I don't care how much I may be tempted to switch auras I'm never changing from neutral. You can't count the time when the old voting system was in place as I had a light aura back then. If I did decide to switch it would probably be to dark mainly because that's the only other aura I've never been. The red background looks great but I'm holding fast to green.

A few people may be switching from neutral, but I switched *to* neutral after a long time being dark not too long ago. Although if there are still a lot of green bats around when I get mine I may switch back to dark :-)

My aura are what it is to make my icon look cool. I think dark looks far better with the bat. And I'm a bit tired of teh green.
If you want to know my real aura, do the following:

Divide the # of entries by the # of total entries submitted.

Divide the # of P. points I have by my total amount of B/P.

Compare. I presume that everybody that cares about this knows how to find these figures, so I won't bother saying where.

It'll be containing part 6 - I've just watched the whole series and that is definitely the highlight. Dunno about 8 though - there's just so much good flash that's been released this year. Hell, I even thought Sonne was a 2002 release, so long ago it was.

In light of the topic, I always been with the Lightside. Most problay because the Description of Light Aura User's Fits me. ;-)

Just looked at those descriptions. I don't think I've actually read those since your voting affected your aura :-)

But looking at those, I'd have to describe myself as neutral, although I've always considered myself dark.

Bah! I'm not from the dark side X, I try to be impartial in most of my views although sometimes it doesn't always work out that way. I think true neutrality in thought and action is reached only by a select few.

heh! Whoa... my alt just hit level 10, too. just deposited my 1070th exp point for PimpMasterGDOG.

I wonder... :::compares exp ranks of you and my alt:::

Flirp:
Experience: Ranked # 4,140 out of 401,665 users!
PimpMasterGDOG:
Experience: Ranked # 4,141 out of 401,665 users!

LOL! Sure enough. That's wild. I think the chances of being right next to someone you're talking to on the BBS when you're over 4000 in any ranking... is quite infinitesimal. #;-}>

Anywho, yeah. Happy Thanksigiving to everyone. Just about 20 minutes from ending here in the CST zone.

I'm thankful that...

I HIT 10,000 SAVES TODAY! What a way to celebrate Thanksgiving on NG. I'm the fourth person ALL TIME to hit 10,000 saves and also to have 10,000+ saves and blams.

Toocool's gonna be the first and only person to hit 10,000 saves without hitting 10,000 blams first, BTW. Niftiness all around!

I noticed your reviews of all 8 parts earlier today when I was 5ing all the beebos as I sometimes do when I think to do it.

We agreed about the ranking of most of them, except I don't agree that 3 is better than 1+2 combined. I loved 1, loved 2 the most of ALL of them (even more than 6), and thought 3 was kinda not as good, actually. But pretty much 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 we saw eye-to-eye.

Anyway, glad you agree with including part 6, at least. I thought 8 was better than 7, and you can never have too much beebo on a list, so that's all I meant by mentioning both. Just putting 6 on the list is surely good enough.

Was this you first time watching ANY of them, BTW?

I remember X, your blams and saves were almost dead even but now you have about 3,100 more blams than saves. Now if anyone should think about switching to the dark side.....

Yeah Rebel those was the times.....But sorry i am going to have to decline on that offer for the darkside - I am going to represent the Neutral all the way......To combat bad flash & save good flash movies/games....

Yours look mighty tasty. mmm... lip-smackin' good.

Well, y'see, what they have in looks they lack in taste. So really, you don't want 'em. Why not go after ramagi's b/p's? They look mighty fine...

They'll slow down pretty soon. Well, at least the b/p rank will, so you might as well start displaying the daily rank for that, if not for the exp rank.

B/p rank's been slow for a while now...

But they might pay me for the idea, in which case I'd be happy!...

Don't count on it...

It's over 3:30 long. Really awesome.

Wow. It's sure worth seeing then!

According to that, I'm a Neutral. I like the look of Light so much better though!

I made an achievement today too, I made 7 VP! I was hoping to rank up before then, but eh. The rank up will come soon enough...

Damn straight, Recon. Preach the Neutral Gospel!

For some reason, though, I coulda sworn that there was one or two levels you said you were planning on changing your aura to dark or light simply because the colour looks better with blue or red, but... maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

I personally think that green looks best with almost every icon. Green also happens to be my fave colour. And perhaps most importantly, Neutral is the aura that most fits me, so why would I want to be anything else?

