameBanshee celebrates that fact by upgrading your membership. You are now capable of small healing miracles, minor levitation, annoying telepathic tricks, and being able to carry on a conversation while asleep.

At the same time, forces of evil everywhere have become aware of your ascension. Your name has been added to their lists, and you will probably note an immediate increase in junkmail, viagra solicitations, and free mortgage offers. Expect to see more lawyers at your place of employment. Yes, they will be carefully but subtly observing you. However, you are safe as long as you remember a member of GameBanshee. As long as you stay within the outer ring of the most holy forum, darkness can at best chuckle at your passing and make sexist comments about your derriere. You are well and truly protected.

I trust that answers your question. Feel free to ask as many as you wish. At GameBanshee, we are never at a lack for answers, no matter how irresponsible they may sound.

You know, it's interesting you should mention that Fable, because I in fact *have* noticed this phenomena since joining Game Banshee
Ads which promote products claiming to enhance penis size, and herbal remedies that alledgedly increase one's sex drive have increased dramatically as well Maybe those rumours are true and Buck really is the earthly manifestation of a demonic, fallen angel out to corrupt us all!

Talking

I was going to say you can trust Fable since he is the most trustworthy member.

There goes that theory...

As a moderator, I am not at liberty to comment upon the speculations stated above. However, I am permitted to point out that images of Buck have been discovered on the walls of caves in France dating back to the Pleistocene Era. He is usualy displayed with an arm over the shoulders of Cthullu. Both of them are waving, and underneath is a legend in Minoan Linear B that has recently been translated as meaning "Wish You Were Here."

I can say no more.

Hmmm...I fail to see the true answer in any of these posts, so Ill go ahead and spoil their fun.

Once you hit 50 posts, you become an exalted member. Tis as simple as that.

and once you hit ten thousand posts, like certain members have done, you are admitted into Buck's shadowy inner circle..... And after that...well.... stories of secret hand shakes and strange initiation ceremonies abound.

Why was I not informed of this!

Is the shadowy inner circle a good thing or a bad thing?

Ah...because you are led in your innocence by unseen forces that insidiously direct you along the path towards zealous and unfettered spamming.. because they are just waiting and biding their limitless time... knowing that one day you *will cross* over and join their numbers...

As for it being a "good" or a "bad" thing..that entirely depends on your perspective....

Would that explain Bloodstalker's new attitude/outlook?

Indeed it might.. I also suspect it may have had something to do with Weasel's strange conversion..... (and seeming disappearance... ) as well....

Never ever under any circumstance let yourself fall into the foolish spiral that is Fables mind trickery. He will come to you at first with visions of grand intellect, throwing you left and right with words that should only be used in Lawyers contracts or lecture halls. Then it will be his age, or better yet his lack therof youth, that will front a surreal appearance of superiority. DO NOT believe his lies for he is a part of the higher society that feels nothing but pure pleasure from the draining of life from the lesser people, it is not his deed but his choice to embark on such evil actions.

The people will fight and will win, you will see one day that there be no greater race and those who farm with thier hands and those who eat all they grow will rule past those "intellects". This man "Fable" is a flag ship for the incomming misery that will be the future, it is only when the last of wars is fought will they all look around with eyes hallow as thier souls. And on that day when all eyes stare violently into the sky, cursing whom ever created them, they will know I was right and the others were wrong!

Fear not the word of change, fear not the ideal of past trusims. Reap what you sew my friend, earn your bread. Do not go into the dark night without the strength of at least one candle flicker...
