Congratulations, IKRU, but you are still a bit far away from the gread nunchaku level =P

Wonder if i will make the whole day being this level.

I'd say you are pretty much safe now.

Still haven't missed a deposit since I first joined. What you think about that?

Now that's really amazing, I've missed about one or two months worth of depositing, I should be a level 18 by now >=(... anyway, keep up that awesome streak

Once a day at 4:45AM Newgrounds Time.

Ok, press printscrn (nothing appears to happen, but...), open Paint/Photoshop/etc and press Ctrl+V (paste). Once you have your pasted stuff, edit the image by using crop/select and use Attributes/Canvas Size to change the size (400 width, 300 height max). Then Save As either a gif or jpg. When you post, click the Browse button and get your picture.

Press the PrtScrn button on your keyboard to take a snapshot of your screen. Then, open up Microsoft Paint (it should be in your Start menu, in the Programs menu, under Accessories; or you can click Run in the Start menu and type "paint" without the quotes to run it). Paste in the screenshot and use Paint's selection tool to select the part you want to post. Select Copy in the Edit menu, and then select New in the File menu (yes, you do want to discard your changes). Select Paste in the Edit menu, and then select Save in the File menu. Change the file type from Bitmap to JPEG Image. Save the pic, and attach it to your BBS post. Voila.

because i think that it can take around 15-20 minutes for them to finish...
this page normally updates at around 4:30 if i remember correctly...

yaya, both good explanations from SK n QwoxRoxmySox... :D

im going well... but no level ups thus far :)

Omg out of 200 possible points today I only got 80. I could of sworn I gotten above 100 today. I was on at 6:00 a.m. - 7:35 a.m. , 11:05-12:00 p.m. then like 3:00 p.m. - 9:20 p.m. Pacific time. I was pretty accurate on my votings too. You think it's right?

Thank you, but gfoxcook's was better. Gah, now I feel really bad. I still love you.

But i dont consider you under rated i consider you highly rated....

Really? I guess I considered myself under rated because few people knew me. I think I was talking about General more, but I've rarely posted in NG's peak time at 7 or 8pm, which is very shocking. I don't know what to really say...is that a good thing or a bad thing? I don't really care what you think, but honesty is always the best. I'm really not sure myself.

Thank you gfoxcook. I've never had an admin on my screenshots before, so I like this. It makes it look more professional anyway. But I can understand as to why you wouldn't want it on your screens, as it seems to ruin the picture in a small way. But, I don't mind and I guess that's why I asked. =P

At 4/17/05 02:37 PM, Bahamut7 wrote: Yes. Bahamut = Dragon. My best thing on NG is blamming. So it makes sense. :)

Gah, I wonder if you know the other origins of Bahamut. Game summons and monsters really interest me as I have a liking to learning about mythological gods, creatures and such. Apart from being in Final Fantasy since the very first game, he is also a Platinum dragon in AD&D (won't go into that here) as the King of Dragons (Recon can explain more if you ask him).
I also learnt of late that Bahamut does actually come from a direct link based in real life. If you have heard of Wiccan (D0GMA knows a bit there), Bahamut is centralised as the King of Dragons, from memory that is. I remember talking to Aasha (NG user...not my type) and she briefly told me of this. So hopefully this new knowledge is of some interest to you.

I was shocked as well. It seems you've made a boyfriend with little children, as I suspected. Nah, randyrandy is a really nice person and I haven't seem him spam or post irregularly, so I think he's good. Now I feel guilty for killing him! I remember him first coming onto the BBS a while back, so it's good to see farmiliar faces again and I like to see people I remember, despite the fact I don't know them much.

Goodness, it must have been another place I posted this story in. Maybe some other writing club or crew that was around at that time. It was nearly a year and a half ago, maybe a few months after joining Newgrounds. You got it right and that's ok I guess. I might post one of the chapters when I'm not embarassed enough to put it there. Actually, on second thoughts, I'll put the first chapter (or prologue) of Tales of Alkador in the place so you can have a happy, long read. I've only made the first chapter, so it will be an interesting read. Well, that's how I found it.

And you're a little thief, aren't you? ;P

Hey thanks a heap. A few people have wanted this to be turned into a flash, but I don't think I could do it. I'm glad you like it and I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of the chapters as well (hopefully). I looked at this 'Newgrounds Experience' movie and I feel guilty as to asking them if they could develop something. Of course, it would take them a lot of work, and that's a reason I don't want to ask them anything. Anyway, thanks for reading it and I really appreciate your comments. ^_^

Anyway, how is everyone? I think I'm gfoxcook's son!

War of the Portal - Part 4
3 - “Problems”
Note: I hope no one gets angry.

“We are defenceless!” Muttered _lightning_ as he stormed down the corridor. With YoinK_VineS currently holding his own rod, they had no portal stones to defend ourselves if anymore clans of submissions intended to pass through the city and name it their home.
“Well we can’t just sit here and growl about it!” Roared Inuzuka-Kiba. He stopped breathing for a second to realize he had lost his patience. Everyone had.

