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?

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

I have to agree, thats a good amount.

Thanks James and Bahamutreborn.

Haha! That turned into an 88 point night. Slightly better than my daily average (excluding my 2 days off).

I've always thought I had a decent grasp on the English language but you've taken me to school. Somnambulistic!? I put that though dictionary.com and still didn't understand what it meant!

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.

I never give my password out not matter what. In fact I change it every so often!

ever heard of vactions?

5,555 blam/protect points:

I've also updated the "one off list" in case anyone missed it.

Yay! I reached Elite Guard Sergeant Major yesterday :) Nice looking badge!

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.

James, does this mean you just reached the rank or you get a cheap thrill out of saying the name?

Congrats buddy!!

well. soccer season i didn't deposite pretty much three times a week every week for 3 months. track was about 2 times a week for 3 months. indoor soccer really took its tole on me because by the time i got out of there it was 10pm and i had to get some sleep because i was tired.

so i bet if you caculate it all up theres a good month and a half of that. hell just by going to the mountains on weekends and holidays, i've arleady been there for 32 days. so i bet that could be the type of problem i have.

and i am a lazy little bastard too. and with my 56k, it takes a while for me to deposite. unless i'm feeling mean and just look for movies that can load fast and will probably just get blammed

Wow. I just flew by 14,000 blams. If thisisasignin doesn't start voting I could jump into the 7th spot without any trouble. Hope beyond all hope Gandalf!

Who knows though, at this rate maybe you can take fixits number 1 spot! Your on fire!

Today was one of the best
blam/save days I have had in a while, so many movies.

STFU n00b! I've been using 56k my entire NG life and I've managed fine! But I guess all that means is I'm more patient than you and/or less lazy.

Same here, I got at least 100 blams/saves yesterday if not more. (probably more) I don't know why I decided to start voting again but I've gotten quite a few over the past week.

Maybe it's for the better Joe. Although I do plan on slowing down once I reach 30,000 points I have absolutely no intention of quitting. Even if you can't increase your voting power any further there's no way I'm gonna sit on my laurels and let some young upstart pass me by. I made a few incorrect (hasty) decisions on the portal tonight but still managed to snag 112 points so far (and I have one more hour to go). Coffee time!!

must have been getting bored i don't think i will ever stop but i will slow down a lot when (if) i get to 30.000 points.

Me too.. unless NG has by then got heaps of new ranks (well, that's not possible, because they would have to be fictionate. Anoter posiblity is larger gaps between ranks, but also a higer VP bonus), and the rat-race countinues... for ever! Arfg..
I won't be as mad when missing points then as now, that's for sure!
Actually, I MIGHT want to stop at EGG, because the EGSC looks really crappy, I think. I hate that badge. Well, maybe not..
I'd like to be allowed to re-design the EGSC badge, maiking it green and gold, because that looks soo much better... but that's just a dream, probably.

I think yesterday was a huge day for everyone - I've got 80 since I posted that 5,555 pic at 5pm local yesterday, and I had a stack before that. Jumped three places to 92, nice. And the top 50 now requires 9,000 points, only seemed like yesterday it clocked over to 8,000!

Also, as I noted in the NG Army topic, the WI/HT club is very close to a group total of 200,000 blams and protects. Which is a lot.

I made that mistake almost a year ago and let fixit pass me before I got to 30,000. I figured it out, and if I didn't only get 600 points those 2 months, I would have gotten to 30,000 a few weeks before him.

Indeed, managed to bag myself a respevtable 109 points yesterday. Still, didn't even dent the difference between DOGMA and i, which was frustrating.

I've wanted to make a flash movie for ages now, but the FlashStudio thing on Macromedia.com takes too long to download! I have a 36.6k dial-up, but my ISP d/c after 4 hours, so I don't have time to dowload it. Anywhere else I might be able to download a free smaller version?

Wrong topic Junior, but as far as I know, even with a 56 k it would take forever to download any type of flash software, so your better off saving up your money to get a cable modem.

Not really. I have a simple solution for you. Keep the download running over night as you sleep and when you wake up, BAM you have macromedia flash MX!

A good idea if it weren't for the fact that his connection is cut after 4 consecutive hours.

I guess his options are either buy the program or get a better internet connection. I've never experienced 36k before but it must be hell - even us 56k'ers complain!

Judging by the angry face, you don't like the baseball bat. And/or you don't want the level 14 pipe that's coming up. If you were meant to use the smilely face, congrats. If not, just don't deposit and you'll have the glove again in no time.
BTW, I leveled up to Elite Guard Staff Sergeant(YAY!). I do know that my sig pic is completely outdated, but that will be gone eventually. And now a question, how many people have been EGSS within 3 months of signing up? Probably TheJoe, fixit and Chrono, but was there anyone else?
