Level 25

21,000 b/p points

I don't suppose that 1,000 medal points is worth mentioning here?

6,000 exp points

Level 24 rank - bit of a while since I've been active in the forums, I know

Hmm, interesting to see that I'm not the only one whose b/ping has been somewhat lax as of late. In my case, though, it's simply due to a drop in activity in Newgrounds in general on my part. However, to find this trend across the board is surprising. As regards the matter of working out which "Coop" is which, just run your cursor over the link to the names. You should find, in Firefox at least, that it tells you in the bottom left corner of the screen where it goes, simple enough really.

Top 3,000 in experience

Level 23

True, it is possible to vote for someone else who isn't mentioned in Bahamut's private messages, but at the same time, barring some rather impressive coincidences, there is no way that such a vote would result in a victory. At best, all that one could realistically expect would be to bring that individual to the attention of other voters in time for the next month's elections.

You do not know how hard that 1 last B/P point was to get!!!

On the contrary, I daresay that just about anyone who is even remotely serious about b/p points will know how irritatingly slowly the last 100 points take to amass for any promotion. If you think it's bad now, just wait until you're sitting on 2,000 point gaps 'til the next stage, then that last 100 will be horrifically slow.

As far as I'm concerned, I've never really been able to get into the General Forum at all. If you look through my post history, you'll only find maybe 3 or 4 posts in that forum in total, and all in the same thread. I happened to notice that they were talking about which language is the hardest to learn, which happens to be something of a pet topic of mine. However, to be honest, there is absolutely nothing of any worth in that forum. In fact, due to the sheer lack of maturity present therein, I tend to feel far, far older than I ought. Anyway, I would have to agree that there is a much better sense of community present within Wi/Ht? than in other forums that I've visited. It says something when even someone as verbose as I can be considered a member. :)

As for your rant, Bahamut, I would also have to lend my support thereto. There is simply no justification whatsoever for making those kinds of posts, especially given the fact that the transition from theory into practice is not lacking in precedent in various parts of the world. Fortunately, the school which I attended has an excellent bullying policy - anything which I reported (can be counted on the fingers of one hand for 7 years) was dealt with within 24 hours at the very latest. It would also help, though, if people realised that secondary education, while important, is comparatively minor in terms of personal development.

Once you leave whatever form of secondary education you attend, no-one is going to care whether or not you were popular at all. Those who are lucky enough to get into a good University, preferably one that is reasonably removed from their previous schools, will find it a fresh start in just about every way possible. Yes, secondary education can be a chore at times where the other pupils are concerned, but it's just temporary. I reckon that far too many people fail to realise this simple fact.

Given the fact that there are vastly more pressing matters for the Administration staff to deal with than something as comparatively simple as this, I believe the question should be "How hard can it be to create a new account?" At present, were you to do so, you'd be losing nothing of any real significance at all; within a week, your new account would already be worth far more than your current one.

You people vote irresponsibly and they manage to be saved
Another reason is that they made over hundreds of accounts and using those accounts, they made them saves and get them trophies like those.

You've contradicted yourself here, I'm afraid. You start off by stating that the people (normal Newgrounds users) are responsible for these submissions getting through due to irresponsible voting. Then, you go on to say that that they (I'm assuming you mean the people who create them, your usage of pronouns was somewhat ambiguous) create hundreds of accounts just to get them through. If the first statement is correct, then the second is superfluous. Likewise, if the second is correct, then it does not matter in the slightest what regular Newgrounds users vote seeing as their voting power can be overwhelmed by hundreds of single votes.

I hadn't noticed that until you pointed out there now, partially due to the portal being so slow today for some odd reason. As for how this happened, I'm guessing that the people responsible have managed to abuse the system correctly using a veritable army of people voting in the appropriate manner to achieve this result. Were I a gambling man, I'd be more than willing to bet that they'll be erased by the Administrators soon enough leaving a blank space in their stead.

I wouldn't complain too much about getting 55 B/P or so per day, seeing as that amounts to 385 in a week, and 1,570 in a month, more or less. It's still enough to get you through the ranks in a fairly respectable pace, at least, it is for those of us who are satisfied with not getting 80 per day.

