Because it seems like you meant to type WRATH, you see. Unless you were playing Starcraft (which IIRC features a vehicle for teh Terran race called a Wraith).

17, is a lot. I've only been to 4 other countries except for Sweden. Though we're considering traveling to Czech.

I've been to 25 or so countries myself. Mostly in the 80s and a bit in the 90s. I haven't been out of the United States (unless you count brief one-day border-hops into Canada and Mexico) in 10+ years, though.

I had quite the travel-filled childhood, all over East Asia and Europe.

randomness time. I made this last week, but I posted it in the pentalist topic and I'm not that sure that many people saw it. Sooo... REPOSTING it here, in honour of Bonus and ramagi's 10kness. Let's just hope the autopruner doesn't cause them to have to spam like mad to get back to 10,000, eh!?! (kidding, you guys! kidding! #;-}>)...

At 6/9/05 01:02 AM, ReconRebel wrote: A.) Do I still get the blam point if it's removed from the portal?

We're supposed to, but if you've ever heard Dogma complaining about this over the past couple of years... then you'd know that most people don't get very many blams (if any) when the whistle lists are cleared, EVEN THOUGH they have indeed whistled some entries and also voted to blam a TON of entries that ended up getting whistled (and yes, we're supposed to get the blam points when those entries get deleted, even if we just voted to blam but didn't whistle as well).

There's just something faulty in the innards of the system. This has been proven throughout 2003 and 2004 by Dogma and myself and others who keep careful track of our own b/p (in my case, every single day), and we are positively certain we've not been granted all the blams we should have (hey, I ain't complaining... I like my save2blam ratio being high #;-}>... but it always pissed Dogma off, that's for sure). It IS possible that it's fixed now... but I doubt it. So.... in short, if something gets whistled after you've voted on it/whistled it, consider your blam or save gone forever.

This is why movies that are getting blammed anyway, BTW, shouldn't be whistled. Not only does it deprive 100+ people of their blam point, but it clogs up the whistle list that Wade will eventually just dump months later... AND... it stops the "3 blams within a certain time period = ban from submitting" magic. Only stolen/abusive/obscene movies that are getting SAVED should be whistled, IMO. So vote first, whistle second.

B.) Do I get separate whistle points for catching it twice even though it's the same submission?

You get an amount of points towards your whistle power based on how many flashes (that you whistled) end up getting dumped to the graveyard by Wade. It doesn't matter what's in the .swf files or who the authors are.

7/5 of the population don't understand fractions ^_^

And the other 5.5/2 do but just don't give a damn.

At 6/9/05 11:45 PM, ReconRebel wrote: I had a feeling you'd still receive the point UndercoverStudios, I just wanted confirmation.

Unfortunately, the confirmation you got from him and RC is the way it's theoretically SUPPOSED to happen... but not how it actually happens in 95%+ of the time.

So is it the same for abusive reviews that are flagged? One whistle point per abusive review removed? I remember reading a post that said you get more whistle points for blowing the whistle as opposed to marking reviews.

No one but the admins knows how many "points" you get for anything, or how many points people like ramagi, TheJoe, and myself have. But yes, it has been said that flagged movies being deleted gets you more whistle points (and thus more power) than flagged reviews being deleted does. There are hundreds of flagged movies. There are tens of thousands of flagged reviews. It only makes sense that the laws of supply and demand apply.

...

anyway, a couple of random things I didn't feel like quoting but noticed while scanning the past 15 pages or so... and thus wanted to touch upon:

A) Bahamut... that framejob post on latingrounds was so OBVIOUSLY not you. I doubt very many people believed it at all. I knew it was teh lie when I saw it, and hell, I don't know your posting style all THAT well, but I knew it wasn't you saying that shit. #;-}>

B) regarding -5 ending exp amounts on NG and RG... I specifically avoided signing up for anything when I created all my NG accounts that would dump me with a -5 ending exp amount. The only cool thing about it would be 5555, after all. Whereas, -0 ending exp amounts are cool every 100 (or 1000, depending on your tastes) exp.

If anyone really wants to ditch the -5 on RG, let me know and I can admin the 5 away and leave you with a -0 ending exp amount. I've done it for myself and one or two other users.

annnnnnnnnnnd... one last thing:

As for inspiration from games, more or less lessons learned. I've learned so many lessons from them, and bits about real life as well.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised too. Heck, I know one user, and he likes the garbage whistle. But I guess some have it because of some reviews/flash that walk that fine line of whistleable, and non.

Does Wade remove abusive reviews on a regular schedule or only when he's not swamped with other stuff?

