The sheer amount of the blamless is staggering...

Wait, that doesn't quite add up - according to that stat, over 90% of Newgrounds users don't have a single blam point, yet it seems like half of Newgrounds users have asked how to blam and save on wi/ht... explanations? Is there some kind of rift in the space-time continuum, or am I just spouting more crap?

Geez,looks like I got alot of experience levels and blams/saves to catch up to u guys. But, yea I can't wait till I get to level 12 or 13, they have cool icons.I like my metal knuckles but I like bat and wire better, oh and the numjuk icon is kick ass. But, now I'm just ranting.Btw, did I spell numjuks right?

Yea it took time, patience and alot of flash movies and games to get there, but you can do it too. Level 12 is cool and i am at this level 13 soon to be 14 which is the Pipe, i cant wait to get to level 15 & 16 which is the Chain and the "Nunchaku".......

I think the gold ones (Praporshchik +) turned out better, I think I made the grey too dark on the other ones, but to fix it now I'd have to redo about half of the work. I especially like the way final rank came out. But here.

They're pretty nifty. Two things, though. As someone else mentioned, they revolve a bit fast... and the stars on the General badges don't have any outline over the gold badge exterior. IOW, they kinda melt into the rest of the badge, they need some sort of definition to make them stand out, like they do on the regular 2D badges.

After checking out all the level icons in Joe's BBS sig I'd say I'm growing fond of level 24 (the sword). I think the only icon past level 24 that still looks good with a neutral aura is level 29 (that could take awhile).

Ok sure, I'll trade accounts with you! :P

Seriously though, I wouldn't trade accounts with anyone. Not even humantarget or ramagi. Having a hold of accounts with their high achievements would mean nothing to me as it wasn't me who did it. Any praise I got would be worthless. At least with my account it shows exactly what I'VE done and something I can be truly proud of.

It's pretty sweet isn't it? Excellent compensation for the worst icon of the lot IMO (the small staff of level 23). I'd still trade it in for a gold weapon though, those things are awesome!

Oh yes, in a few Minutes, I shall wield the Might Bat that comes with becoming Level 13! I love this transition from Gloves to Handheld Weapons.

Recon Rebel must have been the First that I remember that wield the weapon a long time ago.

Whoops, meant to say the First I've seen from what I remembered. haha.

Thats exactly what I feel as well James. But what would you do if somebody "gave" you a Higher Ups Level Account?

I sorta understood your first post but that one went straight over my head!

I'll downgrade to the bat in about 63 days. I've grown quite accustomed to this icon and my opinion on the bat has been steadily decreasing.

As in "I'm leaving Newgrounds here's the password to my high level account"?

Hmm... I'm not sure on what I'd do. I think I'd deposit with that account for a while, especially if it was close to level up but I might eventually get bored with it (I have before, although the account was at a lower level than mine).

I wouldn't get the same feeling of achievement though.

OMG OMG OMG i'm a level 16 =)

Thank you for your deposit, _lightning_! You now have 4,980 experience points. You need 653 more to get to level 17.

well said, well said.

I believe Vanguard said something like... well, okay, you wouldn't TRADE your account for another one, but what if someone just GAVE you a high level account.

I guess a good example of that would be MacBeth having arrows_eleven's old account (now -adric-, if you've looked at the top 50 blam/protect list lately).

I can't speak for James on that, BTW, but I wouldn't even want to have another account if I didn't have to give up mine. With the possible exception of a funnily-named low-level account. I don't place that much value on exp, since it doesn't require that much time (overall) or effort, but any amount of blams and saves, IMO, should be earned by the person who started the account. Eh.

I've long been a fan of the sword level icon, and thought that there should be more than just one sword icon, seeing as how there's 2 axes, several mace-like things (the bat, the pipe, the spikey mace, etc.), 2 staves, and 3 gauntlets...

yet only ONE SWORD. And yeah, you can say that level 30 has a nice blade like a sword, but it's more of the end of a spear, I think.

Anywho. It may not be one of the fully-golden weapons, James, but it does have a gold hilt. And it's thus the gateway to the superhighlevel icons.

It's my 2nd fave after the nunchaku, I'd say. 3rd would be one of the axes. 4th would be the other axe (the double-sided). 5th would be the chain...

Anywho.

I'll be updating the top 50 lists later today, guys, and then getting to the rest of the forum that I've neglected for the past couple of days. I'm going to hit 20,000 points within the hour. WOOT.

I think it looks like a the golden version of the weapon Mannoroth veild (how do you spell that?) in Warcraft III. Mannoroth is a huge undead monster.

My favs are (regarding a neutral aura):
My first is the golden gauntlet (lvl 25), second the double-bladed steel axe (lvl 22), third the bronze gauntlet, fourth the golden spiked dildo (lvl 26) and fifth and last the boxing glowe with barbed wire.

Anywho.

I'll be updating the top 50 lists later today, guys, and then getting to the rest of the forum that I've neglected for the past couple of days. I'm going to hit 20,000 points within the hour. WOOT.

Congrats! And can the top 50 blammers update wait at least 2-3 hours? PLEASE!! I'm 17 points behind skum, and 19 behind dl_monk. So if no one else have sneaked between us, not updating now would be great. Thanx.

Congrats gfoxcook!! 20 000/30 000! Just 10 000 more to go!! With your daily average of about 65 (am I far away?) you only need 5 and a half month more to EGSC!

And you can update the top 50 blammer's list now. he he..

Yeah! Get rid of that crappy lvl 23 staff (and possibly that lvl 14 pipe) and get some more traditional blades in there!

Level - Number of people at that level or higher
28 --- 5
29 --- 4

Look at that! Only one person is level 28. That's nearly as good as being the only level 30!

It's interesting enough to warrant posting.

Down to 100 I used ramagi's list. Down there to level 14, I used the high experience list I'm compiling. The level 18, 17 and 16 cutoffs I could find exactly, as I had people in consecutive ranks at different levels. 15 and 14 I guessed at as my list isn't as complete at those levels (although yesterday, 14 was *exactly* 345, not roughly. It's more now, as at least Violet-AIM should have ranked up), and 13-10 I just took some people who had just recently passed the level up cutoff and estimated from there.

FYI, I've got 197 of the top 200 on said list, and 189 of the top 190. Hopefully the two in the 191-200 range I'm missing are inactive, and Recon, adric et al will pass them soon to make the higher bit more complete. I have 91% of all level 14 or higher users on my list.
