I've reached the halfway point! 2675! Now I have to get 100 more.... And then 15 after that.. This is going to be difficult...

Oh shit, now I have another problem... My little brother, princeofdeath, is on the other computer trying to steal my B/Ps. Fortunately I'm faster than him and am a better judge of crap and non-crap, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem... I hope...

Here goes the final stretch... I have 5 hours... shit.

Oh snap! I thought you needed 1000 more to get to seargent. heh, this will be easier than i thought.

Nah, that'll be sometime next Monday or Teusday.
For now I'm tryin to make a B/P record. Probably not gonna happen at this point, but I'll try.

my question was never really answered. do we blam or protect clock stuff on clock day? (i have never been on ng on one before).

I dont know. I wasnt here last time. I think they mostly get protected

I'm back after... something. I don't know but I haven't been able to post often so here it is.

B/P- mid 50's very average

Couple submission flags and 34 review flags

Track has been very exciting as far as...running. Cold but we get to run into dunkin donuts for a coffee so theres the flip side. Good to see everyone. Hope everyone's makin awesome progress. Happy hunting everyone.

well, as someone who partook in the little blamfest on the 300000 submission, I'm guessing that blamming will do you a LOT of good.

DEFCON Update:

Still DEFCON 3. It's still going.

this whole time I thought it was russian, but it's actually American! sweet!

The only thing that is Russian about the Elite Guard ranking system is the name "Praporshchik," which to my recollection is a Russian rank for "top warrant officer" or something similar. It is used to replace Warrant Officer in the US ranking system, though, so naturally it is based on the US Army ranks.

Also, for some more trivia, the gold and silver ranks are reversed. For instance, Major is really the gold leaf while the Lieutenant Colonel rank has the silver leaf. Basically, Tom and the bunch switched gold with silver in the ranks.

This is the real one by Denvish but for some reason it just totally flipped now. Backwards ass calculator. I hope he fixes it.

Yeah, that is Denvish's website (www.planetbob.net). That's strange, though...the algorithm might have gotten messed up or his feed to NG's rankings might have gotten cut off or something.

------------------------
Anyway, something that was supposed to take "the afternoon" ended up taking almost 7 hours, so I just got home. I definately won't make my quota today, and I'm basically screwed in keeping up with everyone. Horrible day.

are you sure, clock movies almost ALWAYS pass because of mass voting. (not to say they are even good).

I've blammed more CC,LL, and GG movies than I've saved them. I love them, but most of them are crappy Clock Crew posers. It's done me WAY more good than bad, but that's just me. We're just gonna have to wait till it actually happens.

What we should REALLY be concerning ourselves with is Pico Day, which is almost a month away.

Pico Day will hopefully be a good source of protects, although we should all keep an eye out for losers with their crappy movies, lol.
Ugh I'm soooo close to rank up, but the portal's stalling...
Haha, someone submitted a flash with their comments being "here's something I found while surfing the net." Not the brightest bulb in the tool shed, huh? XD

yeah, lol, I saw that.
I ALSO saw someone submit The Ultimate Showdown with mustaches on every1's face.... I whistled it early, lol.

Attention soldiers...I have...tragic news. First Lieutenant Slash Firestorm was killed in action, by a team of elite female stripper assassins, who exhausted him to death. While we mourn his loss, we can take comfort in the knowledge that...it's what he wanted.
Oh yeah, and welcome Elite Guard Captain Slash to the Barracks. Hooray! ^_^

I don't understand, how could your little brother effect you b/ping since he uses another computer? I am the one who need to share my laptop once for a while. :P By the way, there were a bunch of "close calls" (their scores are between 1.40 to 1.70) a few hours ago, how did you do?

Thank you, ma'am. I might beat ya to Supreme Commander, but you've got all of us beat in terms of whistling, Flagging Princess, lol. I need to think of a clever name for myself sometime. One that emphasizes my incredible speed...hehe.
:salute:

does anyone actually know what day pico day is. i need to know so i can make plans to stay home that day.

It is the first of May. I stronly recomand you going to school. There are a lot of Pico related flashes on that day, but it does not mean that the portal will be active.

no im saying if its a weekend ill plan to not go anywhere, i wouldn't miss school for it O_o. thanks for the info.

Pico day is your good opportunity to balance your b/p. There are lots of quality flashes on that day and entries normally get through on that day partly because of mass voting. I picked up over 60 protection points with only 20+ blam points last year on Pico Day.

Because he shares a similar IP address. When he blams, it seems like I'm blamming it.

Blammed 'em with gunpoint accuracy :)

so far, I've made 134 B/Ps. Nope. don't think I'll make 200 at 12:00. Oh well. I'll try again some other time.. Tomorrow if I wake up early enough I guess...
(sigh) failure.... oh well. I'm making up for a bad week at least :)

woohoo! i made around 120 points today. that is a big accomplishment for me. now ima go to bed cuz i had to wake up at 8 this morning.

Day's end report:

Saturday didn't disappoint, as I netted 158 points, more than enough to reach Elite Guard Captain. Let's see if I can't get 1500 points in 10 days, hehe, and reach Major.
Lots of UJ flash in the line still, so points will trickle in for a bit. Good hunting, everyone! :salute:

lol, I'm gonna beat u by the end of 12:00... Hoping for at least 160+. Lol oh the wonders that you can accomplish when you don't have anything to do :D

DEFCON Update:

Still DEFCON 3...

Well, today was pitiful...so pitiful I'll just cut it off at midnight and start anew today. I only netted 50 points. This has to be the lowest day I've had in months. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day. We'll see what happens then...

It's also a Sunday. I dont think it gets all that busy on Sunday...

BP is very little this weekend, as I have 2 essays to write (and 2 to put off for later), and they take priority

Well, just so ya know, I always start and end my point counts at midnight Newgrounds time (EST). For example, all the flash currently UJ will count for Sunday's gain for me, not Saturday's, even though I voted on most of them Saturday. Make sure ya factor that into it, hehe.
Once you get into the top 300, you'll see the crazy competition at the top, lol. Denvish has had much more insane gains than me, lol.
As for my nickname, I dunno. I ain't changing my alias anytime soon, lol. Blamming Lightning is one I came up with a while ago...I think that'll be it for a while.
