Sweet jesus. Nice find.

On other gossip, I just came onto NG and I freaking LOVE the changes. I just hope Wade would hurry with them stickers. It's been over 6 weeks now.

Oh my... That is crazy, 70+ marks? Haha.

Nice find, nice find...

I am going to be working on a member list tomorrow everyone (_)=D; I cant guarantee it will be done tomorrow but either tomorrow or the next day if I have a lot of free time.

I am pumped for it!

My little gift to all our awesome members. Happy Valentines everyone. Share the love.

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

Great, Bahamut-, we will see who stops first. Maybe the guy who lives longer will be the b/p king. :P www.deathclock.com is an interesting site where it can calculate how long you can live. The system told me that I will be among the livings until 85, so hopefully, you will also live long enough so that we can compete. XD

Sorry fellow Barracks.
Rough week

Well, on friday, a BIG F****** truck hit my power cord, so I couldn't acess the internet or watch TV. So we called them, and the TV was up. I thought the internet might be up too, because their both powered by optimum. Well, I using AOL, and it's hella slow, so I might not be preforming as much. I already missed 4 days of B/Ping and depositing points.

Once again, Major_punk, it is a nice way to caculas. However, what if a user stops depositing and focuses on his other stats? A level 1 user COULD have 30 exp points, 1 post, 0 review, 10000 b/p points if he never deposits. According to your way of calculating, he will score a 10 although he does not have the fastest pace. My question is: is there another to calculate this?

Sorry for being away, but I was busy again. Plus, I've been dealing with the whole Alliance thing and talking to people about the situation. I'll be addressing the NGPD in the near future about the matter and developments.

DEFCON Update:

Today's just been crazy, so I haven't been able to get to the DEFCON. I currently have it at DEFCON 3, even though it might go higher if the submissions keep coming. Today has been crazy!

Also, I'd like to add that I've been given another promotion by my superiors...I am now Captain EagleRock! Captain was the rank I was waiting for since a while, so I'm very pleased! Ever do I serve my Portal honorably!

At 2/14/06 04:38 PM, Major_punk wrote: 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.

Of course. I like the system though, as most people that care about NG wouldn't be willing to forego XP for a benchmark like this...

~X~

Hopefully I can see that symbol here more often. Sir.

I agree with that, First Lieutenant. We miss you here in the Barracks!

Since theres some interest present I might aswell post this:

Note: I'm only tallying users who posted their stats
Note: This doesn't mean anything real

Rank|Score|Exp percent|Name

01) : 9 : : 09.9% EagleRock

I like it, though! I guess my B/P rate serves me well for this purpose...if only I can get to 10 points...

I love it. I was like "WTF" when I first saw it, but omg...it's sexy. ^_^
And so...orange!

I like it a lot, actually. I think it's the best look for Newgrounds yet. Came in class, too, when I was refreshing to check the Portal. I was like...woah.

I downloaded Firefox, after EagleRock recommended it to me...sexy. Much sexier than dumb aol explorer, and ten times sexier than Internet Explorer. On page seven of the New Header post is a bunch of links to put in adblock...I stuck them in and wow! So much crap is gone! Plus I downloaded the "redshift" theme...internets heaven. :-P
Firefox, will you be my valentine?

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.

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.

You got to be kidding me, even I sometimes catch a lucky break and fall asleep in the first 1/2 hour and get a good nights sleep, but thats rare for me. I think I can assume you get alot more on weekends though etc.

On average I get about 5-6 hours of sleep on school nights and 12 hours on weekends if there no need for waking up.
If it wasn't for the weekend I'd probibly be dead. =P

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

Me to, except I tried the old imagineing sheep jumping over a fence and counting them as the jump. heh.

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...

I've done that, but that doesn't cause me to doze off, I never slip out of consciousness... just normal thinking as if it were in the middle of the afternoon.

Read a good book,

I've tried that to get my mind rolling yet no success, I've tried the T.V, music (on softly) but in the end it just distracts me.

I hear Dan Brown is popular this time of year.

Never heard of him. I doubt I'll be buying any books anyway.

Great to hear. If you want I can supply you with all the current active members, so you won't have to go through all the pages since your last update (pg 113) to find the new joiners.

Reply on EGB forums PM.

I am pumped for it!

Dude that fucking sucks, hopefully it wasnt too bad.
Is it back on now or are you on a public computer?

so I might not be preforming as much. I already missed 4 days of B/Ping and depositing points.

Your most definately excused sir.
This may seem odd to you since we really don't know each other too much, but if your still without power at your house I can deposit for you if you wish.

I have a few designated depositers myself and it's a big stress relief, Luckily I have never had to use any except Afro_stud back in October, but it's always nice to know theres people to back you up, just for those freak accidents.

Exactly, that's why that "scale" is so flawed. But I find it as a nice thing to have to keep personally, to find your own strengths and weaknesses if your into stats like that.

My question is: is there another to calculate this?

You mean like another way to measure how active a user is? Probibly but I'm unaware of it. I'll try to think of something though.

Haha...actually a friend of mine uses the alias EagleEye...

As far as tracking people, it's not hard if the circumstances are right. I've been doing system administration for almost 6 years now, so it's easy for me to find my way around the Internet.

V-Day Day's End Report:
A solid 80 b/p points for not being home much. It's alot better than this past week with under 50 almost ever day even on the weekend. Very depressing but thanks to today im back on track. Welcome to all the new members today and congrats again EagleRock. Congrat to K-Pingu on the voting power update. Keep protecting the portal everyone. :salute:

About the Mutant issue, I posted a solution at NGPD, I hope that you guys can take it as consideration. :) LittleWashu, isn't annoying that an obvious resumbittion got blammed before flagged? But I have my faith on you, and I am sure that it is just a matter of time for you to get the gold whistle. I personally prefer flagging submissions that break the rules. But it takes a long while for Wade to clean the mess. But hopefully, I will have a silver whistle soon. PS: I cannot wait to rank up to EGP and join you so that you won't be the on;y girl here. ;)

DEFCON Update:

The Portal is slowing down a bit, but not by much. I'm keeping the DEFCON at DEFCON 3 until tomorrow.

Blast! I hate the fact you are gaining on me that quickly... the only way to beat you is coffee and sunrise to sunset B/P work...By Major rank you might pass me... I blame our education system, for making us learn useless garbage 6 days a week... and my lack f control over sleep...I shall not allow it, honor! I must B/P till my finger snaps of clicking...

what you reckon that we'll all still be on ng when we're 85????

God i hope not *g*