I do belive he does it whenever, which is every handful of months or so. I know he has a life/job/family and all, but he could break it all down into parts, and do it over the time he has for free time on NG. I sometimes think that NG needs another admin for stuff like that, and other times as well, but I guess the five we have now will do the best they can.

I'm having a shitty night on the portal.

Heh, I was as well. I couldn't mark anything, lost like... 20 points due to not catching them in time, and riding the line of blammed and saved. No pot luck that night, that's for sure.

Heh, I didn't plan on going to the store last night either, but, I had to get food, need it to survive. Maybe today I will, who knows. It all depends on the ammount of flash submited today that is good enough for a 2 from me, or passing material at that.

Only stolen/abusive/obscene movies that are getting SAVED should be whistled, IMO. So vote first, whistle second.

I thought so. Your "supply and demand" quote was a perfect analogy.

If anyone really wants to ditch the -5 on RG, let me know and I can admin the 5 away and leave you with a -0 ending exp amount.

I'm happy with my experience on RG, but could you secure the UOTD for me tonight?

Are you talking about Torty the flash with turtles it looked like. I saw that 3 times only whislted once.

Nope, it was a black & white video clip that showed some guy getting a certain extremity cut off with a pair of garden shears. Not suitable for Newgrounds so I blew the whistle on it.

Some people believe a high post count will gain them more respect with other users SCD. It's easy to tell who's posting for the sake of raising their post count * cough * ramagi * cough * and who's posting to make a genuine reply.

and all in one year, he must have nothing better to do than sit on NG.

Borderline insanity. I've never seen him post in here that often so he must be trying to make a name for himself in general. Let's hope he stays there.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised too. Heck, I know one user, and he likes the garbage whistle.

Does having a garbage whistle lower your voting power? I know on Retrogade your flag power can affect your voting power.

Does Wade remove abusive reviews on a regular schedule or only when he's not swamped with other stuff?

I do belive he does it whenever, which is every handful of months or so.

Ha! Usually when the masses start grumbling about how their whistle level hasn't gone up in ages.

I'm having a shitty night on the portal.

Heh, I was as well. I couldn't mark anything, lost like... 20 points due to not catching them in time.

It wasn't because I couldn't catch them in time Master_Inuyasha, I just couldn't vote correctly. One day the voters love stick movies/tutorials/dress-up games, the next day they hate them. Inconsistency has cost me more points than I can count.

I was 20 minutes late for work today. That's the first time in almost 4 years. Blame it on nocturnal activities.

Helping people out here is great, but don't we lose posts for locked threads with that new system LiL Jim is now using?

I think the profiles are fine, though, I like them this way. I just think that over 20 people with the highest rank is too much.

Yeah, it is becoming an epidemic now it seems. Somewhat rediculus, but meh.

Or like July if I don't leave my house.
But yeah, September seems pretty realistic.
Thanks!

Heh, probably. You could pull a Fixit and get it by then. I don't suggest going for it though. lol

Heh, now you have the last of the golden badges. I'll probably catch up to you, some day... *shakes fist*

As celebration let us all have a drink.

rofl You're too young kiddo. ;D

Not that I know of. All I know it does is lower your flagging power. Say, a user with a garbage whistle will be ignored, but the flag command will go into the data base. It's like a voting system I guess you could say[well, it's how I look at it], it takes a certain ammount of whistles to pull something for admin review, like a total of 20 points. I guess it would be like :

garbage - 0 points

normal - 2 points

silver - 4 points

gold - 6 points

deity - 8 points

But that's just a nutters way of looking at it. :/

Yeah, that does seem to be the key.

Ah, I've had days like that as well. Or ones where everyone votes high on crap. People will put a fancy pre-loader on it, or a few seconds of good flash, then it turns too crap. Some people don't watch it, vote whatever, in most cases 5 because alot of users only vote 0 or 5, and the crappy flash passes. :/

But oh well, it's just the way it goes at times, no big deal I guess.

Ouch. Hopefully you won't be docked pay or anything.

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. Look at it this way, you helped that user, they are greatful. Isn't that enough? I mean, it's just a stat you know, a few measly posts will be lost from your account, probably no less than 40. So don't sweat it, it's better to help them if you can, rather than worrying about your post count going down.

true, but if your a Where is/ How to regular and that's all you do you won't have any posts or barely any. I mean the evidence of you helping that person is gone forever. How can the regulars nominate you if they don't know if you've done anything. I don't know how the whole lock delete process goes. Since they are deleting locked topics. Will they lock the topic, then delete the topic a few days later. I dunno.
