Ah, OK. :) I've got to admit that between that and your posting using my account without indicating it wasn't actually me (as you did in the beginning), I was getting a bit concerned... but it's good to know there wasn't an actual reason for that. :)

Yeah, it's just that this thread needs even more "Lounge" and a little less "Level up" in comparison. ^^

Maybe I'm a bit more "toughened up" against bad sound quality, because I used to listen to (and still listen) to punk music. And by punk I don't mean things like Blink 182 or emoshit like Good Charlotte, I mean "street punk" like "Chaos Z" or "Slime" and stuff like that, which sounds really rough and not so "polished".
Now, I don't have anything against good sound quality, but I guess listening to "rough stuff" toughens you up to some degree. ^^

Good to hear you two have reached awesome review milestones. I'd say the both of you put me to shame, especially you Haggard. I only have a mere 3 audio reviews!

Thanks. But you still beat me in flash reviews, you have like over 500 more than me. -.-

You'll pass me eventually.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I hardly review stuff that isn't requested in the RRC, and flash requests became really rare... :/

You're writing more than just the reviews for the RRC submissions, aren't you? Ergo, you won't get Cooped.

Yeah, I stopped doing lists as well as I felt it became more and more a chore, rather than something I enjoyed doing. Also, I have more things to focus on, so doing lists isn't on my priorities list right now.

Which in fact is superior to all of Manowar's lyrics.

Or would you REALLY say:
"Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
Hail, Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill"
Is any better than what you called "lame" up there?

Or how about:
"Kill with power-die die
Kill with power-die die"

Or maybe:
"Hail,Hail to England-
Hail,Hail,Hail."

or:
"Other bands play Manowar kill
Other bands play Manowar kill"

Okay, enough with this stupid "we repeat the lines or otherwise our songs would be too short"
How about?
"Heroes await me
My enemies ride fast
Knowing not this ride's their last
Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale
Bow string and steel will prevail"

I really can't express with words how pathetic this is. >_>
But on the other hand, what could you expect from a guy who in all seriousness says things like: "I'm prepared to die for metal". Oh yes please, go on and do so. ^^

Just upgraded to the awesome power of a Gold Whistle.

Man it took a lot longer than I expected to get from Silver to Gold. Normal to Bronze took like 5 days, Bronze to Silver was around 2 weeks and Silver to Gold has been at least 3 months. I know I haven't been as active lately but it's still ridiculously out of proportion.

So it's gonna be at least a year before I get the Deity Whistle right?

Intersting...
It would seem that my rank number for saves/blams is 1,000

Rev can feel Fall in the air; congrats to:
aldlv - Top 2,000 in Exp
Joeyag - 1,000 Blams
gamejunkie - Deity Whistle!
harriet - 6.00 Base VP
sushi13 - Gold Whistle

It's only took you three weeks to get from Bronze to Silver? What's up with that?
I haven't had a Silver Whistle ever since they switched up the scale years ago. :/

To answer your question, most likely.

37,000 B/P!

Wow, didn't even notice I was that close to 37k, not even when I saw the B/P update yesterday.

My activity here will probaly really low in the next weeks due to various reasons. I will still make my lists and deposit my exp points, but i don't think i will get around to helping anyone for a good while.

Welcome to Idiot-Buster's 103rd Level Up Lounge list!

Achievement of the day!
This special award that goes to the person with the highest rank/level/points of some kind in a cirtain field, or i just think they should have the AOTD. And it goes to...gamejunkie: Deity Whistle!

Watching: TV!

Congrats to:
joeyag: 1,000 Blams
harriet: 6.00 Base VP
sushi13: Gold Whistle
Haggard: 37000 B/P Points

Thanks to:
All who made a list today

Yay! I just made it to level 19!

This is really an accomplishment for someone like me who remembers to deposit only like once a week.

Just hit level 33, finally. Takes forever for me to level up these days. The next to levels are nothing to look forward to, but I can deal.

Bleary eyed from late night roleplaying, Coop congratulates:
gamejunkie: Deity Whistle
harriet: 6.00 Base Voting Power
sushi13: Gold Whistle
Haggard: 37,000 B/P - Don't tell Greg ;)

To answer your question, most likely.

Yeah it was amazingly quick going from Bronze to Silver. I think it's because I get practically all of my whistle points by flagging abusive reviews. I only very occasionally blow the whistle on lousy submissions, and when I do it virtually never gets anywhere because so many people vote without even watching.

There are many, many more reviews to flag than submissions that deserve to have the whistle blown on them. I look at the Turd of the Week submission a couple of times per day to see if there have been any more abusive reviews posted. Usually half the reviews made on the TotW manage to break the review guidelines in some way. Also I regularly look at reviews for submissions with a score less than 1.00 to do the same because they get so many reviews that just say "you suck" or "blamblamblamblam".

I guess if you want to earn some easy whistle points that is the way to do it. Hopefully it wont take me too long to get the Deity Whistle but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Level 21

My last one was not so great but I got 175 medals exactly :D Woot made it to almost 200 medals.

Or 150+ whatever works best for you guys.

Perhaps - I don't mind them, but I do view them as a waste of time nowadays. Seriously, there's much better things to do with your life than sitting at your computer writing up lists of congratulations for dozens of people for milestones reached on a website.

Life's too short for that.

Enjoying it is paramount, yes. If it's a chore, there's no reason to continue (in the case of congrats list and similar things, anyway).

Hey, if they want to write up these lists, go right ahead. I decided to give them up earlier this year since there were more than enough listmakers at the time. Plus, I want to focus more on lounging than saying congrats to everyone.

I tried to think "nah, they aren't serious", but either they are not very good at showing they aren't serious or they really ARE serious. After all what I've read about them (especially about Joey), I tend to belive they are serious. Sad but true.

Nah, it won't. That is what gives this Lounge its uniqueness. Without it, it would be dull and boring just like the Programming Lounge.

yeah I said it :P

Probably the only way the lists would stop, is to have people stop posting achievements here; along with a name change.
