Who's Who On the ToO - Week 6

Post by Iron and Light »

Finally... here's week six, everyone. Week seven should be released sometime later tonight, and then week eight about a day after that. Then, I'm hoping to do week nine's this Friday as was originally scheduled. I've always given up any hope of getting back on schedule with these things :(. Sorry everyone! It's not intentional, I promise ;).
Who's Who on the ToO - Week 6 wrote:Who's Who on the ToO - Week 6 - DanP740:

Having joined the ToO in the year of '05, not long after it's creation, DanP740 (affectionately referred to as 'Dan' by most) is a young oldbie- a veteran of the ToO at only 14 years old. He can be seen every year in Finneman's Market making his official ToO birthday presents for ever Town of Odyssey anniversary. He can also be found in the Town of Odyssey chat, where he is known as Dan_In_Trank_Tank (or something to that affect) and is nicknamed DITT for short.

Dan is, in fact, one of the few oldbies that has stayed on the ToO through thick and thin throughout the years, however his sporadic posting habits and recurring disappearances in the Town might prohibit newer members from getting to know him.

In his own words, he is:
DanP740 wrote:I'm a guy. Yeah. And I'm gettin' old. :- And I play guitar, and have lived in the same house all my life. And I talk more online than real life.
When asked about his faith, he noted:
DanP740 wrote:I became a Christian at about.... 8 or 9 or something, can't quite remember. I guess I'm non-denominational, or whatever "*mumblemumble* Bible Church" is.
His likes, dislikes, and favorite things to do are as follows (in Dan's words, of course):
DanP740 wrote:I like to play guitar, do stuff on the computer, run sound systems, split logs and clean bathrooms in service crew \:D/ I don't like having to be told over and over to do something (at least I'm not bugged about my room, because it's past the point of no return xD \:D/ ) I like pretty much every color, I like guitars, pretty much any type of music (everything from jazz to techno, classical to extreme metal)
Dan then went on to explain about how he found the ToO:
DanP740 wrote:I was on the TH because Tim was on the TH, although I'd been in the chatroom for years. I missed out on getting here the first day because I didn't feel like reading the announcement until April 3rd xD
And his first thoughts when seeing our awesome Town went something like this, apparently \:D/:
DanP740 wrote:MONEY! (gah, almost typed Monet...) And, I left when Charles took over, told myself I wouldn't come on for a week, but gave in and came back the next day and things were back to normal :-
Of course, when you've been around since nearly the very first day of the ToO, you've got to have a lot of friends ;).. So, who are Dan's favorite ToO'ers, you're wondering?.....
DanP740 wrote:Top (he's funny), Lonesome Dove :- , ek, J-man, Jayaar, Catspaw, and of course others I can't think of. Jared! \:D/
So what's your favorite memory, Dan?:
DanP740 wrote:Either getting thrown in jail twice by Regis for trying to rebuild the Trank Tank or getting another $4075 paycheck from my job as a Ninja Farmer before the economy reset
Wow.. thrown in jail by Regis- sounds awesomely violent \:D/.

-cough-

As pertaining to AIO, Dan explained that he doesn't really have a favorite character, however his favorite episodes are as follows:
DanP740 wrote:Top This, Mandy's Debute, 500, Inside the Studio, Gifts for Madge and Guy, I Slap Floor, etc.
And now, to wrap up our article....:
DanP740 wrote:
Iron and Light wrote:What makes the ToO so awesome?
Top, smilies, and me being a young oldbie.

Install a map of Odyssey instead of the main page, and you click on various buildings for the different boards
Well, that's all for this article- thanks for sharing, Dan \:D/.

"Young oldbie" ... great term to describe Dan! I remember when he was thrown into jail by Regis for trying to rebuild the Trank Tank. Ahh, good times.

So what does the "P740" mean, may I inquire?

Given your affinity for cars, my guess is that it means this! \:D/
Code P0740/p740: Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Malfunction. This is a fairly complicated issue. It will take more than one article to address the issue. Realistically speaking without good reliable diagnostic techniques by a competent mechanic many folks will get the same result as the individual who asked this question. I’m not going to get super detailed in this post, I want to answer the question. I do think that a detailed post on the symptom itself and the many issues that can cause it should be discussed. I also would like to explain exactly what a TCC (torque converter clutch) is.
....

That was the only car sounding thing I saw on the first page of my Google search. :yes:
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

But we already know you're stalkerish, since you said you know what it means...

Nope. I have a right to know it, seeing as I've used the same number myself. :p

Oh, you mean something like TJP740? :p I... haven't used that number before. So I suppose I have no right to know it. :(
