So you've gone from Normal, to Gold, and now back to normal? You should read this whole thread. And once you finish it, read the 2nd thread that's included in Mal's last post.

Scout!

You passed 35,000 Saves. Way to go!

I have interviewed Bahamut thought most of you would be interested in that since he's a regular in these parts.

I have made my Top 20 Favorite Movies of All-Time List which has taken me a long time to do.

Shit, missed my seventh NG birthday. I am getting fucking old.

One day I will have spent half my life in this hell hole. what the hell... It's funny what happens to people on this site over time: they gradually flee from General disappearing into Clubs & Crews, Wi/Ht, Politics. It's tough as hell to leave NG, that's for sure.

After his daring winter rescue, Coop congratulates:
Friday: Sergeant

You'd been drinking too much, or too little, I forget how it works with you Dragons... but you hadn't drunk exactly the right amount.

I didn't drink enough in that case.

You'd know better than I.

And it's very unpleasant to be freezing, regardless of the time of day.

It's worse at 3AM, trust me. The sun will have been down for hours by then.

I trust you. I mean, I was too busy at that point trying to push the girlfriend away from me, as I was too warm in bed.

I thought it was more of a 'home made' blend, not something you could just buy in a supermarket. I doubt they'll sell it here, but I'll try it if I ever come across it and remember this conversation.

We English have been obsessed with Tea since the days that we owned India. Nowadays, people cater to more diverse tastes, including "red" tea, which is apparently naturally decaffeinated. I've not tried that one yet...

Being a forum mod does indeed help to keep your forum activity up :)

Obviously. However, I still can't catch up with Gagsy.

Indeed. Even if I included number of medals, it wouldn't make much of a difference, unless I made a huge push with it. Still, I think the most amount of medals there are right now is 3,500. We're past the 1/3 way point which is so far so good. I was thinking of including medals in the new year. However, I'll have to wait until byteslinger's new update of the stat pulling software. I can't have myself being screwed up by single character names for much longer.

I'm still not sure if I like this idea. It would probably help me to climb in the ranks, but ... I don't know. I just got a feeling that the addition of medals will eventually start to wreck the pentalist. I mean, medals are already almost easier to rack up than saves...

I'm pretty sure I was thinking of a beta version of the list including medals. Infact, I'll do just that for the next update. I'll keep the Pentalist as it is but I'll have an individual list showing medals and see how it goes.

Saves will definitely come first. From the looks of things, you might have to wait until you get 10k EXP in order to enter the Pentalist.

Maybe around 160 to 180 somewhere. Maybe even lower than 160, I cant be too certain. I was having a battle with jonthomson who is currently ranked 56, so fairly high on the list before the big break. But according to NG Logs I could be 45 on the list.

47,000 B/P! >:(

Holy shit, only 3,000 to go until I hit the big 50k. When I started B/Ping I never thought I could get that many B/P.

But then Gagsy and the other General regulars will take advantage.

Or you could always distract Gagsy while the other revolutionists take a nap. With Gagsy distracted, the other General regs aren't worth half as much.

Does red tea have an interesting taste as well? Cause if it's just decaffeinated then I'm not sure if I care much for it. I don't mind a little caffeine from time to time.

28,000 Medal Points

Maybe I can get some list updates done tomorrow. Who knows?

According to NG Logs, I have been on Newgrounds for 888 days

This one's kind of cheap considering my next nightly deposit will get me a new level, but I just dinged 4000 experience.

Yeah no kidding, that's pretty much how it goes. Cheating is just a shitty ordeal for all parties involved really.

I'm not planning to worry about such things, because I don't think there's much use in that. I also try not to make too big of a deal out of the whole 'living together with my gf' thing. I think we're both like: We'll just see what happens.

That's probably the best way to approach it. If there's no warning signs of anything, you'll probably be just fine, but at least prepare yourself mentally that it really is a possibility. That way, if anything ever went south, at least it would be so devastating.

In what way does it help you? If I ask for the date, I'm more interested in the day, as I usually know which month we have. :P
yyyy-mm-dd would be the best format, at least for sorting purposes.
Anyway, dd-mm-yyyy is much more logical. ~30 days is one month, 12 months is one year. So the date format is orderd from "low" to "high", so to speak. ;)
