Level 31 a few days ago! It's all downhill from here. Te hill is just 90 times longer on this side.

My metal implement has grown unsettlingly rusty. Oh dear.

Who's laughing now!?!

I bought a new brand knife as my new level icon.
Level 28!

By the way, expect a new blog from my series in a while :)

I leveled up to 23 three days ago.

Had I deposited everyday like a good little boy, I would be at level 40 by now, but my computer just had to die on me, didn't it? According to NG logs, if I do keep depositing every single day from now on, I'll reach that level on 01/07/2014....or in 1149 days.

PROFOUND SADNESS.

Coop pops into the office during his holiday, to congratulate:
Haggard: Level 43
Fro: Level 35
SeeD419: 11,000 Medal Points
Cootie: 9,000 Experience; -52,000 Cool points.
Donut: 9,000 Medal points; -2,000 Cool points. You didn't quote the meme, per se, just alluded to it >:(
AlphaCentauri: Level 31; 10,000 Experience
ohbumbuh: Level 21
ThePigeonMaster: Level 28
ArtDanVal: Level 23

It'll be interesting to see if she will ever catch me for Blams. I'm trying to prevent that from ever happening, but that is a long time in the future.

Blams are so sparse these days. It'll be AGES before she passes you or even myself.

I'm still over 10,000 Blams behind you. That's plenty, but considering that she's about 24k behind you, I'm not sure you'll be losing sleep for the next decade or so.

Entertaining as well, but I was more thinking about the quote that we should get rid of all caution warnings and the Darwin Awards. :P

Just keep the Darwins underground ;)

IE: Get rid of warnings like: "Don't leave the steering wheel of this caravan as long as you are driving on the road" and give out Darwin Awards to people who die just because of that.

I really totally agree with this, as some people are a danger to society, just by remaining alive.

Well, that's about a month to six weeks Saving for you, isn't it?

About a month I think. Indeed the end is near, but you gotta consider the 4,000+ saves gap I've already left behind. I've been on #17 for too long in my opinion.

Exp. Rank #: 100 w00t! Finally

I'm now over 100 Art Review Responses.

I think I'm going to keep on reviewing art submissions until I get around 1,000 of them. It'll be a very long process though as I'm only going to do a couple of them every night, but slow and steady wins the race I suppose.

I should still have some minor level ups and milestones coming in the near future. They always seem to come in bunches and then die out for awhile.

123 reviews, 123 bbs posts, 46000 medal points, 5000 exp, 1111 b/p points.
Maybe I should post some more, and not leave a lot of achievements to one post. Ah well

I like it with blue and grey. Heh, funny how all these level ups are happening around the same time. I'm due to level up in two days time.

So we are almost level up buddies? Aweseome.

We are but you'll be reaching level 44 like a week or two before I enter the golden levels. It was better for me and Auz levelling up around the same time but now he gets a new level at least three weeks before I do.

I completely abandoned NG whenever I got to busy with college several years ago. This site is nice, but fifteen, twenty years down the road my college degree is going to be more important. I know the feeling.

... I have to say though, it's somewhat liberating not to have to constantly deal with the truckloads of shite being trafficked through the BBS daily... not to mention the ever-expanding crap pile of flagged reviews.

There are actually machines that can check if a text is copy pasted. They scan in the text and have access to a huge database of scientific texts. So they can find out any similarites very quickly.

Yeah I've heard of them, and they sound easy to use. For me however, I still hate to have to write down a shitload of references in the correct way every time I hand in a report.

Quoting texts "the right way" and writing down references is much too complicated, imo.

But I also meant in the music and film business and such, with for example that AFTA stuff they wanna do right now. Checking computers for illegal downloads, copyright violations and other things. I really think it might be cheaper and better for everyone if they just dumped a bag of cash at the authors straight away as a compensation.

Never heard of it before, so I don't have to say too much on this topic. ^^
Just that I think the idea of the "copyright" doesn't really fit into the modern society anymore.

Sometimes we had some compulsory tutorials and we had to get some kind of certificate. One of the criterias to get this certificate usually was "gather at least 50% of all the points". This propably was implemented to force the students to actually solve the problems, but in maths it was just an incentive to copy the solutions from elsewhere.
In my first semester I got really lucky. I know a guy who studied physics and he is really good in maths. He did all of my "maths homework" for me. ^^

Oh wait, yes now I remember some first year courses where they still liked to do things like that. We had to do some assignments every week as well and if you didn't score high enough you were not allowed access to the exam. They were rather easy though and indeed, usually there were some people who had all the answers in a document from someone from former years. Document like that always spread like wildfire.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons that forum I was talking about earlier was set up. I would never have passed the maths examns if it wheren't for that forum. ^^

Yeah you have to write down initials, surname, year of publishing, title of the paper/book (in italics or between quote marks), publishing company and some other things. In that order, and that's only for papers and books. There are lots of other source types with their own rules as well.
