the 2nd half to my yearly update. Read above if you're not sure what is going on.

---------------------
Voting Power
it has not been a major thing for me, but still, i always like to improve it.
at the moment, my base voting power stands at 5.86, and my total VP is 7.39. 26% of which has come from my B/P points.
-----------------
Posts
Ahh, the good old BBS. as i've said before, i never realised that it was around untill i was into my late level 9-early level 10 period, and i never started posting daily untill a couple of months after that.
From there, i joined a few clubs, including the NGDD (NG department of defense), the LNL (Late Night Lounge), The NG assasins (which i have left), and Addicted to NG (which i posted in for a few days, and havent posted since (about 4-6 months ago, i'd think). Then, only 3 or 4 months ago, i joined up with The Slackers Crew, who's regulars always have good conversations with me. (MALforpresident, PainBringer, Biteme2514, etc).
i also post in other threads, such as the Top Reviewers List, Rages gift to you: Abusive reviews, and ofcourse of late, the level up! Lounge.

1,662 in total (4.543 per day)
as you can see, that amounts to over 4.5 posts a day. i only recently (im talking in the last week or so) hit 4 posts a day, as in my 2 week holiday period, i had a bit more time for posting :)
-----------
Whistle
For a very long period of time, my whistle level was normal, this was because i did not know you could gain whistle points by marking reviews as abusive!! haha.
so, quite a few months back (my best guess is 4 or so), i gained a Bronze whistle, of which i was very proud of. soon after, i was up to silver, and that is where i plan on keeping it.
I would like to thank the thread 'Rage's gift to you: Abusive reviews' for all of the links to abusive reviews, as they have helped me gain uncountable whistle points.
-----------------
Furthermore, i think that i have accomplished a lot in my one year period at Newgrounds, and i hope that everyone has enjoyed my reviews, posts, and general friendlyness.
A week or two ago, i set a few goals that i wanted to hit for my 1 year period.
About a month or 2 ago, i wished of entering the top 10 reviewers list, as it was always my ultimate goal. i have done that feat, then bettered it 3 times over. im 7th :)
I also set the goal of 6,000 B/P points. i accomplished that not 3 or 4 days ago.
And, i set for myself the goal of reaching 1,600 posts, which i reached about 3 or 4 days ago, also.
So once again, i think that i have done well.
Note - many of my stats may have changed by now, as i've spent around 20+ minutes making this update :) i have probably also missed out on a few posts in the thread.
OH! and, before i forget, not 2 days ago (i believe), i actually made my first milestone post in a thread, ever.
it was in this thread, and i had made the 22,222th reply. i made a post, which was the 22,221st... then forgot to add something from a previous post, and added it 5 minutes later.
i was then told of the feat, and laughed my ass off, because it was a total accident. someone who is a level 12 (but a few hundred exp points below me) threatened to beat me senseless with their wired glove... good times. :)
---------
So, in my final conclusion for the year, i hope that you have all enjoyed my presense at much as i have enjoyed being here, and i do believe i've accomplished quite a few things to be proud of over the last 365 day period.
And dont you worry, everyone... i'll be back on the 11th of November in 2005 to do the same thing all over again. :D hahahah.

...End of update.

im just kiddin ya man.
although i am extremely pissed off about the situation, theres not much i can do about it...
im sure you didnt mean to, aswell. :)

whoopsie daisy.

I find that situation hilarious, that i just managed to post, in such a small needed time period.

Sorry bout that m-a-r-c-u-s

Damn music practice, congrats to everyone who leveled up (I thought I would never say it, but too many hours on the piano has sapped my spare time).

At 10/11/04 08:24 AM, M-A-R-C-U-S wrote: "Today is a glorious day... for today i am a MAN." - Me!! :P

You're a man for having an account for a year? You don't even show your real age, how can you be a man?

O.K, everyone... here it is. my first one-year period update for my time here at NG, and i have blessed the level up! Lounge with it.

Blessed us with your year stats? Ok...

Sign-up Date: 10/11/03
current date: 10/11/04
Day: 365 - one year.

GASP! I would have never guessed, the year update certainly didn't give it away, oh no.

i knew nothing about Newgrounds for a very long time, and, on the 11th of November, 2003

Ahem, today is the 11th of October.

