long!

Responses:

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

        do you have your original account name? you can plop it in place of mine in the url here to see its creation date. nm but: -- (link) - b. Dec 16, 12:38 4
        
        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
        
        and the above is a bit too unintentionally off. sorry. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 12:50
        
        Amy and I joined HSX due to BLAIR in EW, so it was *way* before. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 12:37 2
        
        they're talking about 2004. -- nm - b. Dec 16, 12:39 1
        
        yep, PASON opening -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 12:41
wasn't playing but god what a ripoff that movie was -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 16, 12:04 3
- My sister still gives me sh*t for dragging her to see it. - Jovian Dec 16, 12:07
- matt and lucas and I drove to philly to try to see it. the traffic around the theatre was so bad, people milling all over the streets. - loaner machine mandy Dec 16, 12:06 1
  - yeah it was crazy at The Charles -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 16, 12:07
short. which was stupid because i personally was super-excited about it. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 12:04
