Congrats Mazza ! good job, : )
_______

And before it goes, happy page 1100 to all, weird how every 100 pages is no longer a big deal now the lounge has made it past the 1000 mark, i remeber the fiasco back at page 700 !

Okay, with the Birthday celebrations well underway... (I spent the whole day working >:( ) I thought I'd better post my year-end stats.

Experience Points: 3,660. 10 per day, plus the sign on bonuses. I calculate that I have not missed a single day since sign up.

Level 12, so that means for next year's target, I'd say give me another 5 or 6 levels. Any more and I suck at maths.

Experience: Ranked 1,304 out of 732,126 users. I'll aim for between top 1000 and top 750 by 365 days time.

B/P: Ranked 472 out of 732,126 users. Maybe top 200 this time next year.

Blams: 2,996. I'm not happy that I didn''t get 3k in time, but it will come. Target for next year: 8k total, 5k on the year.

Saves: 1,007. I managed to get this one across the line, and would aim to do the same next time, but push the bar up a little. Target 2,500 which is a gain of 1500.

Total B/P 4,003; Rank: EG Staff Sergeant. Target is 10,500 for next year, so the rank of EG Second Lieutenant. I'll have to push extra hard and get the 1st Lieutenant, just to show off.

Whistle: Silver. Everyone's got one of those, so I'd like to upgrade to gold, but since I don't know the boundaries, I'm not going to speculate.

BBS Posts: 2,612 (7.166 per day.) I'm currently posting at about 10/day so I'll put a target at 4000 posts. Let the spamming commence.

Now, to crack open the booze (and get me those 3000 BLAMS)

testing testing check 1, 2, 3.
does this even still work?

Happy NG-birthday. :)

Level 12, so that means for next year's target, I'd say give me another 5 or 6 levels. Any more and I suck at maths.

Don't count on it. humantarget currently has 19496 XP, so assuming he deposits everyday and gets up to 23146 next year, the XP required for (for example) Level 16 will rise to 7982 by then. That's more than you'll have if you deposit every day, too, so you'll likely be Level 15.

Blams: 2,996. I'm not happy that I didn''t get 3k in time, but it will come. Target for next year: 8k total, 5k on the year.

Sounds doable.

Saves: 1,007. I managed to get this one across the line, and would aim to do the same next time, but push the bar up a little. Target 2,500 which is a gain of 1500.

Same thing. :)

Total B/P 4,003; Rank: EG Staff Sergeant. Target is 10,500 for next year, so the rank of EG Second Lieutenant. I'll have to push extra hard and get the 1st Lieutenant, just to show off.

OK, good luck to you! ^^

Whistle: Silver. Everyone's got one of those, so I'd like to upgrade to gold, but since I don't know the boundaries, I'm not going to speculate.

Out of all the people who were listed on D0GMA's last EGRL, there was exactly *one* person with a gold whistle (TheJoe324) and *one* deity (ramagi), so I guess it'll be very, very hard at least to get beyond Silver. That's what more or less everyone's stuck at.

BBS Posts: 2,612 (7.166 per day.) I'm currently posting at about 10/day so I'll put a target at 4000 posts. Let the spamming commence.

Shouldn't be a problem, either. ^_^

But I was #1 in saves from July of 2004 until April of 2005. Please to not spit upon my achievement. It's all I have. Memories... (sniff)

You're right gfox. You have the most protection points out of everyone so the crown should go to you. All hail the King! Still, I hope Toocool100 tries for EGSC without increasing his blam total too much. Getting there with less than 100 blams would definitely be something to brag about.

Good call Coop. I honestly can't remember the last time I flagged an abusive review and I still have a silver whistle. Once it hits bronze I'll start checking reviews again.

100+ days to go...

Congratulations to everyone else too on thier achievements.

War of the Portal - Part 4
6 - “The Last Ancient”
Note: For the sake of simplicity, the Ancient speaking Ancient tongue (Latin) in this chapter will be translated by Alkador. At times the Latin is displayed; you may assume that the Ancient tongue (Latin) was not translated.

