Thread has been moving slow, move it people, find a god damn topic and talk about it. Like for example, I want to ask everyone what their opinion would be if there was a donation system to B/P points people could freely use. Sure it could cause some unfair plays but that's happening anyway. I think it would be a nice system to run...Talk.
It's a nice idea, but I don't think it would work. B/P Points are points you acquire for taking the time to go through the portal and vote accordinly to your respectful opinion on the submission. Giving away B/P points as an award of some kind would be generous enough and would make a user thankful, but I believe that B/P points should not be given as gifts because they were purposefully implemented to convey your good citizenship of cleaning up the portal and your determination to keep doing so. And as other members have stated, the concept would be awfully abused. But it surely is a good idea but I don't think it would be executed very well if it were to be implemented.

Awesome- a laptop is the gateway to B/P success :). Don't think you'll be topping my pace anytime soon though :P
Laptops indeed are a magnificent gateway to B/P success. Unfortunately, I won't be getting one anytime soon. :(
Thanks- the sig makers did a good job, and the I've got google to thank for the profile pic. The next job is to change my profile message- I am giving it some thought :)
Bruute did an awesome job on your sig indeed. It is original and is interesting to look at. With that new sig and new profile picture and name, you look like a totally new person!
Nice- I'm less than 100 away from 24000 myself, so we'll have to see who gets to their respective goal first :)
Hmm, 100 B/P Points away from 24,000 B/P Points. I'm going to have my Congratulations ready for you when you do reach them. As for me, I am quite close to acquiring the next badge, which is Elite Guard Second Lieutenant. I am vaguely close to acquring 6,000 Saves as well, and 3,000 Experience Points too. Quite a lot of accomplishments but not as great as yours, which is 24,000 B/P Points, triple the amount I have. :)

Not to mention new ranks should be added to B/P, I haven't had a new rank in nearly 17 K points...
I undoubtfully agree with you. It seems ironic to me that it is virtually impossible to acquire Level 30 but although getting to Elite Guard Supreme Commander does take some time and work, it is much more easier to acquire. The irony I see in this is how B/Ping is such an self-awarding and honorable task and gathering experience points merely takes 5 minutes of your time. Of course, depositing your experience everyday can convey your determination on acquiring a new level, but there seems to be more levels than B/P badges, which I believe should be improved upon. Having more Badges would provide a greater excitement and challenge to us B/Pers and especially to the Elite Guard Supreme Commaders. I hope that when the new layout comes about, there will be new shiny badges waiting for EGSCs to acquire. :D

I have started to create a huge game for a school project this year.
That really sounds like a great game, Sterockicy. I can't wait to see it in the portal and to actually have the opportunity to play it. :) I have checked your other game, "Take Down", I believe it's called and it is great. You have some superb flash skills and nothing makes me more happy than to see you putting them to good use. Good luck with your game! :D

Sentio, since I have seen you have read many books and are quite familiar with them, I want to ask you if you have read the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I am currently reading this book in my english class and it is a magnificent book. It was originally written in Spanish but then was translated in English by Gregory Rebassa. It is a book that is based upon the theme of Magical Realism and is based upon the history of Columbia. If you haven't read it, I would definetly recommend it. Although I don't want to provide a summary of what it is about, because I would fear I would provide some spoilers, if you really are interested in it, try researching more about it. Sorry if I am wasting your time if you're reading this. I just thought you might be interested in the book. :)
I also have something else to say. I have noticed that Major-punk has been quite busy these past few days and hasn't been able to do a Barracks Roster Update recently. If there isn't any problem with him, I would like to nominate Homerdough as a temporary Barracks Records Officer for time being while Major-punk has once the time to make an update. Homerdough did a great job on the last update he made, and I believe he would be a great temporary Officer. I'm pretty sure Major-punk wouldn't mind, because if you would read his post upon the update Homerdough made, he stated it saved him a lot of work. Tell me what you guys think upon this.
