Do you have a good idea of what kind of sprites would go good with the story? I linked to a couple in the other thread that I would be willing to work with.

I can work through a couple of menu ideas if you do.

Level 14...
Am I getting better?

Level 12. It's still pretty low on the food chain though.

Fair enough - I just want to get my hands on the material :P

We all do Coop but what if they made a special edition that included bonus tracks? I'm a sucker for extra features so I always make sure they make a special edition for the day of release before pre-ordering it. I did that for the last two Dream Theater albums and it was definitely worth it for the latest album which contained TWO bonus discs!

Yeah, but have Maiden released bonus discs before? If they have, it makes a nice birthday present for a friend who told me about it and I can get the special edition just for me :P

Nope, you are assigned to take Death's job so you've got to clean the scythe when you're done. :P

But murder isn't part of Death's job description - I do that for free and "on the side", so to speak.

But using the scythe is still necessary and must be cleaned.

Which has been locked for the best part of two years now, hasn't it?

there were 12 (or more) pages of abusive reviews on just one user account, I reported all of them, a mod didn't know how to handle the situation so he punished whoever reported the reviews...

I hardly think that it was a moderator not knowing how to handle the situation - we do pride ourselves on being able to do a good job. As we all know, Rage's Gift was locked due to the stat whore nature of the flaggers. They all just clicked reviews as abusive, without actually reading through them and checking to see if they broke the rules. Perhaps you did the same in some circumstances?

I fell into a deep hole, I thought I was doomed to have a garbage whistle forever....

Garbage is never permanent. If you work at it, you can repair it and then polish it up, as you ahve proven.

Only a 110 or so; pretty easy to achieve top 50 status compared to other stats. :)

If the Wi/Hters are wanting a Top 100 then it is. There is a section about where the 75-80th ranks would be the data isn't normally distributed; non-statistic terms, it doesn't look right and I might be missing users.

Perhaps it's worth a thread in the Wi/Ht and Art Forums, to draw attention to it? If you're into art reviewing, let me know, that sort of thing. Do they have a lounge thread in Art? Perhaps there, then make a proto list for the art reviewers, which I can lock as soon as you're ready for the proper thing.

So...The election...

Nah, they aren't random (5, 5*2-1=9, 9*2-2=16, etc.).
Anyway, if a character appears more than once, it can still be random.

Still false, the randomness will deteriorate if they're used more than once for "randomness".

As a matter of fact, they have. The 1995 re-releases had B-side bonus tracks. However, you can find them all on Best of the B-Sides...Which is quite rare. Still, they could do something special for the next album seeing it's their 15th album and named The Final Frontier.

But using the scythe is still necessary and must be cleaned.

I think I'm doing pretty good. It's a little mundane picking art and searching each reviewer, but I've gotten it down to a science. Not to mention after I posted yesterday, I tried using Yahoo and Google to find even more users and it worked pretty well.

I know you enjoy using your shiny Lock button, but I'll just post my full list in a newspost so you or anyone else can look over it to see if the data looks alright before it's moved onto the Wi/Ht (which is months in the future). Not to mention it's easier to edit there than on the forums. :)

Excuse my absence over the past few days, but I've been really busy lately. The end of the year is nearing so... you know how that always goes.

Anyway congrats to the Wi/Ht?-Level Up Lounge on 77,777 replies. Bahamut should've taken it though.

Since the numbers on the list are still so small, you might be able to search downwards for all the numbers and find people that way (if you weren't doing that already).

Level 29. :D

11000 saves. I don't really consider this an achievement, but if Newgrounds Log said it was, then it might be an achievement.

Pretty major achievement right here.
