Congrats to the Candinate for President!!

My goal is the same as Dobio in terms of B/S, just get in the Top 100. :-)

Man, either I'm having an extremely horrible night on the portal or I'm overdue for some major points. So far I've managed to scrape together 40 points tonight. Not impressed.

Maintaining that position still takes work, which is now why I'm in the 80's. Well, that and my desire to achieve...

Your standards are very high. I'd be happy with 40 points a day!

Yeah, but to me, I await that as much as you await the EGSC (sp?)

Thanks James and Bahamutreborn but the points are rolling in now. It must have been what liljim was talking about, you know, the slight delay of points from portal to profile. I'm already at 67 points and still climbing. Weeee!

When I first glanced at that last line, I thought you'd said "a real hooker" at first. heh.
Rushmore is the best film with him it, BTW, if you haven't seen him. Groundhog Day is pretty fun, too. And I expect that this one makes a full top 3 of Bill Murray films, though I haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, Lost In Translation is a great film. There's still a few parts that I have yet to fully understand (something involving a toy machine gun and a bunch of drunk Japanese guys) but hey, the movie's kind of designed to be weird. Kind of dreamlike; somnambulistic, if you will. Which makes sense, considering the fact that both Murray and Johansson play characters trapped in a state of perpetual insomnia throughout almost the entire film. It's just not exactly a feel-good flick. Chances are, after watching it, you'll come out a little depressed. It's not exactly a bad thing though. I mean, it could end with a cliche, but this is one of the most original films that I've seen in a while. That, and I'm a fan of Johansson's work, so I suppose that added to the experience. That having been said, I just rented Ghost World to see tomorrow afternoon. Guess who's in it. Yep, Scarlett Johansson. It's just a phase though. I went through the exact same thing with Kate Beckinsale and Liv Tyler. Not to mention about a hundred other attractive actresses.

Don't plan on gaining any more levels, huh? I suppose I should start getting used to seeing you with that barbed wire boxing glove from now on. I don't blame you for not going any further either. I mean, Lv. 12 is the most aesthetically-pleasing level icon that people can actually reach these days. I almost regret parting with it myself. But you know, I kind of wanted the Voting Power so I just kept on climbing. Congratulations though, dude. Took you long enough, but you finally made it. Good job. Hitler will now dance for your amusement.

hit Elite Guard Praporshchik and 4000 exp in the same day. pretty nice

Congrats man, I can't wait top get that pipe you have, it's my favorite level icon!

I have noticed something, both me and Mr_pop_alot havenow passed Dr_Doobie in Blam and Saves!
We both seem to be gaining Blams and Saves at an insane amount!
Pretty soon we'll be one and two on the top 50 of the blamers and savers!
Well maybe not but I think we both have a good shot at the top 50.

Wow, last I checked my profile I was 160! See I'm already moving up!

I mean in around a year or so, maybe a little more.
I wonder if Fixit will ever stop...

Just dropped by to let you know I exist.

The whole forum's been quiet to be honest, not just today but over the past week it's just seemed to be lacking in many posts. Perhaps that's something to do with there being four list updates on the 1st and nothing since then, or something else. Dunno really.

You're still 11th in reviews, and I'm now 12th. But since hitting 1500 I've ground to a standstill. I can't be bothered chasing you down, getting the blams and saves is more important to me at the moment. If Devastator were to start again I might respond, but I'm not even going to try to keep up with kwas71kck when he passes me. I'm also trying to post a bit more until I hit 2,000, which shouldn't be too long now.

Also, I got 2,800 BLAMS! Yay for me.

Will be 3,800 for me very soon, and I've just hit 1,700 saves... will pass redrum for #95 in blam/protect by the end of the day by the looks of things, half way to 6000. I can smell the gold badges round the corner :-)

Got it Hans ;) Was your old one supermonkey5500?

I've got 3 email addresses but I really only use one (the one in my profile). The second is just for backup, or an alternate account on a certain internet website... and the third is just a formal one, my name. I might use it for MSN sometime, and have it for the VIP's...

its got barbed wire...its so cool. and i hate that faggity baseball bat of level 13. if they switched it with that sword from one of the level 20s or something. maybe..but thats because i want a sword of my own. i told wade once, he said i was crazy because i wanted to walk around with it and stuff.

it took me along time because last year i had allot going on. i went to a week long excursion at a camp twice, and of course my week in michigan. and only one of those times did i ask somebody to deposite for me. can't forget my other week in michigan in the spring. and thanks to soccer season i didn't have the energy to go on at the end of the day after practice or a game to really deposite allot

and hitler is so sexy...i wish he were my sex slave when i die.

I know what you mean jonthomson, I haven't made many posts lately either. Then again I haven't made many posts in any case.

Hope everybody is doing well. Time to punch the engines!

I dont know if this is the right place to put this... eh, i dont wanna make a whole post about it, unless people say i should. anyway, here it is for anyone who ever wondered.

If you are looking to make~

Daily 5th place, on average you need a score of 3.48
Daily 4th place, on average you need a score of 3.56
Daily 3rd place, on average you need a score of 3.66
Daily 2nd place, on average you need a score of 3.80
Daily Feature, on average you need a score of 4.05

This is from the average of 50 movies with those awards.

remember, they are just rough estimates .. from what i saw, if you are really lucky you can make Daily feature with a 3.30
Just matters on the day. There is about 1 movie every other day that comes in as a 4.0 or above

Happy Award Winning, good luck :)

Thanks, Toocool for doing that math for me, I was considering figuring out a similar average. I'm working hard here on my next flash and although I'll be plenty satisfied just finishing this a Portal Award (or two) would look nice in my profile. Of course with my luck a Legendary Frog movie, the next Xombie, Madness, RAB, Rockman Neo 2, Genryu 2, Pico 3 and the return of Strawberry Clock will all happen on the same day I wil submitl..

I should already know this since I watch the portal so much, but what's the *latest* a submission can be submitted and be considered as part of that day? I know if it's too late it's considered as part of the next day, but where exactly (Eastern US time) is that boundary?

Thanks for that info Toocool. But in my views, watching the content of those movies with awards is a better estimate to my preception. ;-)

I just checked that out myself on Dictionary.com and the result I got was something along the lines of, "See sleepwalking". I didn't think the word was that hard to understand though. I mean, if "somnambulism" is just a synonym for "sleepwalking", then "somnambulistic" must mean "of or pertaining to a sleepwalker or sleepwalking". Sounds complicated, but it's easy to figure out if you use more than just one site. Personally, when I can't find what I'm looking for on the site that you used, I hit HyperDictionary.com. Has a lot of big words for the eloquent, the articulate, or the just plain pedantic. I'm kind of guilty of that last one right there sometimes though. I should really stop doing that. It's just that I'd have no other opportunity to use those words otherwise.

So, according to the information you've given, you were away from your computer on trips and vacations for roughly three or four weeks and that's the reason that it took you so long to get to Lv. 12, right? Well, back in March, I was away for eighteen days on a school trip to Italy and France and during the summer, I was away for two and a half weeks because I was off in Japan and China with my mom and brother. That's already more than a month right there. And as if that wasn't enough, you also joined NG more than a month before I did. Yet, I'm Lv. 13 and you're not. You and your silly excuses. Besides, depositing only takes a maximum of about five minutes a day. You're just lazy, that's all. Oh, and to keep with the dancing theme, here's an inebriated rodent doing what he does best. Trying to take over the world. Narf.

It seems Dobio has almost stopped b/p'ing lately. I didn't realize you're right on my tail. Yet another reason to keep up my b/p rate.
