i remember back when half the site was overrunned by people who joined up last winter, and we were all level 9s. it was crazy

then some people kinda fell away. and some got to level 10. and then they all got to 11.

now i'm just staying at 12. i dont like 13, and i dont see much point in going further if i dont even care much for the levels. i'll just rack up blam/protection points

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.

More levels would be nice, yes.

Anyway, the last secret used to be around 10,000 exp, but they moved it up 2 or 3 times... presumably because so many people were crossing over teh 10k exp mark. I think 20k would have been a better place to put it, IMO, than 30k, but oh well.

as for the gaps, they're fast approaching 700 exp now. By the time they get to 1000 exp apart, then yes... it will be time for SOME sort of change to the system. Or not.

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.

They're BOTH insomniacs? How does that work? Sheer coincidence or... they joined a "gaijin in Japan with insomnia!" support group or something? O_o

anyway, you never commented on Rushmore or Groundhog Day. Seen either? You should, if you likes teh Bill Murray. Rushmore was filmed in several neighborhoods nearby where I live here in Houston, too. And it is teh nifty funny movie. I wouldn't put it in my 3 movie list in my profile if it wasn't! #;-}>

I dunno either, but it's pretty nifty! Since liljim changed the lists to only update once daily, I noticed you jumped like 125 or so points between one update and the next. Impressiveness!

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'd personally love for a system with ranks up to 40,000 points and VP bonuses up to 75% or more to be introduced. Perhaps after teh 60% at 30,000, there could be 65% at 34,500 and then 75% at 40,000. Mmmmm yeah.

No idea, but I'd probably chuck ramagi in there, she flew through the points at an alarming rate.

ramagi's signup date is 04/06/01, though.

The current b/p system wasn't in place until 10/??/02, I believe. Thus, there's no way she was already to 4000 b/p by... uh... 07/06/01.

Same goes for fixit. 10/05/01 signup. And Joe... 06/20/01...

Crono maybe. He didn't signup until 07/27/02. And RyoHahn on 06/02/02... since they signed up in 2002, it's at least possible.

Most likely, though, is thisisasignin, who signed up in 10/03/02.

I don't remember when I first checked out teh top 50 b/p list... probably January of 2003, so maybe 2.5 months or so later, but he was already above SS then, so...

thisisasignin is the only one I can say, with perfect sureness, hit 4000 b/p before 3 months into his account's life.

Sadly, I can't have since I signed up in 2000, BUT... I started getting points on January 10th of 2003, and I was at EGSS on March 22nd of 2003, so it took me about 2.5 months to get from 0 to 4000. Just not at the beginning of my account's life, that's all. #;-}>

There isn't much point if you don't like the levels, true (how can you not like 16, though?), but... there IS Voting Power.

If only it was that easy for me to get past Majin_NeedleMan. As you may recall, I've been trying to pass this guy for weeks now. The dumb thing is, I actually succeeded last night for a few hours, only to get knocked back down because of a dentist appointment that I had to go to today. Last night, I was around ten to twenty blam/protect points ahead of him but right now, he has 13,886 blam/protect points while I only have 13,853 of them. I was in the #21 slot, but that'll be long gone by tomorrow. Hanging out with a friend to watch Lost In Translation again and In The Bedroom as well. Curse my love of movies. Oh well, hopefully, I'll be able to drag myself back up on Thursday and Friday. You have no idea how badly I want to get past that guy. Guess I should just take solace in the fact that I'm going to be ranking up soon.

once again, I know teh pains. After I left level 12, I didn't really like my level again until I just recently hit 15. Took about 5 months to get through 13 and 14. bleh...

I didn't expect to be moving this fast for so long, but I have hitten a 100 b/p mark every freakin' day since I ranked up at 25,500 (i.e. 25,600, 25,700, etc. etc.).... so, IOW, hitting 27,800 today marks 23 straight 100 b/p days for me... if I continue at this rate, I'll make Elite Guard Supreme Commander by March 5th.

Even if I slack a bit, I'll have EGSC by March 10th at the latest, I believe. My sister's b-day is March 8th, so that's my goal right now. I think that's the day I hit EG Sergeant at 3000 last year, too. Woot.

The only level 16's I know of and have checked so far seem to be in the 180's-190's or 150-160's. They may be people that have been dropping though, like some people that I may remember as level 17. I'll keep looking though.
