Sooooo close.

It's gonna be weird having the chain, I kinda got used to the pipe....heh...

Well, congrats in advance, I'd imagine I'm not going to be about when you hit that, another one of those weekend away things that leaves me away from the computer.

IRL, I got myself one of those digital camera things cheap from work, I've been meaning to get one for ages. Might take a couple of shots of my blamming setup, depends how long updating the review list takes...

I know what you mean Dobio, the chains are a nice level. I'm getting close to level 16 but I've missed some deposits lately.

dobio is online for a while

So do some of the mods but technically they can get away with spam because they're mods. It's like a one way street for a select few.

Yay, it's working nicely. Does video, acts as a webcam, everything, and under 60 quid as well (c. US$100). Got this shot, reduced to fit NG's parameters - it's my blamming and reviewing headquarters. To give you an idea of size, that's a 17" monitor, those things you can just about see on the left wall are bunches of paper clipped together, full of NG-related information (the top sheet just has a list of user ID#'s who qualify for one of my lists). The blue box is the camera box, on top of some notes I made during the review update, that's a scanner to the right of the monitor, and that's paper and a few CD's behind the screen.

All that's missing are some beer cans really...

Oh ok no doubt - you can be the leader of the group called G-Force (Every heard of them?)

Hell, you're less than 50 away, now. He'll be taken out sometime today, I expect.

Yes i hopefully will achieve that and keep it.........

Well, if you just doubled your current amount, you'd have over 36,000, and thus be #2 on the list, right ahead of ramagi.

Yea that true if you look at it that way............

So never say never.

Ok never say never..................

thanks, man.

No doubt!

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.

Yea they seem to go back and forth with one another, but in due time we will see who will come out on top and conquer it...........

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

Posting march? Thats what you call it? More like Posting Calvary............and they are always informative thats for sure.......

Well here the standing to the three way battle I am in the middle of: I am approx. 41 points behind Stormwarden.......just might over take him and claim the 11th spot on the list. In other news, chaotic seem to be two points behind on the list but i think he has already passed him - *doing a profile check - scanning.............profile check complete* :

Stormwarden - BLAMS: 12,022 + SAVES: 6,049 Total = 18,071

XkwiziTOnE - BLAMS: 10,956 + SAVES: 7,078 Total = 18,034

Alexsmolik - BLAMS: 9,880 + SAVES: 7,395 Total = 17,275

Chaotic - BLAMS: 10,989 + SAVES: 6,280 Total = 17,269

So as you can see there is a race and two spots are up for grabs - cant wait to see what the out come is in the end..........

Congrats dude, a VP of 10 is within touching distance. I just wish i was close to your base VP. I'm lagging behind in VP because of that.

That's because I didn't know what that one stood for... until now!

and WTF (What The Fuck)... heh.

Well, that's an obvious one. EVERYONE who's been using the internet for more than a week would know that one...

Just reduce the parameters of the image in Paint by either dragging the little squares on the outside or clicking on Image > Attributes and changing the Width and Height values.

Haha, way to go lightning. You can only go higher from here (unless you stop depositing, of course...).

Say wha...?

You are 26,715 Grounds Gold away from your next secret: Naked pics of Tom!

They've raised the bar again? Or did this happen quite a while ago and I've only now just found out...?

Onya X! With achievements like those you'll catch Stormwarden in no time (if you haven't already)!

Thanks James0 - as it states i already passed him by a few, hopefully i can hold onto it..............

Sure no problem - here ya go

Well there has been a development in the battle: I am approx. 15 points ahead of Stormwarden.......just hope that I can hold onto this 11th spot on the list. :o) In other news, chaotic has clearly pasted Alexsmolik by approx. 19 points:

XkwiziTOnE - BLAMS: 11,012 + SAVES: 7,097 Total = 18,109

Stormwarden - BLAMS: 12,038 + SAVES: 6,056 Total = 18,094

Chaotic - BLAMS: 11,033 + SAVES: 6,292 Total = 17,325

Alexsmolik - BLAMS: 9,903 + SAVES: 7,403 Total = 17,306

Good luck to all on their travels on the List...............

Sorry I goofed - heres the picture..............

I've never quite understood what that means. Are you hugging Joe or something? Giving him some love?
