Man i remember being a dark for a day

I was dark for all my level 1 to 9, then I realized most people were level 9 with dark auras, so I changed it to light, and never changed it back !

Gather 'round all, and I shall tell ye a tell of auras galore.

I was Neutral from 1 to 9 because of the old system that judged your aura by voting habits. When I finally returned to NewGrounds, I changed to Dark for a tad time. Then when I got more familiar, I changed to Neutral to suit my personality. Then I got nicer and went to Light.

So ends my heroic story of mystery and enchantment.

It was still like that when you first joined? I thought they'd killed that much earlier...

Anyways, I was neutral under the old system, then became dark in the new system. Was neutral for a little while and even light to celebrate 1,000 saves, which coincided with my leet post:

Yeah, I remember trying to get Dark and voting 0-1 constantly. :) I think that's one reason why they killed it.
Anyway, I know it was still there when I left, sometime during July, '02. I was shocked when I came back and it was gone. :)

Funny. I can't picture you Light. Neutral, maybe...but Light...nah. lol

You guys change Auras too much, today is a one time thing because of my 6.66 Voting Power, when i reach 6.67 (tomorrow or on Saturday), ill go back to being my lightness.

even though i have 3X+ more Blams then Saves.

Congrats to Bonus stage well done mate, good work. Im 80 away from Dogmas "little" list now, i hope im there by saturday, i prolly will though.

Ive never changed auras since i came here, ive always thought neutral suited my personality better, but things change sometimes. Ive thought about changing to dark to reflect my mood sometimes, like yesterday when i started snapping at people for no reason (sorry lionheart, peace mofo).

In level, yes, but if you act in a non-noobie way on the BBS, people might start to respect you.

W00t. I got my 5000th b/p point and snagged the screenie. Half way to 10,000. It's a long way off to 10,000 but I am working my way up slowly.

Hey IM_KOOL_R_U is here to tell you he broke 15,000 blam points today. That is halfway to 30,000 which most of the allstars are at.

That's excellent man, but not to burst your bubble or anything, but when you get up there, they are going to be miles ahead. Oh well, celebrate your 15,000 anyways, it's a hell of a lot better than most of us. :)

but the final half should go faster, seeing as you have a higher voting power and stuff, you wont miss out on as many points.

Ya'll better stay up tonight since my friend will be submitting a flash and the preview I saw is awesom. And it would be a good protect point for ya'll to.

ill be very upset :(.

I'm sorry everyone! I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just get like that sometimes when people critisize me and I'm not in a good mood. Sorry. Will you guys please forgive me?

A very good milestone!
Allstars? LOL I have trouble with the term "allstar" since I assume I'd be forgotten once I stopped voting and posting...

P.S. is it possible lose whistle level (e.g. silver to bronze) if you don't mark reviews abusive or whistle on movies wrong? Just if you don't use your whistle?

Now THAT is a good question...
To my knowledge, you'll lose whistle level if you blow a whistlw WRONGLY such as claiming it stolden when it is not.
It only takes one whistle-blower, and on the last few I've tried to flag someone else had already marked... so I don't think they hold it against us

Pffft... I bet when I check your point totals tomorrow Bila I'll find the above statement to be false. You're about as determined as I am to continue gaining blam/protect points. My only question is who's gonna call it quits first?

hehe thanks, hearing that from you is both unexpected and almost an honor too :P, and why are you not blamming and saving or posting anymore, we need more 20+ people to start posting you guys just look so cool :P

hey now, who said I wasn't blamming or saving anymore... that is an important service to the portal!
I was just pondering that If I died tonight none of you would even know... and most of you would never miss me...
Don't worry, I'm not pondering suicide (sorry Recon_rebel) I'm just... depressed in general, I guess

Indeed. Unless you're the top dog who's about to get taken down, of course.

Finally im gunning for my first Elite Guard badge, i expect i will get it tommorow or the day after, w00t.

Good luck.

That's really sad, indeed.

And as sad as I am for you... I am even more fearful for myself.

Because this news means it's probably about a month until I lose level 16 as well. ;_;

Oh well, I'm going to enjoy it for the rest of July and as much of August as I keep it for. You sure about that "around one week" figure? Hm. Probably right. Now that I think about it, I'm around 190 exp from 17, so you're around 40 exp from it. Yep. Damn. ;_;

Congrats on hitting EGMS, BSC. As MPA said (hahah enough acronyms for ya?), you do indeed have two more 1000 gap ranks... so look forward to 7000 and 8000. Just remember that after that it's 9500, and you won't be disappointed by falling into a sense of 1000-gap complacency. #;-}>

It wasn't until I noticed the 0 blams and 0 saves in my profile in December 2002 that I started to take notice of more things about NG that just playing/watching flash and depositing occasionally. #;-}>

But that said... I'd be willing to bet I've always been neutral. Before AND after the aura system changed.

Congrats on 15000 blams. Though your 5000 protects makes for quite the bleh ratio. ;_;

Anyway, I don't know what you mean by 30,000 blams being where "most of the allstars are at," though. You ARE talking about 30,000 blams, right, not b/p combined?

Because the list of people with 30,000 blams is this:

fixit

Only one person. Not "most of the allstars."

Now, if you meant 30,000 b/p, that's 8 people, of course... but then you're already to 20,000 b/p, which is WAY MORE than halfway to 30k b/p......

So, in short... which the hell did you mean? Blams only or b/p together? Either way, you're confusing the issue in some way. #;-}>

That's ridiculous. Of course we'd notice.

Granted, if you stopped posting, we wouldn't know what happened... but you have less than 100 posts so it wouldn't be too mysterious, really. We'd just assume you went back to not hanging out on the BBS anymore... like before.

Now, if you stopped getting blams and protects... I think many of us would notice. So don't stop and we won't have to worry about you, eh? #;-}>

Congrats Sentinal and IKRU! Nice milestones indeed. Keep 'er up!

:O
Holy shit!
This topic grew much larger than I thought it would while I was out!
Well congrats to all who are worthy of it!

As for me, I will be back to my normal posting after friday. It seems like it just started, but my cousin leaves on saturday, I probably won't get to see him on friday as he has other plans and I will probably go to the mall. It is always so fun once he comes down, we go all kinds of places that I usually wouldn't go, then it ends.

If anything I will probably be bummed out and spend an even larger time on Newgrounds!

:/

Mike

Congrats BSC on getting 5k thats excellent well done. Also congrats to IKRU (again, it seems were congratulating you on a day to day basis) on getting 15k blams well doodly done.

Also see that your njoying yourself away from NG Baron.

Forgot there was only one at 30k blams. And yea I more than halfway to the EGSC. Which I expect to get before my birthday since I might slow down some. Christmas would be the earliest I think I would get it.

No I do go out alot. Can you believe this I actually had a girl over my house last night. I am just trying to catch up since I really could have been on NG alot longer ago. I first saw NG in 96 I know it did not first come out then and they didn't implement the sign up thing until 99.
