November 2nd of last year. I think I posted about it in this topic around page 250 or so... I think that was around that time.

Well, I was right. I'm now way behind him again. Right now, he's got 13,945 blam/protect points and I only have a lousy 13,874 points. And all I did was spend a few hours over at a friend's place watching In The Bedroom, which, I might add, was a great movie. But yeah, only a few hours' difference, and now I'm about 70 points behind him again. It's funny though. I can't say anything bad about the guy now. See, right now, in his profile message, he has this. How the hell can I stay competitive now?

Message from Majin_SnakeMan:
me and biteme2514 will be the strongest users on NG soon!! prepare for D-DAY other users!!

Oh well, I'll always have tomorrow. This is really helping though. Having some guy kick my ass all day long is a great way to motivate me to blam and protect more. Only thing is, it bugs the hell out of me when I keep getting knocked back. However, the good news is, as long as I keep up the pace that I'm going at right now, I'll hit the Top 20 in no time. Hey _lightning_, why don't you speed up your pace too and make things more interesting? I think I work better under pressure. See you up there, man.

biteme2514 where the heck did you find that Starman gif? He was my favorite wrestler on that game. The NES had some great games even though it was only an 8 bit system. My all time favorite has to be Archon. It was like a game of battle chess if you've never heard of it.

Look at my profile pic and you'll know who my favorite wrestler from that game is. I've had this pic for alomst a year.

Oh and thanks Joe for the info, I was just wondering what rate you've been b/p'ing since your EGSC rank.

Up until about 3 weeks ago, hardly anything. Since then I've started voting more, probably because submissions hang around for a longer time which gives me more of an opportunity to see a lot of them at once instead of spread out.

Awww man, it's been awhile but I'm guessing that's King Corn Karn? His front kick was easier to control than the regular spin kick most wrestlers had. Wasn't there a green fish-like guy called the Piranha?

You are ridiculously close, it's Kin Corn Karn. I believe the "eye gouger" you are talking about is called "The Amazon."

and....
Thanks Joe for the info.

Congrats Mike. I see you're VERY close, so I might have to use my 'four day weekend' (I go to TAFE on Tuesday to Thursday) to stay ahead. It's a pain that now's the time where no one submits anything for a few hours and when I have to sleep there might be 30 submissions I miss due to the time zones.
Oh well, at least you're a bit of motivation to keep me getting b/p points.

Hehe, thanks, my main goal for now, other then getting that awesome lvl 14 pipe, is to pass by a few people I don't like in Badge points *cough*BWS*Cough*Dangersallaround*cough
I also look forward to not the next badge, but the badge after! It r0xx0rs!

I also can't wait to see Nemesis get EGSC along with the next lvl icon.
Not to mention all of us 1337 guard members go from teh silver badges to the gold ones, thus being the new generation of VETs
then all teh n00bs will look up to us like Newgrounds Vikings or something!
Oh yes, that would swell!

Mike

Haha, it seems like there is a Race to the Finish with these three guys.

Mr_Pop_Alot

MrX2003

Baron_Von_Bad_Guy

My money is on Mr. Pop alot! ;-)
And to Baraon_Von, just consitently depoist those points, and you'll reach your goal in no time.

It's a close race... safe money MAY be on Mr_Pop_Alot (but to what... the top 50 list? or to the next rank?), but who knows what could happen.

TEH NG TRIPLE CROWN!

I like races! Though I bet my money on Mr_Pop_Alot though I feel I will come in second in this race, no offense mrX2003.
What number are we racing to 100? Or is it just the first to go gold? However, I think we may have a new up and comer, somebody that just might beat not just myself Pop_Alot and Mrx, but Gfox and Recon_Rebel, hell he probably might just beat Fixit!

Well I have my reasons why I might come third, but that won't stop me from trying.

My torrent b/p rate is going to crush anyone who opposes : )
I reached EGSS on the 10th. As of right now my b/p = 4,212.

I think the whole b/p race is fun as hell.

Yes a little absent, missed this place.....its where everyone can get to know your name lol. Yeah i am trying yo get up there but Chaotic is running up quickly, took me for a minute i kinda rebounded..................tryin hard to at least feel the 10th spot even if its for a little while.........

I don't like all this talk of people coming up the blam/protect ranks quickly and taking the lower end of the top 100 from behind... ought to get my skates on and pass some more people. In a couple of months it could be absolute carnage.

I'm sure there was something else I was meant to say round about now... nope, it's completely slipped my mind. May come to me later.

You've gotta have a crystal ball or something to nail 100 points tonight Baron. I just broke 50 points myself due to the site being down earlier.

When I say day I usally mean from when I wake up to when I go to bed, though I think I got around 40 today so far (when I woke up), I'll probably go down to play my Bass soon and come back in a bit.
Yesterday was a fine day for Blams/saves, there were tons!

Also, how much untill your next Badge level up?

Mike

Ummm... let's see. If I'm not mistaken I'm roughly 1,895 points away Baron. Not too much longer (LoL).

Nice to see you go to TAFE too. You're so lucky you only have to go once a week, in the afternoon. I have to stay at Crow's Nest for 8 hours on Wednesday AND Thursday. That will probably be the time Baron_Von_Bad_Guy beats me.
Fortuantly I'm still around 60 points ahead of him, so I would be very surprised if he beats me by Tuesday. Mr_Pop_Alot is still around 100 points ahead of me, so I might have to wake up in the middle of the night to get a much needed 20+ b/p point boost for the next few days just to catch up.

I haven't even done that today. With school and everything, the timing really didn't work out all that great for me. Right after school, I hung out with my friends for a while and when I came home, Newgrounds was dead. So, I just whipped out The Big Lebowski on DVD and watched that for two hours. Hell, I didn't even realize that the site was back up until just four hours ago. I'm lucky I even got the 40-something blam/protect points that I did. Hey, we live in the same time zone, huh? What's your daily schedule look like? What I did today is pretty much what I do every day.

Oh, and just to keep you posted on the race between me and Majin_SnakeMan (I know people that change their underwear less than this guy changes usernames), I'm around 40 blam/protect points behind him right now. Only thing is, he just realized that the site was back up so he's on the move again. I've been watching his profile pretty closely lately. I know these things. Looks like he's on the verge of becoming an Elite Guard Major too. Only around 20 blam/protects away. Geez, this guy's almost impossible to keep up with. It's insane.

Kinda like this curious fellow.

Wake up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!? Fuck, you sure are dedicated man. I go on for about 2 hours a day (and by day I mean day - the sun is out) and that does me. Screw losing sleep over it. Heh heh, slow and steady wins the race...

Just a Certificate IV for Digital Media. One lesson they taught us how to motion tween and showed us sites that use flash (yes, they do expect us to know nothing).
What course are you doing and where?

I don't see it as losing sleep since I have been sleeping in for a few weeks. Lately I've been waking up in the middle of the night trying to get back to sleep, so I might as well spend that time doing something to make me tired. Besides, I like the fact that so far that my rank has been better everyday (except for that day where I missed those 150+ b/p points when I went backwards in rank).

So they're teaching you all about Flash?

IT at Bomaderry Campus. Certificate II.

Maybe because you're getting up to go on the computer every night? You're in a routine and your body clock has adjusted.

No, I don't go on the computer every night, I'm planning to. I don't know why I've been waking up, but I might as well use it to my advantage. Although if I ever give up blam/protecting for some reason, I might have to change the time the alarm goes off forward by five minutes just so I can sleep for eight or more hours without waking up.
