I saw your post, man. 'sno problem.

Damn straight I've noticed. I just commented on it over in the blam list. Or was it save list... er... whichever one you lost 1 spot in to chaotic1.

You, alex, and chaotic are having a similar race to the one that I had with them back in the Sergeant ranks (First Class or Master, I believe, down in the 5000-7000 range).

Of course, the difference is that you guys have 3 times the points now, basically, so the race has a lot higher stakes.

I envy your close race, man. The ability to rise or fall to the challenges... the jousting for a spot on the list... the ups and downs... they're all in the distant past for this account, pretty much. Well, in b/p, at least.

I still have my exp and VP battles to take part in... not to mention post battles. #;-}>

Congrats in advance on your rankup, but I must inform you that it's going to be to police sergeant, not lieutenant.

safety patrol -> security guard -> police officer -> police sergeant -> police lieutenant -> police captain -> eg private -> eg private first class -> eg corporal -> eg sergeant -> eg staff sergeant -> eg sergeant first class -> eg master sergeant -> eg sergeant major -> eg praporshchik -> eg second lieutenant -> eg first lieutenant -> eg captain -> eg major -> eg lieutenant colonel -> eg colonel -> eg brigadier general -> eg major general -> eg lieutenant general -> eg general -> eg supreme commander.

it's a fun path, man. I know it by heart, and I've been (almost) all over it. Have fun in the police ranks, it only gets steeper and tougher from there!

Thanks. Yeah, it only took me 14 days this time, instead of almost a year, that one time...:-P

Sounds kinda similar to how it took me 3 years to move from level 9 to level 10, an then only 2 months to go from 10 to 11. #;-}>

Wow say word, let me find out I am the next chosen one........the next GForceX - hey that has a nice ring to it if i say so myself...............Hopefully i can keep up and stay with the challenge........

Yea and 3 times the rank status...........i really would like to secure that next spot of safety and etc.........and to let you know i am not really a gambling type, but i am betting all aces on me *hopefully* **glances at what he is betting on: one arm, one leg and one ear lobe**

The path the final destination - gotta love it!

Elite Guard Sergeant First Class:

BLAMS: Involved in the termination of 3,444 crappy entries.
SAVES: Assisted in the protection of 1,557 quality entries.

We'll never know what the precise 5000 figure was, like anyone cares.

Now hopefully Point-a-rama 2 (or Wade's whistled stuff wiping, for the alliterative among us) will make a sizeable impression into the trek up to 6,000...

i will have 9000 blam/saves by the end of the day, but the gap between my blams and saves is dwindelng. :-\

You'll take Stormwarden down soon, I'm sure of it. Gotta keep ahead.

I just mean that I miss those days, in some ways, and if I could KEEP all the points I have now, but ALSO have some major competition with other users, I'd be happy.

That doesn't mean I'm going to stop b/ping for 5 months so a bunch of people can catch up to me, though, that's a bit extreme. #;-}>

If nothing else, I suppose I COULD start b/ping with my alt once I get to EGSC, to relive the fun days of competition again.

Sure, reviewing's always fun. I never seem to make more than 2 or 3 a day on average, though. Once I made 10-12 in one day, though.

You're doing fine on posts and voting power, man. Just go check out your ranks on Dobio's list and the VP list, after all. They were both updated within the past week.

And, if you want to know, when I miss the precise b and p count for a profile screenshot or other "snapshot" time, I either guess or fudge. In your case, it's not too hard, since it's gotta be either 3,443 and 1,557 or 3,444 and 1,556. I'd go with the latter, personally, due to my affinity for even numbers. #;-}>

I always enjoy it when I can get as close as possible to xxx00 + xxx00 = xxx00 endings on my blams and saves, but failing that, I usually like xxx36 + xxx64 = xxx00 endings.

Now hopefully Point-a-rama 2 (or Wade's whistled stuff wiping, for the alliterative among us) will make a sizeable impression into the trek up to 6,000...

we'll see about that... I look forward to getting a few points, but I wish I'd been a bit more liberal with the whistling in the past few months, knowing now that Wade was just going to dump the whole whistled list anyway, without reviewing them on a case-by-case basis! #;-}>

Crono-, are you gonna continue getting points after you've broken the 30,000 point barrier or are you gonna quit and just grab what you can when you deposit your experience?

Same here. Maybe I'll create an alternate account and start grabbing points with that one. Maybe I already have.

Thanks James. Still trying to nail 10,000 save points but it's been pretty darn tough lately (unless you're Toocool100).

How long would you say you've had it?

i'm real ashamed of myself, i wasn't a day back or i got banned again, ah well, congrats to everyone especially Gfox on getting 10 VP and Recon on breaking 13,000 blam points

Well, I proved myself wrong (about not posting till this evening), since I woke up at like 4 AM somehow. Couldn't get back to sleep, so here I am till I need to go out in a few hours.

Ok i will thanks GFoX!

BTW just want to keep in tune with the battle thats going on.........Since it involves me i will keep close, close attention to it so here whats displayed at the present time............I am almost up there to Stormwarden (approx. 53 points behind) and chaotic is very very close to Alexsmolik (approx. 6 points behind).

So never say never.

Yeah, if you include Stormwarden, it's no longer a 3-way race, but a 4-way race. I'm not sure chaotic can stay ahead of alex, but I wouldn't put it past him. But those two have been neck-and-neck ever since I was down there with 'em, as we've been talking about. I mean, over thousands and thousands of blams and saves, they're both STILL so close together. Really impressively matched.

As for me, I continue the posting march. And while this may LOOK like I was spamming, they were all thoughtful posts. Yes. #;-}>
