IvanTuroc - Level 12

Thanks Bahamut but I was pwned by HT52 and dropped back to level 11 for another day. I kind of saw that one coming. Its why I didn't post after the deposit at midnite. Congrats on 9000 blams.

Congratualtions ReconRebel on getting level 20. The hammer icon is most bodacious I think. I apoligize for not noticing sooner considering we have been passing info back and forth lately.

Finally...30,000 b/p points, a new shiny badge, and a nice .33 VP boost.

Hello all! Wishing everyone a congrades to everyone on a level and/or rank up......

whaattt, how the fuck can you guys get b/p so much :S

Congrats to ReconRebel on lever 20 !

Somehow that level seems to suit you ?!?!

i got one-thousand posts.

well, this isn't really a big deal, but i had to share it here, because if i made a topic, i probably would've gotten banned.

yay for 1k.

2000 blams.

Elite Guard Sergeant. Sorry for the double post.

I believe I congratulated Recon on his awesome level 20ness back when me and MPA were talkin' bout our level 16ness (well, me on my alt, of course, he on his main)... but I guess it took two or three days to stick, eh? Congrats on finally getting it for good, man. By the time I'm up to level 20 come January 1st, 2006.... I'll probably have been hitting it and getting knocked back to 19 for the final 3 or 4 days of 2005. Such is the way of things in teh NG exp system.

Eh, you weren't the only one to do it, either. One other person decided to double-vote with an alt. You silly bastards. #;-}>

Cool i would be 37th I am almost at 30,000 pionts

Then ya just gotta get a second stat up to 10k, eh? Did you notice you got a mention on last week's update, BTW? In the 1x10k section (i.e. the "halfway or more there" mentions #;-}>).

4,444 Saves you may think well thats good but it has more on my 4,444 blam and post. I posted in this thread. IT shows that protects are hard to come by.

4444 saves is better than 99.5% of NG has. Maybe even 99.9%, come to think of it...

I think I've only missed around 5 or 6 deposits in the entire 2 year life of that account, actually.

I was referring to the fact that THIS account used to be level 16, and it's been nearly a year since it has. I've missed being level 16, so at least now my alt gets to be it for a few months.

And then in a year or so, my ALT alt will probably hit 16, so... the fun never stops! (actually, it stops after my alt alt hits 17, I guess. ;_;)

...

and now, just a little note about something I noticed but was too busy to comment on when I was posting as gfoxclock in here on pages 1205 and 1207:

hey would have has much as gfox around there I guess.

Well, it's possible he might, but I wouldn't be so sure. Also, either Marcus or Bonus said they thought Toocool would be around #1 or #2, and I just don't think that hanging with MPA or ramagi, even if he WERE blamming all the time along with saving... would be realistic. See, IMO... Just blamming or just saving... is such a very different process than b/ping like most people do.

When you're only focussing on one stat, things are simple, though points come slower overall: you either get the point you want, or you don't (whether you vote incorrectly or just don't vote at all because it's sooooo bad (if you're going for protects) or soooooo good (if you're going for blams) and you have no chance of getting the point whether you vote or not, see?).

When you're trying for maximal blams and saves (which I rarely am, BTW, because I'm trying to keep my blam-to-save ratio under 1.5 in preparation for my 36k/24k retirement), you have new problems:

You could get the blam.
You could vote to blam but it's saved.
You could get the save.
You could vote to save but it's blammed.
You could get mixed up/distracted IRL and vote incorrectly on either type of point.
You could be too late (already in graveyard or protected) two different ways.

etc. etc. etc.

So while Toocool could have gotten a lot of blams along the way had he not been a saveaholic and a blamophobe... I really doubt he'd have around 24,000 saves with 36,000+ blams (you'll notice I just mentioned my retirement stats... but it's a coincidence as I'm heading for 24,000 saves and Toocool's just gotten to that range... and with 36k blams he'd have around 60,000 which would put him not too far behind MPA about now). It's just not in his nature, anyway, to blam a ton of shit, so the whole thing's a moot point.

