You know you have \"arrived\" when....

[kevd82]

You know you have \"arrived\" when...

...you have your own personal sniper who gives you a \"1\" on every figure you post (and your score is high enough that a \"1\" really ruins it).

...other CMON members start threads on the forums about your figures.

Feel free to add your ideas to this!

\"arrived\" = good enough painter to be noticed

 

[Lurch]

You know you\'ve arrived when....

You read the 17th version of the \"CMON Voting is not fair\" topic in the forums and realize this is the topic that wont die.
or
You have a cut and paste answer every time the topic appears and other forum users not only wait for you to post it again but PM you to make sure you saw it.
(not really painting oriented, but still fits around here)
lol

How about when you\'ve reached 100 posts and you become a member? Congrats to you kevd82.

(Other than that I have no idea, as I definitely haven\'t \"arrived\" yet. I think I\'m more of a \"called ahead to say that I got turned around on the beltway, so I might be a little late ...\")

 

[wightzombie]

You know you have \"arrived\" when....

You leave.

 

[PStafAllen]

When...

... you overhear someone at a GD using your CMON nick in conversation, and you say \"Hey, I\'m xxxxx\" and they say, \"Yeah, right.\" and don\'t believe you.

... someone comments on your latest piece with a reference to \"Your usual style\"

... Your comments no longer begin \"I can\'t do NMM any better but I suggest...\" and instead begin \"You should...\"

P.

Congrats Kevd;

Off topic, congrats on number 100 Mr. Member.

On topic, how about:

You complain because the last figure you posted only got a 7+ score....

You appear in Chrispy\'s comic...

Cheers,
Grumb

You know when you\'ve arrived when....

you appear in Chrispy\'s comic. That is the ultimate recognition! *sigh* one day I too will grace the electronic pages of his genius... (I wonder if that\'s enough flattery ??? )

If he doesn\'t get fresh coffee in the dressing room, I\'m gonna quit and you can take my role

Seriously, I agree with a lot of points so far as I have come from being a 6.0 to 8.0 painter in the last few years. I do work personally that i think should be an 8 and when it gets a 7.5 I am confused, but then it passes. There are always more minis to paint and post! Also, I am no master, but I like to give comments with (hopefully) helpful suggestions....

And snipers? Yes. I remember \"babyunicorn\" and the drivel that disgruntled person (whoever it really was) was posting on my figures!!!!

 

[kevd82]

Lurch: you should just have Chern set up something to automatically email that to every new member!

Grumbold: Good one, if you can complain about a 7 or higher than that can be seen as a good thing.

Thanks for the congratulations on the 100th post - I\'m official now!

Wouldn\'t know. Still out on the Beltway with Dr. Bob
But I think I would agree with Tooshy. TO be imortalized in Chrispy\'s comic would be the height of recognition for me

Oh! I forgot! Congradulations Kevd82:flip::flip:

This is not the same as \'arriving\'....

But...

You know you \'have got a problem\' when on the way home from work you drive past the pub because you would rather spend a couple of hours on CMON.

Better company, a nicer class of person and no-one wants to bore you sh*tless about bloody football.

Hey! That means I arrived and didn\'t even know it!
I think so far that\'s the only way I can ever be on the same list as Saxonangel, Zaphod etc.

 

[frenchkid]

When after much complaining you finnaly get that 8+ score on one of your minis.

All those who wait for Lurch to post the Copy/Paste hands up.

Yep, that would include me!

When people are quoting you in their signature lines, or when you post a rant of unusall length and everyone says - Yes, brother, I agree for four or five posts.
