10k medals. @Cyberdevil, I've made it.

Felt fitting that EBF5 would be the game that got me to 10k. Joining the series Discord was (indirectly) the reason I'm here.

10,001 medals, 169.5k (nice) medal points:

Crazy to think that I was at only 5.4k medals and 8.7k saves when this month began.

Now here I am, with my spot in the Hexalist firmly secured and with five days to spare.

I had lingering doubts that I'd never reach this milestone, but those doubts can now be firmly be put to bed.

Today definitely isn't gonna be a blue Monday - that's for fuckin' sure.

As for what I'll do next? Eh, I think I'll keep going through EBF5 - that's a damn good game.

Expect my posts in this thread to slow down a bit - with my race to the Hexalist now behind me, I can happily take my foot off the gas and get medals at my own pace.

(PS: This is just a personal hunch, but I suspect I probably hold the record for the fastest entry into the Hexalist - going by my NG Log, I was only here for 512 days before hitting 2x10K.)

(PPS: For anyone from the future looking through this post, check my NG Log stats for May 27th, 2024.)

Congrats man! You really managed this one fast, even your Saves are top topper level this particular month, impressive gains there too. Even crazier pace on medals of course. You should be listed with the next update then, 6/6.

Lingering doubts and then you get there in just a few months, man. XD

That it is! Looking forward to going through the EBF games in full some day too, they're all so good.

And you may actually be the fastest user to get onto the Hexalist too, at least since I started running it. Back in the day it's possible there were some really fast entrants too, but we didn't have medals back then, the easiest stats were either Blams or Saves or Posts initially, I imagine all but Blams usually took longer...

Personally it took me about four years to get included apparently, but just a month or two after I was on the list I was up at 4x10K stats also. ;) If you want another challenge...

Thank you, Cyberdevil! I believe it takes awhile for the server to update it. I noticed I jumped up several ranks the day after leveling up, which I assume was because some users stopped voting/depositing once they hit Level 60, haha.

Oh yeah that too, it seems the ranks like the P-Bot posts have some kind of schedule as to when they're counted and updated. Alas the last level really is the end of the line for a lot of users, I noticed that too. XD After level 60 though... well the next step's 100,000 EXP of course! Can't not keep going.

Ended up crossing 11k saves today:

Also got a few medals in the interim, earning me about 150 medal points:

(+15 - 26/83)

Today I've simultaneously achieved 10,000 Blams and made it into the top 1000 users with the highest XP.

1,000+ blams

398,000 Total

Still moving up fast! Congrats man!

Congrats! Big thing with the blams in particular.

Congrats good dude!

38,000+ saves

Thanks, I guess I'm what you guys call Triple Listed now. One day I'll get 10,000 gaming Medals to become Quad Listed.

Took a brief walk outside whilst a few B/P away from Lieutenant, and came back to find out I just hit Lieutenant:

Earned a couple medals as well - quite literally a couple:

(2/9)

Main thing I'm waiting for game-wise is the Dead Detention remaster - the delays on that have been brutal.

20,000 Exp!

88,000 B/P.

Protip: Going into fullscreen allows you to draw beyond the game border. I used this to bypass Level 3, where I initially gave up.

Protip: To get the "Bird" medal, get to the final screen of DK Rails, then ground pound in front of the tree.

Fuck me, Robo-Apple's a ballache.

Got this one whilst waiting for Newgrounds' medal count to update.

As a minor aside, it does feel like I'm racking up a lot more B/P now than back in Jan-Mar. By my guess, that's mainly because the rate of new submissions has picked up a bit (though the fact I'm now voting on games as well as movies has likely helped).

39,000+ saves

Just made it past 12k saves.

Also got a (quite literal) couple of medals in the interim:

(2/2 - cleaned out)

Protip: To earn "Spoke the truth", enter the text "pic0nj0 iz b3tt3r than j00!" into the textbox.

Protip: 9th June is the only day "Happy Piconjo Day!" can be earned - unsure if you can get it by fucking with the system clock, but I'd recommend getting it now if you can.

252,000 B/P

Congrats man! Congrats! Congrats on that also!

Congrats x3 MatthewMcChan!

You are indeed. :) Three's a big step but the Quadlist's where you really distance yourself from most users. The list within the list. Not to mention the pentalist, and the hexalist after that... so far moving up there steadily!

Congrats too!

Walks really are good for you! :D Congrats!

Congrats two!

Didn't know this was a thing! Nice, looking forward to this...

Congrats man!

220,000 Saves

Quick stat update and medal update - I'm doing pretty well on all fronts:

(11/11 - cleaned out)

Protip: This is basically eleven free medals.

(6/6 - cleaned out)

Protip: Playing the game in Incognito/Private mode won't lock you out of playing it. This allows you to learn what the daily word is, allowing you to beat the Wordle section on the first try and earn "Big Headed" with ease.

Protip: Swapping browsers also allows you to replay the Daily Level. By my guess, Stepford used uploads.ungrounded.net to check if you've played the Daily Level or not, so deleting any cookies stored there might also work.

This also doubles as my 1,200th post. If you need me, I'm off to go get chicken.

Congrats man!

Like the Porsche hmm. :P Congrats!

*some suitably witty pun about chickening out :P*

Congrats man, and good climbin' with overall stats!

Thanks dude!

Ended up checking my NG Logs today - seems today is a day where I didn't hit any particular milestones, positive or negative:

I'm expecting such days to become somewhat common from here on out - I'm top 10k in experience, top 1k in B/P and I'm double-listed. Needless to say, I've got pretty stiff competition.

On a less neutral, more positive note, the site's forecasts suggest I'm gonna be Level 23 and Lieutenant by Monday:

If I hit both at once, I'll let you know.

(Split this part into its own post - trying to cram both into a single image made them unreadable)

Level 43 & 89,000 B/P.
