Impressive work MPA. Does this mean you're gonna stop at a nice round 50k?

I don't expect these people to blam/protect all their lives.

I'm lucky in that I do 95% of my voting while at work (40 hrs/week) so unless I find a new job I'll be voting until I retire (or Newgrounds shuts down).

Congratulations on reaching 50000 b/p points. You now have a good chance to get the second place from gfoxcook as he is not so active lately. Keep the good work up. ;)

Well too late for stopping on 50,000, I got it last night a few hours before heading off to bed and decided it wasn't a big deal to let 20ish points go by for the sake of the previously posted screen shot. I think I'm going to attempt to grab the 2nd spot for at least a bit, then after that I'm not sure.

Wow what kind of job allows you to do that. Or is dumb enough not to catch you. Plus be a cool job.

-Myst-, my job has me in front of a computer for most of my shift and I have the security system set up so that if anything goes wrong the Newgrounds screen drops down and the alarm monitor pinpoints the exact time, place and type of alarm. After working here for over 3 years there's very little chance something is going to gain access to the building without my knowledge. I rarely visit Newgrounds during my days off except to play catch-up with experience deposits.

------------------------------
Actually, it is more than 906. As long as humantarget52 keeps on depositing, the points that each each level requires also increases. Any way, congratulations on reaching level 9. (level 9 is the level that I like the least. ) I will be off level 9 and get my boxing glove in 2 days. ;)

I am for exp it can determine that if you have a lvl up at 23 you have been on the portal more than someone who signed up a year ago but has a higher VP

A theoretical maximum of 16.00 VP is quite a bit already, but imagine what'd happen if that increased to 20, 25 or 30 VP - or even more.

Yeah 16 is high but a higher VP would be nice. My goal is to get 15.99 even if it takes 50 years when I am at lvl 29.

watches the noobs get mad.

I found this in my profile actually I was close so I spamed up to get it.

Ah, hello all!

I'm in a happy mood as my best friend returned from camp and I can't believe 5 days without seeing him really has made my week so boring. Ah well, let's be on with it.

Missing a few days of NG hasn't been that bad. I might not be able to live up to Recon's 40hr/week shift of the website, but I guess I do worse in the holidays. Well done to everyone who has made lots of new records (MPA for 50,000 b/p, Bonus for 1 year and DAVE for 6,666 posts).

Anyway, I have a story to write up tonight (thanks to everyone who enjoyed the last chapter) and I've still got to finish it. I think it's starting to warm up...slightly.

Myst_Williams - I'll put Tales of Alkador on Free World soon. Just one final read and the paste tool all the way.

How is everyone?

Congrats to:

Level-up to 11 this morning.

War of the Portal - Part 4
4 - “Icy Lands”

The roflcopter flew over artic ice as cold winds chilled the world. Denvish hugged himself as he stared at all the various lumps of serac and ice below him, rising like a spiked chasm of icy hills.
“This place is amazing,” said _lightning_ as he looked in awe. “It’s so cold too!”
“I’ve never,” Said a stunned Denvish. “Seen anything so beautiful!”
Red lights flashed above them as the commander demanded what was happening.
“Unknown unit approaching four miles behind us. We will land at the base of the pinnacle in minus sixty T seconds.” Said ReconRebel as the roflcopter moved faster forwards.

Alkador looked to the back window to see a strange dot in the distance, trying to see what it was.
“It could be a submission,” He said. “But it’s too…bright.”
The roflcopter jolted as it touched solid ground. Icy air blasted into the small compartment. Everyone shivered as they quickly hopped out.
gfoxcook stared up as he swore at the oncoming creature. It was not a submission, but a huge falcon, ready to catch easy prey
“What the hell do we do?” Cried _lightning_, speaking over the sound of the screaming blizzard.
“I’ve got an idea.” Smirked ReconRebel. “Alkador, can you play baseball?”
“Not really, w–“
ReconRebel snatched the bat out of Alkador’s hand, kicking a block of ice of the ground with his feet until it hovered over his head. He closed his right eye as he stared at the brown falcon, baseball bat behind his back. He saw the icy ball fall down with the corner of his eye as he slammed all his energy onto the object, striking it directly towards the falcon that had its talons open to catch the man. The icy block smashed into the falcon’s head as it squawked, falling the ground unconscious. Ice shattered as it tore into fragile fragments, body motionless.
“It’s getting really cold here,” said gfoxcook as he rubbed his hands. “If we stay here too long, we won’t be able to leave as our engine will freeze!”

