Night Ops

Eden

Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life; a young man who, like this lamp, was more than what he seemed: a diamond in the rough. Perhaps y...

I'd stay away from the kool-aid if I were you guys. Just in case. I've heard it can be a bit dodgy.

Eden

The oldest active opper who posts that I know of is still under thirty. I'd say the majority of the core members of this site are all in our twenties (some newly in, others on their way out). I'm sure we do have some older members but they either aren't really posting or are keeping their age to the...

Eden

I think this is actually really intriguing. There tends to be a huge deficit of lady opping clothes in the world. What a surprise (said no one. ever.) Who knows, if I can convince Ghost to try this (or know ahead of time if a number of other people are going to) I may be able to get something that a...

Eden

I'm not sure I would consider myself a Necromancer, or anything, but...

I think we should revisit this, because we need to draw interest or this place will eventually die. And I'll be damned if I see that happen without a fight.

Eden

Psychlonic. Welcome back, big brother. I think now is the perfect time to confess, publicly, that I have never read your book. Nor do I plan to. That being said, the people I have come to know through this site mean the world to me. NopCon was just proof that we can come together and accomplish anyt...

Eden

Hopefully through next weekend

Eden

Anyone who doesn't log in between now and the govt coming back is CLEARLY an NSA agent.

Eden

I'll go in with the boys, Sanctuary.

Eden

Glad you like it. The problem with full length picks is that they looked cumbersome when crossed, so I simply cut the traced shapes in half at the handle and it looks more symmetrical that way. Now I'm thinking I need to somehow turn up the contrast or vectorize the rough outlines, turn them green ...

Eden

So let me get this straight: 1) the old chat sucks (http://nightops.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1544) 2) the new chat sucks A new style for pfc ain't gonna happen. Seriously, download the 1.x source code and look at the php scripts which generate the css. What a clusterfuck. We'll have to do some...

Eden

I voted other, and now must explain, apparently.

I started dating an opper, found out he was a ninja, and wanted to make sure he wasn't going to get killed before my time investment paid off

And then the ninjas took over my life.

So, basically, Stockholm Syndrome.

Eden

Absolutely yes to the multitool, it's on my list of gear I need to get. However, night vision goggles and chem lights seem like a bit much. If you get a multi-tool, make sure to get the Leatherman. I have owned mine for 6 years now and my mind is blown at how well designed and engineered the thing ...

Eden

I vote leave forced login out. People may have a reason for choosing not to do so.

That being said, I echo Xana's chat complaints. I miss my private tabs!

Eden

I'm sure it will eventually.

Eden

Illusion is quite right, anybody who sees this site at first, may think we look like "mall ninjas", or, general misfits who like to purchase Katanas from Dillards and J.C. Penney, but, you will find that we are a different sort of "Mall Ninjas". Occasionally, when the opportunity is right, and the ...

Eden

I love this more than I can possibly express in words.

Finally, a Christmas Carol I can read to my kids!

Eden

Welcome aboard, sir!

Eden

Wish we knew.

Unless you know something we don't??

Eden

Sorry for expressing my opinion, Roxas. I'm sure Nukes is very glad you stood up for him. \ I wasn't going to step in here, but.... We are a very close knit community. Most of our regular members have been part of the site for quite a while, and that creates some pretty strong bonds. Can you see wh...

Eden

I've noticed that many of the people I've opped with have a list of songs, or a certain band, they like to listen to before they go out on an op, or while they are gearing up. I've started to put together a playlist, but it is still very much so a work in progress. Do you have a Pre-Op Playlist? If ...

Eden

Urgon, granted, but it has a hoard of kittens and you have to have your mother move in with you to take care of all of them. I wish Eden and I could kidnap Xana. Granted, but you are busy and don't have time to hang out with us after ;) I wish my kid wasn't leaving me tomorrow. Granted, he leaves t...

Eden

That's a good tip. Less permanent than doing something like painting my runners black, which would raise some eyebrows. We covered most of them in duct tape (black) but not the soles to save traction. We actually cut up a pair of my tights and taped them over the laces to cover them but leave them ...

