Hello, Again. GoldenDragon, back with yet another b/p rank up...

Police Captin w/ 651 blams and 350 Saves!
Just got it,so I fell so happy. I wasn't expecting to level up until next week, oh well still good.
As for level 13, I'd say I'd get it by March...
But, after Police Captain what comes next?
And what do I need to get there, so I can start planning on when I should get another b/p rank up.
Until, thabks once again, and congratulations to the people that level up before I come back. Oh and congrats to the people that leveled up before I came.

Nice...

You'll hit Elite Guard Private at 1,500 combined... for a full listing please do a search for blam/protect ranks... for the time being all you need to know is they go up in steps of 500 until you reach 3K.

Just made EG PFC today. Go me.

Congrats. Be proud of your well-earned stripes. ^_^

Yay I just made Safety Patrol!

100 B/S! Woo! LOL!

Congrats RiZzOmAn_WhlgFeD, I'd like to say I remember the first time I made safety patrol but it just ain't happening.

I started off as a... Police Lieutenant... I think.

I remeber when I earned the "orange seatbelt" faintly. If I recall correctly it was at 50 blams and 50 protects, too.

Hey Joe, why did you pick up a few blam/protect points roughly a week ago? Was it to stay one step ahead of DuMa_RyoHahn?

... and what the hell does DuMa_RyoHahn stand for anyway?

I was bored. So I voted.

Ahhh... so you don't care if he eventually passes you in points?

Haha! Most of the time when I ask you a question I start with "Hey Joe" (where you goin' with that gun in your hand?)

I suddenly feel like breaking into a Jimi Hendrix tune.

You my sir, have passion! Serious passion. Guess NG is one of your favourite hobbies.
Talking about role model user. I did know you liked to keep track of stuff, but this exeeds my wildest phantasies.

heh. Well, during 2003, yes, NG was indeed my favourite hobby, supplanting reading, writing, music, films, computer games, sports, lego, and various other things that have been #1 in terms of time spent at various times (but not in 2003 #;-}>).

What will 2004 hold? Well, who knows. But I do know I'll be spending a lot less time on NG when I hit EGSC, that's the only certainty.

Not to say that I won't still be getting b/p. I don't want to sit right on the edge of the rank and watch everyone pass me by. I'll be heading upwards at least to the 36,000 range ramagi's at, though nowhere near as high as fixit is going. #;-}> (I predicted to someone on AIM, BTW, that in a few months the list is going to be 1. fixit, 2. Crono, 3. ramagi, 4. gfox)

and then there's always exp.

Speaking of exp, look at the lovely message I got when I deposited 8 hours ago. I'm just 16 hours away from my FREEDOM FROM THIS DAMNED LEVEL 14 PIPE, people! Cheer with me now. #;-}>

congrats only 50 more and i will be police luitenant

Well last time I talked to Crono, he said he was going to slow down. He said he may top around 32K or something like that. Since there was no point to going on. I think fixit is wasting his life away peronaly.

A lot of rank ups recently it seems.

Just reached Elite Guard Major.

Cheers to that gfox the cook! I still await to level up to the Steel Pipe. Someday..

Yeah, he could be part of a car assembly line, or something in a canning factory, a drill press/bandsaw in a school technology lab, or one of those little bomb defusing robots. :)

LOL... i was looking at that and going.. what is he talking about? then it occured to me. A ROBOT, YES!! ;-)

Right on daredevilguy, stick with it and you'll make the Elite Guard in no time!

... and if you can't deposit your experience points for some reason get someone you can trust to cover for you (not Josh Bend).

Oh, really? well, make it fixit ramagi gfox Crono, then. I definitely won't be stopping as early as 32,000. Maybe 33,333, or maybe 36,000 like you, since I love 36 so much... or who knows.

Anyway, there's not MUCH point to going on, but there is some.

First off, there's the chance that more ranks might be added if enough people swarm into EGSC in large numbers.

Second, there's simply getting a higher number, which is always nice. Look at HT, for example. 14366 is a great amount of exp, and he could just stop, but he keeps getting a higher number (and just like after EGSC, for now, there is no higher % bonus to VP, it's not like HT is gaining VP for his depositing, he's just saying at 10.00 + 1.00 = 11.00 until he ever ranks up with b/p... and that brings us to...

Thirdly, there's not wanting to get passed by other people. The reason I won't stop right around 30,000 is because I don't want to be stomped over by the next 10 people to get to EGSC. I want a wide cushion between me and the start of the rank so I won't be overwhelmed by tons of onrushing b/pers.

Already? Wow. You were like 350 points away from it, weren't you? O_o Anyway, congrats. Unfortunately, I hadn't similarly noticed with you as you aren't on the top 50 list like leeboy is. #;-}>

And anywho... it happened 5 hours ago, but no time like the present to celebrate:

LEVEL UP!!!! BEAUTIFUL CHAINS, YOU ARE MINE! NO MORE PIPE! NO MORE OLD WALKING STICK! NO MORE RUSTY CRAP ICON!

My god, it's good to be out of that dark tunnel. From here on out, there is no icon I hate as much as that damned level 14 one, so I consider myself newly blessed here on NG. Okay, okay, getting to level 15 in exp isn't QUITE as cool as getting to EGSC in b/p, but hell, it's close... after the hell of level 14 for 3 months. Brrrrr... makes me shiver just thinking of that ordeal.

So... onward and upward (albeit more slowly, but that's okay because I like this icon... one of my top 5 faves) towards level 16 and the holy nunchaku!

LEVEL UP!!!! BEAUTIFUL CHAINS, YOU ARE MINE! NO MORE PIPE! NO MORE OLD WALKING STICK! NO MORE RUSTY CRAP ICON!

Major congrats gfox. Its sorta wierd seeing you without the pipe, but I really like the new chains! Again, congrats!

i hope you dont sustain any long term wounds from that ordeal gfox, i bet it was very harsh. only a handful of men could go through such torment and punishment with that level 14 icon like you did. but you showed great charisma and endurance, and showed that a person can do anything. now its time that you recouperate and relax, no more harm can come to you now that you have your level 15 icon, no more mental punishment for you! congrats .. lol

dogma posted on the forums but i still trhink afther seeing his post why he was a way it's bullshit that he could get more b/p points then me, but he couldn't say hi ones in a while what takes a lot less time.

HAHAHAHAA ROFL HAHAHAHA

Is that like the extra levels for exp that were going to be added over a year ago that were discussed? No I am not kidding.

As far as exp, HT has to keep going or someone else will take over the lead for exp. Since Wade told my Blams/Saves were not going to work like exp. It really wasn't worth it to keep going the way I was, so I slowed down at 30K. I highly dought anytime soon they will add any more ranks if ever. They are too busy working on other stuff to worry about that. I rather see more exp levels.
