Food Chain / Order of Hyssop Gong Show! (Slacker List)

Hello all. The following short list of people are not in compliance with chain policy, so as always, Im posting this to bring the situation to your attention. ...and so your clan mates can heckle you and throw tomatoes! :splat:

Lucky Strike: GONG! 6.2million down. Yoi! Not acceptable for an OH member. Please get that taken care of.

Apothem: GONG! You were failing last week... and I'll be gosh darn if you aren't failing this week too! You see, ideally you want to be PASSING, not failing. All the girlies love a man who passes his quota. In closing, I'd just like to say: Passing > Failing

Decklen Klein: GONG! Last week we had some trouble with you reading the boards to get chain moves done. This week, you are failing quota. Ladies and gentlemen, can we please have a round of applause for this outstanding member of the Food Chain!

Nausicaa: GONG! The surgeon general has determined that failing quota may be hazardous to the Food Chain.

Bacal: GONG! In this crazy thing we like to call an "experience chain" you have to pass up a certain amount of xp. You my good man, are not passing up enough. Recipe for success: Mix one part xp with one part oober xp. Heat on an open flame until golden brown and drizzle with xp.

I'd like to see everyone on this list passing by friday. You're all aware of the penalties for noncompliance, so lets get this taken care of.

Thanks!

I want to commend you on your timing ... truly unbelievable. I've been failing for less then 24 hours.

I apologize for this, by the way. I didn't know it in advance, but I started a new job today and thats why I couldn't catch up.

I am going in game right now and I'm going to play until I'm current.

Hopefully this isn't a serious inconvenience to anyone. I will be current (or in game working on it) starting immediately.

Not an inconvenience at all. (As long as you catch up.) :)

Im gonna do one of these in the middle of every week fellas. We haven't had any serious problems from anyone yet. Some of you guys are on the borderline though.

Please get these issues cleared up by Friday.

Nausicaa, thanks for taking care of business brotha.

Podunkmer, your guys at the bottom are not looking real good in the quota department either. You just got in the chain, so get a few updates in.

I must say, these posts do have a good amount of humor in them ;)

I asked Oof if I could count agregate quota calculations (using the excess from one character to make up for the debt on another) and he said that should be fine. For example at the moment Podunkmer+Keshi are about 6 million in the black, and the other three are 1.5 million in the red.

I also like to fight with them fellowed across both accounts (the other account apparently hasn't gotten enough updates to download) when my roommate isn't playing that account, so I can probably get them out of the red for show that way. But I was pushing for 95 to train missile on Podunkmer so I haven't done that yet this week. I should have some time to iron things out this weekend.

Sometimes I think about failing!....just so I can be on the gong list and see what Heat says about me...these are hilarious. Serious intent...but humerous overtones. Very nice job Heat!

Failing just to see what I'd say...

Hey, I hadn't even seen this post, just checking my numbers daily, don't like numbers in red :wink:


I just can't help it, I have a vassal with ADHD, he is making such an insane amount I gotta work my ass off and can hardly play for phun. :lol:


Bw, the listing is still very screwed up, how come I am on it more than once?

The multiple listings show up whenever there has been a change in vassal or patron. A while back, people were wondering why their quota would reset, their reporting period would reset, and things like that. Ranger modified the report so it creates a line now whenever there has been a change. The extra lines will fall off of the report whenever that vassal change is older than 21 days.

Heat, you may have to post something for Ian Mac someday, even if he hasn't failed quota. :)

Apothem, Decklen Klein: Last chance fellas. You're skating on thin ice.

Need those uploads in fellas. Im not going to keep repeating this. If you aren't passing by this evening we're gonna have to remove you.

Also: Lucky Strike: Xbowman has not uploaded in a week. Again, not acceptable for an OH member. If keeping up with the reqs for OH is too demanding, then perhaps its time to take one of your guys out? Something to think about anyway. I'd rather you step up and get yourself out if its too much to handle, rather than have management do it for you with a removal order.
