Exp. Points: 4,110 / 4,242

Actually... not to depress you too much, but 4242-4110 = 132, and since I was just getting 2 or 3 added every day as a level 13 to my exp requirement for 14 up till today when I finally got 14...

us level 14s, I suspect, get 3 added every day, more or less, so it might be more like 3 weeks till you get level 15, not 2.

Congrats on almost 1500 blams. Im currently 2,970th in exp, but 150th in blam/protect. I move up like 1 or soo each day depending on how long Im on and how many submissions there are.

Wait. 2,970th in exp? What are you talking about? You're 870th in exp, like you just said in the prior paragraph. O_o

BTW, does anyone know (probably in this thread somewhere) where exactly the discussion was about a month or two ago on which lists are hardest to make? Nobody go digging especially, I'll find it if no-one knows. Gfox I'm looking in your direction :-)

No, it wasn't here. It was in one of my top 50 lists, can't remember which one. Shouldn't be too tough to find. Just search for a word you know will be in the post, like "top 50" and lightning and gfoxcook. I know it was mostly me and lightning talking about it. So that'll bring it up for sure. If not, dig back about 5 pages in each thread.

Now to get some token shuteye before game 4. Go Burkett :-p

Sadly, no game 4. I thought FOX had fucked up when the game wasn't on, but then later found out it was postponed. At least the Marlins salvaged their dignity with a 2-hitter. Magnificent 4-0 victory over the Cubs. They're doomed in the last two games, though. Eh. Cubs represent my NL Central, but... I find it hard to root for them, especially when I don't particularly like their manager or star player. But I do have sympathy for their fans. So eh... either way is fine. But I hope the Yankees get kept out. They've had enough pie, it's time to share with the rest of the class.

Yeah. Come join me in lame rustpipedness. You know you want to.

Yes. He is teh one. I had to comfort myself while individually deleting each skull pic (and zoomed face pic, from back in June) that at LEAST he wasn't an all-caps, homophobic death-threat spewer.

I've had enough of those over the weekend, his kind of silliness is a relief in comparison.

Now I've always considered striking distance to be 100 points or less. Funny how your attitude changes at the scent of blood.

Closer.... ever closer.

Hey _lightning_, I haven't talked to you in awhile. Still climbing the top 50 chart I see. I'm just about done for the day (I said that to myself an hour ago) but it's tough to quit when I'm so close to Stormwarden. With the exception of recycle_your_pets I thought Stormwarden was one of the coolest names on the site.

Haha! I know what you mean buddy! Just when you're getting ready to pounce the person you're chasing decides to start voting again. I think a big part of staying on the chart is consistency, just getting your personal quota for the day. I alway try for 50 - 60 points on a work day and maybe 10 on my days off. So far today I've managed to snag about 30 points but I'll have to cut it short pretty quick as I have a Thanksgiving dinner to go to (don't want to miss that, yum).

Selective editing - you're putting demon0's words into my mouth. Why would I be congratulating demon on 1500 blams when he already has it, and also claiming I'm much higher in b/p than I am? Ah well, ought to learn how to use the quoting properly. God I've just corrected six typos in that last sentence. Congrats on the new crappy icon anyway :-)

And I just jumped another 13 places today, but that was by cheating the update by depositing at 6pm and 2am eastern again :-)

how is deposeting early cheating?

Tricking the update system ?
Hmm... Sounds quite impossible. I don't really get it.
You can't deposit twice a day, it's impossible, there are the IP tracers and everything.
And I guess that even if a friend of yours (imagine you're in the USA, your friend's in India), and you ask him to deposit for you a few hours after you do, so that there is time difference, no cookies, not the same IP and everything, in order to deposit TWICE a day... but I still think it wouldn't work !

I mean getting in two deposits in the time it takes the profiles to update, so in that timespan I get 20 points. Still just depositing once every NG day though, but abusing the fact the profiles update at about 3am EST, after I go to work. At the weekends it all goes back to normal, as I don't deposit early. Sleep good.

club-a-club-club, eh? Well, OK. Give me about a month (would normally do it in 20 days, but I'm going away for a week =) )
To save yourself time you could make me a few ranks higher right now, and post them here, I save them, and won't have to nagg at you again. Not like I'll be changing that sig for a very long time, because it's super cool!

damn much EXp to level 10!

Nope. Let me set an extreme example. Suppose I deposit at one minute before midnight and then one minute after midnight. Because the profile updates at about 2.30, I will have got 20 points since the last time the profile updated. But clearly I can't do that every day. Can't deposit more than 10 in a given NG day, and because of the way it works, on the Saturday profile update I get 0 points and on the Monday update I get 20, because of the hours I work. To reemphasise, I only ever get 10 in any given NG day.

Yeah.... but what if newgrounds is running crappily, and when you try to deposit at such a late time, you can't get your vote in. You just missed a day of depositing because you wanted it to "go up" 20 in one day on the list. I deposit at the earliest possible time of the new day to make sure I don't miss out.

Heh, I do the same thing Brian_Griffin. My cycle of a new NG day starts at 6pm. I don't need to depoist at 12am like some. ;-)

This is just a test. My account was acting weird and since I just found out my password was changed I'm guessing this post will get through. My thanks to Wade & liljim for fixing the problem. Essentially I couldn't log off but at the same time I couldn't post or vote. This morning it let me deposit my experience for the day and after that it gave me the now famous error crap. Post it!

is there ever been a lvl 30 guy before? is there one now?

PS: yay, my first post as a lvl 6.