Eden

I'm mostly confused by the addition of a whistle. Isn't the point not to draw attention? You don't carry a whistle on you at all times? Hey everyone, get a load of this guy! Well, he just happens to be a real man who isn't worried about getting raped ;) But I guess Little Guys like you and Rojas go...

Thanks for these, great reference points for noobs like me :P However, if anyone starting out is reading this, just do it. You don't need to wait until you have all your BDUs and top notch flashlights with red filters approved by NASA, just go outside and work with what you have until you get to a ...

Zerg wrote:Granted, but your only way out is through Oz.

I wish I was a God.

Granted, you now have to listen to the constant bitching in your head that is everyone praying.

I wish we were home form Kansas already.

I believe it's pronounced " 'Murika! ". Any particular fuckup in the news you're specifically referring to or is this just a general reminder never to go there? EDIT: Oh, right. 4/7/13. Happy America day. Fuckers. It's not pronounced "Murika" it's pronounced A-mare-ik-a: America. And it's a cool pl...

Welcome aboard. I'm glad you decided to hop on it. Enjoy.

Roxas wrote:So I'm making a story about nightops. What do you think?

I think the suicide rate of your editors will be astronomical.

Eden

Honey, you need to take it down a notch. I'll be honest with you, saying Hi to a boy in class is a hell of a lot easier than the ridicule you are going to face on here for cyber stalking. And are you talking about Xanatos? Because this sexy australian prince just doesn't mesh in my head with xana as...

I wish I was the greatest night opper that ever lived.

Granted, but you now have a facial tattoo.

I wish I had money for rent.

Eden

Ghost wrote:Granted, but it's a miniature with 30 square feet of space.

I wish I had super strength.

So a Beeriam house then. Of course.

Eden

Granted, but you can only op in a lime green jumpsuit with bells sewn to it.

I wish I owned a house.

Nigma wrote:Granted, though the process is only complete after passing through your large intestine.

I wish to regularly lose my balance and fall, ass first, in an endless field of enormous phallic genitals.

Granted. Each one of them has a different STD, which they have now given to you.

I wish for a pony.

Eden

Slant Rhyme. You classless bastard.

Eden

Cray ops.

Eden

Lay ops.

Eden

...Well, more of a suggestion, really. I was wondering if it would be possible to life (some of) the crazy requirements on passwords. It takes me a few log in attempts each time because I forget the over 9000 numbers, caps, and "special characters" required in your password.

Eden

It is fair to assume that everyone on this forum either ops themselves, or is somehow involved in opping. You wouldn't be here if you didn't, right? I'm curious, though, what the members of this forum do when they aren't prowling the streets at night. What are your hobbies? What do you do for a livi...

A tip from someone who probably knows much more about nail polish remover than you do: it will fuck up your clothing. At best it will strip the color, at worst it will trash the material.

Eden

That's a pretty good idea (unless you are me, and allergic to latex). The only problem I see with that is the BRIGHT YELLOW color. Not exactly stealthy, eh? And, in case you were thinking of it, sharpie is not very effective on them... I suppose you could get these http://cgi.ebay.com/Designer-Diva-...

Eden

My father would love you forever for this suggestion. Every birthday and holiday involving the male half of the species that is what my dad recommends i get them. On a more serious note, they are a valuable idea. You can get the ones that have the different modes for about 15-20 bucks at wal-mart, a...

Therin can definitely help you avoid that. He has been doing pretty well, actually, four months paying rent bills and such without a job. Welcome to NoN!

Isn't that just when you always need your fingers, too? Those dang inconvenient intact bodies...

I am sure a lot of you probably already know about me, but for those of you who don't, Hi. Ya'll can just call me Eden. I am the resident girl on these forums, as well as girlfriend to Therin. I am slowly getting into opping, but, seeing as i still live at home, the opportunities to actually do so a...

you could try these.
