It's a Russian rank, problem?
not at all, im just trying to think how you would pronounce it and such. Think about it though, If you were a Russian police officer in America, and an American asked the Russian what rank he is, and the Russain said "Praporshchik", the average American would probably have no idea what the hell he just said, and how high of rank it is, etc.

I've just looked it up on a soviet army website, as you were asking how Hi of a rank it is
It translates to "warrent officer" and "senior warrent officer" which doesn't sound as cool.
It's above Sargent but below Lieutentant in the soviet navy and army .
Oh, and pronouced "Ïðàïîðùèê" if that helps, :P yeah

nah... it doesn't sound as cool, the Americans/Canadians should also have it as a Praporschick(sp?)

not really, but thanks for trying! that looks completely differnet then the actual word.

It's not coming out right, the "russian" text doesn't work on Newgrounds. I couldn't tell untill I actually posted it.

It's just as well, the soviet's pronuniation (and it's spelling) wouldn't help anyone here!

Response to Wi/Ht? level up! Lounge 2004-07-23 20:19:02


The pronunciation of Praporshchik is pra (as in prat) - porsh (as in the car) - chick (as in chicken). Just so you know.

Thank you.
Although I wasn't the one who asked originally (i think it was JOObie)? it's good to know
One more question would be... why does newgrounds go by RUSSIAN ranks, <general, praporshchik, Lieutenant> ???
just wondering?

Variety? So that curious minds can aimlessly argue over it in the forums? The Russian mafia violently encouraged them to do it? We shall never know...

Happy 100th post by the way Bila!

Meh, very few have more Saves than Blams. In fact, I think TooCool100 is the only one.

I've got to wait over a month for mine. At least I only have 11 points before I become an EG Major. Not a favourite badge, but any new badge is a good badge.

The only sad thing is my screenies will look wierd from now on ever (since the fifth digit in my blams makes it impossible to fit all the text in). That and I got the badge an hour ago, but couldn't post.

Aww, poor thing. At least it's certain for you tomorrow. And I'ld rather have the level for a short while and lose it than having to see "You are 1 point away from level 13".

Think you'll keep going if you ever close in on Fixit, or ramagi for that matter?
If fixit was indeed an auto-voting program and it's plug was pulled by administration then yes Pure_LionHeart, I have a chance to close the gap on that particular account (it may take a long time). Unless ramagi or gfox stop their steady point gains I highly doubt I'll ever catch either of them. Like I said before, I'll be content just to make it into the top 5. That gets closer each and every day.

No no no, fixit was a robot who was programmed to stop at 49,500 so his owner could do the last 500 b/p by himself and then post on the BBS "HAHAHAH!!!! I AM THE MASTER!!! 50,000!!! WOOO HOOO!!!" But then his plan backfired and somewhere along the line the robot killed him and thus when the robot stopped at 49,500... no one was left to do the final 500 b/ping manually. ;_;

(* - note: this theory conceived by Joe)

As for me and ramagi, I doubt we'll always be getting the same b/p we're getting these days. But then again, I doubt ANYone will be. Your goal of top 5 is within your grasp, though, aside from that, as you said. Have fun, and good luck!

No, his name is TooCool100, and Pure was just talking about him. O_o

And he doesn't have 20k saves.

He has 14k saves. Only fixit and I have more than 16k. No one has anywhere near 20k. Me and Toocool probably will in 2005, though.

And yes, Afterburner has way more saves than blams. So does SantoNinoDeCebu. I was talking about all three of them back on page 557 or 555 or something, I think, Pure... you sure weren't paying attention. #;-}>

Anywho, the VP list is updated, it's on page 38 or just click my siglink... I wanted to do the final updates (by me) of the top 50 blam and save lists, but I have no time. Got a wedding to get to. So enjoy the VP list for now, and I'll see you guys by Monday when I plan to do the top 50 updates (on the 1st anniversary of the top 50 blammer list).

Have a good weekend, everyone!


gfox // wi/ht?#9 // defunct PentaList (final update: 3/15/2008) // Cyberdevil's HexaList!
