I've still got more than a month left, by then I should have 10.00+ vp, so it won't be that bad.

Im ethier close to recon or have taken recon and im going for dl_monk as we speak i will have the 50th top blam rank and the 40th top blam and save!

Yea thats good, and thats my goal as well to accomplish in getting a 10.00+ voting power, that looks nice under the belt with save and blam points plus experience points........

The weird thing is I might not actually have 10.00 exactly... I've estimated based on how long it takes to get my vp up by .01 and how long it will take me to get to the next rank. And its POSSIBLE that both will be on the same day... So I would have 9.997 or something like that, and then rank up and get 10.15 (I haven't figured out how much exactly it would be by then)

hi ervery one i'm back i see that allot has changed even spancker is back now =) what els did i miss?? btw thanks again for deposeting for me rebel but too bad i didn't level up

Welcome back lightning. We've had a few additions to out club, they are:

Afterburner
Dogma
Thisisnotdobio
Crono

You might already know about one or two of them, but i wasn't sure when you left for your vacation.

Barring that, i don't think there were any other real big changes.

14 is my absolute most favorite. Especially because of the rust. It's so "hardcore street brutality."

10 and especially 12 are the worst by far in my opinion. After spiked thin leather gloves, boxing gloves? And with barbed wire wrapped around them you're not going to help things much.

I look forward to 13+ when the weapons start.

See, now this is where me and apparently everyone who likes level 14 differ. You see, we have entirely different reasons for liking level icons!

If I picked my favorites based on what the weapon would be like in person, then yes, a sturdy, slightly rust speckled, candy-cane-shaped pipe might be an AWESOME additional to my arsenal, and I would wield it with FIERCE ABANDON!

But until the day when Wade starts sending us weapons to match our icons arrives, I don't look at the icons and think "hmmm, that'd be cool IRL!"

The reason I like the icons I like is simply because they look nice. Either due to color, and how the color goes with the background auras or one particular aura, or because of the shape, appearance, texture, whatever.

The nunchaku just have the perfect crispness to the chain, and the black of the handles is nice, it just looks good as an icon on every single one of your posts. And that's why I want to be level 16, cause I want it as my avatar. Not because I want to wield it.

And that's why I hate level 14. I'm going to have to look at that damned pipe in front of the green background that makes it look even worse than the red does (and I ain't shifting my aura for no icon!)... look at it EVERY time I see my own posts while scrolling through topics! And it'll be in all my postcount screenshots! GLWESEGPESWGOSJEGBLARGH!

That's why I hate it so. Can you at least understand that?

As lame as boxing gloves, be they unadorned or wrapped in barbed wire, are as a weapon, they look NICE with blue or green backgrounds. Nice red color to offset the cool backgrounds. Bleh. Damned pipe.

i don't really like the level 14 icon too but i'll get a new one tommorow =)

Recon? Don't you mean lightning? #;-}> Cause man, you're just around HALFWAY to Recon's blams/saves...

Anyway, congrats to mojimbo on the level up, congrats-in-advance and welcome-back-even-though-I-already-did-in-the-memberlist-thread to lightning on HIS level up, and shouldn't both lightning AND spancker be ranking up any day now? CONGRATS ALL AROUND! #;-}>

Yeah, I passed by 7.00 and 8.00 due to rank ups, never had them exactly. Probably 6.00, too, can't remember.

:::refers to file:::

5.35% 5.99%
5.36% 6.00%

nope, I had 6.00. I was right in the middle of the police captain to elite guard private climb at the time.

5.61% 6.95%
5.61% 7.07%

skipped 7.00 due to hitting EG Master Sergeant.

5.95% 7.97%
5.95% 8.09%

and skipped 8.00 due to hitting EG Captain.

Anyway, would you prefer to hit 10.00 exactly, or do you just care about getting over the mark?

The chain is too long for practical use (it's easier to size cords and they're quiet). The icon look's (did I spell that right writer) good with a blue background. Watch out for that centrifugal force. It'll getcha!!

Wow that sounds great there, even if its 10.01 or 10.10 they both look good when you see your profile and its there lol, but when you do get that what are you going to do? are you going to Disneyland cause when i get my 10 i am thinking about going to Florida and play in the sand lol.......

I actually mentioned that you had pointed that out months ago somewhere on the BBS recently, maybe yesterday or day before. Heh. #;-}>

Well, you COULD use them to whip at people long distance, but you can't do the twirly stuff you're supposed to do with 'em, eh? #;-}>

Anywayyyyyyy. Like I said, looks over practicality, for me, seeing as how they're not real.

Oh, and since you asked, no... you didn't phrase it correctly. #;-}>

"The icon look's good" makes no sense whatsoever. You have two options:

"The icon looks good" - this would be the standard option, and the one you presumably were going for. It's just the verb ending for a singular noun. If you were talking about iconS, of course, it would be "the icons look good." IOW, most times, you put the s on the verb or you put it on the noun, but you don't put it on neither or both. #;-}>

"The icon's look's good" - while a strange way to put it, this is actually correct as well. icon's = of the icon (possessive), and look's in this case = look is (contraction). "The look of the icon is good," IOW, or "the icon's look is good." But when you make both 's, it does look and sound a bit weird. Still correct, though!

This concludes our English lession for the day. Any questions?

Well, I got one. Do I get paid for this? #;-}> Damn I need a job. :::goes back to sending out applications:::

That's why I hate it so. Can you at least understand that?

Hehe I understand your panic :P
I was really angry all the time I did have the level 14 icon ... but after these rough months you get the oh-so-cool level 15 icon yeah! The chain is so sweet-looking ... but not as the level 16's one hehe :P

I hope I'll get it soon :P

I want that chain, I only have to wait about 40 something days.....
