I wonder if the UK Government will try and intriduce an E-Cig ban across the UK lol.

It's a nice map, here's my 1st attempt with Scribe:

After I take the time to highlight this very important information for smokers, thats what you choose to say?

That weed f@#!ed your brain hard boy, -1 for you

+ Enjoy degenerating your health when there is a perfectly viable alternative out there that you would enjoy more than traditional cigs, save money on, and improve your health.

You are out of place Nail, it's good and everything you are showing this to people to try and help them, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and choose what they would prefer, and when you are saying "that you would enjoy more" just isn't true, I recently quit smoking, it was easy for me, luckily, for others it's not so easy, I had a shot of M3ntals e-cig thing, and while it does have a sort of nice taste, it doesn't have that "hit" that real cigarettes give.

Without a doubt your option is "healthier", but then again, "healthier" doesn't always mean more enjoyable, please remember some people don't care if they die from smoking, if someone choses to say "e-cigs" suck and they prefer real cigs, don't try and act better than them, if he wants to say that, fair enough, he didn't insult you or direct his comment towards you, he was just stating his opinion and you openly mock him for it, sorry, but that's pretty arrogant.

-1 for you for disrespecting others opinions. (i'll plus 1 you again though lol, cuz I love the way you put your 1st post together xD)

Also i'd like to add to Nails list of pros:

For UK and other countries with a public smoking ban, there is no law against using the e-cig indoors, so you can smoke it freely in a pub without harming others, you might get a few funny looks, but that wouldn't stop me if I was into this e-cig lol.

As a Fort Veteran, I fully support this scheme, +1 HHC, good work

Our game was nice, I shot an incredible 0 wind LG zook into the tightest gap and called it, but they kicked our ass in the end, well the whole way really lol, gg HHC

Not sure about "official", but I've taken several different typing tests - this ones not half bad.  I'd definitely consider it an easier one because they're giving you short words that have a 'qwerty' flow to them.  The hard ones are filled with ridiculous grammar and proper nouns - though they give you an entire screens worth of typing in front of you so there is no confusion, with the exception that if you take your eyes off the screen for one second you will lose your place completely.

Keyboard placement is where ever you want it to be.  I find it that I am fastest when I have the keyboard to the edge of the desk that way none of my arm wrests on anything.  Not only am I a fast typer, but I am extremely loud...  Everyone in my office complains/makes comments about me chattering away on the keyboard.  I remember when I use to rope, you'd be able to hear it throughout 3/4ths of my parents house too lol.

I am exactly the same, except at work, I don't use computers at work, what's your style anyway? I don't even know what I am I haven't looked into this, I was actually surprised last week when I found out that I am above average which was cool, but anyway i'll break it down how I type if you are interested:

When I am typing my thumbs cross over to create a sort of "X" pattern on the space bar with my left being over my right, my left index rests on F my left middle on E my right index on J and my right middle on I, I only use the pinky for enter and left shift, i've noticed when I use backspace I use both my right pinky and ring finger, you got any tips to improve?

Well, this little test ain't exact spot on either but it's fun xD Probably as close as each other, also coming to think of it, do the official tests have special keyboards or seating arrangements or something?

Regardless of whether or not you know what you're going to type, you subconsciously do...

In the end, timing yourself manually as you type isn't the same as taking a legitimate typing test - that's all.

What so, I can tell the future lol?

Indeed, that's what I done to buy everything I got, save save save

Nice post Nail, but I disagree with some parts of your "better equipment" bit, without a doubt, keyboards with no keylock are easier to rope with than keyboards with keylock, and most keyboards without keylock do cost more, not that it matters because like I said, I bought a £5 keyboard, which Spacebar sucks, but using keychanger Left Control makes it perfect, I totally agree modifying your own keyboard, in any way that doesn't rid the need of skill should be legit, and it pretty much is anyway, more generally speaking though, the best quality things in life are more expensive, that's just the way it is, but like you said, money isn't worth any amount when/where raw natural talent and skill is needed.

I think "fast taps" are more useful in TTRR than in Roper, especially if it's a tight RR map, if you know what I mean?

In Roper, for me it's all about quickly observing where my crate lands, and deciding which moves to use to collect it and get back as fast as possible with as little risk as possible, when I have an easy crate, I will literally slow right down and act as if I have all day, like if it's a crate possible to collect and attack in 5-6 seconds, i'll still take as close to 15 seconds as possible to do the job, if I have a hard crate, I try to use as little connections of the rope as possible, instead of doing a spike, or a shadow, i'll try and fly down without even doing a spike/shadow, by doing this it gives you the right momentum to pick the crate up and throw yourself back up, saving very valuable seconds.

I see so many Ropers see a hard crate, and do like 20 taps along the roof thinking it made them faster, but it doesn't lol, I think it's perfection seeing someone rope so slow, yet get from A to B and back and attack so fast and efficiently...

Wtf SnipeR, 197!!!!! lol the world record is 212!!, SnipeR, you type slow as hell online in games, in fact, you hardly even talk lol, for someone who hardly types how the hell are you that fast??!, Sorry, I can't believe that... You are literally one of the fastest typists in the world... Did you use AutoHotkey?! LOL


Shady, I wouldn't go as far as to think it's cheating lol, maybe you read faster than me or something, I can't remember even 40% of lyrics for ANY song that isn't dance/repetative, well, except Hey There Delilah, but that's a bit repetitive also, besides, I didn't know what I was going to type when I was doing it, I was just making shit up lol, but sometimes I have a problem reading, and I have the same problem also when the paragraph changes, almost everytime I lose valuable time cuz the way the screen changes it and I mistype/misread it...

Actually coming to think about it, the test is all random words, that don't make sense, but I think theres a subliminal message in there I've had "America white house" quite a few times, conpiracy anyone?!? xD

Guaton, I ain't trying to look like anything, i'm telling it like it is, there will always be people on either side, I think logically it's a good thing we now know about this, why wouldn't it be, and I praise Sniper for being honest, even if it's a little late, he's doing the right thing, how can't you see that?

Lol, I done this with 1 hand(right):

You type 220 characters per minute
You have 39 correct words and
you have 0 wrong words

And 1 hand(left):

You type 198 characters per minute
You have 35 correct words and
you have 0 wrong words

Ah shady ! How you doing? Nice to see another speedtyper xD It's weird cuz I can't get better than 125 on that test, but I got my gf to time me (yes, I got THAT into this haha) 3 times and I done 141-2 mistakes/142-0 mistakes and 146-1 mistake, The 1st time she gave me a subject to write about, she said "work" and I went on a rampage how I lost at pool to the work champion etc lol, then another 2 subjects, I am guessing you can type about 150 when you just type what you want too huh?

39wpm for one hands not bad lol...