The group quickly moved uphill as they suddenly fell through the hard ice, into a slightly warm cave. The continued to walk further downwards, moved by curious excitement and a sense of journey. The entered a huge domed cavern that seemed to be a huge sphere within the heart of the mountain’s pinnacle. Pink crystals shone attached to the cave walls as the group stared in awe. The floor of the room seemed to contain a mysterious warmth about it, seeming to have a soft air drift from the floor. The pink crystal floor shone as gfoxcook gasped, walking to the floor and placing his hand on the pink crystal. He moaned in pleasure as his hand radiated a light of blue.
“This is perfect,” Said the guard. “Never before have I seen so many stones in such a number. So powerful!”

“Quo vadis?” Boomed a deep voice as the group jumped, wielding weapons looking around at the echo that roared around them.
“Who goes there…?” Muttered Alkador under his breath, translating ancient tongue. “Pax tecum,” He said as he tried to find the source of the voice. “Mei nomen Alkador. Quis vobis?”
“Stamper.” Said a person cloaked in grey robes, which materialized in the very centre of the room. The others slowly walked to him as Alkador spoke ancient to the man, who replied back. It was obvious that this man could not speak any English, but was one of the old ones, an ancient.
“Who is this guy?” Asked Denvish.
“He has been her for thousands of years. The portal stones have kept him close to his times. But he says we should leave at once or we’ll awaken the ancient monsters.”

“Ancient monsters?” gfoxcook picked up a large portal stone the size of his hand as he looked around. “What could possibly go wrong?”
The walls shook as some loose crystals fell onto the floor. “Foedo vakka!” Cursed the ancient. He had no need to speak as a powerful six foot blade formed in his hand. He yelled at the group.
“He says to get out now, they’re coming!” Gasped Alkador.
“No way is he staying here,” Demanded _lightning_. “He’s coming with us!”

It's ok, I'm not saying it's sick to do it, I'm saying it would make me sick. It wasn't a blame of anything ;)

my god...
we could have discovered the cure for concer with all that energy XD hahah.
i would guess that im on my comp for around 25 hours a week... maybe 30.
but i live in australia, so i can look forward to around 25 b/p a day from several hours voting XD haha.

Are you kidding, my dad said i'm getting a tricked out computer for senior year when i'm heading off to college, and every day for those 10 years (if i indeed get into med) I'll make SURE to drop some points on my account, and definitely deposit, and for god sakes i've thought of even like giving my account to any little boy i may have (again assuming NG stays up that long) :P, now tell me, who's addicted?

ROFLES>>>
you my friend would be one of the most addicted users :) haha.
we got Zero who posts a damn lot... Bone-us who's posted + b/p'd like a mad man for around one year now...
and we've got Ramagi who over the past 6 months has gone BBS WHORE CRAZY, and has always been a portal freak too haha.

Also, congrats to:

High_Roller - Level 11

I am just two deposits away from level 10 now. But it is the only good news today. I don't think that I will spend too much time on NG during the weekend as I have to study hard formy psychology final exam which will be very brutual. :'( What makes me feel more depressed is that I only ranked up by 3 spots after gaining 51 b/p points yesterday. But any way, I will take it. I am trying to have 4000+ b/p points before going up to level 10. However, I don't think that I can make it due to the slow speed of the portal and my schedule of exams. But at least I will say goodbye to the n00b status (level 1-9) in 2 days which is great.
P.S Congratulations on everyone who ranked up, especally MBA. (getting 50000 b/p points)

Just got 8 888 protection points. Lucky numbers.
