It's my third time I see it lol.
And everytime it happens, there is a topic about it too. ( check the General ! ).
And hmm... Yeah, we can't vote NOR post pics in the forums nor see the NG news.
Really bad :-(

Last time it happened.. we got extreme-negative voting powers. Here are some examples I was able to get by going through my chat logs.

Thanks for voting, TheJoe324!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of -42.10 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 38% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth -58.10 votes!

Thanks for voting, ramagi!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of -68.50 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 55% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth -106.17 votes!

Thanks for voting, NeMeSiSM66!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of -117.00 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 40% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth -163.80 votes!

Third time I've been through the error, and yeah, I remember what Joe's talking about from the previous two times. I don't remember what my -HUGEVOTINGPOWER was, but it was obviously nowhere near Nemesis's. Experience clearly plays a bigger part than b/p % bonus when the error is in effect.

I'm sure, BTW, that those same voting results would have happened today, it's just that we couldn't vote in the first place to find out.

Here's the latest (well, and final) version of the VP list I was assembling during the error, it shows that while everything up to level 9 was pretty much normal (except that no one had b/p % bonuses applied, most interesting!), everything after 400 exp was totally screwed up, and a VP of 5 quickly slid down past 4 and all the way past 2 to 1 for everyone over a certain amount in the middle of level 9.

MOST INTERESTING. #;-}>

0 exp = 1.00 VP
...
380 exp = 4.80 VP
390 exp = 4.90 VP
400 exp = 5.00 VP (assuming that even though 400 = lv9)
420 exp = 4.75 VP (my alt account)
440 exp = 4.50 VP (Julia03)
475 exp = 4.31 VP (HighDefinition)
540 exp = 3.77 VP (EvilZak)
680 exp = 1.80 VP (EvilNublr)
705 exp = 1.31 VP (Hittokiri_Buttousai)
870 exp = 1 VP (Slightly_Crazy_Dude)
...
13686 exp = 1 VP (humantarget52)

in any event, more stuff I want to reply to in other topics, but I wanna keep my postcount at 3000 for the rest of the day. I guess if I insanely can't wait to post till tomorrow, I'll bring PimpMasterGDOG online.

Later peops!

T-MINUS 0 POSTS TO 3000.....
IGNITION...
LIFTOFF...
WE HAVE ATTAINED 3000!

Wow, I wonder if I could have done severe damage to my least favorite movies with such meganegative VP, and whether that damage would have been permanent.

That day was the first day I've given a 0 to my favorite movies and a 5 to the ones I hate the most. Some ones that it would normally take 5-10 days to go up .01 went up .01 with one 0 on that day.

Thanks, and congrats. And what do you mean "some problem in this bard?"

Don't be so cryptic _lightning_, you've peaked our curiosity so spill the beans. If it's against the BBS rules then simply e-mail us.

What is it with this current spate of really, really good submissions? I played Gunny Bunny a few days ago which is incredible considering it was done in flash, the second part of ROTMK is great, the new Foamy is the best one I've seen and that Mega Man vs. Metroid game is the best thing I've played on NG, even better than Johnny Rocketfingers. Together with that l30 bug the other day, these are true halcyon days here at NG that we can tell our grandchildren about. Now to watch that new Taco Man flash which should be great.

</end of random crap>

What could this news be lightning? Is this about an old friend from long ago? Answers lightning, we want answers!!

Hey all, just thought I'd stop by to say that a couple days ago I finally made Elite Guard Second Lieutenant.

I've been a little busy with school, and audio portal work, but I've finally managed to get back on track like I was before (more or less).

Heh...my goal is to have at least the top 50 in techno in the audio portal...and I have a feeling it will a piece of cake...muahaha..

Congrats RageVI! I just ranked up a few days ago, nice feeling isn't it?

If it's so serious that you had to email a mod about it, you gotta tell us! I gather that when you say 'board', you mean the WI/HT forum as a whole, and not just this topic. Is there a problem user? I noticed bullypunk trying to make a comeback, but he shouldn't be that much of a problem.

Enlighten us lightning!

That was my guess James. I noticed bullypunk (alias msafreak) sneaking around the forum. Haha! One of the topics he started was locked shortly afterwards.

Enlighten us lightning!

Yeah no kidding! You can't expect us to just sit back and wait for this to hit the evening news! Talk for Pete's sake!!

It's not this, is it lightning?

At 9/25/03 09:41 PM, TheJames wrote: It's not this, is it lightning?

Haha! That could be it James. I forgot about when bullypunk sent spancker all that porn crap through the e-mail. I wonder if lightning is going through the same problem. I haven't seen anything too drastic unless admin has already removed the posts.

Hello members!!!!!! Thought i would grace you all with my presence......how is everyone and everything going..........

Doing okay Mr. X, how are you this fine evening? I'm in the middle of my lunch right now. Ha! I'm already thinking about perogies again tonight (damn they were good). After I filled my face last night it took me about 5 minutes to fall asleep. Yeah, yeah I know. You're not supposed to go to sleep on an full stomach but I didn't have much of a choice. Once my stomach was satisfied my brain took over and "shouted lights out!" I slept a good 10 hours yesterday and now I'm ready for bear!

Well, hello everyone, tomorrow I will be at level 10! Im so excited, now that I think about it, level 9 didnt last that long...Maybe its just me.
