FINALLY, 7000 b/p points and a voting power of 7.14!!!

Grats =)

Thanks!

Next objective: 6000 blams or 2000 saves.... I don't which I will get first but it won't happen until the end of october.

Or both ... which equals next rank-up ;) Good luck.

It won't happen. I will probably get more blams first but it will be very close to 2000 saves.

Too bad that blammer thread got deleted. I had just tracked down the PID for ceagle and was trying to post it. yadjmir didn't believe you could get smacked down for being a nit and ceagle is now my permanent example lol

Yeah, I noticed it too... I was trying to reply to your post but... making that reply was a waste :(.

Just make a note of the last 2 or 3 digits of the PID assigned to the last flash upon which you voted. When you come back, check it against the first of the UJs on which you have not yet voted to see how many you've missed.

ahh yes, thank you for that. very helpfull.... its strange, why i never thought of doin that.

It's part of why I'm still up. Redid the speedies mini from what I needed for this morning to what I need for the upcoming week. At the recalc in ~half an hour I can do a mini that makes a bit more sense. I just hope Sunday is as good as Saturday for entries =)

hmm, yeh too bad for me. a Sunday afternoon-night for America is a Monday morning-afternoon for me... and thats when im at school, damnit!! hahah.
well, i think that i've goten a lot of b/p points over the past two days, im happy with myself.

Because all the cells are keyed to each other, copying them out o make the spread for the mini is more trouble than it's worth, so I have to do a lot of it manually. Since that's the case, I only use the people who got 40+/day during the preceding update. Since they were 40+, they ended up having their stats in bllue, green, gold, orange, or red, instead of basic beige aka: coloured.

In your version of events, it would just be that you sucked during the last update ;)

Anywho, I won't be doing a "real" mini until Tuesday or Wednesday to split the week up. In the meantime, our great Saturday of submissions resulted in:

** grumble ** Thanks again D0GMA. Don't send any more sunshine my way for awhile okay? If things get much better than this I might start to cry. I also appreciate the time you took to calculate up to the 26th person. What's the consolation prize, a kick in the nuts? Why do I suddenly feel like I'm the last person being picked for a team?

I did all 45 of the coloureds from the update. I was going to cut it off somewhere in the high 90s, but you had brought it up so I just went down another five to include you.

If you owned a computer, you'd have had access to the gluts of submissions we had during the day. Stop being so gloomy about it and selling yourself short. You weren't even on for half the day, and you were on during the slow half of it at that, and still cranked out 81. NG doesn't give bonus modifiers for overcoming difficulties, but we know.

Well I could congratulate QFox for 10,000 blams, j00bie for rank up and 2k saves and 6k blams, and Ek for a rank up as well, but just this once, next time one of you should have a screenie (and I mean a proper screenie, off by one doesn't count) or you will get nothing from me.

Same here, and the one day (yesterday) when the portal is on fire, i happen to be out playing football, ill put it down to time difference as well, **shakes fist**
---
Still pissed off about yesterdays lightning like portal, and me missing out on the action, but it seems like its going fairly quickly today too = ) well atleast xmas is coming,

Well, I just wanted to say hello to everyone who I wouldn't see today because of work. I hope everyone gets their blam and save points up real high ^_^

I thought I would share www.retrojunk.com with everyone. Seems that the audience that would most appreciate this site would be 18 - 30 years old, probably live in America, and maybe watched TV in the 80's lol. That site brought back some very fond memories!

I don't know about you all, but I just got reminded of a movie called "The Wizard" starring Fred Savage (early "Wonder Years" era) that I had TOTALLY forgotten about until today...Anyway, it was about a kid that was a master at video games and he ended up playing Super Mario Bro's 3 in a National Championship in California. Talk about plugging a video game in a movie!!! After I watched that movie (which I remember fondly as being the sole reason I was SO excited about SMB3), I bugged my Dad enough into buying it the day it came out (which wasn't hard since he was a big-time fan of the Super Mario series almost as much as I was).

Flashback city I tell ya! I just want to say that I am very glad I was born in '81. The 80's were such a fun and exciting time. No other time like it, I tell ya...but then how could I know? lol

Well, have a good day everyone ^_^

Thanks for the memorys RC, did you check out the mario bros 3 video, that as amazing! that game will never grow old.
The movie secton pwned too, with stuff like: ferris buellers day off, bill and ted's exellent adventure, topgun the list goes on! i almost forgot Weird Science!!
And all those cartoons i watched as a youngen, snorks, inspector gadget and TMNT,
Im only 19 ( British as well ) and this bout back many memorys, im sure ReconR will enjoy this insight to the past, being of an older generation.
Anyway i'v rambled on too much already, thanks RC.

yah-huh! since the end of friday (it is currently the end of Sunday for me, nearly Monday), i've gained 131 b/p points. and i currently have 8 subs UJ in the portal i've voted on. so its been real nice to have a fast, steady portal... v good.

