I keep checking. #19988 just joined as JackSparrow. (Hi there Jack!) Suppose the board will explode once we hit 20,000?

Say, how many Browncoats are in a battalion?

There are going to be fireworks, and strawberries, and a big damn fair.

Dammit, I'm off to get my flatmates to register just to speed this up some.

I thought about registering for a new account just to see if I get to be 20,000.

But that would be lame.

I knew I should've waited another week before signing up...

Do we get anything cool for knowing the 20,000 registrant? *Starts emailing friends to get them to register...*

REALLY!? What number do I have!? Ah crap, 13116. This thing is rigged, I tell you!

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

I don't believe we've been given any particular information regarding the organization of the units of the Independent's armies. Going by modern army organizations a battalion tends to have 300 - 600 or more troops. If you want to extend the civil war metaphor to the military organization then you don't get battalions at all but regiments of about 1100 composed of 10 companies each with about 100 troops each. (per this page http://www.nps.gov/gett/getttour/armorg.htm )

More exotic possibilities are of course possible.

You mouse over the user ID and then look down at the status bar on the bottom of your screen and it will give a url that ends in a number.

Did we get it? Did I miss it? Someone get miss coooll on here!!!

Is it really, really true?

Break out the Dom Perignon, darlins. And strawberries. And those ice cream things on chains. And silly hats. And 76 trombones.

BA-DA-DAA-DA-DAAAAAAAAAAA-DA-DUM!!!

Well, glad that milestone has been reached. And we can all retire from our life of crime.

Tell you what, the board may not have broken, but it's sure getting slow to post around here.

Next job: everyone gets at least 5 people on board....
