Teh Gozzy is back!

Welcome back Gozzy, you planning on staying for good? Pity you had to take a break - I'm kicking your ass in exp now! And I'm also just that little bit ahead in b/p's, but you should have no trouble catching me there.

Have you heard about the new voting system? You can only vote on Under Judgment movies AFTER it has fully loaded. So me with my 56k connection, I'm only voting on movies with a maximum filesize of 200Kb, and my Australian timezone restricts me from coming on at the peak times.

i just got here im a low level can

I have leveled up a couple times now.

It'll take work (nowhere near as much work as updating the entire list Dogma runs, of course), but sure, you can find that out.

Correct - but I don't want to know that desperately. At the last update there were two fast moving people just behind me, but there were an awful lot of new people that could have been going at any rate. Ah well, I think the quickies have gone by me now and I'm passing dormant people again.

There will ALWAYS be more fast-moving people, unfortunately AND fortunately at the same time. #;-}>

I don't have that option, because ramagi's exp list only extends to 100 and I'm up in the 300s, and while I could go through all the names on NGling's VP list and see if any of them have exp near my amount, that would be a total waste of time, plus I couldn't even be sure where on the list I should mostly search for profiles, as b/p bonuses skew everything on that list away from base VP and thus exp.

I'm sure it could be done with a bit of effort. The tricky ones are the people that don't have profiles, like MFAzoom who just deposited for 5,550 (above you I know but it's a case in point). There's also no way, as NG and Dogma have found, to check their b/p points or, as I've found, review count.

yeah. You know, even if someone doesn't have a profile, I firmly believe you should be able to click their name in a review list and see their reviews anyway. It's kinda silly to end up opening an e-mail to them instead when they don't have a profile, that bites.

I'm sure it would be pretty easy to get a fairly comprehensive list of the top 500 people in terms of experience, if you think about it. We already have the top 100, and once you've culled Newgrundling's list and anyone who's showing a baseball bat or above in the BBS, you'd probably have at least 80% of the list. With a bit of effort, you could get up to 95% I reckon, by trawling the recent deposit list. You can't stay quiet and keep depositing at the same time. Maybe something to do in the future.

Actually, you CAN stay quiet. For one thing, if you always deposit about halfway through the GG day, no one's going to notice unless they trawl 24 hours a day. Most depositing gets done in the few hours after the new GG day, or I suppose in some people's cases, before the old one ends. But the slow slow spot's in the middle, and thus if you can't check the list over and over again all 24 hours, that would be the time not to check it, and you're naturally going to miss SOME people, if not a lot.

Also, there may be very high people, say people I'm about to hit in the 200-300 range, that haven't deposited in months and months, have no posts, and have no profile. I'll bet there's more than you'd think. For one thing, when I was making the list of low id#s and people (see this link for what I'm talking about, it's an old thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=50659 )... there were tons of gaps in the list which means either deleted accounts or accounts with no profiles and no flash movies. And some of those people surely deposited some exp, since they'd been around since 1999 at least. Anyway.

My point was: That kind of effort is almost clinically insane for the purposes we're both talking about, though, that being to check what's taking so long on these 3 or 4 day stretches with no rank-climbing progress.

If I wanted to make the top 500 exp list, or the top 101+ since ramagi is doing top 100, then sure. But I don't. I've got enough list duties already (let's see... top 50 blams, top 50 saves, my little casual responses/reviews list, whereis/howto memberlist, and then there's a few b/p and exp related charts I've made and that id# list I just mentioned and so forth and so on).

Speaking of the b/p charts I keep, here were the approx stats (I only update this one every time I rank up, so it'll be updated again tomorrow or the day after when I hit EG Colonel at 17500... so freakin' soon):

Some approximate facts about blam/protect rank as of 20030902:

~ 29,000 people have more than 1 blam/protect point.
~ 24,000 people have more than 2 blam/protect points.
~ 21,000 people have more than 3 blam/protect points.
~ 19,700 people have more than 4 blam/protect points.
~ 18,500 people have more than 5 blam/protect points.
~ 15,300 people have more than 10 blam/protect points.
~ 13,400 people have more than 15 blam/protect points.
~ 12,200 people have more than 20 blam/protect points.
~ 10,800 people have more than 25 blam/protect points.
~ 9,400 people have more than 36 blam/protect points.
~ 8,000 people have more than 50 blam/protect points.
~ 6,000 people have more than 75 blam/protect points.
~ 5,000 people have more than 100 blam/protect points.
~ 3,600 people have more than 150 blam/protect points.
~ 2,900 people have more than 200 blam/protect points.
~ 2,400 people have more than 250 blam/protect points.
~ 2,000 people have more than 300 blam/protect points.
~ 1,700 people have more than 350 blam/protect points.
~ 1,500 people have more than 400 blam/protect points.
~ 1,150 people have more than 500 blam/protect points.
~ 950 people have more than 600 blam/protect points.
~ 620 people have more than 800 blam/protect points.
= 470 people have more than 1,000 blam/protect points.
= 257 people have more than 1,500 blam/protect points.
= 200 people have more than 1,800 blam/protect points.

