Again, it be fine.

As for me... nowhere to go but down, of course, being at #1, so I can no longer enjoy the climb in here. Ah well. That's the reason I stopped doing the list, after all. No more passion for the mountain once you're at the top and just sitting there forever. #;-}>

But of course the rankup list always lags a bit behind the blamlist's rankup list. Except for one time, I believe, when an exception occurred.

10,000 Saves

Yep, so we've been over in level up!... congrats again, though.

Only 3 rankups from C&D, eh? Shouldn't be surprising, considering 2/3 of C is inactive, and most of D is slow moving.

It's taken quite a long time for pages to go by in here and in the blam one as well in the past, jon... maybe not quite THAT long for one page, but there were times when my updates were far enough apart that both topics would die (or at least one would) for quite a long period of time.

And hey, that's not to mention ramagi's exp list topic. That can take even LONGER than two months to fill a page, and I believe it has...

oh, and if you count NGling's old VP FAQ/list thread that I use to notify General of VP list updates as a "stat topic," that one's been on the same page for half a year now.

You bastard! And that's despite the change in colouration policy, too.

I was soooo very close to hitting 30 and getting gold on A/B of this list this update. Oh wells. ;_;

Thanks much =)

~shrug~ it's the same slow-down that the EGRL thread has experienced since I moved it off to the website. Not a huge issue ... now that I have the threads bookmarked ;)

You and I both =) Part of my target this update was to see if I could maintain gold on Saves. No one had made the cut last update, so I was concerned about keeping it there. With us and SevenStar all making gold, I think that puts that question to rest.

Thanks again for all the updates (forgot to mention it in my egrl reply), they are appreciated.

No worries.

I'm cutting it a little too close for comfort with my saves, averaging just 2 more than needed for gold. It's still enough though and am satisfied with my 3XG.

Four people on NG = four accounts. I use the terms interchangeably, usually.

Hello I think i will be only wanting to protect movies.

Good luck on your mission ;-) BTW, consider changing your aura color to light (it would match your disposition). To do this, click the Sign In! button at the top-right corner of the Newgrounds website. In the Grounds Gold Menu window, click the Public Profile link. Scroll down to Aura, and select the Aura of your choice.

You obviously havn't seen the crap that gets submitted to the portal. I have seen lots of stuff submitted to the portal that took no work at all.

You'll be following in the fine tradition of those such as...

Toocool100, the ultimate saviour... with 14000+ saves and only 88 blams (all from over a year ago).

asdfsdfg, a funny BBS user who just happens to love saving movies much more than blamming 'em.

SantoNinoDeCebu, a passionate saviour, who's responsible for the save% list existing at Dogma's site.

Afterburner, yet another >100% save-to-blam% guy, though not quite as much as the other three.

I just cant bring myself to give a 1 to anyones hard work.

Nor can I. But you see, as ramagi said, not everything submitted to the portal contains hard work. And some contains absolutely NO hard work on the part of the submitter... with a 5 meg uncompressed song that took hard work on the part of the musician, who has nothing to do with the submitter and is being used by him.

Can you perhaps see now... how many of us have tens of thousands of blam assists? It wasn't an evil holocaust... it was... a series of mercy killings, you see. O_o

A-list schmay-list, you made it on one of the By Saves lists. Shouldn't be too much longer until you make the A list anyway ;)

Thank you very muchos! Too bad we didn't have the race I hoped for Wismty, I guess I was a little too fast for you back then. You are almost on the list as well, "just" 200 points left...but protection points are so hard te get.

So that's why you only have 9,479 protection points?;-) But thanks you!

Good job, all three of you! It's always nice to see people finally make the OTHER top 50 list when they've been on one of 'em for awhile.

No big 5k/10k/15k/20k/25k/30k landmarks for anyone on this one, eh? A pity.

I was glad to see I still managed a blue underline on the saves list this update, despite my decreased output. Thanks, Dogma.

Compared to Dogma's blam points, that IS kinda a low number, relatively speaking.

And anyway, the point is that they don't come very quickly, compared to blams, even for someone with MORE saves than blams. It's not like if you cut back on blams, your saves shoot up... that's only the case if you usually vote 0 or 1 on borderline stuff, even though you'll miss a few points... and then switch to voting 2 or 3 on borderline stuff... that's the only way it would impact your saves.

Even for me, the only person on NG to have enough saves to be EG Colonel on saves alone (hee!), saves don't come easily. It's hard to grind 'em out. As evidenced by the fact that I once had 6000 blams and 6000 saves, but now I have 17500+ saves and 25900+ blams... I'm nearing 10,000 more blams than saves, and that's just depressing. ;_;

Saves are also hard to come by thanks to idiots who gives 0's to good entries for no fucking reason. Often when I see something worth say a 4, and raise it's score to say 0.52 I'll check the author's profile and find it's his/her first flash. Then I'll see something worth a 2 and lower it's score to 3.76, check the author's profile and see he/she has an A+ batting average. Interesting eh? I really hope wade starts deleting accounts for this shit soon, real soon, that's just fucked up.

As of last update I'm getting one more save per day than toocool, so if I can keep that up i'll have more saves than him in under 18 years! hah

Well, I think it's fortunately a RARE event for a movie I think deserves a 4 to have a 0.52 after I vote to save it.... now, do I see a lot of borderline flashes that I think are hilarious or worthy of being on the portal or whatever... that I hit 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 depending on how I feel about it or how I'm feeling at the time.... and notice it's at 1.40? Sure. All the time. Every day, probably.

But oh well. We gotsta keep fighting the good fight, eh?
