Even without the bonus the few people got when it was possible to get it people would still be complaining because of the increases.

Aye, it is. I don't mind working five years for something that someone else worked for five years, too; that's not unfair, but when I have to work for five years that they worked for 6 months, and if what they got after five years is something I'll basically NEVER have, then I think the system is broken indeed, yes. >_>

Of course, if higher levels didn't come with an increase in VP, I would be more likely to just say "eh, it doesn't matter all that much". I'd still be annoyed, but less annoyed than I am now...

The changes will evenually happen just not right away I just hope I can get to atleast the next level before the changes do happen but I highly doubt it though.

Yeah... who knows, that might be difficult. I'm still wondering whether I'll be able to reach level 16 before the new levels, myself; it should take less than four weeks now, but who knows for how much longer the redesign will be delayed. :P

I'm on my break from work again, and this stupid computer doesn't have flash installed so I can't vote on movies, so no exp >:(

I'll make a list later when I get home

You're 60 behind me, so missin like 4 days will still make me a head ;p

Oh you Emo lover! Na jokes man, it should be good fun!

Yes, Shanus <3's the emo *Sacrasm*, and I have many a plan for what I'm goin to do while MCR are on stage

Well sorry to break your spirit and everything but ive made 65 already today :-P. Jokes man, your doing well for a newly aged 18 year old. Who can blame you?

Well on fridays I do alot of travelling, and the weekends I work pretty much till the night. The week days are my main point givin days, but this also means if it's slow, I got relatively no points, I've been hovering over 25 B/P per day for about a week now, it's so unfair

Congrats to:

Simple explanation really.

Well, considering my own target would be 1,000 reviews... maybe it's best if you looked above and read those comments ;)

Which exactly?

The fact that it was Imacow, rather then MadCow...

Why not? It's how it has been for a fair few years now. There is no other way to earn experience.

At 3/2/07 03:51 PM, Eyseicle wrote: Define "sliding scale". Does that mean my EXP goes down over time?

The gap between levels will increase exponentially over time, as the level 30 user deposits expereince. The gap only increases a small amount each day for level 9-10, but the gap for higher levels gets bigger, quicker. A missed depsoit can set you back three or four days at my level and 3 or 4 weeks at level 25+

The reason why the system was made this way was to promote people to deposit their EXP. But it seem that has backfired since most people stop depositing at level 9 when they see that gap. When I first got to level 9 I needed 924 exp points to get to level 10. Now it is 1200+ and this was over a year ago. I personally think if the NG staff were to change the system why not fix it like the B/P system and cut the EXP needed in half. That way anyone could get to the top and not get penalized for missing EXP. Because lets face as I said before adding new levels to jsut cut the EXP in half won't do anything at all but slow down the problem. Evenually it will be back to the same thing later on.

Of course, if higher levels didn't come with an increase in VP, I would be more likely to just say "eh, it doesn't matter all that much". I'd still be annoyed, but less annoyed than I am now...

So I see now so it annoys you more because of the higher levels come with extra VP. Most of the people I seen complaining about it being so hard to level up gripe about just getting to the next level most of them don't bitch about the VP.

You got a point there with the delays. there has been a lot of them. if the redesign was on time I don't think I would have made it to level 13 level alone 14 were I am not. I won't get to level 15 until sometime in august. If I get to level 15 which I doubt I am willing to bet a lot of people will be pissed off.

Yup... I'd definitely be for fixed-scale levels, too.

So I see now so it annoys you more because of the higher levels come with extra VP. Most of the people I seen complaining about it being so hard to level up gripe about just getting to the next level most of them don't bitch about the VP.

It's a bit of both really, actually. I realise not everyone can have a 14+ VP, but, goodness, it's difficult enough to even get to 10 (even when you're an EGSC) unless you've been here since the beginning. (10 is still attainable, of course, but still.)

Of course, whether you've got 10 or 11 VP probably doesn't make a huge difference in practice, but it's yet another thing that says "the old users are and always have been more important than you'll ever be".

You got a point there with the delays. there has been a lot of them. if the redesign was on time I don't think I would have made it to level 13 level alone 14 were I am not.

*noddles* Yeah... I don't really recall when it was initially supposed to happen, but I'm pretty sure it was some time last autumn, so they're definitely quite late. :) Not that I personally mind, of course.

