Oh believe me I won't.

Isn't it just so satisfying to vote 0 on a movie and then see the little BLAM animation of the film getting shot down:o)

The bestest animation is the whistle one though. It makes me want to put on my boogie boogie shoes! And it's so freaking hard to blow a whistle on a submission before someone else does.. only done it twice. (and both got the movies taken off)

Okay Impetus, with a post like that and the fact I've never seen the whistle video, can you possibly shed some light on what exactly happens?

EG Major, and never seen the whistle vid.. ..sir?

It's pretty neato, sort of a rave thing going on. Whistle icons dance around under colored spotlights to a disco beat of whistle sounds.

Do you mean all the different whistle level icons? Do they have a garbage whistle doing the twist? In any event it sounds cool. Thanks for the info bud.

Now I have the urge to find a movie to blow the whistle on so I can see that one again. That song is really catchy. I sometimes hear myself humming it out loud...LOL!!!

LEVEL GET!!! Oh wait, I'm only level 5. I am SUCH a newbie. Why the hell did I leave this site for 2 years, anyways? I'd be top 100 experience for sure if I'd gotten my 10 experience a day every day since I signed up.

And I have whistled one and exactly one movie. Ever. The whistle song was pretty neat. And I have gotten the blam animation once, and exactly once. That was classic - "You have destroyed someone else's hard work."

*sigh* only 30,000 more blams/protects until #1... I'm not even havfway to a level up there.

Wow. Do you drink coffee Insane_Steve?

And I think I've found the first real person that pisses me off on NG - that little retard canibus_clock is getting the whistle blown on him should he try the "submit an OK movie, replace it with a one frame piece of crap after it passes judgement" stunt again. I wouldn't mind, but the original movie he uses to get through judgement is pretty good.

Rant over, back to blamming.

When you see a switch like that, e-mail the information to wade@newgrounds.com as a head's up for him. At least one person got banned for that shit last time around while another managed to talk himself out of it. Also review the movie so that you can lock into it your comments about the switch.

I source hacked a whislte blow... heres the movie

Heh! MTE. I've seen it at least a dozen or two times.

Now THAT would be a great idea. But no, not exactly. It was made well before the whistle system was. No garbage or saint whistles. Can't remember the whistle colors. I'm pretty sure they're all red, actually, it's just the color of the spotlights above them that change, but... maybe I'm wrong. in any event, they aren't the silver, gold, etc. that we're now familiar with, just regular primary colors.

Based on your signup date, and estimating that you've been here for around 2 years, - 1 month and - 2 weeks, you'd have around 6850 exp, which would be a lot, and probably top 100 or a bit outside of it, yes.

But comfort yourself. At least you didn't sign up when I did (February 2000) and slack even MORE than you did (which I did), putting you at only 3000 exp instead of the 12740 you'd have if you'd been depositing all along (which is my case, sadly).

And I have whistled one and exactly one movie. Ever. The whistle song was pretty neat. And I have gotten the blam animation once, and exactly once. That was classic - "You have destroyed someone else's hard work."

er... well, I can't check your profile to see how many blam points you have, but... I have 14,100 points, and of those, only 130 or so were blam animations or savior screens. Less than 1%, in other words.

*sigh* only 30,000 more blams/protects until #1... I'm not even havfway to a level up there.

Ah well.

Yeah, I've caught the back end of that as well. Lots of points for me.

FAO Dogma, I emailed Wade the first time he tried the stunt. If he does it again I'll email again.

Yep. I was checking the portal every 15 minutes or so while updating the top 50 lists (took about 3 hours today, I'm so freakin' tired). Racked up like 30 points. Beautiful stuff.

Almost makes me wanna stay up, pull an all nighter. But I'm a tired boy. Better not. Hope clockday flashes are still being submitted when I wake up, though.

Can someone "in the know" tell me what time the experience rank updates each day? I'm trying to work out how I managed to lose a ranking place today despite depositing. I'm guessing it's down to me depositing on Thursday about 3 hours earlier than usual, before it updates (so I'd have 20pts done from the Wed-Thu update, and 0 from the Thu-Fri update). If my theory isn't correct (which would put the update between 3 and 5am EST), I'm very confused :-)

Popularity ranking is updated at 5:35am GMT.

Experience and BP rankings are both recalculated at 8:35am GMT.

The server "day" starts at 5am GMT.

We had a number of brownouts roll through here starting at 4:11. At the first flux I got my PCs off and it was right before the power crashed. Continued to have major fluxes, including a few 1/2 second bits with zero power, for a couple hours so I just stayed off to keep from frying anything. By the time I got up everything was stable.

I don't think I can live without any power... I would probably die before it came back on. I like to live in air conditioned places and go on the computer and I play some video games and everything else that I always do every day. =)

Living without power is NOTHING - try living without heating for a couple of days. Got back to uni after the christmas break and the pilot light had gone on our boiler. Couldn't get it fixed for a couple of days over the weekend. We could see our breath. Inside. Great fun that was :-)

3-4 hours out of the city, depends on how much of a hurry I'm in and which route I take. The Matrix is in Brooklyn, so I basically have to cut across Manhattan. Syme's trying to talk me into going to Naturalized, which is only like 90 minutes from here, but it makes me take the long way to get to the city ~shrug~ dunno yet.

NG is being affected by the power grid hiccups as they try and restart New York. There's the occasional glitch with an outage here and there, but otherwise NG is running smoothly.

i tought it was becouse of the power grid thing i just wonderd if i was the only one becouse i didn't saw a front page thread about it and i'm too lazy too go too genaral =P

I could get NG in the morning UK time, but not for most of the afternoon, but it's been OK since about 8pm BST. I think it was down, as there was no BBS posts for the relevant spell.

good thing i don't have too worry about back outs where i live yet......
