CrimsonGhost6969: He [dj] is afk. I just looked in his windows.

Ryknig: I’m sorry race, but anything that your dog can do better than you isn’t a sport. [referring to me calling Ultimate Frisbee a sport]

Ketsy: There is no point in fighting with an idiot. The best case scenario is you won a fight against an idiot.

racefan12: Actually, I think they intentionally pick stupid people to be game show contestants so that they don’t have to give away as much money

Sir_Fratley: I love moses

Key_Bearer: Bleys es aburrido.
Bleys087: And key, you’re a burrito!

gatherer818: it’s kind of like naming a desk ‘Chair’. It’s not a chair, but it’s still Chair. It’s still “the NATO Phonetic Alphabet” even though it’s not a phonetic alphabet. And now I’ve learned two new things today.

Key_Bearer: How’s it going?
racefan12: Pretty good, now that the random rainstorm stopped
Key_Bearer: …Okay. Where in Texas [are you] exactly?

iGark: If [getting all badges] truly is impossible, I’ll wear a shirt for the rest of my life that says “RACEFAN12 WAS RIGHT” and has a picture of a goomba on the back.

Sir_Fratley: Anyway, yeah. He’s the opposite of a troll

Sir_Fratley: He’s a llort

camdapirate: who else here has no social life? :)

iGark: I have a social life, it’s just Kongregate exclusive.

iGark: I’m gonna kick the red bucket for tonight.
iGark: See yall later. [Said while in the chatroom ‘The Red Bucket’]

Assumptio: Worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum

theSeraph: Also, telling someone on a flash game site to stop being a geek is like sticking your head in the ocean and telling the fish to stop swimming.

moses78: i wanted to play GTA IV for about .000023 seconds. then i remembered how much it sucks.

AdeebNafees: Also, I should be quoted on your profile. I mean, everything I say is so precious, valuable and exotic.

Green_meep: It’s Not Really Inconvenient You Retard
Green_meep: ^ title of my next book
racefan12: Is that a rebuttal to An Inconvenient Truth?
Green_meep: yes, yes it is

inferno76: Frat, that is
inferno76: He links things too often
Minimalist__: More links than a Zelda conference

Chatroom Behavior Protips:

Kongregate’s swearing policy, taken from the (former) Code of Conduct and posted here for easy reference (i.e. so I can quickly c/p it into chat :P) “Mild swearing can be allowed, but it should not be directed at other users. There’s a difference between saying something like, “Damn, I suck at this game” and spewing profanity at another user in all caps, along with 7 lines’ worth of exclamation points. Extreme profanity will automatically be censored by our chat filter, though active moderators may not be as forgiving.” Pretty much tells you everything you need to know there. ;)

My (completely ignored (T.T)) plea to all the trolls out there: Seriously, stop it! What’s the point? All you accomplish by trolling is making us mad at you and getting yourself silenced and/or banned. And that’s no fun at all, neither for us nor for you. ;) Also, if you’re ever bored on Kong, don’t tell us about it—consider PLAYING A GAME instead!

And an addendum to those who always FEED THE TROLLS: "If someone is acting in an inappropriate manner, please leave the situation up to the moderators online. Please do not “fight back” or get drawn into an argument with them. If you have a hard time doing so, you can make any user’s words disappear entirely from chat by using the “mute user” link that’s found either when you hover over the person’s username in the chat list, or when you visit the person’s full profile."

Now for the Lists of 5:

5 Things About Me:

1. I am a big fan of most sports, and I’d be glad to talk about them if you want to. My favorites are NASCAR (yes, it’s a sport), basketball, football, and baseball, in that order. (Sorry to anyone who may be reading this from outside the U.S., but I’m referring to American football here; soccer is not one of the sports I follow very much.) However, the only sport I’m halfway decent at playing is Ultimate Frisbee (and yes, it is a sport :) ), which I play every Monday and Thursday from 7:30-9:00 PM (occasionally later). UPDATE: I am now on a Muggle Quidditch intramural team. We currently have practice 2 days a week (and workout days on 2 other days of the week), and we will be starting formal competition in the fall. It is incredibly fun and extremely intense: you wouldn’t believe how competitive a bunch of nerds can be :P

2. I am a college student. Not much more to say there, except that if I’m not on Kong, this probably has something to do with it. My Spring 2012 class schedule (which is thankfully relatively light): M: 6:00-8:30, T: 1:00-2:15, 5:00-6:15, W: 10:30-11:20, R: 1:00-2:15, 5:00-6:15, F: 10:30-11:20, 2:00-4:00. If I’m on Kong during one of these times, something’s most likely wrong; so please tell me.

3. My username comes from my passion for NASCAR racing and my favorite driver, Ryan Newman, who drove the #12 car until changing to the #39 for the 2009 season.

4. I like country music A LOT and you can probably find me talking about it if you’re around long enough. I also like some other stuff, including 70s/80s pop/rock (think Billy Joel and The Eagles) and 90s/early 00s alternative (Green Day, Matchbox 20). I don’t mind discussing other forms of music, but it’s very likely I’ll have no clue what song you’re talking about. (Though you can put it below on my music shout if it’s something you think I’d like to hear. I’ll tell you if I like it or not).

5. Yes, I have a Facebook account. No, I’m not giving it to you, and I’m not going to be your friend unless I know you REALLY well here. I’m just paranoid like that.

My 5 Most Wanted Badges (in no particular order):
1. Elona Shooter (hard)
2. Particles (hard)
3. Amorphous+ (hard)

5. Earn 1300 total badges (7 away)

Miscellaneous

(Note: Tourney results and FG wins are now on my alt.)

I have hosted two forum games, The Mole, won by Bluji, and Star Trek Mafia, won by the Romulan mafia group. Look for my next forum game, coming soon to a computer near you!

Some people have asked me why my profile is (still) so long. It’s because I was once in a (self-created) profile length war with a formerly active and now MIA user named Krystar—WHICH I WON!!!!!! XD

Final Note: I try to update my profile at least once a month (unless I am at home on a break from college or simply incredibly lazy), so keep checking back often. You just might find a surprise or two! ;)

And one more thing, since it seems to come up so often: Want to free yourself from The Game? Read this: www.xkcd.com/391. I don’t care what anyone says, you’ll never have to play The Game again. I haven’t played it in 3 years now!

Defender of energy systems in games since January 2010 (when Dream World came out :P)

Also a defender of “luck-based” games. Luck doesn’t play nearly as big of a role in them as everyone seems to think. A good strategy will still trump fluctuations in luck over the long run; any beliefs to the contrary are generally due to the human tendency to exaggerate negative events while overlooking positive ones.

On November 16, 2011, I became an editor for the Kongregate WhatPulse team’s blog (fittingly called KongPulse). On January 30, 2012, I took over running the semiannual H2H Cup tournaments.

Well, sorry for the long-windedness! (But hey, at least you can read it now that Kongregate FINALLY FIXED PROFILE FORMATTING :D) …and broke it, and fixed it again.
