Congrats _lightning_, I like the aura change. We need more light auras on this site.

Congrats on the rank up. These rank-ups are really nice in b/p's.. they really do a great job with the voting power. I might not get as many b/p's this weekend.. because i have a HUGE college paper to work on and work taking up most of the day. I'm still shooting for the 30,000 b/p mark. I want to have that some day.

congrats to _lightning_ on the rank up... whoops i didn't see the other posts..

Then again, getting that first gold badge is a pretty big step, too. #;-}>

Eh, is ok. Much more technical than my first sig that I made for myself, that's for sure.

I think I forgot to comment on lightning's new sig, and I'd meant to yesterday:

I think it's nice, but it gets too dark in the middle. the htn section of lightning, specifically.

I'm 395 away. I shall beat you to the level up yet again!

And I'm 355 points away from level 15, but yes, you shall beat us both. I'll be hitting 15 well before alex hits 19, though.

more importantly, I'm within 500 of Major General at 21,500, having just passed 21,000 in the past couple of hours. Schweet.

Guilty as charged. Aside from going on a mass banning spree today (too many people fell for a spam topic) and getting involved in maybe 2-3 topics at once on General, I haven't been scanning it too indepth as of the past couple of weeks.

When it's a choice between feeling swamped by the BBS and avoiding it for a couple of days and ignoring General and instead being here at home on the WIHT, I choose the latter if I'm in the mood to be on the BBS at all. Which I was.

So... why don't you (or James) let me know what the hell happened on General so I don't have to go searching through you and JmBd's recent posts and be all unlazy, okay? #;-}>

Congrats _lightning_, you're now a commissioned officer in the Newgrounds' Elite Guard. I can still remember how bad I wanted that lieutenant's badge. I think I was passing HAQnSPITT at the time.

Yeah, congrats lightning. I noticed on the top 50 list. Great job finally rebounding from that time when you and the others were all stuck in the 8800s for awhile. Or was it the 8700s... whatever.

Anyone noticed how cleared out the 8000-8999 region has become as of late? Ah well.

Oh, and Spancker officially fell off the list. While it's sad to see that happen, it actually improved the formatting of the list (at my larger-than-normal default font size, at least), because the name column is now less wide due to "the_phantom_spancker" not stretching it super wide.

you get 2% vp and quite a few spots higher in the list too. I like that! And closer to EGSC!

Those are all good things about getting to 2nd Lt indeed...

Lightning, I know what you mean about the badges. The same is true for Major and Lt Colonel...

but that's the way it is in the US Army. 2nd and 1st Lt are both single bars, only the colour of the bar changes. :::shrugs:::

So yeah, like someone said... it's just for realism (not that the Sergeant ranks are quite realistic, but... once you pass Praporshchik, the ranks ARE fairly realistic in look... I think the colours might actually be reversed, though, from a site I went to... the golds should be silver and the silver golds, IOW).

So true ... That voting power of 10 is something I've been wanting for a long time. Makes me look cool, I don't know.
Anyways, thx ! =)

Yeah, I think both of you guys are gonna beat me there due to your higher exp amounts, despite my advantage in blam/save rank...

but my next rankup (should be coming around a week from now) should bump me from 9.09 (I'm 9.07 now, but I'll be up to 9.09 by then, most likely) to 9.24ish or so... I think I'll probably hit a VP of 10 when I rankup to EG General or soon after. That 7% increase in bonus from b/p rank will certainly help a lot more than all these little 2% increases keep helping me.

Denvish pretty much stopped when he hit EG 2nd Lt, so yeah, you'll be past him today, methinks. Yoink may be moving, but there ARE other people besides Denvish who are moving slowly or not at all between 9500-10000. And there's a few just above 10000 as well.

Well, he COULD get back on, if he wants to. But if he disappears again, there's no way, pretty much.

Still, once PZY and Scaper pass Dark Jaymz, that's spancker's best chance. He can get past him, he's not moving much.

Hey,there again.I haven't level up yet,but I will soon only 210 exp. to lvl 12,oh yea.But,I'm posting because once again I leveled up in the blam.save area,for those who are to lazy to read my file,I am now a police officer.I just found out today,because I was on earlier,and I came back so yea!

Well mine increases by 2's and 1's, so it isn't an EXTREMELY big difference. Every little bit helps though.

when it goes up by 1, though, it's only taking out 10% of your day's deposit. When it goes up by 3 it's taking nearly a THIRD of your day's deposit. By the time you get to 5 points every day, that's half of your deposit every day. Your ability to climb just shrinks and shrinks and shrinks.
