With the recent locking of the OCP, it got me wondering, will this topic be able to stay away from the red tank? For a start, this is essentially a stat topic and it's a Club but not in the C&C forum. I just wondered, when I looked at the grand 8,000+ plus post count of this topic, will we ever make it to 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? Will level up! live forever?

If it was locked, I know it would put a big dent in my motivation to come here.

You'r special. You'r on of the most dedicated NG fans around. I'm proud to have a VP just a bit higher than you. It's like you had competitions with people about posts, and we all know how that went...

"Special". That one word has so many meanings, it's unbelievable. Thanks though. Always nice to hear a compliment from a respected peer. Actually, I don't even know if you are a "peer".

Yes, I'm 13.

And that makes you quite possibly the most mature 13-year old that I've ever come into contact with. It's just that I know tons of people at 16 who are still idiots. It's refreshing to know that there are still some intelligent teens out there.

Precisely what I was about to say. Man, gfoxcook, you must really hate people who don't know the limits of moderators. You don't need to explain it to me though. I already know all about it. I just assumed that you might know a little more information about it just because you're a moderator. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding, man. I'm not suddenly pissed off at all NG moderators or anything. In fact, I'm not even all that pissed about the OCP going the way of the Titanic...

1000 a week is that all...too bad you guys started all your list once was at the higher ranks. My avg per week would have scared ppl.

Well, technically we ALL had 0000000000000... etc. at one point. #;-}>

But I don't have 1000 saves. Yet. Picking up saves is quite easy at the moment for some strange reason. Can't wait for the christmas silly season to kick off, if there is a christmas silly season.

You will soon! I have forseen it... yes...

Wade told me it would be coming in a couple of months via email.

Cool!

It was only a quick comment so I couldn't be arsed to format it properly. I thought it was fairly easy to understand though...

the letters in front of all the numbers were frying my brain at first. It looked kinda like hex code. heh.

That's completely untrue, though. That I'm more likely to know anything than anyone else, I mean.

I thought I'd pretty much covered this, but like I said before, there is NO communication between mods BEFORE we do things.

There are times that someone will talk about a thread they locked on the forum and ask the opinion of other mods, or say "was I too harsh" or something, but it's all an afterthought. Now, HAD a mod been behind the OCP being locked, it's possible there may have been a topic about it.

But as I said before, an ADMIN locked it. The admins don't tend to ask if they were too harsh in locking a topic. If they locked it, they wanted it locked, and they don't need anyone's approval, including us mods. You guys may think we're elevated or something, but the admins are the only true people with power on NG, as it should be, really. They're the only people truly invested in this site in more ways than one.

I gotta say, I didn't know everything you just posted then and I don't think it's common knowledge either.

Well, I'm sorry if I assumed you guys knew (or should know) things you don't. And I'm aware that a mod's responsibilities and powers aren't described in a detailed manner in the BBS rule list or anything... but there's been plenty of talk of such things in many topics. Eh. Still, I assumed. Sorry muchly.

Well, if we all pulled spanckers and stopped posting here, it obviously wouldn't live forever.

The reason this topic hasn't been moved to the C&C isn't that it has escaped notice. liljim knows perfectly well about our topic, and if he felt it belonged in C&C, it would have been in C&C months ago.

It's still here because it serves as a WIHT lounge.

Now, I think one thing that should be considered at some point if it's possible... is renaming it. We get so many noobs, after all, who come in here and talk about levels and ask how to get exp, and so forth... when they should either be searching for topics about that or creating new topics (not preferable, but certainly better than spamming up level up! with it)... all because the title is "level up!"

And I'm all for leaving it level up! due to history and all, but if we could get it changed to "Where is/How to? Lounge" or somesuch, I wouldn't object. Politics has a Regular's Lounge, BTW. Same thing as level up! pretty much.

If it was locked, I know it would put a big dent in my motivation to come here.

I doubt it would ever be locked unless one or more of us committed some huge error in judgement.

Because, as you said, it would really reduce our motivation to come here. If this topic got locked, and we couldn't make a new topic for general conversation, a lot less of us would be helping noobs with their questions and problems, and that would mean more spamming up the other boards with their questions, and more e-mails from them to the admins, and just more chaos.

The reason I joined this group in April is that it's a USEFUL group. In my opinion, the most useful group on NG. The Blam Club might once have held that title, but probably not any longer.

We serve as a focal point for question answering, and this topic is how we remain sane amongst the noob question topics. Without this topic... I know I'd come to the BBS less often, that's for sure. Some would stop coming altogether.

And chaos would certainly increase, if not take over completely.

Our topic is in the best interest of NG. #;-}>

I don't hate anyone, man. I hate it when people do things though. Don't confuse the two, please...

