Actually, The 'Speef' Midnight Special belonged to Speef (Imagine that). There were 2 instances of them being in game, both piloted by Speef, as a sort of challenge to the community. He would just park it, and the community went off and podded it. (Quite a feat)

yes. i rumor. but i didn't said it isn't true. there could be a possibility that you find the sms shop if u have more than 500k xp.

well the games during sm i never saw anyone reach past 250000 experience in any of the newbie games i played, thats a long way away from 500000, thats why i thought no one would probably get there, but i forgot that when you die now you dont loose 1/3 of your total experience anymore so i guess people might start reaching 500000

those are newbies kardinal. newbies don't like to trade. there were 6 or 7 speefy's in Interrgnum and one in Old School. Gnum was a year long game but 2 of the speefy's i saw started playing half way through the game and OS was only 6 months long. so it CAN be done if you give someone an 8x like the one in omar it would only take 3 months

Nitpicking:
Gnum was not a year long game, it was 6 or 8 months (sorry not sure which), but definately not a year long. Only year long game I've seen (i.e. since 2000) was Milly (Millennium: Year 1). Milly had its Speefies too, I'm not sure about this, but it may have been the first game to have Speefies, anyone with knowledge on the pre-Milly times care to confirm/disagree?

I am fairly certain that gnum was only a 6 month game likewise KOTH. No idea on the Speefy situation

MY1 was the last 1 year game in SM, the rest where either 6 months games (if they lasted that long) or 3 Month games. MY1 was also the first game to see a speefy and the first game to see a speefy die