The huge submission giant charged to the group as he roared in a rage. A geyser of lava erupted from the ground as they all entered the roflcopter. The blades began to turn immediately despite the large icicles that had attached themselves to the machinery. The submission growled as it threw a ball of fire towards the flying transport, which quickly dodged the destructive power as it hovered upwards.
“The shadows of earth are rising again. The King has awoken.” Muttered Stamper as the giant submission became an ant as they moved northwards.

“What does he mean by the King?” Asked Denvish as he shivered, looking at the collapsed mountain in shock.
“The last Geminus lord has risen. His coming will be an end if none fight.” Stamper said with an expressionless face, seemingly calm over the whole incident.
“Was that the King’s work?” Stuttered _lightning_ as he looked back at the ruins. He turned his head away, unable to bear the shock he has experienced. “The destruction of the mountain?”
“No,” The four looked at Stamper in shock. “Only the guards of the King. They are a force that is as strong as the other Geminus lord who is dead.”
“Can’t we just do what D0GMA did to the last Geminus lord?” Suggested the_phantom_spancker, remembering the blue light that came from the heavens during the huge battle against the submissions.
“D0GMA?” Stamper stared at the_phantom_spancker; the name very familiar to him. “God’s servant!”
“Do…mini?” Alkador looked at Stamper.

“I am the last Ancient alive in this world,” He said slowly, giving time for Alkador to translate. “When the Gods departed the world, three servants came to be, always dying and returning in an alternate life.”
“An alternate life? Departed?” Denvish appeared confused. “So D0GMA was a god…do you know who the others where?”
“When the servants died, they were brought back in another body, unaware of their past lives. They were still able to summon the Power to a level they previously had learnt. The other two gods were Dobio and the King himself.”
“The King?” ReconRebel gasped as he walked into the small compartment, shaky of the whole incident. “You’re going to have to tell me about this. Then we’re going to have to find out about how the submissions managed to destroy a mountain so huge!”

Qwoxyl ducked as Rat charged at him in rage. Rat threw a ring of fire as Afterburner appeared from behind.
“Qwoxyl, XwaynecoltX, XkwiziTOnE! Come here!” Roared Crono- as he grinned, his right hand placed forwards. Afterburner and XkwiziTOnE appeared by his side, placing their hands on top of his. Inuzuka-Kiba grunted as he threw binding threads of a red colour at Rat. Qwoxyl and XwaynecoltX gasped for breath as they placed their hands on the others.
“Relax and think of our bodies becoming one,” Said Afterburner as he breathed slowly. They focused and felt each other with a strange aura glowing around them. It was done. “Penta formation!”

The five smiled as radiating auras appeared around them. They charged towards Rat as XwaynecoltX felt a strange urge in his body, sliding on the ground and leaping up to give Rat an uppercut. Qwoxyl dashed forwards, unleashing a blow from his pipe and slamming it against Rat’s head. The creature growled as it roared deeply, throwing a hail of ice towards XkwiziTOnE, who was instinctively aware of what actions to take. He dodged with great speed, moving like a blur as Crono- flashed behind Rat, throwing him upwards. Afterburner grinned as he flared forwards while XkwiziTOnE threw him into the air, towards Rat. Afterburner roared as his fist glowed blue; his silver gauntlet smashing onto Rat’s chest. The creature gasped as the force brought him to the ground, breaking the floor as he did so. He coughed blood as he tried to breath. Mustering his final energy, Rat stood up.
“You may have defeated me twice, but next time, I’ll avenge you all for Dobio’s death!”
Two black holes formed on his back as small rockets jets appeared from beneath his fur. A flare of fire boosted him away as he laughed manically. His laughed continued as he smashed through the mansion walls to escape.

