Yeah i will don't worry i'm not leaving NG unoticed i hope. But i'm not going in an Ozcar way because I'm nowhere near as well known or anything and no-one will post in there to say goodbye. Except probably you spectar :-)

Hah, Europe isn't horrible. I have been to England once before and found it quite nice. I am not going there this time though, I am visiting France, Switzerland, and Germany. (I feel like i've said this before). But yea, Hope....sure....I have been catching up to you in B/P points for a while now and later this week I can promise you that I will be ahead of you! :) But then oh course, you will just catch up to me when I am gone...:(

I wasn't refering to the whole of europe, only the little bit of trash that is the city of manchester. The rest of europe is indeed very nice and a million times better than anywhere near manchester. And you can try to catch me all you want, but i assure you that you won't pass me for at least another couple weeks. Maybe less though...

Oh, and it's Specter, not spectar. :)

Yeah sorry about that once i do it once it kinda sticks so i do it all the time. Sorry again.

Well we will see. Remember though, I used to be 24 places behind you. Now I am only 7. Heh, I am getting closer with every B/P point!

No problem. I understand.

Yes, but i didn't go on the day before yesterday i didn't even deposit so that would have given you quite a catch up but we shall see who is the victor in this tiny little race that i shall win!

Wow. I'm amazed at how fast most of you responded to the voting reminder. When I recently checked my e-mail there were 13 new replies! Thanks to everyone who voted so quickly and I'll post a list of the remaining members who haven't voted. Votes get tallied by tomorrow night. Come on gfox, this is no time to play games ;-)

All I discovered was the wonderful penguins I have set as my desktop wallpaper, which Weebl so lovingly sent me.

Has anybody seriously fell for that thing?

Yeah, someone said I would get codes to Shinobi. It happened when I was a wee little boy.

Congrats Ivader on the level up and the silver whistle. Well done buddy.

Yeah, those first two levels seem to go by so fast. I hardly noticed them go by. Well, congrats on your Silver. Heh, I'd like to see how long it will take you to give up on getting the Gold.

Excellent work, do you see yourself being a lieutenant this month?

Sexy stuff there Jon.

Hmm... There's 17 days left and I currently need 471 points for Lieutenant. That averages at around 28 points a day, which is a bit ahead of my rate. Shouldn't be too long after the end of the month though. A more realistic and probable goal would be to pass biology_dude, an inactive user 115 points ahead of me.

What exactly do you mean is being taken away from me

~sigh~ I did my usual. Opened a new browser and started setting up a big post of replies. There wasn't anything else to reply to so I just sent that in lol

I don't know if that's weird or not, but I totally skipped bronze, or I didn't notice it, anyway. Eh, anyway. I leveled up too. Just so you know.

It's not uncommon. Even though whistle levels are recalculated at the same time as the other stats (I think) what you are dependent upon is for those whistles to clear and earn or subtract points. It's done manually, so it's not a progressive process. You'll earn no points for a while, until flags are cleared and since it requires someone physically set aside the time to do so, they do batches of them at one time. You may have "earned" whistle points for flags over the last two weeks, but simply not received all those points until yesterday when they were finally cleared. When recalc time came through, all the points you now have were enough to jam past bronze entirely and get to silver.

4.) Jessica_ (resident ghost and no current e-mail)

There you have it. Exactly half of you (out of 18) replied and I expect a few more votes to roll in by Sunday night. Now I'm gonna finish my lunch. ** growl **

I got my 3000 blam point today. I unfortunatly missed the screenshot though. I am sad.

Oh well, it's a land mark so that's good, I guess.

But alas, so screenie.... :'(

Soon to be 19 members!! Forgive my ignorance Joe but who the hell is GaryHobson?? I'm almost ready to do a search for his name on the net but I thought I'd ask you first just incase he turns out to be a porn star or something.

Watch the show some time. It's a lot better than most of the stuff you see on TV.

I Leveled up to lvl 10!!! YEY!!!!

Congrats on surviving through the first 9 levels!

Now this just frustrates me... my b/p rate has dropped drastically recently, and it sucks because now I am EIGHT b/p away from levelling up... but the one time I have a little bit of free time to be online is when hardly anyone submits movies! So now after tonight I will probably only be just a few points away from levelling up with no idea when I'll be able to get online again! AAARRRRGGHH!

Okay, now that that's out, I can chill... I guess it doesn't really matter anyway since it won't help me until I can vote, so I might as well level up when I can spend some time voting. But still...

Congratulations on the 10th level! Aren't you relieved you got rid of that annoying level 9? Heh, now get used to the Boxing Glove. Actually, this level is going by much faster than getting from level 9 to 10.

My theory on this is that you're so used to levelling up very quickly for the first 9 levels that when it suddenly takes you 3 months instead of 5 days to reach a new level it seems to take forever. But once you're used to taking around 3 months per level up, it just goes by faster.

Yeah, and I was wrong about this... suddenly a flurry of movies popped into the portal, so it seems that I should make Staff Sergeant by the morrow. But at this rate I'll never get those damn gold badges...

Up by five as of now =) Grats!

You might want to pipe in in this thread. I wrote out one of my usual novels but one of the points that should interest you is the tracking I proposed him doing either in addition to, or instead of, what he is doing now.

Welcome to Level 13. Population: TsarMatt.

A quick note for those of you twiddling around with flipsided:

One thought I had about them was that maybe their "ranks" were split ... instead of needing 100 in any combination, like here, say you'd need 50 of each there to earn the first "rank". I managed to do that today, but no rank yet, nor have I seen any change in the effect any of my votes have. It's still possible that they actually have separate "ranks" for their blams and saves, but I obviously haven't hit any of the checkpoints.

I've wandered through some peoples profiles and still have no clue what the difference is between "flipsided" points and experience. The top level there is 30, with levels below that apparently scaling against it. Whoever has the most (azrag at the moment) is level 30. The next person behind him (cyberdevil) is listed as level 8 and shows that he need to get to 400 XP to get to the next level. Since they swiped the 30 level schema, it's likely that you enter into scaling levels once you get past 8.

17 "keeps" until I take first place for that too ;)
