Well, that I must certainly must agree on, Captain, sir. I know it has sped up recently, but I have been busy during the active times due to activites that I was required to attend to over the weekend. Maybe I'll be able to catch up and get a good 130-140 B/P day. I have a training seminar tonight, but knowing my usual classes, that should be B/P reaping time for me.

Talking about being occupied with other activities when the portal is active, I have a very similar experience with you, sir! I was in an international student's meeting for 2-4 yesterday and I was asked to host a small "IQ competition" by the international director since I am the President of the international students from 8 to 10. I did not find any time to b/p until late in the night. Today's situation will be similar, I will have to write a long paper for my Italian class and the due day is tomorrow. But I will probably get some time after 11 if my gf does not need my laptop. What irrates me is that I have been No.143 for a time time and I am burning now for a rank-up. :P

IQ Competition, sir? How does that work? Does everyone take IQ tests and the person with the highest IQ wins?

I can understand that, sir. Yesterday was particularly bad as I could barely be near a computer for almost 6 hours. This was from 1PM-7PM, too, when the Portal is very busy. I missed a great deal that day. :-)

Good luck with your ranking, sir. Also, I'm sure your superiors will consider you for a Major position soon enough!

Sorry about not finishing a list O=X. I got kind of busy yesterday, so I should be able to have one up by the end of today or tomorrow. Im not positive but if I am busy I will probably have to finish it on Wednesday. My Tuesdays are usually busy and Im not sure what I will be doing tonight.

Attention, soldiers!

Perhaps others have already noticed this, but there is a new group around called the CIA headquarters. I am wondering what this club is intending to do. Does someone want to do some investigation, perhaps our Intel Ops officer?

They posted in the NGPD and included a long-winded thing about their mission and objectives. Page 66, 10th post from the top (you'll know the one).

Personally, I'm thinking it might be another rip off of NGPD and EGB.

it's a shame tomorrow is Monday, and likely points will drop significantly.

Mondays always suck regardless of the amount of submissions. But Jan 23rd is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year. I guess thats two reasons to not look forward to today.

But I'm getting used to doing these nice 125+ hauls...it's so awesome to have no life like me. In that sad, sad kind of way...lol

I dont think ive ever had a 125+ in a single day. Mainly because I wake up at noon on weekends. : /

It would be nice if you could like withdraw your vote and change it just incase of such a situaition. But that will get incredibly complicated with abuse and updating the faq and multiple users wont understand it etc... just more problems then it would solve I guess.

The newer one reflects the Barracks more accuratly I think, but the sizes still need some tinkering. Hopefully it'll be ready soon.

Honestly, I don't see the club lasting long. Wylo has already criticized the club, and the founder hasn't even bothered to respond. The club seems to be a club just for the sake of being a club. There is no sound purpose for the club, not even a plan on what to talk about...

Well, according to a post in the NGPD forums, Mutant_Busterjr is head of the CIA group temporarily. I'm not sure what to make of that. I hope it wont be spam related, for his sake.
