Congrats to Jiro for being knighted. Ser Jiro you shall be called now.
He'll bring the thunder from down under. Unfortunately I don't think he'll be dancing in his undies for me though like the actual thunder from down under guys :( I guess I could always ask....
Jiro was KNIGHTED!!?!?!?!?!
DETERMINED FACE
I will catch up someday
Jiro got knighted and all he gets is a thread? Give the man a spot in the Announcement section!
I already announced it from the tallest mountains and the shortest molehills. What more do you want from me :mad2:
Yes, now I have to CK's I can sleep with then blackmail! :D
Wait, CK's can make announcements. Jiro, use your powers to announce yourself to the forum. It's never been done before!
I think this might be a prank played on me by Psychotic. Thrashing me at Halo just wasn't enough...
GUYS I DID IT I'M A KNIGHT. I'm pretty stoked, so I'm glad you're all supporting me. I WILL BE THE VERY BEST.
Dancing in my underwear may happen Freya. May happen. With a bit of alcohol and a camera, I shall do this. Whether or not it's allowed to be posted is another thing.
EDIT: Crop I love you man, I love the way you think, and your signature is always awesome. :heart:
Like no one ever was?Quote:

A joke!
You, sir, make a mockery of the great reputation of the CKs.
what when did this happen did jiro hack us
Jiro couldn't hack his way into his own account.
About time :colbert:
Just because it's true doesn't make it any less harsh man.Quote:

I think pictures of Pokémon by way of PG is a bannable offence. We can be friends so long as you don't try and sleep with me to get benefits.
Dakoda. Got Knighted? Wow, I finally have a CK who's my bitch! This is gonna be fun!
I don't know where you guys are getting this idea, but I'm not bending over for any of you!
PG is a false pokémon master. :nonono:
Congratulations Jiro, it's now time for you to level grind on some spambots. At the end of the dungeon is a marathon boss, and you have to get to level 14 to learn Thunder, which is it's only weakness. :p

So if you knight me now, then it will be a record because there has been 0 arguing.Quote:

Hypo, it took Jiro almost 7 years to get knighted. You still have like 6 years to go!
Not if I kidnap CidQuote:

beastiality is bad unless it is a kitteh named HC
And with these four words, emphasis especially on the fourth, you have doomed yourself never to become a CK.Quote:

awwww Jiro :bigsmile:
Alright Dakbro, now that you're a CK I can finally have you do all my bidding. First things first, I've compiled a short list of people that I feel should be banned. Next, I'd like you to consolidate the Final Fantasy III, VII and XI boards into one big board.
So, you'd like yourself banned? I'm sure someone could help you with that :bigsmile:
Congrats on the CK'ing.
Item number 2 requires ACP access. :pQuote:

Well it's ABOUT BLOODY TIME, I've been reporting your posts for WEEKS, now can you PLEASE do something about them!?
Some Knighting, you guys didnt even hold a giant competition to induct him
Yeah this just proves how far off the map I am. What in the seven blue hells of Indonesia is a Cid's Knight on this forum? Like a moderator intern? Jiro, do you have to get Shlup raisin bagels, and spiced chai lattes now?
Actually Bunny I didn't use any :shobon:Quote:

Yesssssss, another one of my friends on staff. :mwahaha:
What I've learned from this thread:
Everyone thinks Dak is their friend and plans on trying to use him in his new position.
Man Jiro, you have a lot of friends xD
How do you think I got to this point? YOU'RE ALL PAWNS
Oh, you poor boy. I feel so sorry for you :(
I don't understand how Loony BoB could approve of a racist like Jiro becoming a CK.
You have heard BoB tell jokes, right?
Nonsense, BoB is a robot programmed for pie charts and graphs only.
Good for you, kiddo! :jiro:
I take offence to that. You also forget that I'm a homophobe. It's funny how one of my best friends is a gay black man, but I'm definitely a homophobic racist.Quote:

Congratulations to you, sir. I am sure you shall do your job well. Seeing you as a CK makes me think how long it's been since I properly stopped by here last (not just for searching for old things I remember finding here). Why you were just a young'in back then! /exaggeration
Good flick.Quote:

And how!
Care to join me down at the speak-easy for a bit of the ol' giggle water and maybe a ciggy or two?
No. No I don't care to at all. :colbert:

Psychotic is right. I don't like to admit that, but he is.
This is why Britain lost the war.Quote:

Last time Britain was conquered? Roman Empire, yeah? Although I suppose technically that's more "England and Wales were conquered", not Britain as a whole.
Urm... BoB I think he was talking about our revolutionary war. Seeing as they were talking about the semantics between the two countries. :monster: The moreyou knowthat goes over your head.
Remind me when United States was last conquered.Quote:

