I 0wnxxor. One day I'll be LV30, it just might take a while. but the Highest Voting Power might just jump up a little higher, I'm thinking of just skipping 13.37 and going onto a higher Voting Power.

As much as being #6 on the top 50 exp list would be nice, I'm really wishing I hadn't used your voting power calc to find out what my VP would be if I'd done all the depositing I could have with this account. I can't believe I woulda been over 15.00... (sob)

I'd even own you! But anywho... why skip 13.37? You should be there by the end of the month, right? Anywho, I hope you don't. Teh 13.37 VP would be a great screenshot opportunity.

It copied the link fine. You just copied a link to the javascript command to pop-up the profile window, that's all. It's a pain, yes, but I've gotten used to having to go into someone's profile and either maximise the window, open the frame in a new window, or look at the properties of the page to get their profile URL to paste...

makes my moderator logging a pain, let me tell you.

Damn straight. Perhaps that's what I'll do with my alt account if my girlfriend doesn't want it. Hmmmm.... he's about to hit level 11 in a couple days, BTW.

Well, luckily for you, by the time you get there, you'll have a few more days (if not weeks) before you get to level 17 than other people have due to the "Level 30 depositing" factor.

that's what I keep telling myself is the best thing about being a much lower level than I should be... getting to enjoy level 16 for longer. #;-}>

I hate that level, so very, very much. I would rather have a crowbar than some rusty pipe (although they don't have a level pic with a crowbar).

UGH! We've a pipe-lover in our midst, people! GET THAT BARON!

I also hope that Wade and Tom my more levels and badges!

*make*. They'll have to eventually, but not until there a few more people have 30, 000+ b/p points. There are only 5 at the moment so nothing's going to happen soon.

are you sure he meant b/p rank badges? Since he was talking about the pipe and levels, I assumed he meant exp level icons, not rank badges... anywho.

Also I read that there can only be a certain number of people with level 29, 28, etc. I saw a list once, but I'm not sure how accurate it is.
Level=number of people who can how it. 30=1, 29=3, 28=5, 27=10, 26=20, 25=25.

Nope. There's no limits on any people. Everything is determined by exp scaling.

Take HT's exp of 15036 today, subtract 400 for the first 8 levels, you get 14636, now divide by the 21 other levels, you get 696.952380952380952380952380952381...

Which means that the only thing deciding what level you are is not how many people there are in your level, or in the higher levels, but just HT's exp, and thus the level markers for today are:

lv10 - 1096.95
lv11 - 1793.90
lv12 - 2490.86
lv13 - 3187.81
lv14 - 3884.76
lv15 - 4581.71
lv16 - 5278.67
lv17 - 5975.62

and so forth... all of them 696.95 exp apart. Including levels 30 and 29. You could fit 50 people into that space and have 50 level 29s. It's all about teh expzors.

Well.. Apparently A lot of my posts were deleted, at least 40-50, whatever they cleared out, I must have posted in quite a lot. Oh well.

During the Super Bowl, I had 4800 posts... when I came on later that night to post about it, I had 4799. So I just lost one post somehow. Weirdness.

Anyway, yeah, I noticed some people had lots of posts missing. Lpmofo had had like 4742 last I checked when I was passing him, and now he's under 4700... ouch.

Thank you gfoxcook for telling me that. I thought I would be depositing for a long time only to be a level 24 forever. I hope they add some more levels because that 28,000+ EXP points to last (I hope it's the last one) secret is a bit ridicious (over 7 years?!!) and the gaps between levels will be too much for new users.

30,000 exactly ;)

I think humantarget had access to it at one stage, when the requirement was much lower. The amount of times they have changed the exp requirement is incredible.

(I hope it's the last one)

Haha yeah! I'd say it is, seeing as a jump any bigger than that would be absolutely insane, even more so than the 30,000 it is now!

secret is a bit ridicious (over 7 years?!!)

8.2 years. Ridiculous indeed.

and the gaps between levels will be too much for new users.

It's too much now! Haha, I want more levels uppers!

Way to go man! Just think only about 500 more to go and you'll make it to the 1337 guard! Keep at it and you'll find that 500 isn't that bad!

Ouch, still in the 800 ranks, can remember when it was possible to be a police lieutenant and be in the 600's... still nice job on the rank up, the first of the 500 gappers down.

Right on daredevilguy, I was wondering when you were gonna reach that rank. Another 500 points and you can say hello to the Elite Guard and it's first rank.

about a week after i leveled into police sargent (no biggie, but is for me) i am finally level 12!!!!

after one year, one month and four days. i am finally level 12. the final level i plan on reaching. i dont like 13 much. and i should already be at 13, but allas, i had a life once in a while that kept me from depositing

but yay!

Level ups are so rewarding, congrats. I actually can't wait to be the bat. The first weapon you hold.

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...

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.

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.

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 :-)

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 :)
