I don't want to sound like an attention whore or anything by posting this, but I've decided to stop making list. I usually don't have much to say here, so my post ends up consisting of only the list, and that doesn't look very good in my post history.

7th NG account birthday! No news post about it just yet. You'll get to se it later on. For now, here's Carcass!

EXP
2010: 21,830
2011: 25,480
Difference: 3,650
Comment: Perfect as always! Keep it up and I'll be level 52 this time next year. By then I'll have a taste of what 30,000 EXP is like.

Level
2010: 45
2011: 48
Difference: 3
Comment: This is the part where I expect to slow down with levelling up but the level difference will be 4 this time next year.

EXP rank
2010: 166
2011: 134 (or 135 counting the one deactivated user at level 50)
Difference: 32
Comment: A lot slower than I was last year. It's not going to be any easier considering there's only 11 dead users ahead of me so that'll make me rank #123 and that's not considering the semi-active users. Top 120 should be easily reachable for me but if I'm lucky, I'll be in the top 115. I'll give it two years until I'm actually in the top 100.

Blams

Comment: LOL!

Saves

2011: 37,777
Difference: 0
Comment: This is where I may as well stop bringing up B/P on my anniversary posts simply because I've had the flagged entry blams cleared from me and now there won't be anymore B/P from this account. Well, I suppose there will if B/P ranks went beyond my retirement rank.

B/P

Comment: As you can see from myself last year and now, myself as a forum mod has made an impact on my posting habits. Maybe I'll slow down by a notch but you should see me with 30,000 posts within 12 months time.

Flashes
2010: 100
2011: 98
Difference: -2
Comment: Sorry, I had to get rid of some utterly bad flashes of mine. Maybe I'll take down more in the near future.

Medal Points
2010: 11,500
2011: 21,515
Difference: 10,015
Comment: It may not be impressive but you all should know I don't dedicate enough time to medals because I have tons of icons to work on. Maybe once all the icons are done, I'll focus on medals 10x more but it's still a long way off until the ultimate goal is reached, especially when there's still at least 90,000 more submissions to cover.

Medals
2010: 447
2011: 1,230
Difference: 783
Comment: I'd like to thank those 0-zero medal entries for a huge boost on the amount of medals I've collected. Even if I work on loads of icons, hopefully I still find time to obtain all those easy medals so I'm doing both. :P

Total Points (EXP + B/P + Posts + Reviews)

2011: 131,043

Comment: I've actually done quite well here considering this is where I've stopped B/P'ing for good and only review the occasional flash. Again, it's only a big boost because of posting.

Total Points (EXP + B/P + Posts + Reviews + Medals)
2010: 123,847
2011: 132,273
Difference: 8,426
Comment: Now this is the combined stats I'll use for next year providing I'm still around but I don't see why I won't considering the rest of the internet is actually worse than this site. Anyway, seeing a +8,000 for total points makes me happy. At this rate, I'll reach 150k total points by my ninth NG account birthday. I should be aiming for 200k but my pace makes it a long way off, unless we're introduced a whole new stat for the redesign but I doubt that.

Icons
2010: 2,400 (this is my estimate)
2011: 11,280
Difference: 8,880
Comment: This one is really for laughs. I didn't know how many I had exactly last year but 2,400 sounds about right for me. Now I took some long breaks from icon modding last year, particularly when I was in full-time employment. How my icon modding performance will do depends on whether I'll get a job this time next year or not. If so, I'm sure I won't be doing so much for icons. Otherwise, maybe I can make 10,000 within a year. I did almost 9,000 over the 12 months even with a 6 month break from it. Doing 300 each week for about 50 weeks would be 15,000 icons made within a year so with that and what I've done right now, that'll be 26,280 and that's also considering the other icon mods don't do a whole lot of work. We'll just have to wait and see. :P

But Anton Chigurh is a different kind of cool. The kind of "I don't really have to, but I'm gonna shoot you with my silenced shotgun anyway".

But he gets away with the "cool face" anyway.

You'd need quite a pair of balls to stand up against him :p

Or we should ask Richard Dean Anderson. He was in that series that kinda looked like this.

Stargate? That series sucks big time.

Lol yeah probably. I never watched it, I just referenced South Park XD

Hmm I don't actually see an awful lot of Mercedes cars on the roads here. They seem to have become less popular over the past few years.

Yeah, but I'm guessing the rules book is 10 times bigger 0.0

Though it can't be worse than the Bridge manual.

Want to bet?

From what I heard the basics of Bridge is a pretty thick book already and there are tons of variations to the game. 10x bigger might be overacting a bit, but I'm pretty sure it's got to be bigger.

It was fun, but pretty difficult. The instructor had to 'bowl' because nobody else could.

Yeah, that's normal.

I'm still amazed at how he could throw the ball a meter wide and still make it bounce towards the wickets. It's not like our sports field was all that smooth.

