Maybe that's when all the other stuff screwed up.

I noticed! Congratz Gratz Gratz, and thank you for making the top 50 list have one less Staff Sergeant!

Now if only Cadji would get 50 points, or frogtoe would pass him again or SOMETHING. COME ON, PEOPLE! #;-}>

It was going on at around 11:45-12:00 CDT.

It's happened to me before, almost exactly the same. First time it happened, got the level 30, exp was shown as XXXX/XXXX instead of XXXX/Xtnl, voting power was +1%, and users with profiles and total users were not listed... BUT, first time my age changed from 25 to -8... this time my age stayed 25, but I got the - voting power error. Specifically... -15.75 votes, which with 28% bonus becomes -20.16 votes. heh. I voted on about 4 movies with that error before it stopped, I didn't notice if it affected my blams and saves.

You noticed your voting power was +1% but you didn't notice the level 30 icon? They always happen together, as far as I've noticed.

Hey gfoxcook, check out the saves. Still think you can catch me? I am the wind.

Hahaha! Surprise pal! You have a long wait ahead of you. Go get a hot dog.

I didn't log on today till around 3:30 EST, so I missed the whole level 30 error thing. Although, when I went to the portal, I noticed that one of the movies highlighted in blue had a listed score of 6.35/5.00. I thought that was pretty odd..

Also, I'm wondering if anybody can help me with something. I finally managed to get a pic of myself, but can't seem to get it into my profile. I've gone into photoshop and resized it, but it still won't work. Anyone have any solutions?

What does the message say when you try to post it? Is the file size too big?

No message appears. It says that I have succesfully updated my profile and all, but the new picture is not there. Is it possibly because the file is a jpeg?

Ahah! I got it to work. Just changed the filename to a gif. Looks kinda fuzzy though..

You sure get around, buddy.

I think you meant the usual 50 exp points, not 10.

Well, and you probably meant "exp points" period, not "ex poitns," but anyway.

You think the top 50 protectors need lives but you took the time to complain, like every other level 9 noob who just found out that you have to deposit for months to get anywhere on the level ladder, in our lil' level up thread?

Now THAT's entertainment.

Don't need to, I check your profile fairly often, man. 4800+ last I saw. YEah yeah. You think I'll never catch you, but you can't be sure of that. What if you got bored of NG for a month or two. #;-}>

In any event, I'm just about to my goal of Praporshchik. I'll also hit level 12 around the same time, both are due by this weekend. Once those two events happen, I might slow down a bit, anyway. My current mini-goal is to be the 20th Praporshchik (I believe I can beat all the people above me in Sergeant Major except for Mr Chuckles, who is very very close to getting Praporshchik as we speak).

You, on the other hand, look poised to be the 13th Second Lieutenant. Congrats on passing vuorimies. Heretik should be no problem as he's been averaging about 20 points a WEEK right now, heh.

Don't be too hasty on that congrats gfoxcook. I've seen vuorimies rack up the points real fast, so I'm not holding my breath. Besides, I don't feel comfortable until I get 200 - 300 points ahead of the person behind me. I'm in a very shaky 14th position, but in a solid 15th spot. Now if I could just make the top 10.

Don't think so. Last time I checked I was sober. *Double checks*. Yep, sober..

It's actually just the fact that the height of my pic is 113, while the requirement is 150. So it stretches the height to reach the requirement, leaving it looking fuzzy and of low quality. Makes me look a little scrawnier, too. Oh well, have to take some more sometime, I suppose.

In the race to climb to the summit of the top 50 blam/save list all friendships are ignored. It's a case of every man for himself.

True about how fast he is, at least compared to most other people in the top 10-20 zone, but... eh. I feel fairly comfortable once I get a 100 point lead. The only time, and I mean only time, I've ever been passed since arriving on the top 50 list was when chaotic and alexsmolik jumped ahead of me while I was asleep. But I hadn't gotten more than a 50 point lead or so on them, so my 100 point lead theory is still intact.

Of course, 100 points is not enough if you're not going to be putting in at least an average day of blams and saves tomorrow.

You'll be in the top 10 in June, I'll bet. Might take me till August or so.
