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.

Are HT deposits where you loose exp? THAT must really suck and congrats to all Who lvl up and rank up and good luck for those who are close to lvl/rank up

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.

What proof? He said he was including the guys. I merely asked about the people he's leaving out with that statement in a way that included me. Note that I did not ask, "what about the girls?" Technically I'm a "non-guy" and a "non-girl." You need to look more deeply into my comments grasshoppa ...

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.

So he says hes nearing a post count milestone, you go all crazily angry.

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.

I don't intentionally skip you, but your last post was you saying that you're almost to a certain milestone. We had a nearly 3 page talk on how we don't like when people tell us they almost rank/level/anything up. I even made a joke post about it earlier about the amount of people (mainly newcomers) doing so. Your last post tells me you don't read the lounge and merely pop in to post whatever you have previously decided to post. This is a place for rank/level/etc ups and for Wi/Ht? members and lounge regulars to converse.

Awhile ago I thought I had a chance, but now I'm pretty sure I started with too much ground to make up. I do have a considerable higher b/p per day, but he still has a considerable lead on me. Now that he broke 29,000 and needs less than 1,000 to reach it I don't think I can snag my 2,100 some odd points I need by then. We'll see though I guess.
Yeah, I'm going to make it well before Christmas. Hell, I have a small chance of making it exactly on Halloween, which would be pretty neat.

Ok, I'm taking a few hours of from posting and clearing my brain. I've made too many mistakes today already. I need 3,100+ and have no chance of making it by Halloween. I'll probably get it in the second week of November.

There's also the fact that people get more motivated as they near a goal. lee had been muddling along at 20-40/day for some time, but his pace has been increasing as he gets closer to SC. You'll likely be around 28k (give or take a couple hundred) when he makes it.

I need 3,100+ and have no chance of making it by Halloween. I'll probably get it in the second week of November.

MPA as SC is a scary enough thought ... doing it on Halloween was going to be overkill ;)

There have been a few comments like this that i have seen posted around. Since mid October, i have been keeping progress of MPA's b/p gains in order to see if he could catch me and to see his averages. At that time, i calculated a few averages and figures and pretty much knew that MPA wouldn't catch me. Sure, he's going over twice as fast as i am, but the gap was always too big. Maybe if he'd started earlier then he'd pip me to EGSC.

I've calculated using my average of abput 50 points, that it should take me about 20 days to get to EGSC. For MPA to beat me, he'd have to average about 165 or so - pretty much an impossible task even for a b/ping machine like MPA.
