Are you really? Do you need a sleeping bag to get some rest in? Well thats good in anyway, way to go Recon - other than that whats poppin' you?

Thank you, Xkwizit and Recon.

Post count doesn't mean very much to me, but 500 is a nice, round numbber I suppose.

When I finally break through to Praporschik, I plan to debut a new uniform for the dude in my sig.

I've also done a lot more reviewing lately. (by my standard)

10 VP... mm, oh, I could do some saving and blamming with that..

Lack of sleep definitely isn't poppin' me if I have the terminology right X. Once I get home I plan on tossing a couple of Swanson turkey pies in the microwave, quickly chow down and retire to my heated bed with my latest "Time" magazine and "Coast to Coast" on the radio (wicked talk show). Bah. Gotta take a walk now. I want my pillow. ** sniff **

i know but i still think it's you every time i see a level 13 in this thread, same with XkwiziTOnE and level 12's =)

Good work themightywargod. Stick with it and gain those levels as quick as possible. Plus keep your light aura, the light side rocks! Neutral auras are tolerable and dark auras... well just keep your light aura!

I've been with the light since i was born and i'm proud to be one. :)

How can you read and listen to people talk at the same time? I mean, read and music I can understand but I just can't concentrate on a book if I have people blabbing in the background.

You're doing a business course? Good luck with that buddy. I'm doing an IT course next year.

Recon is a man of many skills.....and reading talking and listening is what he is got at all at once....

If so, that's quite an admirable skill. I can't believe he can absord and process so much information at a time - that's like a freakin' computer!

Sure, you guys are nice, but your tastes in auras differs to ours. Hence the aural rivalry...

I went back to dark, since over 3/4 of my blam/saves are blams, and the fact that when I find someone stealing any flash (even though thats a good thing that I find out where they stole it from and get it deleted/credited under real author.) I like to rub it in and make them feel stupid for trying to fool everyone. And make them feel even worse by bringing up things that they've said in their defense about how they don't steal even though my evidence proves they do.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRank up! I managed to rank up to Elite Guard Sergeant today, which completes all the +500 ranks. Now the +1,000 ranks begin...

Congratulations, they get really annoying when they are like.. 2,000 needed. That took me like 2 weeks over the summer for each. Now it takes a lot longer to get that many points for me :( only about 1,900 to go until last rank though.

I'm a lean, mean, green, fighting machine.

Grrrrr...

Gahh!..I've set my pace back up again, except I've been having problems

I don't get awarded blam/save points many times!

I vote on the movie, get the confirmation message of a possible point to be earned, see it get blammed/saved, and get no points. 3rd time it's happened...and I'm not liking it. It usually lasts about 15-20 minutes too, and when it starts working I do not get the points from before.

I know it hasn't been doing it, I'm not crazy! It's happened right before my eyes many times.

(sigh)
Well, I should get EG First lieutenant in at least a week, and I will be level 13 in a couple weeks, w00t! Even though the baseball bat isn't that cool, you have to get it first before you get the pipe, chain, and nunchucks..heh..

Weeeee!! Just cracked 7,000 protection points! Gotta go and check gfox's charts to see where old Joe stands. Next milestone for Recon will be 10,000 blams and that's not too far off now.

One possible reason for this is that, say you give something a 3 and the confirmation message says the score of that movie is now 2.37 or whatever, there is still quite some time for other users to drop 0's on that submission. If it gets blammed, you obviously won't get a point for it.

It's happened to me sometimes, but it's usually because I vote a 0 and bring it's score to 1.65 or vote a 2 and bring it to 0.87 or whatever.

I hope all that makes sense...

Nice work there Recon. Will you be catching stormwarden anytime soon?

Hah! I guess with your grand totals 800 points isn't too much.

No.

First of all, I don't vote 3 on a movie if it's going to get blammed..heh..

Second of all, I did do many tests to prove it. I voted 0 on a few 10k pieces of crap. Got the blam point message, witnessed them all go to the grave, checked the obituaries to further confirm it refreshed my profile, and nothing. 15 minutes and still nothing...forever and still nothing!

Oh well, what's a few points anyway

... .... oh my!
