Grats. Too bad it doesn't do anything we know of, but you're right that it looks better =)

Tonight I made it to 6000 blams. So this is good enough for me for the night. This is so cool to have 6000. After so much hard work.

Congrats on your Level up Herne. If you'd had been continually depoisting, you could have say hello to the Top 50 Exp list.

I always thoug 1 year of continous depoist= level14, and 2 year of continuous deposits-= Level17 and 3 year= 21. I'm not to sure anymore.

I signed up on 2/18/00, not too long before Herne did, and if I'd deposited every day, as of today I would have 15,020 exp, be ahead of everyone but humantarget52, Pimp, Shrapnel, and -bomb-...

IOW, I'd be #5 instead of BlueAsterisk/engeljager, and I'd be level 29 link Pimp, Shrapnel and -bomb- are.

As for Herne, he'd be around 14540 exp... which would put him just BARELY ahead of BlueAsterisk, so he'd actually be in #5, right behind me, and he'd be level 28.

You have to realise that how many years of continuous depositing = level 14, 17, or 21 are not the same now as they were 3 years ago.

Just guessing, but it's likely that either some flagged crap she voted 0 on got cleared, or sometimes BPs get "stuck" in the system and you finally earn points on them months down the road.

There's no way that stuck points would take from December 10th till March 20th to clear, and that's around the range of time she didn't get any points at all.

No, she was testing something out, I believe. Or messed up and left herself logged in when she was voting for Vash-the-Stampede's account. Can't remember which. In any event, now she's moved her saves up from 13337 to 13370 intentionally and has stopped completely, and she's going to move her blams up towards 37,000.

Oh, indeed. You'll be passing more than just him when you hit EGSC, I think.

The chain never gets old. I'm almost done with it, just as Crono is, and I'm STILL enjoying it as an icon. Looks really nice in my profile, and even better next to all my posts. But I love the nunchaku even more, so come April I'm gonna be really happy when I hit it. #;-}>

"nun·cha·ku ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nn-chäk) or nun·chuck (nnchk) or num·chuck (nm-)
n.
A pair of hardwood sticks joined by a chain or cord and used as a weapon. Often used in the plural."

IOW, nunchaku is the proper Japanese way to spell it, but most Americans say "nunchucks."

But nunchakus, BTW, is not correct. All plurals in Japanese are written and spoken the exact same way as singulars. Nunchaku refers to either one or both of the handles depending upon context. Ninja means either one ninja or more than one ninja, as "ninjas" isn't a word in Japanese.

At 3/27/04 02:51 AM, D0GMA wrote: Your XP also runs in round up/down cycles as it calculates your XP/HT XP percentage and then works out a base VP from that. You may be hitting a period where the percentage roundup is forcing the base to round up, followed by the bonus forcing the round up, etc. Think of it like a biorhythm. Right now they are out of synch so when one's low, the other is making up for it and nudging it over a rounding point, giving you more frequent 2day +.01s. At some point they will synch up and you'll hit a period where they both force a round up (which won't do anything extra) followed by neither forcing one making your 2days a lot less frequent.

And to put it another way...

The more b/p rankups you get, the higher your daily VP increase when you deposit...

but the more exp you deposit, the lower your daily VP increase when you deposit...

that might seem strange, but it's true. Before I hit EGSC, I'd started to get rarer and rarer 0.01 total VP increases, but since EGSC, it's been pretty steady at every 3 days for 0.01, with the occasional 2 day jump. But in a year, I expect it'll be every 3-4 days for 0.01, due to my exp being closer to humantarget, and thus my VP growing more slowly, especially without future b/p rankups to help. ;_;

no, the top poster list was maintained by format. He had versions both text and web based, just like your B/P 50+ list, but in the end it was web-based until Dobio took it and put it back on teh BBS.

aside from those three errors/piddly things/whatnot, it all looks good. Niftiness.

I had jt's review list written down and just noticed I somehow managed not to put it in (see above). Wasn't aware of Korn's list so I'll hunt that up in the morning as well.

Thanks for the input and info!

W00T. Lieutenant_Brookman missed another deposit yesterday so I'm at 99 in exp for good now. It'll be a while before I pass anyone else though.

i remember back in the old days. I would always end up leveling up and stuff and hitting a bunch of different check points in the same day! back! it has been so long since then, but low and behold level up to level 14 and eliet guard captian all in the came tonight. Hooraj!

Trying to think what the next big goal will be. Possibly 3,000 posts, but I've been posting less of recent, so 6,000 blams looks the most likely. 2,500 saves doesn't really count, it's not a round enough number. Top 400 of experience is coming up as well, could be reaching the top 70 of b/p but everyone's fairly active just above me. I'll just keep plodding away I guess :-)

Nope I started posting really late. On an unrelated note this is the frist day in a month I didn't gain a position in the B/P points. Stuck at #69.
