EXP - 12.4%
Blams - 46.7%
Saves - 15.5%
Posts - 28.7%
Reviews - 1.7% (I'm surprised it even passed 1% of my total stats O__o).

You should head over to the Barracks Forums (click on my sig pic) and sign up, if you haven't done so already...that way Chief Barracks Officer EagleRock can register you.
Good hunting, and welcome! :salute:

Thank you. I have joined the forums and made my post. Also that comment about me not seeing gold for a while. Not totally true.

Wait... So it this an alt? And if so why are you using it? You could have used the Better main account... Care to explain? And why do you B/P on an alt if it is an alt.

I just noticed your discharge from the NGPD, and I welcome you to the Barracks! Like the Recruitment Officer said, just sign up and I'll set your account up at the Barracks Forums.

No I was given the other account. The owner no longer wanted it. I decided not to join here with it because I didn't earn the rank myself.

kickme123, welcome to the barracks. I was the first one to point out that you would join us when you were 9 points away? How does it feel to see your stats falling from the highest to the lowest, lol! :) :D Ghost, you are certainly enjoying the b/p competition right now which is good. But hey, do not force yourself. I want to be the b/p king one day so that I said that I would try to set an almost unbreakable record of 250000 points. However, I do take a rest whenever I am tired. I b/p only when I feel like doing so. But still, I enjoy my steady pace and I am having lots of fun. Say that you get 100 points per day, that means that you will spend at least 7 hours in front of the computer. I will get a headache whenever I spend 3+ hours looking at the screen. The point is: b/p is fun and it is good to gain points, but do not force yourself or sacrifice any activities because of b/p. :)

Don't you find it motivating to be in such a close competition with some one? I sure do.

But hey, do not force yourself.

I never do, I just fell like B/Ping almost every time I'm on the computer.

I want to be the b/p king one day so that I said that I would try to set an almost unbreakable record of 250000 points.

I should slow down to 50 points a day at EGSC and stop around 40 K so that I can concentrate on flags and reviews.

However, I do take a rest whenever I am tired.

I "got it made" My pc is a mess of cables but is about 4 feet away from my bed so I rest and B/P all at the same time.

I b/p only when I feel like doing so.

Same here Major.

But still, I enjoy my steady pace and I am having lots of fun. Say that you get 100 points per day, that means that you will spend at least 7 hours in front of the computer

I usually spend around 9 hours.

I will get a headache whenever I spend 3+ hours looking at the screen. The point is: b/p is fun and it is good to gain points

My eyes aren't as sensitive as yours and I can easily spend a lot of time on the computer without any head aches or stuff like that. My problem is I have low blood pressure which means 2 things: technically much better longevity than most people ( What am I roach? I don't wanna outlive every one ) and complete lack of control of sleeping habits, when I'm tired I can fall asleep standing because my body just won't take no for an answer... I can drink booze or coffee or whatever but if I'm tried, bang, snore, end deal.

but do not force yourself or sacrifice any activities because of b/p. :)

I'm not much of a people person in real life any way so I don't have that many things planned for the future though my B/P pace will drop because I'm trying to get a decent job... B/P or money.... A hard one but I'll take money... $_$

Sorry for the long post but I can’t answer all in one bunch as only our Major can.

Too bad amplefied didn't want to be on NG anymore, but it was very generous of him to give away his account to someone. So congrats on getting that level 16 now. *is quite jealous that you have a high level account*

I'm aware I've probably said this before, but you're crazy! Seriously, 250000 B/P points is over twice as much as MPA has. It's only a goal, but it's still extremely crazy. However, I must be crazier since the most B/P points I want is 700000 blams, 77777 saves to make it 777777 B/P! :D

Whistling for hateful is only valid if the hatred is towers other authors. So far regular NG members don't count, unless those two were authors of flash in which case you can.

Interesting...so how do you do the ranking? How did you get 9/10 for me?

It's based on how low your exp ranking is, but ofcourse this is seriously flawed because for example all someone has to do is quit depositing and they'll be ranked a 10 in no time.

00% to 07% =10
07% to 10% = 9
10% to 15% = 8
15% to 20% = 7

He mucked up the review percent, sir, it should be 2.06%. Plus his figures aren't accurate due to the rounding so it doesn't add up to exactly 100, sir.

You answered that for me absolutely perfectly. Thanks.

My highschool has one of those...kinda, but it's just a desk on wheels that rolls over to the stationary bikes so my gym teacher can do whatever while on the bikes.

I've never tried it but I'm curious, if it's the same.

A part of me wishes I were like that.
See I have alot of difficulty actually falling asleep. Since I was about 10, it normally takes me 2-3 hours to fall asleep and then I often wake up more then once during the night.
I can't force myself to sleep because it's like the harder I try the more I'm thinking and it's just frustrating.

Just before you fall asleep the persons mind goes totally blank and then they drift off into sleep. Well as soon as I notice I'm starting to fall asleep I start thinking (hey i'm falling asleep!) and I snap out of it. It's a repeating cycle that goes on for hours.

Someone should really make a calculator prgram that will do this hehe. I dont know anything about making programs though, may give it a try in flash.

I feel like I have been getting a lot more active now, and it feels good. Oh yeah haha.

That happens to me whenever I try to go to sleep when I'm not tired enough. I have to be at a certain level of exhaustion to fall asleep for the night... The last time I slept over 8 hours on a school night was 5 years ago. If you can count till 1000 slowly in your head while at bed then you really can't sleep well... I tried on several occasions and around 300 I realized I had better things to think of but if I hadn't and stuck to counting it would have reached around 900. I just think about stuff I wish I had ( in fantasies I'm a detail fanatic ) so making up stuff to think about is easy... Read a good book, I hear Dan Brown is popular this time of year.

I can't take my eyes off it. I don't know if it's because it's new, or because its so damn big.
I liked the old slogan better though.

I have to agree when you first see it, its really shocking.
