Congrats on your new badge!
However, don't think you will be at a higher badge then me.
While we may only be one Badge apart, there is still well over 2000 blams and saves between us.
It indeed gets much harder, now with 1500 to go per new Badge!

Yeah, whenever I find the time, I try to get as much as possible. I'm never gonna just stop and then try and catch up a while later.

Heh, I hadn't even noticed Nemesis' rankup (though he was talking about it a week ago or so, and thus I knew it was coming). Weird, since I save the top 50 list every day...

:::checks:::

oh, well no wonder. He was at 23,493 as of the update to the list this morning. I would have noticed in 10 hours had it not been for me happening to check Wi/Ht? this afternoon/evening.

ANYWHO, massive congrats on yet another big VP gain, Nemesis. Just think, if Joe can slam a few more thousand b/p on your account, you'll hit those 7% and 5% bonuses... and those'll put even your massive 2% gains to shame. #;-}>

How's everything going, people? You can thank NGling's "I'm back" topic for me posting today, BTW.

My computer time is going to limited in the next few days to other commitments. So my vote for the ckub is Slightly_Crazy_Dude.

Are we holding voting on the BBS AGAIN? I thought we'd decided to keep that to e-mail. Eh.

As will I, I'm slowly but surely chugging along with b/p points. Gonna be awhile til I can think about top 50, with school and work but I still can rake up 40-50 points a day.

Well, you're both on your way to the Top 50, as am I. I just wanna see someone, anyone, pass Fixit. :)

So do i, but knowing fixit as soon as someone gets anywhere near him, he will do about 1000b/p per week and then the person will eventually give up. It's very sad...

Now that it is much harder to use a bot to Auto-Vote for you, Fixit won't be able to keep his first place rank for to much longer.

At least that is how I feel!

In protects, that is. #;-}>

Eh, we'll see about that. After he hit 49500, he stopped completely (except for getting one more point, which I believe was probably from something that was whistled later clearing, or some such delayed point reason).

Perhaps by 2005, I'll have gotten close enough to him to see if your "wake up" theory is accurate. :::shrugs:::

Oh yeah, i forgot about fixit not voting anymore. I mean i don't think that his numbers have moved for like a week...

C'mon Gfox, you only need 13,000 more. Quit be lazy and get there by the end of the week. lol ;)

In fact, he has not made a single point in many weeks !

I wish Joe was helping me, this last rank I did myself. All 2000 B/P's of it. That's why it's taken such a long time to happen. And I imagine it will take even longer for the next two. Oh well, one day I'll have the last badge.

More like 6 weeks or so.

fixit was at 49,400 on 4/22. He reached 49,500 on 4/23.

For many days, he got no points.

On 5/5 he got one point (as I mentioned in a post further up the page), most likely due a delay in the system whether due to a whistled entry or just a point that didn't clear on time for him.

Since 5/5, when he thus hit 49,501, fixit hasn't moved at all. That's over a month now since his last point, and WELL over a month since he stopped, pretty much.

hahahahaha. No.

Now, 38,000 I'm aiming for by my birthday (30th), because I don't want to be in the 37000s come that day. But at a rate of 1000 every 2 weeks right now, clearly 49,501 is going to take some time... About half a year, methinks. And that's if I don't slow down, which I will, from time to time. Might speed up from time to time as well, though.

Oh really? He'd talked about getting you up to it, though. Why'd he stop? It's not like he's putting all his points into his own account, he's getting like 10 a day, tops. Guess he's really just not voting much anymore, then. Anywho, congrats CHIEFLY to you, then. Your work is built upon his shoulders, in part, however. #;-}>

Anyway, getting to 25,500 is solid enough for you. If you do that, that 7% is going to smash the VP boundary wide open and leave a gaping hole between your mark and ramagi's.

ramagi was #1 for over a year, she's not planning on getting 10k+ b/p. I dunno if she'll stop again like she did at 36,000 for 4 months, but she's said she's thinking about stopping at 40,000, I believe.

Really? I had no idea. Well, in that case, you pass Fixit. lol Someone has too.

eventually.

But as you can see from the top 50 list, not many people have much motivation to keep moving forward once they hit EGSC. At least, not very quickly. There's no carrot dangling in front of the horses anymore, basically.

Give us a few extra ranks and THEN see what happens. fixit would be passed much sooner, I can assure you of that.

He's only gotten me maybe a max of 2000 points for my account. The other 21,500 are all me. But that's still one rank.

Yeah, I got that one for you in about 2-3 weeks after you ranked up. Then I noticed you started getting more so I stopped at the time. I just barely vote on newer submissions to begin with. Mainly I just check them out to see if they break the rules so I can flag them but I don't really try for blam/protection points anymore.

One BIG rank, too. Several smaller ranks. #;-}> I didn't mean to devalue the magnitude of your self-gained b/p. Just, as someone else pointed out, noting that unlike most of us, you got some hefty b/p assistance.

Why the continued interest in whistling if you don't feel like getting b/p, though? Don't want to lose deity? Or just feel that's more of a help to NG than b/ping is?

Oh welcome back gfox nice to see you posting again...

I never like to see people get away with stealing someone else's flash. And many times, there aren't enough people to realize that something is stolen to take care of it. Whenever I find something is stolen, I give the link to the submission, and a link to the original place it is to a bunch of people so it can get flagged. If the movie is good (No use in stealing a crappy movie) voting 0 on it won't be very effective if it isn't flagged since other people will be voting based on the flash itself. I keep pestering people to blow the whistle on it until it's flagged. Whenever I do that, it feels a lot better than getting hundreds of blam/protect points.

When I watch a flash, I sometimes get a feeling that it's stolen, then go looking for it (If I don't know where it is already from previous occasions) and find where it originated from. There aren't many people that wouldn get the same feeling as me and realize that it's stolen, so I do all that I can to make sure it's flagged.
