It is but we can make our tastes even better.

There's always room for improvement, I guess.

Face the fact that I'm good with ghosts, OK?

Maybe you are, but that doesn't change the fact that haunting can be life threatening.

Not to me anyway.

Thanks for suriving, LegolaSS! Your experience in life has already been deposited for today - you are now 22 years old

Your experience gave you a voting power of 1 vote. Your love and hate points gave you an additional 0% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was still worth 1 vote!

Yeah 2 is like a 5 mirrored in two axis. I'd say 2 is a special number though, if you consider its role in mathematics.

Good question Coop, I've asked myself that question a few times and I've been so certain at times. At this point in time though my interest in the site has dwindled a bit but I'm determined to still do one or two here and there just to keep myself in the race. I guess I'm almost halfway there too, with my total sitting at 4,400 something.

Well, you're currently at 4,445, so if you want, I can just delete a review of yours, to stay magical :P

Maiden have announced UK tour dates and damn, it's a good thing they have a show in Manchester. Otherwise, I would have had to miss out on karaoke night for the next London meet up. Both Maiden's show in the UK and the karaoke night for the London meet are on 5th August.

My B/P is especially starting to slow. I became active again as Private, I'm half way to staff sergeant now and +30 is like a thing of the past. I'd be curious to see a graph with the actual distribution of b/p, but I'm assuming by the way this has been going that the top 1k is quite a bit more spread out than the top 2k.

Oh, and you were right about the experience. +19 today O.O Not complaining about that!

I did the math earlier this week, and if I can keep a steady pace of 50 b/p per weekday I should be at 18,000 by the end of next year. The threshold for making it into the top b/p list seems to be about there, so it's a good number to shoot for. Level 30 will take longer.

Makes sense I guess. But due to the fact that it's different per country and a lot of reports and papers and such are distributed internationally, I can imagine it's indeed complex.

I don't know, sometimes I got the feeling that controlling and checking whether people are violating copyright laws often causes more trouble than it prevents.

It certainly is, and it's common in all layers of society.

And yeah, it's pretty much at 18,000 since I got on the top 300 just before gettin 'em.To be honest, levelling progress is so slow now (my next level will be in two months and some days) that I barely notice it until, one day, I see a "30 exp to next level" message and get all excited..