EDIT: In response to Bunny: The land that the US covers was last conquered in the 1600/1700's, I would imagine, around the time that the Europeans colonised it. If you mean the country/nation, then The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has also never been conquered. Not that I care either way, as I'm a New Zealander. :p
Britain didn't lose World War 2, at least to my knowledge, which would make that conclusion complete nonsense.
Actually under the context it was used in, it was perfectly alright to be referenced as "the war". Seeing as it directly involved The U.S. and Britain and that was what they were talking about. Had something like "that's why we had to come in to save you in the war" been said, in that context "the war" would refer to WWII. Context, it's great when trying to get your meaning across.
:monster: The more you know!
"hence my confusion"Quote:

'The war' can be referenced to anything. As in the current war or any. "The war has caused a lot of deaths" Could mean a lot of different wars. The Iraqi, Afghan, Vietnam, Desert storm, WWII, etc etc. Saying it's associated with one is just silly. Even if the fact we're in the U.S., that's just a silly way to look at it. Maybe we were learnededed betters. As I said BoBbles, it's context. That you missed hehe.
EDIT: It's ok, the wonder boy will catch these things. He's smarts! GO TEAM JIRO!
The land, yes, but the country itself is an entirely different matter. It doesn't take much to walk into a relatively empty space that isn't owned by anyone and say "I own this now. This is mine."Quote:

I do not understand the hangup. I do not understand how the context could be confused at all. I think you're just trying to save yourself right now. You can be honest, it's okay. People are wrong sometimes.Quote:

How to get BoB to be a more active member/poster:
1) Mention his judgement about said topic flippantly in a thread. Gain luls
2) He magically appears!
3) Question/laugh at/reply directly to his posts
4) He posts more!
SUCESS! BoB just posted more and is semi active again!

We were British in 1814.
technically. Anyway 'we' helped in either case.Quote:

Lekana's right if you're talking about conquering in 1814. Capturing and burning, yes. From what I understand, though, neither the Canadian/British nor the Americans gained any ground on the 1812 war. I only know about that one because of EoFFers. I think it was Bleys, actually, who taught me about it... might be wrong, mind you.
I'm fully aware it can mean anything, the only point I made regarding the whole "the war" thing is that outside of America - at least in the countries I've lived in - if you aren't already talking about a war then people tend to assume you're talking about World War II. I wasn't saying Bunny was wrong, I wasn't saying I was right. I was saying I was confused, and that was why. It's all good! :D Hope that makes more sense to you.Quote:

I never learned about the details until I read upon it today, as it was never taught in our schools and the big American wars we watched movies about in my life were generally the American civil war and World War II. It's just not as big a thing overseas (or at least in NZ), I guess, as it is in America. Which makes sense. I hope you can understand how the context was confused now.Quote:

Ooh, good call. I probably should have remembered that given that it was part of my Life in the UK test. >_>; But then, it wasn't the UK, it was England. Technicality? :pQuote:
Ummmm. The Norman's?
The more I know. :) I guess NZ hasn't really had any major war surrounding us, so we just go with the 'world' ones. We're newbies to this kind of thing. :p Hopefully it will remain that way.Quote:

lol BoB. Lol.
Helped? There was no 'we' and 'they' in those days. Confederation didn't come about until 1867, and even then foreign policy remained in British hands, which is why we were automatically at war when the King declared against the Kaiser--in essence, we were still considered to be part of Britain. The Statute of Westminster notwithstanding, Canadian citizenship didn't exist until 1947--Canadian residents held British citizenship, and we didn't fully shed our Britishness until 1982 when we got our own Constitution. Up until then, Canadians did not require a passport to travel to the UK. (source)Quote:

Once the British Army had chased away all the Frenchmen they had no use of the crown & wanted that big land to themselves to run slaves over.

Honestly BoB, right now you are the internet equivalent of someone's sad old dad singing and dancing to Poker Face while wearing a Family Guy shirt.
Don't make me bruise you again. I hate Lady Gaga with a passion. I do have a Family Guy t-shirt though. Danielle got it for me recently. It's... okay. It's got him fighting a chicken and I don't think I've seen the episode.
fixed. I'll send you links when I find those episodes.Quote:

But we did a damn fine job, BoB. Mother England owes us a great debt for that :bou::bou::bou::bou: we pulled.
Darn tootin'.
I think they also owe you a debt for shipping you off to that island(s).
Continent for Australia, and they were indeed shipped there - or at least, some of them were. People went to NZ of their own accord, lured by the promise of a new paradise that had been found down that way. When they arrived, they faced hostile (sometimes cannibal) tribes and lived in crappy makeshift buildings on muddy ground. Hello, Auckland! Of course, time changes everything and now it's probably a lot closer to the paradise they were promised, but going by the letters they wrote to their families in the UK which we had to study at school, they probably won't take much consolation out of that.
Dunno how the Aussies fared - the Aboriginals were pretty different to the Maori.
There was a bit of hostility from certain tribes here and there as far as I'm aware. Not everybody liked the weird white men with their strange skin.
Australia as a whole seemed like a :bou::bou::bou::bou: place to set up shop though.
Not as :bou::bou::bou::bou:ty as this place though:
