Congrats on your milestones. Your staring to climb up the charts.

Haha, I probably won't be. Whoever said "Slow and steady wins the race" has obviously never been to NG.

To bad BIGMAN isn't on the forums anymore though, I always liked him, he looks a whole lot like my cousin did a few years ago.

What, naked? Haha, that streaking thread of his was awesome.

I remember his thread on that and was VERY surprised they didn't resort to calling the cops. Who would've thought you could get a shit load of pies for streaking in the middle of public?

Yeah, so true, in Newgrounds you must either give your life to blams and saves, or fall behind fast!

However, as for leveling up, for us, the only way to get higher up nearing the top 100 is to just keep at it.
Say if we are still here in 10 years from now, we would have probably reached a good spot on the top 50.
Then again, with in 10 years, Newgrounds may change the whole way people get points, and even give exp bonuses to people for doing different "jobs" for Newgrounds, such as promoting Newgrounds on different sites and such. However, let us hope they never go the "outwar" route!

That would be cool if there was a new experience system where you can get extra experience. Maybe you could get extra by getting over 100 b/p a day or something. Then again, it might result to us turning into OutWar.

Congrats to wismty on hitting the top 50! Really, really must start getting more points myself. Review list update tomorrow probably as I've got a day off work.

Heh, you won't respect it that much when you've passed me. Congrats on winning all the same. But i'm still not giving up fully. ;-D

I´m obviously giving you one more day... and that day is sunday.... today.
Friends have a party for primary school ended.. so, I just try to get as many b/p I can before clock 16:15.

But TOMORROW I will show you my real VP :D

Congrats Wismty and Pop for their landmarks, well done. I also like the style of your new siggy Pop, its tranquil :)

Are you guys still racing to the next rank for that VP boost? Go Morph. :)

No need to cheer for me, i've already lost but i'm still fighting. Reminds me of The Last Samurai...

To ease your pain a little rlbond imagine what the experience requirements will be for the poor souls who join Newgrounds a year or two from now. If you're still around by then I'm sure you'll appreciate your account a lot more.

~nod~ this time last year I was level 10. Well, I'm pretty sure it was 10, the PC with that speadsheet on it is still down. Anyway, I just made 14, as I missed a lot of deposits this past year, but I'd still need another couple of months to make it to 15 even if I had. This time next year (providing I don't start whiffing on deposits again) I'll be 17. When you consider the fact that the people who are 29 and 30 have been here depositing for 4 and a half years to do so, it does make sense that joining in this much after them is going to dent your ability to level ... even if they all stopped depositing.

Not really. Technically you could walk to and from it, but I live over 20km from "downtown" and I stumbled across that intersection of Temple St and Scripture St. about 2km past the center of "downtown." I will, however, be going back there a lot as the building immediately to the right of the one in the background contains a GREAT Portuguese bakery, but I'll be driving lol

Nice work on both (all three?) counts.

It's probable that the XP/level system will undergo some kind of evolution within the next 3-5 years, but I fine it extremely unlikely it will involve anyone getting "bonus" points for anything at all. Both systems that were in place got abused to hell and removed; "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I really don't see there being a third time.

6.49 VP now and my 1000th Save point.

Yay.

nice number concrats... the only nice number I will have is after 75 blam points...

Thanks Pure and Punk.

I also just made 1500 posts. Not too big of an accomplishment but I still thinks it cool.

Congrats Spectral and anyone ive missed. I severely doubt any changes will be made to the level systems, it would be too much hassle for Liljim and Tom. And if they did introduce a new system, i would like to think they could give all the people already with accounts a little boost if it would affect the way they deposited.

Congrats on 1,500 posts and 1,000 saves man! Your lucky day!

Congrats, and congrats on the 1500 posts as well.

In an amusing turn of events, it seems that major league pitchers are now foolishly pitching to Barry Bonds. This is what happens:

Why thank you man. I guess today was a good day. ^-^

Oh, and Slightly_crazy_dude, it's specter, or Senti, or Sentinal_specter. Not Spectral. Hah, that's a combo of the two but it just doesn't work out like it should. No body gets my name right though so it's not too bad. :)

well, a not important thingy, but my alt acount just reached a silver whistle level... that proves how easy it is to get a silver whistle level... I also didn't noticed it reached bronce

You crazy guys and your alternate accounts. I'm wayyyyyyy too lazy to have one. Actually, I think I have one and forgot about it.

P.S. Congrats! ;)

I thought it felt great to have 4 digits in both blams and saves. It makes the profile look alot better imo, congrats.

It's a nine team private league, so that's everything. Interesting concept as well, we did away with specified positions and just had batters and pitchers. So I can have Thome and Bagwell in the same team.
