Driving Poll: How do you navigate? Are you a "turn, right, turn left" or "turn east, turn north" type of driver? - TWuGbacca Dec 16, 12:14 26
- Right/left. Though I can do N/S in certain places. My area is a bit winding and round-about to do it often though. And I like landmarks. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 16, 12:36 1
  - Yup, we're good with N/S in the neighborhood but outside of that the roads get curvy in the foothills. -- nm - Meg Dec 16, 12:38
- Both. Usually NSEW if I'm starting from a major interstate. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 16, 12:32
- Left/Right. If you don't have something to indicate what direction you're facing/driving, like mountains, how would you know? -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 12:32 2
  - Well, I assume you started from somewhere and that that point is a place you know enough to be able to point north. - TWuGbacca Dec 16, 12:38 1
    - I can use the Ocean here to figure out where I am and which way I'm facing, but I'd still give directions by right/left. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 12:41
- a combination. - b. Dec 16, 12:28
- Usually, right/left but I'm fine with NESW if I'm in the city. In cities I'm not familiar with or places with winding roads those kinds of directions - pmb Dec 16, 12:28
- second star to the right, then straight on 'till morning -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 16, 12:24
- NESW always. My wife can't stand it -- nm - UliC Qel Droma Dec 16, 12:22
- The later except when highways are involved. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 12:19 1
  - or streets. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 12:33
- people who navigate by compass need to be dropped in the wild and chased by Meg for her amusement. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:18 1
  - You basically saying you're a chick -- nm - UliC Qel Droma Dec 16, 12:46
- Depends on whether the road is a highway and would have cardinals easily posted. -- nm - iSpam Dec 16, 12:16 1
  - cardinals are so pretty -- nm - decline Dec 16, 12:18
- left/right -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 12:16
- "go down that way for a bit, then turn right at the old tree and follow that road, what's it called? for awhile" -- nm - decline Dec 16, 12:16
- Have you seen a road map of Victoria? Cardinal directions are utterly meaningless. -- nm - Be Be 8 Dec 16, 12:15
- by fast food restaurants - turn at the dairy queen, then go down a few blocks turn next to taco bell -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 12:15 5
  - This. Or lacking those, landmarks. "Turn Right at the Big Yellow house with the horrible holiday decorations." -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 12:31
  - I navigate by bar. I know almost no street names. "two streets before the red horse," "one block up from the bar that used to be stadium west," etc. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 12:20 3
    - yup -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 12:24 2
      - a coworker, to me, just now: I live in oak grove. me: huh? charlie: it's like a mile past happy valley brewing company. me: oh, ok. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 12:49 1

ST Poll: Did you short or long BLAIR? - Jovian Dec 16, 12:03 61
- Long, my first big adjust. ...up -- nm - General Zeit Dec 16, 12:58
- don't think I was playing then. -- nm - R2-Deev2 Dec 16, 12:32
- Longed. Can't remember how cheap I had bought it for (yes, yes PPDM), but it was my highest percentage increase ever. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 12:30
- If I had it it was either radar or a couple hundred short. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 16, 12:24
- there was something else I shorted, a lot of us did, that was another milestone for bad - "I shorted.... so what do I know?" *brain squint* -- nm - b. Dec 16, 12:20 2
  - I checked the wiki; BLAIR is the one mentioned on the Phrases page. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 12:31 1
    - thanks - yah, that was common; but, as said, before I started. -- nm - b. Dec 16, 12:33
- Long. I had bought it at like $.05 or $.50, iirc -- nm - JaxSean Dec 16, 12:17 2
  - yeah, i remember buying it super cheap as soon as the news from Sundance (?) about it hit. - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 12:19
  - PPDM (nmby) - ML Dec 16, 12:17
- long all the way, as I saw the sneak. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 12:11 1
  - ditto. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:14
- I shorted BLAIR and PASON, iirc. I think that must be why I stopped playing openers. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 12:11
- I was long on it post adjust but was not certain... - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:09 14
  - you were playing then? I remember thinking we started around the same time in 1999. -- nm - b. Dec 16, 12:15 13
    - that's me. Maybe I wasn't playing then. I remember the debates...I think. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:32 12
      - you also had profiler99, I think? that was 9/30. - b. Dec 16, 12:34 11
        
        dariusx should be the earlier profile, I think. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:39 1
        
        hee. I wish I could! *taps head* so much trivia, so little of it useful. -- nm - b. Dec 16, 12:41
        
        We're going to enter a period where it will be 20-year anniversaries for a bunch of us on here. I know I was playing by summer of '98, but can't... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 12:37 8
        
        May 3, 1997 for me. So almost 19 years, which seems unpossible. -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 16, 12:39
        
        it tells you on your profile page now. -- (link) - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 12:38 1

        I started 7 days after you. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 12:42
        
        Sort of. For some reason the oldest date they will show is Dec 1, 1997 -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 16, 12:40 2
        
        ah, thanks - I remember someone mentioning that now, but I forgot. -- nm - b. Dec 16, 12:42 1
        
        I *think* it was the move from V1 to V2 that caused that. It may have been the move from V2 to V3. -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 16, 12:44
- don't remember, but probably short -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 16, 12:08
- I had it long. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 12:07
- I don't think I was playing yet -- nm - decline Dec 16, 12:07
- Short, I think. I shorted PASON too -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 16, 12:07
- I was short. But I made up for it on the post-adjust as I recall. -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 12:06
- Short and you're all liars below me. -- nm - iSpam Dec 16, 12:04 19
  - (I also longed PASON) - ML Dec 16, 12:05 18
    - blair was before I started, but I confidently longed PASON. -- nm - b. Dec 16, 12:09
    - That I don't remember which is why BLAIR is the touchstone. -- nm - iSpam Dec 16, 12:07
    - I longed PASON early and was as certain of that as anything I ever played. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:07 3
      - Me too. Don't think I was around for Blair. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 12:18
      - right, and with TBWP I thought this game was easy. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 12:12
      - yep -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 12:08
    - I don't remember if I did or not. I would guess that I shorted that. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 12:07 11
      - i think it's possible i just wasn't playing much then, because i can't recall at all, either way. maybe i didn't have it. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 12:07 10
        
        february 2004. maybe we were on a break? -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 12:09 9
        
        Yeah, I was probably not playing at that point. -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 12:13
        
        working the elevators in vegas -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 16, 12:11 1
        
        was it that weekend? maybe i just didn't play it because i wouldn't be able to babysit it before it halted. - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 12:13
        
        that seems early for a break, but maybe. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 12:10 5
        
        was this post the first Vegastravaganza? - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:13 4