Ah it sounds fun then, but I suppose you have to help arrange a lot too don't you?

I loved the responsibility. I won't ever have to do it again though, which is a plus.

Well none of my friends are planning to get married yet, so I don't see myself being asked for best man anytime soon either.

Oh yeah that Pokemonpoeguygcn guy. He'll pass me too sooner or later :(

Yeah, but they're assholes.

At least they tell you right away when something big happens. Without Facebook or Twitter, where will I get instant updates?

I do pretty well without. And I find Twitter a VERY overrated medium anyway -.-'

Yep and I won't be able to get up there for a looong time -.-'

Sadly so and the blammers update gets updated even less frequently. That reminds me, I did ask Wylo last month for a VP update but he never responded. Maybe his life got too busy? Well, not busy enough to find a minute to deposit, haha. Maybe I should make an emergency spreadsheet incase he disappears and never comes back.

Maybe ask him again? He did say a while ago that we should just give him a PM if we wanted an update. Otherwise yeah... it might be good to keep a back-up. It would be a shame if that list got lost.

Nooooooo way! The Simpsons Movie was alright and Batman & Robin was terrible!

Both are terrible but The Simpsons Movie outsucks Batman & Robin. At least that film wasn't throwing environmental messages down your throat for 90 minutes.

No, but at least I had a few laughs out of the Simpsons Movie. With Batman & Robin my face was pretty much like 0____0 the whole time.

Yeah I believe every Final Fantasy has this one awesome place to train in. Though I still gotta find it in Final Fantasy V :s

It might be the interdimensional zone. Just wonder around in the last place. Well, that's the best you can get until you find something else.

Yeah I'm wandering around there now. Monsters indeed give good exp and AP there. I'm not sure how much I will really need it at this point though. I pretty much mastered all the classes for each character that I wanted to master AND I got the Mimic class so that I can set up some awesome ability combos.

Not going to lie I do want that one, I've been enjoying Anthrax for a good long time now. I think aside from Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and No Doubt were some of the first bands I ever heard when I was about 3-5 years old, good times.

Yeah, but if you take into the fact that Bridge has so many variations, it beats cricket. There are three versions of Cricket (Test being 5 days, One day format being 40 or 50 overs per side and Twenty20 being 20 overs per side) We play other versions in village games (50, 40, 36 over matches per side; 12 x 8 ball overs on Wednesday evenings and the 10:10, where each team plays 10 overs and both sides use 10 different bowlers for their overs.)

I'm still amazed at how he could throw the ball a meter wide and still make it bounce towards the wickets. It's not like our sports field was all that smooth.

Pretty sure I saw someone a couple years back manage to get a post count average of 300+ on their first day here. Not to sure if they got banned that day or not though. That would be like posting once every couple of minutes.

Some people just find a few threads that they can converse in. ZAAL found about 2 dozen of these a day and it is possible, but most people getting 300 posts on day 1 are just banable material.

Time to go on working toward my next milestone then, becoming #3 on the audio review list which is taking a while. Although at my pace 2,136 is not far away and since he is inactive it may not take long thankfully.

Good luck with that. I've got to plough through the RRC audio, because I need to get at least 50% for the week!

Don't you guys go out after a victory to celebrate? Well next time watch him while he eats and see. Don't worry it won't look strange.

We generally go to the bar for a few pints afterwards. I might buy him a burrito next year and get the steward to microwave it for us after the game.

Glad to see it. Plan on buying it this weekend along with some new band shirts and maybe some tv show shirts (I rarely buy either of them so it could work).

Nice one. Despite its flaws, it's still a worthy addition to Anthrax.

I still have 15 more to go.

Just 15? Not more than that?!

That goes all the way up to the end of the year.

I reach level 52 in August so leap year won't make much of a difference.

Nicely done. Leveling up is always nice and the longer you stay the longer it takes to level up. Not bad though since it shows dedication to the site. Probably in order of things you can get the earliest to things that take forever is like this:

Can't argue with that.

I made a request to cut them off.

That is very interesting to know, so you can just have a certain amount removed if you ask and wait?

It's very rare this happens and only the retired B/P'ers at certain counts have ever had this. I can only count two others who had some points sliced off.

Since I still don't have anything from Anthrax (but I thought about picking something up for quite some time now...), which album would you say I should get first?

Among the Living, for sure. After that, go for Persistence of Time.

You are so right.

Wait, does that mean we are agreeing with each other once more?

Well, it's only shitty cookie cutter authors.

In that case, try Video Games.

I post there every now and then. But most of the times the threads are about games I never played (ego shooters, etc.)

Then make threads about games you like.

I still have yet to hit 6,000 blams. Oh well, give it time, I'll get there. Ironically it is a bit harder to get blam points these days. :-(

No shit, it took me 4 years just to get 2000 blams! The behavior of voting is fucked up:(

And I've also reached 78,000 BP!

