Say Ramagi had 3000 whistle points(note: this is just an example) then if another user had 2999 only Ramagi would have the deity whistle as she has the highest number of whistle points, the other user only having 2999 doesn't equal the top number of whistle points so they wouldn't get the deity whistle and they'd end up with gold.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Can you see the whistle pts in our profiles?
Do you have access to whistle pts stats like the admins do?
Do you know how many whistle pts you'll gain from a deleted flash that you flagged?
Do you know how many whistle pts you'll gain from a deleted review that you marked abusive?

If not, then how the fuck do you know that the whistle levels work exatly like the experience system? Sure, it seems logical...

but it may be coded differently. A user with less than 1% (of ramagi's number) behind ramagi's amount of whistle pts could earn the deity whistle, right? Maybe it's not based on an exact amount, it could possibly be based on a gap.

I don't have the answer. Do you?

oh my

Why yes I do have the answer. Read this.

In particular this section of it:

"How does a user reach the "Deity" whistle status?"

"Only the user(s) with THE greatest number of whistle points are ranked at Deity. In this way, it is similar to Level 30."

Just because I'm only a level 10 it doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

At 10/15/05 02:44 PM, Afro_Stud wrote: Why yes I do have the answer. Read this.

oh...

so thejoe324 and ramagi were tied when they both had the deity whistle.

Flagging an abusive review that'll be deleted gives you one point. Flagging a review that won't be deleted will lower your amount by one pt.

Flagging a flash that'll deleted for breaking the
-stolen rule = ? pt(s)
-malicious rule = ? pt(s)
-unsuitable rule = ? pt(s)
Flagging a flash that won't be deleted for breaking a rule will make you lose ? pt(s)

For a flagged flash, it seems to be higher than 1 whistle pt but do you the exact numbers?

The season is going to be great, I can tell. :-D

Only a few days after THE SAME EXACT THING happened?! 5-5?!

Like I said. Great. :-D

Since when do two NHL teams ever BOTH score 5 goals in one game, let alone it happening twice in one week! Is this just a fluke, or did those changes they made to the rules while the game was shut down actually improve the offensive product?

It's definatly the rules, I think. Penalties are being called left and right. Hell, that Leafs game I was mentioning, there was pretty much a constant powerplay going for either team.

Bahamut 7 - ANARCHAOTIC didnt get 1337 saves I did >: ( Ehem*

This wasnt my first intent for posting but just now I decided I might add it in and I guess it wont hurt to ask, I hope at least 1 person will understand what im talking about.

In a post made by ramagi she said
"((Your current exp-400)/(level30 exp-400))*5 + 5 = VP"
( the post was
here ) I couldnt understand that (I know im stupid) and somehow I got an answer of 9556965.

What I did was 860- 400= 460 x 21176 - 400 = 20776 x 5 + 5 = 9556965
Here its easier to look at 460 x 20776 x 5 +5 = 9556965
I assumed *5 meant to multiply by 5 but i dont know.

Later I read Newgrundlings Voting Power FAQ & Rankings and still I just didnt get it.
I tried the formulas and im specifically interested in this one:

" so it simplifies things greatly to assume that both you and the lvl 30 user are depositing at 10 experience points per day. This changes the formula to:

BVPpD=50(Le-Ye)/(Le-400)^2

It's a low number, less than 0.004 for almost all users. Don't forget that this is just the change in your base voting power, so you should remember to add your Blam/Protection Rank bonus in, by doing the following:

TVPpD=BVPpD*(1+BPM)"

Again I know I got the wrong answer, and I dont know what ^2 means, or *5

So if anyone could just tell me what ^2 and *5 means or how im supposed to do it that would help alot .

This just might be my longest post to date, 3564 characters remaining, alright then.
Again Congrats to gfoxcook!

^2 means' to the power of 2' or 'squared' meaning that you multiply that number by itself.

eg.
1^1=1
2^2=4
3^3=9
4^4=16
etc.

*5 just simply means multiply by 5.

eg.
1*5=5
2*5=10
3*5=15
4*5=20
etc.

I'm honored someone else enjoys them. I was worried they were going 100% unnoticed.

Actually, this one has no deep meaning or anything. Once in a while, I hear/read a cool quote and really like it. This one came from watching a trailer for the game Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within.

Don't worry, I'll be back to the deep messages midnight tonight. :-)

That was weirdly phrased, man, but if I get your meaning... now that I'm done with gfoxcook's b/p, I'll be getting gfoxclock's b/p to 360/360?

Yes on purpose obviously.

While I probably WILL be close to 360/360 at some point with gfoxclock, that's not my goal. I just want to keep the blams and saves near each other. My short term goal is the next rankup (150/150), and beyond those few rankups left with the 100-b/p-gap, 500/500 for a 1000 total... and then 1000/1000 after that... are my main actual number goals.

Oh well those are good numeros to go after. I dont know if I will stop at even xx,000 number or keep going plan is de ladder.

But if it takes till 2006 to get to 1000/1000 on gfoxclock, I don't give a damn. I'm totally not in a rush to b/p anymore.

You gets there when you gets there. My alt hasnt reach 100 saves but I have over 240 points

This is the life! I no longer worry about the UJ shit in the portal if I don't want to. Hell, I think I got 4 points today. And 0 on Wednesday or Thursday... can't remember which. See?!?! I don't even remember which day I got 0 points on.:

I cant rember the last time I got 0 points winter 04 more than likely

I AM FREE! #;-}>

FALLING

Oh, okay. I missed those parts. Maybe he sees the "you have this much exp till level 9" part and thinks he's already level 9 when he deposits while level 8.

Makes sense, right? If it keeps happening, that must be what's confusing him.

Thats a just reason and correct.

(snop)

36,000 blams and 24,000 saves minus the 2 extra saves from flagged flash. ok.

What I did was 860- 400= 460 / 21176 - 400 = 20776= .022 x 5 + 5 = 5.110
Here its easier to look at 460 / 20776 x 5 +5 = 5.110

Hi everybody.

A while ago I got 40,000 points. Then recently a lot of flagged movies were deleted and I had a much nicer 40,004 points.

But that is completely insignificant compared to my alt account's achievement of 1,000 points, which is a tenfold better than gfoxclock.

Umm, congrats to everyone who did something since August and anyone who didn't can die in a sea of pudding for all I care.

Super congrats to EK for 41k, more super congrats to Wylo for 28k blams and making me unretire due to a possible b/p race. And minor congrats to gfoxcook for 60,000 points (yawn). Gfoxclock however gets fame, fortune and every cookie on the internet for his totally awesome rank.