I - as a big fan of RPG games where you upgrade your 'stats' - became quite entangled with NG after that, and i quite liked jumping up through the levels.

So now ask yourself, how many months ago were you jumping through levels? (that would have been before level 10 for sure)

I never knew about the BBS untill i was on level 9 or 10, and therefore i learnt pretty much everything i know about NG by my little old self.

There's a FAQ section, you don't need the BBS to learn those things.

and now, it has been a year. so here are my statistics for the site.
---------------
Experience:
Experience: Ranked # 1,036 out of 607,236 users!

Hmm, what went wrong here? This could take all night to figure out.

Exp. Points: 3,360 / 3,657
that makes 336 days out of 365. so 29 days i have missed out on depositing this year, and it is because of A: a trip to Queensland in January for 10 days, going camping - 5 days, and other assorted times.

Wrong, you get 20 points for making a profile, so that's at least 31 days you missed, and then there's the 5 points you get each for NG updates and Daily Top 5.

total exp for the year = 92.054%
i'll be getting into the top 1,000 very soon indeed.

Now there's something I can't agrue with.

Reviews:

You said update, not NG life story, we've heard enough of that.

Reviews written by M-A-R-C-U-S:
2576 reviews available

Available? What about the unavailable ones, the deleted ones, didn't you write more than 2576?

days at NG - 365.

Repetition, repetition, let's do it again.

so yes, in one year, i have assumed the 7th position on the site in terms of reviews

You just had to say that again didn't you?

And, apart from XwaynecoltX having over 1,000 responses, i believe that i have the highest amount of responses on NG. (2nd to X). if ANYONE has more, please come forward.

Love that you always say "I have the highest amount of responses" all the time and then you put 2nd to X. And then knowing this, you ask if Wayne can come forward since no one else has more.

Blam/Protection points. (NOT saves, they are protections). (B/P)

It says saves in my profile, so they're saves and they're the same thing anyway.

I for one have never been able to gather a lot of B/P points, because of where i live. when i come home from school, it is around 2AM, NG time. when i head off to bed, it is something like 7-9AM, NG time. so, i think that most people are asleep in America. = bummer for me.

Yeah, that's the same place I live, AUSTRALIA (I won't even mention how many I have). And you go to bed from 9-11PM? Some man, can't even stay up late.

and ofcourse, the least amount of B/P points ive gotten in a day has been 0. haha.

Yes, I'm sure missing a day (and over 29 other days) had nothing to do it.

days - 365.

Repetition, repetition, it will drive you insane.

Ratio of blams/protection points = 2.502 (not bad, considering how much crap is in the portal).

It just means being neutral, voting the same as the majority didn't get as many blams as voting according to what the crap deserves.

There is the first half or so to my update. Read below for my other half. (no one better post inbetween my posts!!! haha)
more to come.....

And terqui ruins it.

I think I might read your second post tomorrow and go to bed soon, seeing how it's after 1. And remember, I made fun of you because you should think of what you're writing for your year update instead of just writing as much as possible and hoping that everyone skims over it and congrats you for being here for a year.

That and I just feel like making fun of you.

Thank you for your deposit, Sentinel_specter! You now have 2,840 experience points. You need 3 more to get to level 12.

The next Grounds Gold day begins in 14 hours, 6 minutes and 39 seconds. Come back then and start racking up more experience points!

Hahaa, damnit. Only 3 more exp points till level 12!!!

<flaming Lacie> RAWR!

This is kind of odd, because I find what you are saying (as well as your flaming of Quikfox) surprisingly funny. Though I guess it isnt funny when Im the target. Remind me to TRY and stay on your semi-good side... I do not believe I have any chance of actually getting on your good side, now.. or ever. Unfortunately :'(.

Lacie Wrote
I dont care what you say Recon (aka 'honey').

Well, I guess thats the sensible thing to do is ignore any flames being shed towards you... but I think that you should drop the 'honey' part in your posts... Just a thought.

Recon Rebel Wrote
RAWRRRR I IGNORE LACIE NOW, YOU DO SAME K? HMMMPH!

Well, I dont think I'll be ignoring her posts in anywhich way... (I probably shouldnt say this =\), and I think that what you are doing Recon is just downright childish! (OOPSIE, did I say that?).

The flash itself might be funny but right now it's not. Take your time, I don't want to see myself in a rushed flash.