I'm not suddenly pissed off at all NG moderators or anything.

Anyway... I didn't think you were grouping me together with all the mods or anything, but you did sound like you were saying I knew something that I wasn't telling you or something. If I'd known this was coming, I would have warned you, man. You just gave me the impression you felt betrayed by me or something. Sorry if I overreacted.

Still, I cannot exaggerate the amount of complaining I hear from people about other mods and their actions. And this event wasn't even mod-related, it was admin-related. So... there ya go. Not much more to be said about it (I am talking about it over in the CCC if you hadn't noticed, though).

...

4020 posts is good. I'll leave it there for now. G'night all.

I may be updating the top 50 lists soon, also.

Yes, but you can see how people could quite easily come to a different conclusion, right?

Now, HAD a mod been behind the OCP being locked, it's possible there may have been a topic about it.

And therefore you might have known something about it.

But as I said before, an ADMIN locked it.

Yes, but as there is USUALLY no way to tell between the two, you'll get people asking you if you know anything about it.

You guys may think we're elevated or something

You are. You have more power than us BBS users, therefore you are elevated.

Still, I assumed. Sorry muchly.

Is ok. Jimmy forgive you. ;P

Haha! I don't see how anyone could argue with that essay!

I don't have a problem with that either gfox but we should get the opinions of the other members if at all possible. Also, I've never heard of a topic being renamed once it was started. The administrators can do that can't they?

I think it should still stay "level up!".

For an official place for celebrating is needed, and when a newbie comes in to post that he's leveled, we congratulate him and give him a good welcome. Plus us oldbies celebrate too. I know when I reach really high goals, I'll wanna brag about it here.

If the name is changed, "level up" should be included. "WI/HT Lounge and Level Up?"

OR you could have read my signature.. I like to brag about my B/P there, since peopel don't have to open my profile then to know it, but everyone will after scrolling down the page while reading posts.. It's kind of an advertisement. Enough about my silly thoughts on that.

"Special". That one word has so many meanings, it's unbelievable. Thanks though. Always nice to hear a compliment from a respected peer. Actually, I don't even know if you are a "peer". After all, you are higher than me in terms of Experience. You haven't missed a single day of depositing, have you? I missed, like, a month when I went on all those vacations...

Yes, It is a funny word! Like: "Little Jon is special, that's why he goes in that school outside town". I've made so many jokes with that. Like congratulating someone you don't really like (and is a bit dimwitted).
Peer: Umm... POSTS, damn it, POSTS! I'm like the little grunt and you'r the archmage (please play Warcraft 3). And you are over me in B/P. So you are a much "higher" NG user than me. Althouhg I don't count posts for that. But I think B/P is much more important than exp. Exp is for lazy people.. he he.
I have missed 13 days and 130 exp. But now KoRnFreaker or lightning will deposit for me when I am away. I lost this exp when I wasn't into the BBS and didn't know anyone.

And that makes you quite possibly the most mature 13-year old that I've ever come into contact with. It's just that I know tons of people at 16 who are still idiots. It's refreshing to know that there are still some intelligent teens out there.

I'll countinue to refeer to your profile text. Thanx once more. You aren't dumb either, btw. I'm fed up with the general board and clubs and crews, so stick around this bord where peopel have intelligense and likes numbers! And aren't you going to say something about my english now? hmm?? =) lol =) LOL!!! j/K

i'm now #170 of exp points and why am i saying that? bcouse i was#175 on monday and why am i saying that? becouse is really hard to get any higher if your this high =(

I agree too. There's always gonna be people who want to help out others and are interested in the various NG statistics. This would be the best forum to start searching in plus this place still has a lot of die-hard individuals who frequently drop by.

Ah, it's a great day for James0. Just now I've obtained my 4,452nd b/p point which puts me in 100th place. Haha! A winner is me!

Of course they can. Don't you remember when C&C was created? A ton of threads were moved from general to C&C. Most of the main clubs, like the Blam Club, Anime Club, etc. etc. were all moved to C&C at once.

level up! would have been moved then if it was ever gonna be moved.

But like I said, wouldn't make sense to move our lounge.

Now, I think one thing that should be considered at some point if it's possible... is renaming it.

Well, they need help and feel the need to ask somewhere. It doesn't really matter where they ask, really. It's easier if they ask here, because most of us frequent here.

Yeah, but new topics or searching is more orderly. Little help posts get lost in here, and how likely do you think it is that a noob who asked the question 3 days ago is gonna read through ALL the new posts in level up! to see if his question was answered amongst all those posts?

Better to have it in a short little 10 post thread.

We'd cut down on tons of noob spam in here if the name was changed.

