Congratulations Joe. Very nice work. My achievement isn't quite so grand but I just made Elite Guard Colonel.

Congrats to both you maniacs ;-)>! 3rd account and 2nd human.. how does it feel? and the colonel rank up isn't a small achivement eitehr.

Hey Joe, are still gonna put your main account on ice and start voting with another one?

Since he was just made a mod (anytime this week, I dunno when because I was away) I doubt he will put this account on ice and start voting with another. Think about all the logging in and out when he wants to moderate a bit, and then vote, then maybe post and moderate...
Hope you see my point.

No, I'll still be getting points for the other account, the logging in and out doesn't bother me, and there isn't THAT much moderating to do that I have to be logging in/out every 5 seconds.

congrats joe =D me be i'll be come one too in a few months/years

Congrats Joe, nice going.
Congrats to Recon aswell.

Seems to have been a few rank/level ups of recent, congrats to everyone. Myself? I've been busy list making, trying to see how far I can take ramagi's experience list downwards. I figure that I can grab most level 14 or higher users, which isn't even 350 people. Or 349 and fixit. I'm at 66% at the moment, and I reckon 95% or more can be done. People can't be that elusive. I'd have a few more, but culling NGling's list without the user profile search tool (down 3-9) isn't easy.

Why? Why not. My review count is a nice round number. To fixit, anyway. Can't be arsed with that at the moment.

LOL! Nice touch there. Yep...

Oh, and you're the first human MALE to get to it.

We've had one woman, one robot, and one man.

Why am I starting to view ramagi, fixit, and Joe as Leela, Bender, and Fry from Futurama all of a sudden? heh. #;-}>

Rank: Elite Guard Supreme Commander

Congratulations Joe. Very nice work. My achievement isn't quite so grand but I just made Elite Guard Colonel.

All right! Congrats, guys. Next update won't be for awhile, but your achievements will still be put down in ston... er.. in pixels.

Hey Joe, are still gonna put your main account on ice and start voting with another one?

He already has, man. He already has. Nemesis is rapidly moving up and away from you (and towards me!).

Heres to seeing a 14.75 VP in the near future...

Okay, this may be a stupid question but I'm asking it anyway. How do you invert the question mark symbol in a post? I've seen it done many times but I don't have a clue how to do it.

At 11/1/03 04:03 AM, TheJoe324 wrote: It's already insanely high compared to everyone else's, imagine how much it'll be with a higher percentage added.

I don't even want to think about it. If humantarget slips for a few days, he loses his crown. If ramagi doesn't keep up the pace, the robot named fixit takes her down to #2....

but Nemesis is already untouchable. If you get him one or two rankups... he's untouchable times 3.

There's currently no one with as high of a level and blam/protection points as him so it'll be a while if anyone ever does pass him.

Yeah, no kidding. "a while" is a bit of an understatment there. HT would have to decide that being a Police Captain is boring and he wants to enter the EG and move up in the ranks for Nemesis to start sweating VP-wise.

Only competition he WOULD have would be agent66 (whose main advantage was experience before, but nemesis recently passed him.) Since hardly anyone above him experience-wise has over 1,000 points, and anyone with a high amount of blams/protects is nowhere near his level, it will be a while before anyone passes him (if they ever do)

agent66, while it would delight me to no end to see up and moving again exp and b/p wise, is essentially and effectively dead in the VP game. His spiral downwards is unmatched, due to his high exp and high b/p bonus... he's always at the top of NGling's top VP-shedders.

So, I don't think Nemesis needs to worry about him. Besides, while his 5000something points awed me along with his high exp level back when in February... that b/p total fails to do so any longer for obvious reasons. HT's 1000 points or so isn't THAT much lower that if he decided to get some b/p along with his daily exp, he could catch agent66 in a few months.

But then again... having a top 10 exp slot seems to be an effective anti-blamination/protectation medication. The two just don't seem to work together any more. (sniff)

Yeah.. I already know thats not happening unless someone unplugs fixit, it was only about 2 months ago that I was ahead of him.. Now he leads me by 3,000.

