Conquer Club

IF you havn't noticed, there is a seargeant named Nathan BJ who has completed 19 games and has 1883 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has there ever been someone on Conquer club that has started out so well? He could be up into the general points and only be a lieutenant or a captain, i think that is incredible!

That's very impressive.

Much claps for you Nathan.

WOW, took me 679 games to get to 2008, and make Colonel. I'd say he has the best start. I may hold the record for taking the most games to get to Colonel. Is there anyone who is or has held the rank of Colonel, who took longer than 679 games??

he is oviously good and he got there by facing good players

I haven't been a part of here much, but I think that's an awesome start! Personally, I don't think I'm that great myself.

The title of this thread is a little misleading.

Maybe something more of "Nathan BJ - Most points for a newbie?"

there you go

Oi, you can do what you want, but I disagree with your change.

n00b n, adj. (n /oo/ b) - Someone who asks stupid questions, is overall insanly irritating, begs for what he wants, and is not a good sport. Does not care that he/she may be a n00b, and often tends to unfairly call others n00bs to make them feel better.

Newbie adj. (n /oo/ b ee) - Someone who is new to something and so can make the mistake of asking silly questions, but is apologetic and tries his/her best to learn how to not be a newbie.

Wut the hell???

You need to learn IPA, man.

The first one is pronounced /'nub/, the second one /nub'i/. Note the stress marks.

Not even the bastardised American dictionaries (who use their corrupted long-short diacritic forms) use "oo" to represent the vowel /u/.

This thread is not talking about stupid dictionary crap, lol!

It's not dictionary crap, it's the International Phonetic Alphabet. Got difference. You see, if we romanised everything in IPA we wouldn't have obnoxious Westerners mispronouncing pinyin "Wang" as /w̃æŋ/ when it's in fact /waŋ/.

So I digress. This is an international community, yes?

LoL you got me

That depends on whether you say "u" as oo or /u/. Personally, I say it mroe of a "uh" than a long /u/.

And no, those where spur of the moment definitions I made for the words. I do not pretend to be perfect. Thank you for showing me a new way to look at it.

Yeah, but if you're giving a dicdef you have to use a standardised orthography - one phonetic vowel for each letter. Hence /u/ is always /u/. That's why it's found between slashes.

There are five graphemic vowels in the English alphabet. Humans are capable of producing 28 (English has about 11-14, depending on dialect), not including nasals, which doubles that number. This is a problem, no?

"Uh" is very ambiguous. I think you either mean the schwa /ə/ or the open mid-back unrounded vowel /ʌ/ .

So anyway, this was just a side note.

Hmmm, English Major?
Thank you for you sound and logcial advice and I shall act on it in the future.

I think Nathan BJ is off to the best start ever

I think its your multi account.

LOL..Everything about this thread makes me laugh!

Thanks for the compliments.

Too bad I can't freeze time though- looks like I'll lose my next 5.

Any march toward 5,000 points is going to be like a tortoise- I need to keep my active games to a minimum due to work demands.

Here is a player for your to watch- Haucky. I know him from the annual Risk tournament in PA. He is an awesome player and his point total after several games ain't too bad!

i found a New Recruit on the 4th page. he/she had 1350 points in 4 games )))

that is a greeat start though