Now, if someone ELSE got their hands on Toocool's account... that's another story. :::nods:::

i reached level 12 during my 30-day ban so and this has been my first chance to announce it. so, um yeah. level 12. woot.

anyways, DANG haha.

Recon - i dont think i ever actually congradulated you on leveling up - SO CONGRATS FEWEL.
the mallet of oppression does suit you, yes :D

WOW ReconRebel - you are going further than the outer reaches of space - congrades on the 20th and just think when you reach 21 you are allowed to drink...............wait nevermind you beat me to the punch lol..............congrades old chum!!!!!

Level 15! Chain>Pipe. 14th on b/p list, one more place and I can finally see my name without scrolling down. I got some other stuff (like 35k points) but with the really good stuff coming up, like 36k, 26k blams-10k protects, I'll have no reason to miss a screenie (I'll give a warning when I get closer just in case I miss it).

Congrats to cheese for level 12, Recon for the hammer (you can never be congratulated too many times), and CyberPunk for 4k blams and 3,333 posts.

Thanks Ivan, and no apologies are necessary. You can't be expected to congratulate every single accomplishment. Not unless you're a debutante trying to break into high society (lol). It's not my favorite icon but the skull crusher does look pretty cool.

Hay what can we say? The guy has it going on. It looks like you may be clear to get level 12 at the end of the week without slipping back for a day. I am not really sure on that however. So don't quote me. In any case, its only one more day.

BLAMS: Involved in the termination of 9,119 crappy entries.
SAVES: Assisted in the protection of 2,883 quality entries.

That makes it over 12000 b/p. Too bad I didn't get it exactly 12000 b/p, but I'm happy getting 12000 b/p.

BIG CONGRATS TO ALL

So, I just wanted to explain myself quickly. I apologize for not keeping up, so congrats to everyone I have missed over the past month or so. Also, I apologize for not really keeping up as much as I should be in this forum.

I have been really busy saving money for university, plus trying to spend some time with all my freinds partying and what not while I can - before I move that is. It has just been a busy, but fun summer. Hopefully I will keep up more congratsing etc for the rest of the summer, but if not, I will be back again and dedicated come September when I move away and start school again.

Was it a long weekend in the US too, or just here in Canada? If so, I hope everyone had a fun drunken long weekend like I have been. : )

Todays achievement was brought to you by the number 4. Because I got:

4444 blams

Well no need to go fast forever once I reached 30,000 I would of stopped for sure, but now I have no pace. Well considering my sign up date and my rate it was pretty good. Even though I started blaming late after I signed up. I would of gotten there soon, but it would of wasted my whole summer for a new shiny badge image. It's just a picture. Life goes on.

Yep, it does start to get pretty tiresome after a while. Especially if you get the final badge, I would expect mostly any person to stop (or atleast slow down), considering the only thing you're doing is gaining higher ranks and numbers. I don't think people should just spend all their time getting b/p points, just maybe an hour or so at a time, to get a fair number of points, and then do other things, and not force yourself to get to the next badges as quickly as possible. That way you don't have to waste lots your summer with one thing like blam/protecting for hours at time, but still know you're gaing some points too by spending just a little time.

Congrats to:
madknt: Top 1000 exp rank. Great job, now all you can do is keep getting better ranks.
RoweNuts: 30000 b/p points, woah, the final badge, the big one, the badge you've been working for! Major congrats on that.
lilane: 1000 posts. Good job on getting that, 1000 is a good solid number for any stat.
-Osaka- : 2000 blams plus Elite Guard Sergeant. Two things nearly at once. Nice double whammy.
cheesebizkit : Level 12, yay 12, my favorite level icon. Woot!
-CyberPunk- : 4000 blams and 3333 posts, awesome, both great things to get to.
Qwoxyl: Level 15, you're certainly close to that next big screen for 26K blams and 10K saves.
Coop83: Ranked 1000 for exp. Round numbers are lovely aren't they? You'll be ranked 500 sooner or later.
IvanTuroc: Level 12, looks like you won't drop again, yay! (unless you miss a deposit or two) but that won't happen right?
Bahamut7: 12000+ b/p points. It's tough to be exact but you got the number and higher is better anyway.