It is all about how you think of it. While some of the older user have more voting power then the newer users, that isn't true. There are many important people on NG who have very little voting power. and don't forget you can pass the older people with persistant depositing thought it will take time. So many people gripe about that not only because of that, But they want to get to certain levels just as fast as the older users did. Sadly in life everyone can't always get what they want if that was the case pimp would have about 1,000,000+ other user sharing his spotlight.

the layout was suppose to be in november. Personally I am glad it wasn't then because if it was I wouldn't have gotten to one of my favorite levels. I don't mind waiting for the new layout to come because with each passing day I get closer to getting to level 15 were you are at now as you are on your way to level 16. Plus as I said before if the NG staff rushed through the layout, there could be bug in it and then there would be a whole lot of people making threads complaining about the problems.

Check out this nifty stat; Voting Power: 13.00 votes!

congrats on your vote power. I look forward to my next big increase in VP. About 1500 B/Ps away I think.

Thanks a lot Ivan. Not only a voting power increase but the final b/p rank too! Your 5th star bud! It'll be interesting to see what happens to your pace once you get there. Most people tend to slow down or stop altogether. Remember that even a few points each day makes it tougher for the other users to catch you.

BTW, when the new levels and ranks are introduced, will there be more vote power or will 16:00 still be tops? Anyone know?

Good question. I never thought of that but I'm guessing the vp ceiling won't change. I'm sure somebody will have answered it by the time I catch up in here. This topic grows like a magical beanstalk for crying out loud. :-P

Now congrat me on my level up to the nunchakus! WWWoot11!0! Level 16 has to be my favorite icon.

Big congrats Ivan. That's one of the most popular icons out of the bunch. The chain is still too long for pratical use, unless you plan on using them like a manrikigusari.

Ever eaten frog legs?

Neither have I. If you straighten the legs of a frog you will notice they are fashioned just like a man's legs only with web feet.

That didn't stop the dog down the street from biting me in the ass this morning. >:-(

And the frog stays squatted. But the resemblance is close enough to make me raise an eyebrow about evolution.

I think the Royal Family are a bunch of shapeshifting lizards myself.

So you think wolfie. How can you be sure they didn't do evil things to your temple? o_0

I guess you've never heard of casu marzu cheese from Italy.

*chuckles* I probably wouldn't try that cheese (and not other other kinds like the German spider cheese, either), but I think it's less icky than eating giant spiders.

I saw a special on strange foods from around the world and casu marzu cheese was one of the foods they spotlighted. I showed a large Italian family sitting around the table chowing down on the stuff. The older relatives seemed like they were actually enjoying it but some of the younger ones wouldn't touch it and looked disgusted with whole event. Now imagine you're a guest and you politely refuse the cheese appetizer. Being a foreigner they respect your wishes. Now you're into the main course which is a delicious rack of lamb (you're part wolf, you must like lamb) and as you're finishing the last bite you notice a maggot crawling on the edge of your plate. Think you could keep your meal down at that point? :D

What if it's some type of disease that could mutate and eventually be transmitted to humans?

*shrugs* To be honest, I'm much more worried about dying in a traffic accident than I am about some hypothetical virus.

Afraid of dying in a traffic accident? Never heard of that phobia. Got a name? Got a number?

Ever eaten baby, BTW? ;)

If those pics are for real then something is terribly wrong with this world. I've seen things that most will never see but that's immoral beyond comprehension . Shit wolfie, that's so freakin' depraved I don't know what to say.

Thanks. I missed a deposit on Tuesday due to excessive game playing on my new computer.

*noddles* That's a problem I don't have, fortunately... the new NG day starts at 6am for me, so no matter how long I stay up, it's never too late to deposit.

When was the last time you missed a deposit and how many do you think you've missed? I must be somewhere in the 60's or 70's.

How about comatose in a closet? I hope you packed a lunch. There won't be any meals served on this flight.

*chuckles* Airline food is usually not exactly great, anyway. But hey, just a few more months!

I remember one flight where they made an awesome potato salad. It was boiled potato cut into small cubes, chilled in the fridge, then served on iceberg lettuce with Italian dressing. I was lucky enough to get seconds (waived my rights to a complementary bag of peanuts).

Congrats on the 70k b/p points wolfie! I haven't been keeping track of your stats lately. Are you gaining on me or falling behind?

Gaining on you, I think, but only a very small amount... you'll be safe for quite a while. :P

If I hear someone outside my door saying, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down" I'll know you're about to pass me on the top 50 b/p list. ^_~