We're still working on that. The unplugging thing, I mean. If we ever manage it, will you consider a competition with ramagi? There hasn't been much of one up there since she left RyoHahn in the dust.

I was only talking about 1 or 2 rankups, not getting him all the way to EGSC, but whatever.

So by the end of this week well have 3 EGSCs, And by the end of the year could (though unlikely) have as many as 4. But as you said earlier adding more ranks, but the one thing i have to say theres only 97 People between Me and Ramagi, which is around a 30,000 Point spread. which is kind of a meager number for such a huge spread :P.

Oh, I wouldn't doubt that Crono will be EGSC by January, as long as he doesn't slow his rate down too much. And judging from the past 6 months, there's been no reason to believe that he will.

30,000 point spread from 5,000 to ~35,000, though. When 99.5% of the b/p population is well under 5,000, it's not that surprising. Hell, only 6 people (soon be 7, courtesy of yours truly) are over 20,000.

So what? My ancestors aren't around now so they can't have any influences on my family.

Then why does Christmas itself have anything to do with your family? O_o

Seriously, man, you can't say "oh, it's summer for Christmas here" and yadda yadda, and obviously care about a religious holiday... but then say it doesn't matter who your ancestors were. Your ancestors are the REASON you are who you are.

The song's "White Christmas," after all, not "Green Christmas."

Err yeah... a song...

Yeah! All the songs. They're all about cold, snowy winters. Well, except for the Christ-related ones that aren't about Santa and snow and reindeer and X-mas trees and all the Germanic-related X-mas stuff that came later.

Like I said, it doesn't matter if you're in a place that has snow or not, snow MEANS Christmas. Christmas means snow.

Dude. Dial-up connection. Australian time zone. Although... summer vacation is coming up for me in about a month and a half... It's possible.

It's very possible. Very doable. You've moved at an okay clip in the past. It can happen again. yep.

Well, first we'd have to define who exactly I meant by "us," and I would stipulate that I mean any of the official WIHT membership. That said, I don't think there's any of us even over level 20. Recon and you and Spancker and TF are probably the highest leveled people, but I think the earliest any of us would get level 30 would be 2010, and that's only if HT, Pimp, Bomb, and Shrapnel all keel over from heart attacks. #;-}>

Hmm Wonder if i Can get EGSC Before my Birthday in January. It Would Great if i can.

Also congrats to Joe on his rank up.

Congrats to all rank ups/level ups/other achievements that have been going on.

I don't think think it's actually inverting the question mark, but rather it's a whole new symbol. I don't know how to reproduce it using my keyboard, the only way I can use it is by copy-pasting it when someone else uses it. It isn't important enough for me to worry about anyway.

Oooo... Very close to page 250. That page will be a landmark for me and I don't think any of you could guess why.

Thanks everyone. And congratz to all of those who also ranked/leveled up.

Wow, congrats to you on that huge promotion Joe

About the inverted question mark thing -- I've never had a computer where those alt + ### combinations work. Assuming you're using windows, go to start > programs > accessories > system tools > character map.

That little program will solve most of your symbol problems.

If you dont have that, if you have microsoft word, you can do insert > symbol, and copy and paste from there.

I've always been fine with my plain "?" though.

Congrats joe!

I also leveled up right now, not so special like Joe's archivement, but nice too:

Rank: Elite Guard Sergeant First Class

BLAMS: Involved in the termination of 2,505 crappy entries.
SAVES: Assisted in the protection of 2,495 quality entries.

That would have bothered me.. I'd countinue to keep my account in such a high spot if I was you. You are after all the first male to reach EGSC.. what about holding the top spot (for males) for as long as you can? I'll quit if I ever reach EGSC anyway.
Well, it's your joice. But isn't 60 000 b/p in the same account more impressive than 30 000 in two? And wouldn't you be frustrated if NG made new top ranks going as high as let's say 50 000? And then you had to get 20 000 more instead of a smaller number to reach that rank? I hope you see my point. Although it is very little likely that new b/p ranks are made.
