Looking back, that really was a stupid thing to say.

That's a pretty funny thing to say. I've seen better, Private Eye's always a great source for comic gaffes.

This should bring me up to two posts a day on average now. If not, my next post in the review thread will. Yay.

You're right.

Yes, I've finally reached level 10! And I'm also about 340 away from my next Elite Guard badge! I'll try to get that before Acidburn updates the list.

Grats. You may (or may not) have the time to do it. I picked up the one PC today ... turns out the only thing wrong with it was the surge protector protected it (and blew in the process). Part of the issue I had with doing the list last time was only having one computer to work on while doing it ... so much easier using one to pull stats and post on the other. DSL stuff is still on a truck someplaced but supposedly I'll be able to pick it up tonight. It's unlikely, but I might be able to get going on a list before the weekend is over. Providing I don't seriously fark the install Mon day should actually be the latest I get one up.

In other news, despite this crappy dial-up and everything else I've been up to my eyeballs doing, I'm still slogging along with votes. 1,500 to go until the rank up and 7% bonus ^^

How far down does the list go?? I know I am not on it, but I am trying my hardest to get on their and I hope to reach it before my summer is over (which hasn't started quite yet [10 days] )

If you're talking about Acidburn's list, you'll either already be on it and you just missed your name, or you'll be on it next time because I'm sure she'll notice you posting about the list...

Congrats man, that isn't long at all, and it is amazing knowing you use dial up and have got so far already!

You were ranked 328 on the last update (click current, then the intralink for 301-350), 359 on the one from 10 April (Archives button/Site list link), 372 on 3 April (Archive/Site), 400 on 27 March (Archives/Site), and 415 on 21 March. That last date was when I picked the list back up, when you were added to it, and the last date the list was posted in thread.

I was on cable until recently, so it's not as grand as it seems. The last ~6 weeks+ I've been diddling around with a 14.4 over a cellphone and this 52kbps over dial-up as I scurried back and forth between NY and NH ... 5 hours each way o yay. I've managed only 700 BPs in the last 3 weeks, when things hit crunch time on this move and connecting was a real fiasco. For what I've had to work with, it's a decent accomplishment, but I would have gotten that much in one week, not three, settled in at my old house on cable lol

I bet you are looking forward to that nice .45ish boost to your VP. It's good to hear that everything is starting to work out with your internet/living situation. Take your time on the list, we've all waited this long, a few more days won't be bad at all.

I think he's just been temporarly been using dial-up during the moving process.

Except for the fact that the 7% and 5% (EGSC) bonuses combined will shoot me past 10.00VP even, yes I am. Basically, to hit 10.00, I'll have to be General for 2-4 months, otherwise I'll go from ... say 9.75 to 10.07 by hitting SC. It depends on how long it takes me to get to General, which depends on how long it takes for me to get everything wired up again, as to how long I'll be stalled there.

This is the only milestone I actually plan to waste time hitting, so you'll likely see me parked at 29,900 BPs ish for a while. God forbid Wade suddenly gives us all those blam points for the whistles he cleared. I don't want to be parked close enough for that to push me over lol After that, 36,512 is probably what I'll end up stopping on.

Almost there........I'm almost to 2,500 Blams. I think I can do it, eiother tonight or definately tomorrow

I'm rather curious why 36, 512 specifically?

At 5/13/04 09:13 PM, -AcidBurn- wrote:

:Stuff

why would you want to stay at 29,900 ish for awhile... why not go all out to reach 30,000 and not care at all after that?

1337 speak - 36512 = EGS12 ... most likely, having to stall out, I'll be the 12th Elite Guard Supreme Commander.

Just had a nice end to the evening. I happened to stumble across this as I was wandering around the video store trying to find anything to amuse me and it piqued my interest ... and no, I still haven't rented anything in English in the last 3 months lol

If you liked the Evil Dead series, 28 Days Later, cheesy samurai movies, or anything with characters that are out and out whack-jobs, check out Versus. Think gun-toting-ninja-zombies against a gun-toting-samurai-reincarnated-resurrected-zombie ... I'm still not entirely clear on who died, which time, how many times, or when. Fortunately it doesn't take itself seriously else it would get too heavy handed ... more on the order of the spoofiness of Evil Dead 2 than the campiness of Army of Darkness.

Or you can just buy Onimusha 1, 2, or 3 for PS2. :)

Hah, I never would've guessed that. It's actually really neat how it can work out that way.

Congrats Acid now that is a number to be proud of, nice going...

10.00VP is a mark I actually want to make, not simply beat. Unless I do ~1500BPs/week for the next month, I have no way to hit SC and not shoot past 10 without landing on it ... or stop depositing (and I've missed enough of them already lol).

Yeah, stalling at a number that actually means something to you, rather than just having a nice round 40,000 for example is really cool. Awesome number symbolism. Hopefully I can make EGSC before 99 other people do, so if I want to stop getting points I can stall at 36,5~~. Just gotta stay ahead of rank #100...

Going to ger 4000 protection points today. Right now I am 4 away so I think I will make it.

yo everyone... just gettin it back to tha topic.... i only have 17 exp to go untill level 11!! w00t for me! yeeh. newayz.... that is all... lol
i also have just over 2000 b/p.... not much i know compared to you guys up there ! ^^ but fo me its somethin... :D
cyaz all later

MM

Congrats all on levelling up and reaching the blam save landmarks. I have howevernow taken a slight interest in the blamming and saving that you all do, so im actually going out my way to try and help tidy up this place, w00t for me, lol.

Yes. Over the summer I hope to reach the top list. I am now at like 200 something....

Come on if you are waybe brady you will just find a woman who already owns the game and then you would slap a biotch

Good luck. I'm trying as hard as i can but i still can't seem to get as much b/p as i used to before my break...i'm getting a bit worried :-S

I was referring to the "gun-toting-ninja-zombies against a gun-toting-samurai-reincarnated-resurrected-zombie". I know it's a movie. You should play PS2 anyway.

Meh, just keep at it, it will be a lot harder then it was for me to get to the spot I have now, but keep pushing!

Thanks baron, i really want your number even more than a top 50 spot. Well maybe not but it is the best number outside of the top 50 :-)

And i shall keep pushing also.
