So yeah, I've been doing beautifully lately. I broke 10,000 Blams earlier today and I also managed to break 16,000 blam/protect points as well.
Damn. I'm actually kind of pissed off right now. See, I was waiting around for almost an entire hour, just waiting to get the screenshot I wanted of me hitting 11,000 Blams, but after around the forty-five minute mark of seeing absolutely no movement at all, I decided to start something else up to keep me occupied. So, I started up the computer journal that I like to make entries in every two or three days. But about halfway through the entry, I decided to click back to the window that had my NG profile in it so I could see if it was at 11,000 Blams yet. And this (see below) is what I got. I hate it when this happens!
Oh well, I guess I can't be angry forever. I'm still pretty happy that I made it past 11,000 Blams. And in only three weeks too. You know, I have it all figured out now. In the post that I actually quoted above, I have a screenshot very similar to the one I have below, only in that one, I have 10,000 Blams and 5,947 Saves. Well, here I have 11,001 Blams and 6,203 Saves. Which leads me to the conclusion that, after all the math has been worked out, I get roughly 400 blam/protect points a week, five-sixths of which are Blams. Thus, if I keep at the pace that I'm at right now, I should be an Elite Guard Supreme Commander in around thirty-two weeks, or just under eight months. And I'll have almost exactly twice the number of Blams that I have right now. It feels good to have a plan. But yeah, I'm only 300 blam/protect points away from my next rank-up too. I'm feeling pretty good right now.
Even though I am still pissed that I wasted so much of my time waiting for this. Ugh.