Therefore, I join in your pact to never change auras. :::saluting:::

'sides, if I ever REALLY got the urge to try being a dark or light aura for awhile, I'd do it on my alt account. I've picked up 3 blams accidentally with it, so I suppose I should make it dark if I ever change it from being neutral as well. #;-}>

Oh, BTW, you mentioned Sonne. DEFINITELY on my top of 2003 list. Sonne, GALAPAGOS, Beebo 6... uh... I Eat People... ummm... I'm sure I can think of more that have to be on it, but those four are a good starting point.

Anyway, yeah, I'd seen the earlier John's Arm when they were new, and didn't get around to watching the latest for like a month after it was submitted, but I did finally get around to that. I've only seen PARTS of Joe Zombie and Perfect Kirby, but getting around to seeing the full series is definitely on my to do list when I get bored and the BBS is dead. #;-}>

it only gets slower from 100, though. 100's where 50 was when I got on the top 50. CRAZY.

It's over 3:30 long. Really awesome.

Wow. It's sure worth seeing then!

Ohhhh yeah. And the commentary is always awesome. Even if it didn't come with like 15 hours of documentaries and photo galleries and storyboards and all that good stuff, it'd be worth it just for the high quality widescreen film + extra 40 minutes + commentaries from tons of the actors, director, writers, other crewmembers, etc. Those are the CORE of a good special edition DVD.

Carry on then!

Yessss sssssir... carrier of the preciousssss...

... I may have forgotten, but am I right in remembering that the precious, to you, is any of the golden rank icons? In that case, you should be trying to steal them from all 41 people that have them, not just me. Unless you like my new 2-star Major General icon especially much.

I think the stars are too far to the sides, which is one of the main reasons I liked Brigadier General's single star better... but it ain't bad. It ain't bad. I'm definitely looking forward to adding another star... and then another... and finally one last star along with flaming wreath. #;-}>

I think you've got him covered in saves at least, James.

For now...

He may pass you in blams, but I really don't think he'll pass you in saves, unless you just stop saving. But hell, man, you're a light aura. GET SAVING! Just hit 10,000 meself. There's nothin' like bein' in the most elite club of elite savior clubs. #;-}>

Good job!

I'm now 70% complete of my Primary Goal...

Nifty.

Well, I just moved up from 9.09 to 9.22 with my rankup, so... I'm getting pretty close to 10.00 myself. Fun fun fun! I think NGling should be updating the VP list at some point soon, too, it's been about a month, and that's his new schedule.

Anyway, guys... I finished up all my sigpic/profilepic/screenshotting/etc.etc. duties that I do every time I rank up... I've basked in my new rank, icon, and +46% bonus to VP... and I'm starting to get a bit tired. I might make it to profile update time and the top 50 list update to see myself officially a Major General on there, but... I think it be time for me to retire from the BBS.

I can't remember how many times I've mentioned this, but one last one:

Going to my grandfather's funeral tomorrow afternoon. Leaving in the morning, staying with my parents and sister overnight, so... won't be back on the computer till mid-to-late Saturday. So, have fun while I'm unable to attend teh NGness, and don't steal my new badge while I'm gone, okay?!?!

Hope you guys all enjoy the top 50 saves and top 50 blams updates you've been waiting for. Specific pages with them on it are linked to in my sig accurately... what else... oh, and anyone who hasn't seen it, check out the new 10,000 triple stat list thingie, everyone who sees it seems to be enjoying it... and...

I'll be back in 36-42ish hours, peops. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Why is my post a woops? I didn't do anything wrong...

BTW, you just hit 4,444 posts. All 4's! Nice!

I think recon meant that you, James, should post the 4000 screenshot of BMB. But as BMB had 4001 at the time (I think, cause it is likely he made his 4000nd post here to annouce it rather than his 3999) and then he posted the "whoops". That makes 4001, so James didn't attach a pick becuase it would be fake. Anyway...

I attached recon's 4444 post screenshot too! Whops, I didn't forget it!

FAO gfoxcook - yes, that was a new find you emailed me - definitely a different person to Malificient. I tried replying to your email but it bounced, saying I was from a spamhaus or something :-(

If they're blam material, they need to be blammed. It's voting fairly, I don't have even the slightest bit of guilt at zeroing anything that sucks. Hell, if you click on the "neutral" link below your picture, it's going with the norm so technically it's neutral :-)