I got a Saves achievement yesterday so that can only mean I'm really close to another Blam achievement. Stay tuned.

Maybe ask him again? He did say a while ago that we should just give him a PM if we wanted an update. Otherwise yeah... it might be good to keep a back-up. It would be a shame if that list got lost.

Maybe you could ask him? I'd hate to give him another PM when he hasn't done the update yet.

Alright, I'll shoot him a PM.

No, but at least I had a few laughs out of the Simpsons Movie. With Batman & Robin my face was pretty much like 0____0 the whole time.

There were jokes in The Simpsons Movie?

Spiderpig, Spiderpig...

No actually, that was one of the less funnier ones.

Yeah I'm wandering around there now. Monsters indeed give good exp and AP there. I'm not sure how much I will really need it at this point though. I pretty much mastered all the classes for each character that I wanted to master AND I got the Mimic class so that I can set up some awesome ability combos.

You want enough to take on Omega and Shinryu. ;)

Beaten and beaten!

To be honest I did look at a let's play because Omega kept kicking my ass. Shinryu is actually surprisingly easy if you know that he's vulnurable to blind and berserk.

Yeah, but if you take into the fact that Bridge has so many variations, it beats cricket. There are three versions of Cricket (Test being 5 days, One day format being 40 or 50 overs per side and Twenty20 being 20 overs per side) We play other versions in village games (50, 40, 36 over matches per side; 12 x 8 ball overs on Wednesday evenings and the 10:10, where each team plays 10 overs and both sides use 10 different bowlers for their overs.)

Those mostly sound like variations that decide how long the game will last.

I'm still amazed at how he could throw the ball a meter wide and still make it bounce towards the wickets. It's not like our sports field was all that smooth.

Ah, a bit of wicked turn. My cutter does something like that and because of the wind across me on Sunday, it was practically straight.

I suppose they designed the ball especially so that it can curve a lot?

Well none of my friends are planning to get married yet, so I don't see myself being asked for best man anytime soon either.

My mum asked me if I'd be considered for Best Man for my brother. I'm not even planning on going to the wedding, I object to the bride so much.

Plus little Coop can't afford me.

And because you couldn't really get along well with your brother, right?

Yeah... once again. We nicknamed him "the man of porcelain" in Holland.

And they booted van Gaal last season. And now media is talking shit about how Bayern has to get "van Gaal out of they playing style" as if everything was complete and utter shit when van Gaal was there. They made it to the CL finals with him as a coach, for god's sake!

Yeah and they won the title if I'm not mistaken. I loved how he reused his speech from when he won the title with AZ Alkmaar in Holland. "Wir sind die besten von Dortmund! Wir sind die besten von Berlin! Wir sind die besten von Hamburg! Und jetzt sind wir die besten von Deutschland!".

Though obviously he used Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven etc. in his Dutch version :p

Anyway, it sucks how coaches can go from hero to zero so quickly and always have to take the blame in the football industry. I feel sorry for some of them.

Nah I didn't. But maybe they altered it a little for our musical? I can't blame the singer though. She was one of the very few in our school who had some real singing and acting talent.

Maybe I like the song better because the version I have is immediatly followed by "Let the sun shine in", which is a pretty good song as well.

I can't remember that one. The only one that really sticked with me is that Aquarius song.

You'd need quite a pair of balls to stand up against him :p

Or a cooler "cool face", so he's like "get the fuck out of here!"

Or he flips a coin and insists that you call it and makes a very awkward scene.

Yeah maybe people feel a bit too much like a show-off here with a Mercedes. Personally I don't like the cars that much, but they do look like a status symbol.

Only old and retired people (or young turkish boys) drive a mercedes!

I think the Turkish boys mostly drive BMWs here. I often find it hilarious :p

I remember when the anthrax scare started they held a little tour and showed that despite there being a new disease that shared their band name they refused to change their name which was pretty cool considering they had that name way before the disease came along and got its name.

They even had an album called Spreading the Disease, haha.

That goes all the way up to the end of the year.

Oh, alright then.

I'm afraid I have no plans for any Monday Metal Treasures for 2012. If more people commented on my posts, I'd go ahead with it but I don't think it's been successful enough for a second round. For this reason, I'm going with new plans once I've finished writing up the last remaining posts.

It's very rare this happens and only the retired B/P'ers at certain counts have ever had this. I can only count two others who had some points sliced off.

Ahh, alright then. Sounds good.

It sure does. The only ones that have had that are myself, gfox and ramagi. Maybe Denvish as well but I can't quite recall now.

It's like he knew he made a bad LP from the very start so he could make this video. That saying, the "Don't kill me" gag was far too overused. Also, I see he's still up to his shitty scary slow-mo jokes. Those were never funny to begin with.

I'm happy I'm this high up. A second alternative for retirement would have been 50,000 blams and 50,000 saves but I'm good with where I am. Maybe this time next year I'll be close to falling off the top 30.
