I dont think I plan on JUST blamming anytime soon, I dont think it's worth ignoring save points and trying to JUST get blam points.

I think i'll stick with my current method of simply trying to rank up as fast as I can, :D.

In the long run, IMO, it's better off continuing with voting on everything as you have decided. I wanted to at least present the idea of making one of the percentage lists, just in case it was more important to you to make another list. Since you didn't "get it" when I first brought it up, well ... two novellas later, there ya are ;)

IMO I think this is the route they will take if they do add more ranks. It's entirely possible a Field Marshall or some such will get inserted between General and Supreme Commander, but I think that's the highest they would insert a new one. What the values required to reach a rank in any new system is an open question, but a lot of them would be going up ... in the worst case scenario, scaling against the SC. The real headache for them would be developing a new VP bonus system for them if they wished to maintain 60% as the max ... along with all the people who start whining about lost VP when it is implemented.

... DEAR LORD 20 hour days, let alone 26, i'll have to try that sometime :D, and though you may be used to it, i can't imagine living like that, though of course i'm just a student, and i really can't :\, and the fact you can have 6 hours of sleep, i can understand that though, i've done that all but to many times ^_^.

In the five years I've subsisted on my trading income, my normal patterns have simply had the chance to come to the fore. Like everyone else, my natural inclination of a "day" has only a passing resemblance to a calendar day, but I'm a little worse than standard. Like the "normal" body temperature is 37 (98.6), all it is is an average. If I'm at 37, I'm running a mild fever, since my norm is 36.6. In the same way, you can only figure out what your normal "day" is by having the ability to let your body do its thing and observe what happens.

Although the calendars work out fine for solar cycles, "normal" people have a "day" cycle of slightly over 25 hours, which is part of why you'll find it well nigh impossible to get to sleep some nights, or get up some mornings, at your "usual" time. What you normally blame now (too much coffee that day, too much liquor the night before, etc.) still plays the larger part, but that cyclic change is a factor.

I don't subscribe to the theory of biorhythms, but everyone seems to be at least familiar with how they are laid out. Start with all of them at nadir value at midnight on 1 January, and dividers every 12 calendar hours. Presume the red sine wave is the solar day, running 24.015 hours (it's actually been less since the late 60s, when the Soviets slowed the earth's rotation by 1/4 second, but that's another story). The green is the average "normal" value for people, 25.25 (I think). The blue is whatever your value actually is ... best guess is mine is about 28. As you can see, by noon on 4 Jan. I actually think it's midnight. It takes ~800 days for the red to offset like that, so you don't see much difference, but you can already see blue heading towards being skewed.

Meh, nothing much to add at the moment. Haven't paid that much attention to NG over the past couple of days. Have been jumping around from 64-66 in b/p, it's quite close around where I am at the moment, and will hit the top 300 in experience within a week.

Have got a week off work right now, it's great just having a bit of time off. Also have a day off next week when I'm watching the cricket, woo hoo!

Yes, but the people currently at the final rank would have more motivation to get to the NEW final rank(s).

Besides, who says the ranks will continue on from EGSC? They might mix a few minor ones into the mix and still have EGSC as the final rank.

True, that is sensible as well

After all, Supreme Commander is an awesome name for the final rank.

They could always change the names and icons of the current ranks :\.

Check it out one more day and I'm finally level 9! It's not much but level 9 in a month and a week + about 310 b/p that's not to bad. Or is it? I'm going to try to get as many b/p points from now till monday then it's back to school and I'm going to just have to get my daily 10 points. For the first few weeks I can get points on Mon., Tue., Thurs., and Fri-Sun, Bonus Stage said he'd help me by depositing on Wednesday.

P.S. Hey BonusStage starting September I'm going to need you to deposit for me every day except for Fri-Sun(Well everyday that you can I don't mind if you miss a few) Anyways can you help me till christmas break? I don't want to put to much of a load on you since you have to deposit for two other people. If anyone can help me out from January to May that would be great!

heh, 50 exp level gaps are over for you!

1,183 is what you need forlevel 10, - the 400 you start off with at level 9.

1183 - 400 = 783 exp until your level 10.

+78.3 assuming HT add's one more to the amount needed every day = 861.3 exp until level 10 = 87 days of depositing everyday till your next level up.

Good luck!

I think they should add one that only future platinum accounts will have access to:

Elite gaurd secretary of defence - 40000 - 70%

What are the platinum accounts? I saw the page about them, but was to lazy to read it. What do they do?

That page was a joke, but wade says he wants to create real platinum accounts so that would cost $5-$10 a month but be way better than gold accounts.

I was thinking 50000 - 75%

maybe both :D

75% may be a little too much, especially if platinum accounts come with 10%-20% more voting power. We want it to be kickass, not excessive, and while 70% is pushing it, I think it's only fair to those who will pay up.

New ranks would be fun, although I don't see it happening anytime soon. I've toyed with the idea after youhit EGSC you make it into the Royal Guard or something and try to make your way to Royal Guard Czar, King, or something of that nature.

"Super Civillian"
"Super Safety Patrol"
"Super Elite Guard Sargeant"
"Super Elite Guard Supreme Commander"

Every handful of months, current Where Is/How to members all vote via email to "induct" one new member. When a voting session is announced current members nominate people to be in the voting process.

Other clubs, such as ones found in Clubs/Crews can usually be joined by going to a specific one, asking to join, they usually saying ok you're #___ (or if they have a whole bunch already, they'll just say "your in"), and then you posting in that group to remain in.

Something along those lines atleast.

It's not as unlikely an event as you seem to think, but not applicable in this case.

I was aware of that and was being sarcastic. Some moron made that account, scored a ton of BPs, and then abandoned it ... moron for making it; I'm quite happy to see it abandoned and die as ignominious a death as its namesake.

Oh boy! My time has come! :D

Mini pizzas are easy, but the Hamburger I had was loaded with stuff, It was stacked real High.

Mini Pizzas is just a simple grab one shove it down your throat.
Hamburgers on the other hand... Completely different story!
