Ah neither was I, but thats beside the point. First of all I didnt bring it up, I just stated I was against any revision of the generation system that was agreed to by consensus some years ago
That's nice. And other people say that it's outdated and doesn't measure things all that well. As a way of categorization - if that's how you roll - it's silly. It lumps a relatively tiny portion of the forum into several distinct groups that don't differentiate between them all that well, as far as the majority is concerned. From the first five generations there are what, fifteen current NESers? And at the same time, it oversimplifies something that is far more nuanced than just "I was around back then". Stuff changes, dude.

I am also not asking you to pay attention to it, nor am I asking you to use it for your own opinions....
Good. I don't usually pay attention to it, and almost never make reference to it; that doesn't mean I can't recognize that it's
outdated and should be revised.

I was merely stating mine that the generational system (for those who still wish to use it) should not be changed (eg. first generation should not be expanded).... it is however there, its in the neswiki that was formed about three years ago, so its legitmate for people to use it.
Wikis are made to be changed.

Honestly I dont think this would of become an issue, if it were not for the fact that I have 'Neser of the first generaton' in my signature.
It became an issue because Thlayli brought it up. Don't inflate your importance.

But as already stated I do wear this as a badge of honour, not many people who are still active can claim this, (emu, Warman, EQ, Jason would be the others I have seen) and its simpler than listing my nesing achievements which I assure you I am most proud of.... it is just too long to list ALL of it....
No, EQ, Jason, Warman, and das are the others that can claim that title. What, are you unilaterally incorporating second generation into first now? Follow your own advice, dude.

Oh and before we start getting into a discussion of achievements, many of them might not seem like major achievements to you, but its more about attaining the goals I set myself in any nes that I join.... I dont believe you can win a nes per se but you can achieve goals.
That's nice. "Winning" a NES always has been ********; funny how I agree with you there. Hell,
I've never really 'won' a NES, yet apparently I have accomplishments.

Dasch you will always have my respect from that nes alone)
Apparently not enough of it for you to spell my username correctly.
Putting "there are only two of import" right after a question ending with "which Central Asian city" seems fairly clear to me.
What about "in that period", which would seem
rather important to me? And I figured Khan was implied since it was in the question. Silly of me, I know.
