Congrats j00bie. I went from 32 b/p points the day b4 yesterday and now yesterday I got atleast 100 b/p points. So I might try to get some to pass Biteme today.
Uh-oh. I'm being plotted against. Oh well, I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise. I've been watching you slowly gain on me for weeks now. An early congratulations for finally seizing the #17 spot that I have clung to for far too long. You've been racking up blam/protect points like a banshee though, haven't you? I mean, a September '03 sign-up date and you're already well on your way to becoming an Elite Guard Major General? Damn! I'd try and stay on a little longer today just to give you a run for your money, but what's the point. I know it's all useless anyways.
Besides, I've been much too busy lately with all the stuff I have to do. Can't spend as much time on Newgrounds as I was once able to. In between trying to finish off writing a screenplay -- no joke, check out the thread, So, I want to be a screenwriter. -- and a few of my friends expecting me to go out and get drunk at least once every week with them, I'm really running low on spare time, even though it is summer. I kind of gave up trying to put on a fight since Artificial passed me anyways. That was, like, last month. And now he's well over 2,000 blam/protect points in front of me. Do me a favor though, IM_KOOL_R_U. Make sure you catch up to that guy and knock him down a slot. Nothing personal. I'm just feeling kind of vindictive right now.
All that having been said though, I'd still be lying if I said that things weren't going well for me. I mean, I reached 14,000 Blams a few weeks ago and as of just a few days ago, I now have 7,000 Saves as well. (See screenshot below.) Not only that, but just like IM_KOOL_R_U, I'm only days away from the Elite Guard Major General rank and the additional 2% bonus to my Voting Power. Less than 9,000 blam/protect points until the highly sought after Elite Guard Supreme Commander rank too. Slowly, but surely. Only thing is, the way things are going, it might be too slowly. I've done the math. There's a very good chance that I'll actually graduate before getting my five-star badge, but what the hell. I'll get there eventually. Now, if you'll excuse me, more pressing matters await me. I still want to get a few more pages down on the screenplay and later on, I'm meeting up with a lady friend and going downtown to see the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Good luck with passing me, IM_KOOL_R_U. Oh, and sorry for the tremendously long post. It's part of my obsessive-compulsive need to explain everything it is I do. Must be one of the side effects of having a certain thread locked from way back in the day.