“Everyone in the lounge please.” ReconRebel repeated as he went through all the rooms. It was rather strange that the group had befallen frenzy and some began to fight with others. When everyone, who squabbled, was present in the lounge, Crono- cleared his throat.
“Now can everyone please calm down,” He said in a cool determined voice. “If everyone is going to fight, we’ll never get anything done.”
“Then what do you suggest we do?” Mumbled carmelhadinosaur.
“We are unsure,” Responded gfoxcook. “But now that we are here, we can all decide on a method of keeping ourselves safe without the use of the portal stone.”
“What if another black cloud were to gather,” Mentioned RedCircle. “I’d think we’d be in a bit of trouble then, don’t you?”
“Ok, you just need to think about it,” Sighed Denvish, now an Elite Guard Supreme Commander. “We’ve or some of us have used the portal stones to protect ourselves before. Why don’t we just find another one?”
“That’s a dangerous idea,” Said ReconRebel in a concerned voice. “Most portal stones are found within the portal.”
“Not necessarily,” Said Eldarion as everyone turned to face him. “I remember once there were some tiny glitters at that geothermal vent. I think portal stones form where the connection between the world and the portal are stronger.”

“There has to be another way,” Said XkwiziTOnE, who ate a butter muffin. “I mean, there has to be some place in the city that has a stone or even some cave.”
“There was one place,” Alkador said. “I read about in stories. There was an old man that was said to live in a cave of jewels south of the city where the ice begins to stretch.”
“Not all stories are true you know,” Said Qwoxyl in a disagreeing tone. “Some are made by people to make the world seem more magical than what it is.”

“Qwoxyl, calm down.” Said gfoxcook. “We can always take TheJoe324’s method of transport.”
“Not everyone can fit,” Added the_phantom_spancker. “Who’s going to go?”
“We will take the people most capable,” Said the man. “Those who are strong and capable.”
“And who may those be?” Pondered XwaynecoltX, giving Alkador a cold stare.
“I would like to nominate myself as I am the only one in this room as of current that has capable skill in using the Power. Then ReconRebel an–“
“You’re choosing commanders!” Grunted Afterburner, who felt everyone was being excluded. “Why not give other people a chance?”
“Let me choose,” Said ReconRebel, feeling that gfoxcook had spoken for too long. “Alkador.”

At once, a huge debate occurred between the group, some saying they didn’t want to go and others saying they didn’t care. Others saying that they had more potential than the man. Alkador looked around, unsure what to say. After the complaining had died down, ReconRebel spoke again.
“And Denvish and _lightning_. Who else do you want to come gfoxcook?”
Everyone nodded as they looked to the guard. “the_phantom_spancker.”
At once, the group dispersed and the six walked towards the back room, where they quickly began to speak.
“Do you know exactly where this place is Alky?” Asked Denvish.
“I think so,” He said. “It’s shouldn’t be too hard to find. It was said to be before a great pinnacle peak.”
“We’re here.” Said gfoxcook, looking at the medium sized helicopter. It wasn’t any normal helicopter, but the legendary roflcopter.
Everyone boarded as the roof above them opened instantly. Wind tore everywhere as the launch pad lifted the roflcopter to concrete ground. gfoxcook and ReconRebel took piloting as they slowly lifted themselves up, with the continuous sound of ‘rofl’ occurring every time the blades spun.
The two set throttle forwards as the roflcopter turned to face southeast of the city. The mansion was situated northwest of the city and sunsets were a beautiful sight. The machine quickly flew without trouble as it passed over the tons of debris that seemed like litter in the city. There were many unexplored streets and alleys, possibly even people still in hiding.

The roflcopter passed over the city as it flew over grassy plains, plains that would have once situated endless grains of sand. After a time of flying, a white peak became visible in the far distance, slowly rising from the horizon it carefully hid under. The group smiled as they moved onwards, hopeful.

hahahaha, not even 5 years to reach level 29? huge mistake there.

You forgot to consider the daily increase of the minimum requirement of the levels above 10 because it will certainly take (for almost everyone) more than 5 years to reach the level 29.

Check this topic if you want to calculate the period of time that you will need to wait before reaching the levels above yours.

There must be. The current requirement to hit level 29 is about 18,500, and I'm currently on nearly 8000. So if we call it a 10,000 point gap for argument's sake, and I close that gap at half a point a day, it'll take around 20,000 days, or over 50 years.

Congrats all, if you are indeed worthy of such kudos.

I will have to know more about Bahamut other than just the FF ones, but as long as I seem to stick the FFIV Bahamut on NG things, I'm happy. :) *boasts as Bahamut EG badge XD*

Anyway, this one was okay, not much to say about it considering it's a "filling holes" one. Hopefully, everyone will understand you just CAN'T keep on bringing twenty characters everywhere just to make sure they all got to say something in the story.
