Curious, who's been a forum member longest?

[Had a dad]

Oldschool people bought first HoI2 box, then HoI2 Doomsday box, then Armgeddon, and only got one icon for it.
And the elite got a HoI2 beta icon.

So you got all the rares?
Diplomacy, yes
V2 beta, nice
But no HoI2 beta, EU3 CE, Rome CE?

Yeah I had the box versions of HOI1, HOI2, Doomsday, and Arma (I just found my HOI1 manual recently ) with no icons for them other than Arma along with a few others. I purchased Anthology after having the others just for the icon. I also have the boxed version of EU3 and EU:Rome which I purchased just days after their release. I unfortunately did not join the forum till HOI3 was announced.

Was an avid player of PDS games before joining the forum and on HOI2 alone have over 10K hrs game time pre 2009.

I kick myself cause maybe I would have gotten into the hoi2 beta had I been around back then

As for the EU3 CE and Rome CE I didn't get addicted to the swag till after you could no longer register them

So - have you actually played all the games, or do you "just" collect the Icons?


Oh, and my number is 300 - but originally there were both a Swedish and an English Paradox forum and I joined the Swedish forum well a head of Svea Rike 3. Later on the Swedish forum got merged with the English forum.

I have another question that's sort of related to this thread: Who has been a moderator the longest? Registration date and number are easy to check, but ascension to mod-dom is not.

Johan?

Otherwise, BiB!
Some OT mods have been around for long too. OHGgamer, Blade!, Stonewall.
Not sure when blue emu got his moderation rights. Or Vulture stopped being one.

The new ones I buy and the PDS ones I play, but no I have not played every game that I purchased for an Icon. I'm pretty horrible when it comes to WotV and CK2

My fav games currently are HOI3, Victoria 2, and EU IV so those are the ones that I tend to play if I have free time for gaming.

When Leviathan came out I spent quite a bit of time playing it, as it was like crack

Funny you mentioned OHGamer, he sort of prompted my question. I noticed he's no longer a moderator.

 

[skynet464]

Edit: Woo hoo, 444034. Almost got Gin Rummy with numbers like these.

If you include moderators I would guess AndrewT who have around 35k posts; if not, Enewald with some 22k posts probably is a good guess.
You have to remember though that posts in OT or OT games doesn't count, so if you mean who has posted most, then nobody knows.

[Third Angel]

There used to be a members' list which could be sorted by number of posts but I cannot find it anymore, has it been removed?

 

[delra]

Who's got the most posts?

 

[Enewald]

O.O well you expect the the 1st ones of PDS to have the most post, dam!
to much time at the keyboard I say! :laugh:

 

[Castellon]

Although it is true that posts in OT are not counted, it is also true that posts in staff forums are not counted either.
If you counted them my post count would be much, much higher, as well as those on the Moderating team, since we are secretly a bunch of spammers.

 

[Teurlinx]

Spammers? I just happen to have a civilized post count. o

Haven't been around that long but I definitely got a nice avatar (and a hideous forum name)

The avatar is worse.

How did you get the custom avatar? I seem to remember some staff member - I think it was Captain Gars - having tested the EU3 achievements on another account; it was found out because that account had all achievements. It was called something with pigglet: Is that you Captain Gars?
