I don't think I've still got the .gif, but I've got the stats on a bit of paper from when I had 200, lost the 300 stats - you can imagine the curve from there:

points - now(then)
10 - 18(12)
9 - 20(13)
8 - 33(21)
7 - 46(22)
6 - 48(27)
5 - 66(36)
4 - 45(31)
3 - 24(14)
2 - 14(12)
1 - 15(9)
0 - 6(3)

Should hopefully be in the top 1000 for experience soon, and about bloody time too.

Thanks everyone,

I'm really going to slow down when I hit 30,000 unless fixit is programmed to stop and gets 10 points or less a day after that and I can have the opportunity to pass him I'll not try as hard.

Ahhhh, cool... wow, your 7 number is probably the most impressive increase. Sure 5 has a higher increase, but it's your bell curve peak, so that's not that surprising.

I seem to find myself giving 7s quite often. I think it's because most good films I enjoy (And those are the ones I mostly review) get a 7 8 or 9 from me, even if they aren't that good, technically and I should be more critical. 6 just seems too low, probably because it's the typical "edge of failing" in grade school (60%).

Should hopefully be in the top 1000 for experience soon, and about bloody time too.

Coolness. Dogma shouldn't be too far behind.

My exp rank rate for the past couple weeks or so has gotten really slow, observe:

428 -> 425 -> 423 -> 421 ->
then it gets sluggish, only 1 (or 0) down each day:
417 -> 416 -> 415 -> 413 -> 413 -> 412 -> 411 ->
but THEN it jumps down to:
402 -> 400 -> 397 ->
returns to only 1 per day:
396 -> 395 -> 394 -> 393 ->
and now it seems to be in a 2 per day relatively-quick phase:
391 -> 389

wheee. Getting into the exp top 200 is... not the fastest process on the planet.

I hate to admit it, but I might pull a RyoHahn and slow down once I get General. That last haul is so long it's almost not worth rushing it anymore, even if it is the last leg. We shall see...

Anywho, so a close fixit is enough of an incentive to try to jump him, eh? But what if Ramagi hasn't passed, say, 32,500 by the time you hit 30,000? Is that close enough to be tempted to go for #1 if fixit isn't already?

Meh, I'm fine with being the third person to get 30,000 and I don't really need anything past that. I could probably be there by now if I didn't really slow down back in the end of february to the beginning of march. I averaged about 8 a day back then. If I just kept it up I'd be ahead of that damn robot.

btw my school started today (well i got my books any way) so i'm sure you'll see me a lot less on ng now

Congrats on that, man. How many days does it usually take you to move up 1 rank? I'm guessing 2 or 3, but sometimes just 1?

And then again, there have to be rare occasions above the 4000 point mark where people are at the same experience, and are both inactive, and thus you manage to gain 2 in one day just one time at least.

Anyway, sorry to hear about school immediately cutting your NG time away, but as long as you don't disappear completely, that's cool. Have fun if at all possible. #;-}>

3rd person to the top is STILL medaling if this were the Olympics, after all, so yeah. #;-}>

Yeah, I know. I figured you were all washed up in the movers game back when I started keeping track of the top 50 list and saving them back in March. Kinda the RyoHahn or Nemesis of March, in a way. #;-}>

Anyway, it was fun watching you climb your way back up from #6 to #3, which is where you'd been before you lost ranks to thisisasignin and Nemesis and... er... whoever the other one was, right? And the little down to 4 and back up to 3 blip ain't no thang. Ryo's a-waitin' for ya, methinks!

In any event, don't beat yourself up about being passed by fixit on the way. Everyone else was, too, and most of them have been, or will be, passed by others (like say, by Crono) on their way up. You only got hit by 1 person, that's not so bad. Plus you're returning the favor to RyoHahn, so it perfectly evens out! #;-}>

Anywho, 2750 and I hit the sack now. I've got a big day of job applying and hopefully (it'd be fairly hard NOT to, with just a bit over 50 points remaining) hitting Lieutenant Colonel ahead of me.

And for anyone wondering, I think I'll do the next top 50 blams and top 50 saves update at around 15555 points, that's a nifty mark. Expect it on the 3rd, then, at some point. Hopefully I'll be back on the BBS before then, but if not, see y'all later, have fun.

well i haven't gotten a gain of 2 spots in a long time i normaly go up between a week and a half and 3 day's so it all way's takes a long time

I went from 163 to 148 in a little less than 3 weeks, moving up about 1 every day. And now I've been at 138 for about 5 or so days.

fixit is insane, I wasn't worrying because I didn't see him as much of a threat, but then I noticed he kept getting over 100 a day. He just came out of nowhere.

I think that's partly due to be reviewing the entire first series of Costanza Falcon, where I gave out about ten 7's in a close spell...

Well, the good end of the curve will have gone up, as I've stopped reviewing as much random flash (and stopped watching as much flash in general since the voting change).

Should hopefully be in the top 1000 for experience soon, and about bloody time too.

Coolness. Dogma shouldn't be too far behind.

I'm a couple of hundred points (and places ahead). Should be more really, considering my sign up is two years ahead :-(

wheee. Getting into the exp top 200 is... not the fastest process on the planet.

Nope. I've been consistently going up between five and ten a day for a while now. But looking at some recent deposits yesterday, there's about ten people just two points behind me (which would kind of make sense).

Not a rank upgrade, but stil a bit of a milestone:

Rank: Elite Guard Staff Sergeant
BLAMS: Involved in the termination of 3,000 crappy entries.
SAVES: Assisted in the protection of 1,799 quality entries.

3000 blams. WHEEE!!!

That's funnay... you have roughly more 2000 blams than me and about 1000 more saves. Atleast it is pretty darn close.

And the golden badge ain't too far away for you. you can almost thouch it, can't you?

Congratulations. I managed to hit Lv. 11 a few nights ago while I was still away from home (read about it in Got Kicked Out Of My House!). Yeah, I know it sucks and I know it's way down there, but it all brings me one more step up the ladder. I can't wait for Lv. 12 though. I think that's the level icon that I want the most. Barbed wire boxing gloves rule...

Well, there was my movie ( http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=117383 ), but that's not exactly "super awesome."

This is my current favorite, I am under it's hypnotic spell: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=120321

There have been a few changes to the system, too. noteworthy is that you have to wait for a movie to fully load before the voting bar appears.

ooo well i see they are still uploading the new fashion.

Congrats Mystboy, that's definitely the best icon. I'm liking the new sign in page - I was wondering if they've updated the profile page as well, but no. Down to under 350 reviews again, some weiner had all his movies deleted so I lost a couple. Arse.

congrats biteme i don't under stand why people like that level 12 icon i hate it and about your adventure just start saving a lot of money so that you can get your own plase really fast =)

I'm already saving but I can't get my own place for another three years or so. Besides, my dad is taking some anger management course now. The cops forced it on him. It was either that or he would have been arrested for assault. In any case, I don't plan on leaving home for good anytime soon. I couldn't leave my mom alone at home with that psycho anyways. You just know it's bad when you go to the cops for help and they recognize you. Stuff has happened before with my mom...

By the way, the level icon that I really want is the Lv. 21 one, but I doubt I'll be getting that anytime soon. Lv. 12 is just a realistic goal for me. What makes you hate the Lv. 12 level icon so much anyways?

Level 16 looks sweet. Congrats Mystboy.

Some people just have different taste in the level icons. I personally like the LV.12 icon. ;-)

oke wtf?? was any one on ng when all those under juded movies came in/back too the portal?? damn and all most all of them over going too become save points =D
