Well, congrats to the level-ups of Dire and Homo_The_Clown. Didn't notice any others, but if I did in fact miss someone, then i'd like to congratulate you as well.

Also, I finally got to see that BiteMe user post. It was interesting since Dobio constantly compares me to him and this was the first time i've seen him post at all.

Frankly...I don't see the reselmblence.

More to do with posting habits than actual personalities methinks.

Yeah, that's what I assumed. Supposedly he posted fast and cray, like I used too do(Still sometimes do). ;)

Oh well, back to RetroGade. Not doing well with reviews here, but doin' alright there. lol

I cant find where to copy and paste my activation number >:(.

I wanna sign up to see what it's like and stuff...

But i cant find where to activate my account!

yea, but not bedn know my password! I wanna log in and change it!

It's the same as my NG one.

I'm 11 pts away from lv. 11 and I just made Elite Guard Private First Class.

Bend is an idiot who will steal anyone's account given the chance just for the thrill of it. If your retrograde password is the same as your NG one then by all means change your NG password immediatly.

Click "sign in" at the top then click on the window that pops up where it says "personal profile"

Weird, I didnt have to copy/paste any retrogade activation code.

It just did everything automatically, and yes... my password has changed... but the email that Bedn auto-sent to me still had my password on it.

he may still be able to get this, but i'm not going to be too paranoid about it.

I've been inactive the last few hours, just for back from 'Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle". I feel that is worthy of a level up thread post.

Just to be clear, that was NOT sarcastic... someone taking over your name is just confusing.

thank Gawd and Tomfulp that your postings switch to your NEW name so we can tell YOU from this clone

o, now i know you are harassing me, :_< what'd i ever do to YOU huh *cries*

Huh? I'm refering to the way if I cange my settings, every post in every forum updates to the new name. (in the old school BBS days your old messages were stuck with your old name so it was confusing)

danm this all...if i had just remembered my old user name and password i would be level 13 right today. and i would have 1000 posts by now but instead i started over and today i leveled to three... FUCK MY FORGETFULNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't worry about it Pure, some of the biggest spammers out there are mods (just punch up their posts on the odd occasion and decide for yourself). What would be funny is if you were really biteme2514 posting on an alternate account. Talk about a post count!!!

I meant how was I supposed to know that you'd added all that other stuff to the list. I remember you offering to send it out to people, but I (stupidly, as it turns out) assumed that you would be sending out the exact same thing you posted, which I had already saved to my harddrive. Should have realised how silly that was!

I'm gonna reply to your post from Dogma's topic here:

Fair enough. Jumping from topic to topic isn't the most convenient way to converse with someone.

New link in my profile? You mean a new page in my sig list links?

Yeah... that. >_< Whenever a link changes from a dimmed orangey colour to a bright yellow one, I know there's an update I have to check out.

hey now. No frownie faces for no good reasons! There was nothing wrong with bringing up the idea that you brought up. O_o

I just don't like being wrong.

I would much prefer that. It'd be great to take a trip down Nostalgia Lane and check out your old sigs and alias' and stuff. As long as the profile link shows the current information confusion should be minimal.

Well, I am now ranked 51 for blams and saves!
Well, thus ends the one good thing that happened to me today!

Holy cows! Thats awesome!! Im now ranked 73, hopefully i'll be 72 tommorow :P

Congrats to Dire_Wolf9 for something that was probably important but I forgot what it was, blackpatriot for level 11, and greeniemachine for his 3 achievements.

Well, congrats first and now you're really close to the Top 50. No one's gotten in there for a while now, and it should keep you happy for a long time.

Congratulations ! I bet the top 50 is so close you can smell it !

Currently, j00bie's profile said
Blam/Protect: Ranked # 297 out of 565,399 users!

heh, My goal was the top 300 yesterday.

I guess i made it!

that was just a days worth mini-goal.
I think D0GMA is updating the EGRL and I wanted to get into the top 300

W00T!!! Double celebration.

Just made Elite Guard General and my VP is now over 10, 10.36 to be precise. One of my major goals (10 VP) has now been reached.

The portal was really slow this morning, so I spotted you the 6 you were still short at stat pull ;)

Thanks for not making me a liar ^^

Thanks, i was a bit short on Gfox's VP list yesterday, otherwise i would've jumped about 10 ranks higher. You saved me from double disappointment.

Just click "Sighn in" then click on the "forgot your password?" link and there where it says forgot your user name too type in your e-mail that you used in that account and they will send you your usere name and password to that e-mail.

P.S. Last night I was at Medieval Times dinner and tournament it was really fun they had a big feast and there was jousting, sword fighting and stuff like that, it was really fun! I got back at 12am and was asleep until 11am and missed out on some b/p points oh well it was very fun. Has anyone ever been there? They have on of these places in like 10 states.

Thanks for voting, IM_KOOL_R_U!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of 5.88 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 46% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 8.59 votes

Yay extra boost of .12 vp.

which means now I am a Elite Guard Major General. So now on to 48% too bad I have to go back to school monday.

DOGMA 'gave' me 6 points, and in effect, said i ranked up when i hadn't quite yet. So i did make the list : )

OH i see, guess i read it wrong, SO she cheated the system for you ;P lucky bastard ^_^

Stat pull takes 3 hours and change. This means that the people at the bottom of the list get 3 hours to earn BPs that the people at the top of the list don't. After I've gone through the stat pull, I resort based upon the new ranks. I then go through and check all the people who are close to a rank-up to even things out.

Anyone who has a decent daily rate, has earned points since I did the first run through, and is under 5-10 to rank is probably going to make it before I get the list up. In those cases, I'll usually just "fudge" my recorded numbers to get the rank up done this time. I spotted leeboy (6) and Eliempee (4) this go round. There were a number of other people who are close, but none that met all three of those.

I've had the "worst case" happen before at least once ... I spotted someone a half dozen points for the rank-up and they promptly stalled short of gaining the rank. By the next update, they still had not made it. That's when I tacked on the mental note that they need to be earning points while I'm doing the pull ... they are more likely to make it and I won't have to deal with the EGRL showing a rank-up that isn't going to happen for a couple of updates.

LOL That's just the stat pull. I started at 5:05 and finished the last recheck at 8:20. After that the real work starts and then I post as soon as everything is ready.

The EGRL A list and comments were actually ready at 10:15. The rest of the time was spent twiddling with the EGRL B list and the Top 50s. I should be able to shave an hour off the whole process next time and get it back near something reasonable.
