And not ran achievement, but I was pleased to wake up this morning to discover that I had become a 13337 B/Per

37,000 Saves!

And not a single blam gained today. But believe me, it isn't due to lack of trying... >:(

That's still hundreds - thirteen hundred deposits, nearly.

Yes, but when you say "hundreds" I think "a few hundreds". Over 1000 is far more than "a few hundreds", however.

It's not become thousands, until you've reached 2,000+ There isn't one between that that I am aware of.

Well, what about "over 1000"?

Yeah, but in the progression of "tens, dozens, scores, hundreds, over a thousand, thousands", it doesn't seem to work.

True, but still the word "hundreds" just "feels" to be way less than 1288.

Oh and now I've had a change of facial hair, so have a look, a laugh and let me know!

I don't know why, but your hairdo always reminds me of some strange guy that was awesomely well known in Germany during the 30's and 40's...

Yeah, but he was Austrian and therefore sucked.

"The Austrians succeeded in making the world think that Hitler was a german and Mozart was an austrian."

Forgot who said that, but it's oh so true.

I had to look it up, but Mozart was born in Salzburg, which was at the time part of the Holy Roman Empire. So does that make him a holy roman?

Actually that makes him a Salzburgian. ;)
See here.
He always referred to himself as being Deutsch (german) and referred to his "beloved german fatherland" in many letters.

But to be really historical correct he's neither german nor austrian. It's just that Salzburg now is part of Austria, but it wasn't back then. Or you could say he's both german AND austrian. But he's not ONLY austrian. ^^

There are some good heavy metal italian vocalists so no excuses there.

Yes, but not everybody has the same talent for languages.

But it gets even worse, the chorus is SO unbelivably bad that one might think this is just a parody band like Nanowar...

It does feel like that. They should be ashamed of themselves for this record.

They sure should be. Maybe I'll try to check out some other stuff later...

Also, when hearing "Drakkar", I think of Drakkar Entertainment, a record label that has much better bands to offer than Drakkar... (ok, maybe except for Emil Bulls)

All you need to bring up is Kreator and you get a thumbs up.

I could also bring up Haggard. :P

Would EPs do?

I'm not a fan of EPs or singles. I want the REAL stuff!

There are worthwhile EPs out there that have actual songs as opposed to just alternative version crap like what Dream Theater did on the Wither EP.

Yeah, I'm still more into LPs.

We can't hope for many things. At least we are getting the redesign.

Why can't the staff just combine one thing with the other? Redesigning the page and acidentally deleting Armissea from the database?

So he gets deleted in the process. I'm good with that.

Would be hilarious. "The redesing is out! We just had a minor database hiccup and as a result one user's data was lost..."

I can easily see that. Way too many competitive depositers around there. At least you have a bunch of users to pass within the 47-50 range.

That's true. The amount of inactive users should be higher in the range of 100-200, but the gaps are so big that it doesn't really matter in the end.

Trust me, those who you'll pass in that range will help a lot. Because of them, I'm in the higher part of #101-200.

It's still sometimes annoying to see how big the gaps are to those inactive users. I mean, I wasn't inactive for THAT long, was I? I have a deposit rate of ~60%, so that means over half of the time I have been active... and yet it still allowed the gaps between me and accounts with a sign up date not as long ago as mine to become that big... highly annoying.

What were you meant to get on the pre-2007 redesign again? I remember the level icons very well, just not what level you were on.

Back then I was at level 14. I was hoping to get to levels 15 and 16 before the redesign but they sprang it before I could get to it. Back then I had only missed about a weeks worth of deposits so even with those points I wouldn't have gotten to level 15 (Since the bar was shifting, and I was still a good couple of deposits from level 15)

When the redesign came along they made the level 15 chain (By old levels) into the level 16 chain. However, I was skipped to level 27. WHile I am happy that it got me past a lot of the shitty lower levels, I will was pushed passed the chain. On the upside I did get the level 27 (Which were equal to the level 16) Numchucks.

Dude of all the threads on this website this is the last thread that would ever need a bump. People are consistantly posting their stat ups, as well as having conversations with other users since this thread is also the regulars lounge for this section of the BBS.

In other words no.

8,000 saves.

Oh yes, those were some good level icons. I ended at level 16 and for the 2007 redesign, my last level is the golden shurikens. Would have liked it to have been the golden sword but oh well. There's still tons of other good things that should be happening.

It counts as a level up since you whistle went up in power. As for them showing off the whistle points, Never going to happen since by doing so it would cause udder choas with the whistle system since it isn't suppose to be a stat like B/P or EXP.

Good thing there wheren't that many border changes in the past few years. Except for the crumbling of Sovjet Russia and the spawning of many many new countries, war in ex-Yugoslawia, and of course the falling of the inner-german border. But this all happened in the 90's, so it has been quiet for some time now.

Level 24, and I got a bronze whistle a while ago too. I really like this icon.. in fact I'd almost consider stopping depositing so I could keep it, but it'll probably be gone once the redesign hits anyway. Ah well :(

You can gain 10 experience points by voting on 5 different flashes per day. Just click one of the pico heads to vote, then do the same 4 times again. You can only gain 10 experience points per day. When you got enough experience points, then you will level up. You can see all levels and the needed experience points here:
http://www.newgrounds.com/lit/levels
Right now, you need 20 more experience points to level up to Level 3.
