Bah, I was 1 second late...

BonusStage-congrats on that Qwoxyl, but that just goes to show how many blams there are out there :(
True, but a point's a point, and I'm not missing any just to get a good save average.

But then it's not as exciting. And then we can leave the page with "Click here to deposit" open until 1, so cheating would happen. Anyway, here's today status.

And here are today's first depositers, or at least the ones who showed up. Yay!

Oh well, I guess Newgrounds just hates me. Probably has a right to, considering I'm pulling close to 100,000 profiles off of their servers right now. :-D Speaking of stat pulls, I'm working on a program to make a top 25 nightly first deposits list. I'm trying to work out how it will work. Here's the plan right now:

* The list will be run nightly, and archives will be kept (it'll be a small list)
* One list will contain the first 25 deposits for each night
* First place is a gold medal, second is a silver, third is a bronze
* Another list will have a list of everybody who has gotten a medal, along with their medal counts

Okay, here's the thing: to compare total medal counts on that second list, how should I assign points to the medals? I'm thinking 10 for gold, 5 for silver, and 2 for bronze. Any ideas?

but... would it mess up NG if everyone tried to deposit all at the very same time?

Do we need to take this so seriously? I just want to be first once and then I can move on with my... online life. I'm not even sure where the posts will be held for it, this topic would have to be called "Wi/Ht? level up and first depositers! lounge" or a new topic, which wouldn't be too popular since only a few people would even care and other then stopping the depositers from posting it here, it's not really a need.

Yes, about the medals, can they be cookies? And obviously not gold, sliver and bronze cookies, but maybe baked choc-chip, home-made, and plain? Since I just see this as a 'fun' little list, they could really be anything, but medals just seems too much for depositing first.

Cookie counts, that could work.

Unfortuantly, if someone misses out by less than a second (and with a system like this, if they don't deposit on 12, they've already lost) they're not going to be happy and some might start having five windows open at the same time just to deposit first, which would screw around with NG.

It would probably be a new thread. And yes, the thread might die out after a while. But I'll put links in my sig, and hopefully I'll be able to keep people visiting it. At least the medal (or cookie) counts will help draw people in.

Yeah, it messes up. Just take a look at my messed-up deposit time ranking posted a few posts up. Err.....

Actually, this post has made me stop and think. Perhaps this will just be a hand-maintained list of the top three "first depositers" cookie counts. Only people that have gotten in the top three on any night will be in the list, and it will be sorted by the number of "cookie points". It'll be a nice, simple list, one that I could probably maintain by myself, rather than making a program. I might make a program that will pull the top three for me each night, though, because that page tends to fly by.

10?!?!! It's just to see who can deposit first, not a life and death situation. And you still didn't win today, or other days for that matter?

Sounds better, I mean if no one remembers second, who's going to remember being 25th? And they can check anything higher than third if they want on the normal list if it doesn't screw up.

That's good, I hated it when I was close to 12, yet didn't have any idea of who was first because the list messed up. And no one else could find out either.

Yup, this program waits until there's 5 people with 12:XX:XX deposit times (just in case), then it saves a copy of the deposit list to my hard drive with a date stamp. I also scheduled the thing, so that way if I'm not at my computer a certain day, the program will automatically pull the info for me. Cool stuff.

I went ahead and used today's data and yesterday's data to make a prototype list: NG Quick Draw! It's at http://www.jfsoftware.com/ng/ngqd.html. I haven't added the cookies yet (I'm going to look for good cookie pics right now), but it's got the basic structure of the list.

Of course. I wouldn't have watched the whole series if I hadn't. I also saved all 9 episodes to my newly-created folder for NG Flash and showed them to my brother, who also enjoyed them. So far the folder has Beebo, two Brackenwood Flash's and Decline 2.

That was a mistake joobie made while reviewing. #;-}>

Yeah, but j00bie's an idiot.

Glad you enjoyed it, albeit in a different way than you expected. I can't really relate to that, as I first watched BEEBO 6 when.

Uh... is that sentence finished? I don't understand it.

poxpower and Dobio talking (half-jokingly, but only half) about how much they want this topic shut down in the mod lounge.

Doesn't sound too bad SK. Now that my computer clock is correctly synched (THANKS GFOX) I might have an alright chance at top 25. Pity dial-up takes a few seconds to load up the 'Thanks for voting!' screen, hence restricting my access to medals. :( As for the points, the classic 3-2-1 scheme always works for me. If you make the points awarded too high, totals could get outrageously high in no time.

You have to deposit every day, without fail, as I have learnt. I stopped depositing a while back and if I had deposited every day since my sign up, I would be level 12/13 by now.

You know BonusStage (can I use the acronym for your name from now on?), not every post you make in here has to be a gfox style post (yeah I know, I'm doing it right now). It's nice when you throw the odd "one post reply" into the mix (just don't treat the topic like a chat line). When you continuously make long winded posts people will eventually start to ignore them even if you replied to someone specifically (you can't reply to what you don't see). Think of it as listening to an insurance seminar for the entire day. Ever been to one?

Yep, I agree with you, you are not the problem what so ever.

However, one of the reasons I have not been posting in here as often is because this topic grows like 3 or 4 fucking pages every night.
I mean, I post in here, leave, then I come back to see it flooded with new posts.

I was really happy when I saw this was still on the same page as it was when I last made a post. I assume this is due to Recon and Gfox. Recon pretty much took the words out of my mouth. It is good to post long replies some times, but when they only post with these mammoth replies that take up a shit load of space, it get's old fast, especially seeing how often they are posting them. I am not saying to stop posting, but rather, slow down and don't post as much.

I am hoping things will go back the way they used to be. And from the looks of it, they already have!