Well, have a good day everyone ^_^

goonight! hahah.
this should most probably be my last post of the day. im heading off to the land of nod.

Nice list, gives a good feeling knowing yesterday has given us many points and a bad feeling of missing out on points because of time zones and sleeping in.

The flip side is that it's just one day. It put a lot of people in good shap for the rest of the week, but how they/we follow up on it is what matters.

The trouble for me is, it's just like the "oldies" stations these days. Unless it suddenly became a fad for no apparent reason, none of the stuff I was into gets played. E.G.: A lot of you might remember when ska suddenly became popular in the late '90s for all of a year and then was declared dead. Like no one had been listening to it for the preceding 45 years and none of them listened to it afterwards.

Like oldies stations, all that site does is bring back context ... and which particular way we were making fun of the people who were riding the fads.

Exciting yes, fun no. This is the first place in my life I've lived more than 3 miles from a ground zero target. You were too young to understand just how close Reagan kept pushing us to WWIII. He gambled with the lives of every person on this planet and, because he happened to win and finally got the fuck off this rock, somehow he's suddenly "great."

The review mods can see the amount of affect a person has when whistling a review. That's as close as anyone has to numbers.

Like XP it's a dynamic system. Joe got an insane amount of WP while he was still working to maintain deity ... and ramagi passed him. Best guess is you'll need something between 50% and 75% of that current highest total to get gold.

Thanks for all the congrats peoples.
And nice lookin list you got there D0GMA, I would have had more as well but I missed about 15 UJs today (I saw 5 through judgment when I got back from AFK, so Im making an assumption). Assuming I get most of them correctly, I would have beaten you!

So at least I now know how long you stay on this 'game' per day to get such a high 'PPD', you must just have alot of days w/o school/work/whatever you do.

I now understand that me getting that high PPD is uncontrollable, unless I start skipping school, which I obviously dont plan to do.

During my Rank up and my 2K Saves, When I went to bed I had 5998 Blams, I now have 6002. Therefore, I hit 6K Blams in my sleep. Coolies!

hmm, no one actually knows how many whistle points an individual HAS... maybe the mods and admins do, but not us regular users. i think that if the admins wanted people flagging reviews more readily, they should put visible whistle points in out profiles... that would be good.

Well, I made 105 b/p yesterday, now I aim approximatly same thing...

thats a nice number. the most b/p points i've ever gotten in one day was 96, damn that was nice.
well, today i've gotten around 90 B/P points, i think... so im going very strong.
but eh, 3 minutes till monday, that means 9 hours till school... that means no more b/p! hahah.
ok... i really think i should head off now.
catcha later, everyone.

I'm pretty busy this week, I'll try to squeeze one in, but I can't guarantee anything at the moment I'm afraid. If I do one, it'll be Wednesday morning or Thursday (my time).

Speaking of whistle levels and how review mods can work out their whistle power, one other thing we can do is see which reviews have the most abusive marks on them in a big list. In theory this works fine - people flag stuff, it goes up the list and is brought to our attention, and we can ban as necessary. In practice, it highlights fucktards who take it upon themselves to get all their friends to mass mark reviews on their movies which aren't complimentary, regardless of whether they're abusive or not, and leaving (at least) me wondering how the dickhead still has his account. Current review and posting bans for the person in question is just supplementary evidence.

I'm sure I'm one of those "fucktards" but it isn't really my fault. The latest shit going on with this is an auto-voter. Someone has been submitting flash that cause us to vote "abusive" on someone else's review. It was the same review the first few times, but I think they've change it over to something else now. I've flagged at least 15 of those flash now. The twit just keeps creating new accounts and submitting it.

Yeah, I've been sending details of the usernames/Flash/reviews autovoted upon to liljim, but had no reply as yet. I did track one of them down to a few posts on General, by a level 9 user, but (assuming he's the main criminal, and I could well be wrong) he has several alts, and I think he's probably on dynamic IP, so I would imagine doing anything about him would be difficult.
Hopefully he'll get fed up of having to get new emails to create his alts, and stop submitting those damn things.