If memory serves, there is no way to reply to any such messages; they are present only to let you know that you have been promoted to another level in Newgrounds, or for whatever other reason. In short, there's no need to worry about them. On a side note, congratulations for having the common sense to actually search for this particular thread instead of creating a pointless new thread - not bad for your first post in the BBS.

There might be one way to prove the veracity of this story, or to disprove it. I don't know what the exact procedure in the States is when people die, but over here, it's very common for there to be a notice placed within the obituary column of the local paper where it happened / the person lived, and the larger regional paper (4 Home Nations within the UK, remember) as well. With the correct geographical information and knowledge about the relevant publications, one should be able to find such a notice within a week at the absolute most, especially seeing as his real name, supposedly, is found within that blog post.

Interestingly enough, you would quite often find someone standing behind them who would take the role of an assistant of sorts, albeit of a somewhat unusual nature. From what I understand, this person would be waiting with a sword to deliver a killing blow should there be any chance whatsoever of the person undergoing seppuku dishonouring himself by crying out in pain. I've heard of one rather curious case in which a general performed this role for another general whom he had just defeated in combat, which for the culture, would be showing a considerable amount of respect. All the same, however, it's not something that strikes me as being particularly pleasant, to put it mildly.

Personally, I'd be inclined to regard him in a relatively positive light. Yes, he may have a habit of releasing these various flash series that run into several score in number. However, I don't classify him in the same manner as I would the people who posted those Adolf Hitler catch 'em all submissions last year. Granted, I may very well be mistaken on this point, but I don't believe the motivation to be identical in each case.

Brigadier General rank in B/P

In which case, might I recommend that you try the Defence Games section of Newgrounds? I daresay that you should be able to find quite a few that will pique your interest.

I just remembered something else as well relating to this matter. Quite often, I find that you will also get blank screens even if everything is up to date. I have Firefox as well, so I'm able to speak from personal experience on this one. In these cases, what happens isn't a case of the submission not working, but rather it simply getting onto your computer. Granted, I can't generalise seeing as I've no idea what your computer or your Internet connection are like, but if you wait long enough, that may prove to be the case.

The first thing that occurs to mind would be your flash player version. If memory serves, the newest version is a subset of Flash Player 10, so that in itself may very well by the source of the problem. Go to the Adobe website, and download the newest version of flash, and try again. If it doesn't work, let us know so we can help you further.

I've been having the same problem myself as of late, so I was interested to hear that there are other people who find themselves in this situation as well seeing as it happens even if I press "popup" to see something. On a hunch, I decided to see if Firefox's enlarge or decrease screen size function would make a difference. Upon doing so, I found that I was able to reduce the size of the screen enough for everything to be visible at once without the need for scrolling. If you're using Firefox, you can do so as well by clicking Ctrl and "-" or "=" to get the desired effect. As for Internet Explorer or other browsers, I don't know them nearly as well, but I wouldn't be surprised were similar features to exist in them as well. Hopefully that should help you.

Yes, I know perfectly well that my language is somewhat ... archaic, to say the very least. However, I have been trying to tone it down some degree so that it merely looks like overly formal English rather than the result of a 17th century time traveller logging into Newgrounds and making posts. :P However, this is simply the manner in which I feel comfortable expressing myself, and not an attempt to make myself sound more intelligent. It's nice to know, though, that I'm still regarded as being helpful enough to make it onto this list. Incidentally, though, if you think that my language is complicated, go to the letters page at www.timesonline.co.uk; you'll find archive letters from a couple of hundred years ago, and their language is formal even by my standards. :)

Ok, I have to admit that I am very surprised indeed to see my name here at all seeing as I've been somewhat quiet this past week or so. In any case, thanks very much to all those who voted for me, whomever you may be. Now to get my signature updated seeing as I'm no longer going to be on the Regulars list if my understand is correct.

Give it 5 minutes, and he'll be over that amount assuming that he's voted on all the current entries awaiting judgement. I'm guessing he was just wanting to get his own list done, and perhaps throw in a reference to a certain Internet meme at the same time.