But I do understand why you like the tradition of it. Still, if it was renamed, would we really have to stop celebrating level and rankups?! O_o

If the name is changed, "level up" should be included. "WI/HT Lounge and Level Up?"

Or just ... "Level Up! WIHT Lounge" or "WIHT Level Up! Lounge"

I like the second of those more, kinda has a ring to it...

Hey, 5 spots is 5 spots. I was 291 for like 4 days straight, but then jumped to 288 all on one day, and then 287 the next and now 286 today. So that's nice. You never know when you'll suddenly pass a person or two. It's what keeps me depositing.

and no this thread will never get deleted or locked but i'm sure one day people will just stop posting on it =( and please don't change the name of the thread.

Okay, that makes 2 votes against changing it. Anyway, this isn't an official vote right now or anything, but it seems like a 1/3 wouldn't mind a Lounge name, 1/3 don't care much either way, 1/3 want it level up! no matter what thing.

IOW, no clear consensus for change, so it should stay level up!

My thoughts exactly - I don't think spancker would be creating a topic quite this size :-)

Anyway, I'm nearly in the top 150 of blam/protect... somehow jumped four places last night despite not really blamming that much, only like 20 points tops.

Will have my top 50 of the year out today - I have the positions worked out, and 50-21 written up. I'll start posting chunks of it in a short while.

Congrats. Well, it's not really "somehow." A few people were sitting still right in front of you, that's all. Don't be surprised that there's plenty of inactive people grouped together where you are in the ranks. If the same thing were to happen when you're ranked #55 or so, then yes, it's time to be surprised. #;-}>

Cool.

In other news... lightning, I had to delete a post you made in that 1+ year old thread that guy bumped to try and restart his flame war with spancker.

Anywho, both his post and your post are gone now, I just wanted to let you know so you won't be surprised when your postcount drops by one.

I read that thread, and was amazed by how much of an immature asshole that guy was, all while lording over spancker that he was 22 and spancker was 13. And then he comes back a year later, a year that spancker's been gone for more than half or, overall, and tries to restart the war? Sooooo freakin' lame and sooooo freakin' banned.

I think he was mostly pissed off that spancker was saying America was cooler than the UK, as they're both from England. All of his recent posts are in the politics board. He seemed to want to stretch his battles with pro-American people on politics over here to resume that shit with spancker. Christ.

I am an elite guard Praporshchik!! The golden land have been reached again (police captain)!!! Could I learn how to spell it right from now on? My VP is 7.80! Not much left for 8, and half way of the utter maximum. And a little bit more to 10.00. I've done my part of making the top 50 pure officer land. Scaper will soon join me, although he has stopped getting points the few days... hmm.. I'll pass hice with his 8002 points, and from there it is the dreaded 600 points gap up to Toocool. I don't look forward to go past him, it kinda feels like cheating. But that will take me quite some months. he he.

Congrats on your new rank. Don't feel too bad about passing Toocool. After all, it is his own choice to only accumulate protection points.

Congrats on getting back to the gold badges, man! Anyway, you spelled it right right up there, but... did you copy/paste it? #;-}>

Anyway, it's pretty easy to remember.

Porsh
Chik

split it up that way. It's certainly the way I remember it, at least.

My VP is 7.80! Not much left for 8, and half way of the utter maximum.

yep... getting close to 8.00 / 16.00 there.

And a little bit more to 10.00.

I dunno about "little bit more," man. #;-}> I was at 8.00 (well, I jumped over it) at the end of July. And now, about 5 months later, I'm not even to 9.30 yet, and I'm running out of rankups that can push me higher.

You gotta just keep depositing the exp and don't give up on the blams and saves. Congrats on the rankup and on passing Hice, though!

Yeah, pure officer land... well, at least Warrant Officer and Up land. #;-}> pretty soon all the Sergeant ranks will be off the list, that's for sure.

Anyway, don't think of it as "cheating," he passed you at some point, so what's wrong with passing him back?

indeed. Speaking of toocool and his unique method of rank climbing...

I'm wondering if I can pass fixit, RyoHahn, and ramagi in protects before toocool can pass me.

It's an interesting sort of race. While my protects have fallen about 1500 behind my blams as of late, the protects are going along okay during the holiday season, so we'll see if I can get anywhere near 11,000 by the end of the year. I think I've got a good chance to take #1 at some point, but if Toocool passes me, it'd be tough to get it without him stopping for awhile. Fun fun fun.

And with that, that makes 4040, a nifty number. G'night all, I'm gonna go pass out.

Oh, and I'm leaving town on Sunday morning, going to a dentist my parents use in Austin on Monday morning. I'll be back by Monday evening, though, so no worries. I'll probably be posting more before I leave, but just in case I don't (as often happens), have a good rest of the weekend, and see yas laters.