You were UOTD on the DAY BEFORE CLOCK DAY, BTW. Pretty awesome timing. I'm wondering if either this account or my alt will get UOTD by the end of the year. I'd say my chances are fairly good.

Hey James like your new nickname. Level 11 wow, how many more b/p's you got than me (too tired). Whats the update with the where is/how 2. Has it gone down hill since spancker went?....

Hey Lighning, I'm great thanks, and you? I cant member wot you sed now so i cant reply, hehe.

Spancker's disappeared, but the club is still running. The general consensus, i think, is that Gfox should be promoted to chairman/leader of the club.

Hmmmm, I'll have to get my dictionary out for that one :P. Yea probably, he is the most helpful (no offence to you or the others).

NO! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!</n00b caps lock>

I'm sitting on 1,336 blams, and pick up one to be pending while I do the review update (now up). I come back and I'm sat on 1,338 somehow! I missed the 1337 screenie :-(

Anyways, I may not be able to post round here as much over the next couple of weeks as some people are actually paying me money to do some work for a bit. Should still be around in the evenings, just not all day.

Ah well, only 102 points to a rank up and more lovely voting power :-)

Level 11 wow,

Yeah, that's what happens when you deposit everyday. I think so far I've missed about 10 deposits, probably more.

how many more b/p's you got than me (too tired).

Me: 1,588 Blams, 1,155 Saves. Total = 2,743
You: 868 Blams, 1,717 Saves. Total = 2,585

I have 158 more points than you.

Whats the update with the where is/how 2. Has it gone down hill since spancker went?....

I think that's been covered so far, Spancker made a grand return for a couple of weeks or so and then left us with (so far) false hopes of returning. We've recruited many new members, most of which was done with Spancker around (if not all).

It all depends on determination, time available and maybe a touch of laziness and/or boredom.

Well I level up 2 seven tomorrow so I'm movin on up cause I've only been on for maybe 2 months now on and off with the voting and stuff but now I will be doin it everyday and I should be level 10 in maybe 2 weeksor less

I know exactly how you feel. I did, anyways. About six hours ago. I finally managed to hit Elite Guard Praporshchik after six months of voting on Under Judgement submissions. Let's hear it for 30% increases to my Voting Power! Man, I've been waiting for my gold badge for so long. And now, I finally have it. I'm going to go throw myself a one-man party now, but stay quiet about it. Ben must not know that I'm planning a surprise party for me... Uhh, yeah...

Haha! No kidding! I bet his jaw drops when he hits level 9 and finds out the experience required to reach level 10.

Ok cool 1000 never thaught i would reach that much heh, well if anyone could do me a favor and post me a copy of my 1000th post with my lvl icon and so-on, i would be in much thanks, mine doesnt seem to work...

~X~

I forgot to post it, but earlier this week I finally broke the first skewed EXP barrier to get to level 10. Hooray!

By the way, I've heard that if you are listed as the referral for the flash submission, you get experience points. I've been monitering my EXP closely these days, and have seen no difference since JimonG5 submitted "Magus VS. Lucca" with me as a referral.

Is this because I am the co-author? Or is it because Jim has previously submitted entries (with me as a referral)? Maybe I'm misunderstanding things here...? I'm a bit confused. Anyone able to help?

That's okay, man! All you gotta do is save your profile's htm, put in "http://www.newgrounds.com" before all the /gold and /whatevers inside links that have images linked to them (like your badge, for instance)....

and then change the number to 1337, save the file, drag it to your profile window, and viola, forged profile that you DID actually have, you just missed seeing it, right? Screenshot away. #;-}>

Guys, guys, how many times must I lay this out. #;-}>

Spancker laid out the 3 person command chain back in July/August. Essentially, Recon and myself ARE the leaders right now, since Spancker is gone. Anything you wanna suggest? Come to one or both of us here or via e-mail.

Got a new member nomination? Let us know! Or post about it in the whereis/howto memberlist thread (it's buried pages back, but that doesn't mean you can't revive it for a good reason:

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=64127

What else... that's about it. What else do we need leadership for? New rules, new members... that's about it. It's not like there's actual PERKS or anything. #;-}> Nor is there really any added responsibility. We're all doing our part to help people out with their questions, whoever's on and feels like it/can answer it answers.... eh... it's not like spancker or recon or myself has to say "hey, leeboy! get on that whistle topic STAT! ... and James! You go handle the guy asking about bbs sigpics... AND HEY, DOBIO! Get your slacking ass in that experience topic and paste some NGling FAQ links or something."

Although the thought of that is quite entertaining, yes. #;-}>
