Hell no. Everybody has their own crazy expectations about the amount of B/P that they'll have before they retire. Denvish had 100k, the rest of the cats in the top 50... There's no telling when and if they'll stop.

I remember when I first came to Newgrounds and joined into the b/ping crowd I had an incredibley stubborn goal of passing ramagi back last summer when she had ~70k. Despite her gaining twice as much everyday I was convinced that I would do it eventually.

Then after a few months I realized that my only chance was if she retired (soon) and I continued to b/p for quite a few years. I actually thought she did retire cause it took her almost a month to go from 75,000 to 75,010. But no shes was just "sleeping". =/

Anyway, I don't really have any retirement goals right now. But I sure would be a happy camper if I could live this old one out. ^_^

Sorry for being so inactive in the begining of November.

Being away for so long wthout any notice got you kicked off the active members list. But oh well, nothing permanent, I'll just add you back on now.

Actually since we have had a few new members join in the last couple days expect a new update sometime this week. The last one was Nov 29th, if any of the new guys would like to have a peak.

--------
Passed 35k today.

Many of you guys here are way, and I mean WAY above my B/P rank. It would take me years to reach you guys. And by the time I do, you'll guys'll probably have more than 100,000 points by then... Oh, and what goals do you guys have for the end of the year? Such as, what number of points do you guys want to have by 2007? I'm hoping, HOPING to get a total of 3,500 protection points and a total of 2,500 blam points by the end of this month.

That seems like a reasonable goal. You should be able to accomplish that no problem. My own personal goals are to reach EGLtCol by the 7th then I'll be gone till around Febuary. My wife is going to deposit for me while I'm gone (hopefully). I also asked her to b/p for me but I doubt she'll get into it very much. It would be cool to come back and log in as a Colonel or Brigadier General, but I'll be happy if it's only 10 a day. We'll see how that goes.

As far as your b/p goals go they seem pretty reasonable. I didn't start getting into b/p until about 6 months ago and look how far I've gotten already. Take into consideration that I work, go to college, and am flying to get my private pilots license. I keep pretty busy but still manage to get a lot of b/ping done. 2000-3000 points a month is doable and you've got less than a thousand to go. I think you'll make your goal.

Good luck!

...lol at MP's goal of passing Ramagi!! :D
..maybe in 5 years ..if she ever stops.

Yo sorry for not posting much still behind in school and the last thing I need to do is get kicked out for not having 2 classes done by each quarter so I am hurrying up on this, I doub ti'll be posting much in general for a while (added onto the time I havn't posted on for a while) so i'll be back whenever.

Hey, i'm a NGPD Captain that just turned into a Elite guard. I was hoping i could join up with you guys. Are there any requirements i need to meet (other than the obvious 1500 B/P)?

I understand how school can be a pain in the ass but try and be as active as possible. You have really slipped behind the time you have been gone. I wish you luck on all of your school work and all of that crap.

Thanks for the praise guys n_n.

And yeah, hopefully I should get EGSS within two weeks, but I have a whole load of essays to do =/. Damn, I hate school.

Aside from ranks, it seems I have a battle going on with darwin45! Last week he was about 300 points away from me, and I have reduced that to a measly 26 points. Watch out darwin, I'll catch you by tonight ;).

Oooh, a who's week is crappier contest. This I love. 4 exams a week, English, Math and everything else you can think off, including pop quizzes. A test tomorrow, which I'm not sure what it's about, a long ass trip to some desolate desert on Wednesday which means I won't be seeing my shrink this week since she's only available on Wednesdays, and I'll miss a full day of B/P, even though I'll have power.

Wanna beat that?

As for having your power out for all day on tuesday, i have to say that blows pretty bad.

As for having a bunch of tests, every school and college in america is having tests right now. Everyone has to go through finals this week.

We'll I'm not going to get into a pissing contest about who's week is crappiest but I will say that this upcoming week will be one of my busiest and hardest weeks to get through. All I can say is that as you get older it only gets better.

lol, please note the sarcasm.

Congratulations to Sterockicy on getting the EG Corporal badge! One of my favorites.

Congratulations to Dela on EG Sergeant! Good work!

Yes, I wanna beat that! 5 exams, 2 presentations, one being 15 minutes long, which I haven't even prepared for, and one essay. No trips for me though! Oh, and one more thing, School sucks. (By the way, I made a new sig, what do you guys think about it?)

I was not asking for a contest, just informing how some people have a good chance on passing me up. I have a lot of tests this week as well, plus a project due and I'm starting a whole bunch of homework. I see my shrink once every other friday and this is the friday. I'm going to see a Christmas Carol on thursday for some reason also. I have a pretty bad week too.

I wish I could pass you! Unfortunately you are something like 4000 points in front of me so I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen anytime soon.

As for us people with the hard week coming up (myself included) a little advice seems like it could help. This is what I do. Shut up, quit your bitching, take care of your shit, and do the best you can do! :O This goes out to no one in particular and everyone who needs it.

It's also not meant to be taken offensively so hopefully none is taken.

He has a busy job and wife now, so that leaves him little time for NG, even less for us. But in case you were wondering, for whenever he isn't around every question, suggestion, whatever goes to me.

I agree. Way back in 2005, the majority of flashes under judgement were pure crap. But now, there seems to be more quality ones than crappy ones. That's why I have more saves than blams, currently.