35 more to get level 10... I hate being level 9...

I'm at 508 pts from level 12. Somehow I sound ridiculous while typing that. Please, type about your rank-ups and milestones. We don't care about how far you are from a level or a rank.

Yer lvl 9 sucks hairy balls 10 is 'da bomb' where as lvl 16 is 'da nuke'

I don't bother to hate ppl on the internet. It is pointless to waste your energy on someone who you will never meet, should never affect your life, and probably lives 5,000 miles away from you.

Hey, what's wrong with saying "I'm almost 18" or whatever? (I'm not, but hey)

By itself, there's nothing wrong with it. This thread is where you post what you've accomplished ... which is the same context of the question and "answer" I posed above. In other aspects, it's a lot looser, but coming in to post what stat you haven't yet reached is just fucking annoying.

It shows that you're excited by it and stuff.

It shows that people need to rethink posting habits.

Quit wasting all your time making 55 2 line posts and maybe you'll have some spare left over to actuall go and wacth some of the falsh ... you know, the reason this site exists?

i dont actually think i could agree more... too many people come here JUST for the BBS... that sucks.

o Don't be such elitists... >_< They can do what they want. If they just want to use the BBS, then fine, that's their choice.

It's not being elitist. It's being disgusted with eople who are ignoring the entire basis for a site's existece to go off and spam the forums associated with it. I'm not just referring to NG. I've seen it in a lot of other sites. There's always fuckups whose basis of interaction with a site is strictly their posting.

At 10/11/04 02:57 PM, jamboreen wrote: Are HT deposits where you loose exp?

The only way you can lose experience points is if the site admins manually take it away from you. When HT deposits, he raises the point requirements of each level from 10 to 30. That's why, if you stop depositing, you can lose an experience level or two.

Not a lot of stuff ... just a lot of the same stuff. I just figure with the volume of quotes we make, you at least get the cliff notes of what everyone else has to say.

It's not that you lose XP, per se. It's that you make a deposit of 10 XP, which gains you the level. HT deposits, which increases the level requirement past your total XP, which takes that level away. Next day, rinse repeat. At the higher levels this can go on for days due to the fact that when HT deposits, the level requirement increases 6+ experience.

Then he posts that hes nearing a new experience level, and you respond 'nicely' in comparison.

Though Im sure there are reasons (Level Up > Post Count, Regular > Non-Regular, Post Count = pointless), but it just struck me as somewhat 'odd' that youd respond so differently to two very similar posts.

While Im posting this, Ill just mention that I realised Im now in the top 150 B/Pers... (148 OMG!), Something not-too interesting, but Im making a post anyways, so deal with it! IM 148! SHUKIT TREBEK!

In the Bees case, he commented he was almost at 1337 posts when he was barely over 1300. People keep posting they are "approaching" something when they are well and clear away from it. They are useless and stupid posts and it's been a trend of late that I'm fed up with.

In the latter case you cited, Sentinel was 3 XP away from level. That's a whopping 2 days worth of HT increases that caused him to miss, plus he's well within 1 day of level up. I read that more as the standard aggravation at almost making it and replied in kind ... in this case "almost" was actually being almost.

Completeley absent in this "case" you are making is quoting my comments in response to EK. In one case (nearing a rank-up) I let it be, with the reasons (later mentioned) being that it incuded a great total on a day. In the second case (level) I nailed him for "almost" being several days off.

I'll still congratulate you on your argument. It's well founded in the basis of all position papers ... cite the facts that support your position and "accidentally neglect" those that don't. It should serve you well in your assignments at school =)

At 10/11/04 03:24 PM, j00bie wrote: stuff.. Post Count = pointless ...stuff

Off on a bit of a tangent....
I think that's the crux of the matter. To some people, posting is a means of communicating, and the actual number of posts they have is irrelevant. I couldn't care less whether I have 600 or 6000 posts. To others, postcount is quite an important stat to track. The funny thing is when someone like Lacie comes along, and all these people who've been keeping tight tabs on their postcounts suddenly start flaming her because she posts 50+ times a day. I personally think it's hilarious the way she deals with flamings, and so far I don't think any of her posts in Wi/Ht have been excessively spammy (although I haven't checked her posts elsewhere).
Slid off the point there a bit; what I mean to say is, importance of postcounts is strictly a matter of personal opinion.