“But Dobio is still alive…” Eldarion said, cradling his broken arm from Rat’s attack.
“It was bad timing too,” Sighed RedCircle. “Just as we were getting ourselves a better defence.”
carmelhadinosaur gasped as he stared at the group, shocked at the Penta formation. “What kind of power is that?”
Afterburner puffed as he slumped against the wall. The whole mansion was in ruins. “It seems that ‘Rat’ is back and he’s nastier than ever.” He glanced towards carmelhadinosaur. “That power is different to that of the Power. Traditionally it was the_phantom_spancker, _lightning_, MPA, Crono- and I that performed that, but…”
“But three of those people are away…” Sighed Inuzuka-Kiba. “The Penta formation is an increase in strength that requires five men who have a great willpower. It can also be done with more people or even less but five is the best number.”
“And what about those red threads that came out of your fingertips?” RedCircle breathed as he stood up to stare at Inuzuka-Kiba. “What was that?”
“My body has been infected with Portal threads. Because of that, I am able to manipulate air around me to a lesser extent.”

The roflcopter landed on the helipad as gfoxcook smiled. His was tired and he was more curious as to what happened to the mansion.

Yet another quality installment from Alkador, master of portal based fiction.

It's been a hectic week for me, collecting my 1000th Save, 3000th Blam, EG Staff Sgt badge and celebrating my 1st NG Birthday.

Now that all those are out of the way, expect me to blend into the background again for about another 3 months.

Congratulations to all on any achievement and thanks to those of you who congratted me.

Happy NG Birthday to Coop83, have a good one :D

I should have waited till today to post that #250 b/p pic, because I managed to get into the top 2000 EXP users today as well:

--------IMPORTANT NEWS--------

It's time to enforce the Newgrounds rule:

"Stat Topics aren't allowed. Everyone on NG (potentially) has a profile for a reason. No need to have a "Post your popularity here!" thread. Level up (blam/protect or experience) threads and threads about how many posts you have are also not allowed."

Here's what we're gonna do:

I will try and get spancker's approval on the renaming of this topic to just the:
Wi/Ht? Lounge

I will be locking my "The One Lounge" since there isn't a need for two lounges in one forum.

I will try to get jonthomson to allow me to unlock his Reviews topic so that people may post in there if they want to talk about Reviews (since there will be little discussion about reviews in here).

This will now be the Lounge in Where is/How to. This will not be a place where you can post your achievements, but rather, you may engage in casual conversation. The reason? It's against the rules. This topic (and forum) have been built on stats, and it might take some time for people to adjust, but all in all, it's for the best for the topic and forum as a whole.

There are plenty of topics out there (ramagi's EXP topic, gfoxcook's VP and Pentalist topics, Jonthomson's Reviews topic [which I will ask Jon to unlock in the next day or so], D0GMA's Blam&Save topic, gfoxcook's Blams and [unrelated] Saves topic) that will cater to your specific discussion regarding those relevant topics of interest.

Anyway, I'll be deleting irrelevant and spam posts from now on. gfoxcook and I have decided that it's in the best interest for the forum, and since the rules state that this topic should not contain stat posting anyway, it makes sense.

Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?

But, if you feel the need to flame me, do it in e-mail, or AIM, and I'll hear you out gladly.

Hmm, there's the Review club in the C&C, so I don't think there's a point on unlocking that review thread. The review stuff could be in the Reviewer's Club. That's what I think, though. If I am wrong, then okay.

Also, I'm alright with this change, even though I hate changes like this. I will miss the stat acheivement and congratting people, but to keep away from breaking the rules, then I guess it's best to stop. I'm sorry for any mess I have caused in this lounge. Hopefully with this new change, I will not be as bad as I used to be with the posts I made in the LUL.

WHAHAHA!
Well than, no more place to talk about archivments ):(

I just hope everything will be as fun as it used to be, in the good old days.

Anyways, today i finally go... WHAHAHAHA! BOOHOO..

hahaha, it's hard, isn't it?
_______________

Anyway, after a LONNNNNNNNNNNNG night of talking to people and sharing comments (and Halo 2), I'm finally ready for bed. Have a good one everyone, and I talked to spancker on MSN, and I'll try and contact Wade or James about renaming this topic tomorrow.

So, YAAFM isn't all that I thought it would be, but it wasn't bad this time around. Too much advertising, but hey, they gotta make their money somehow...

hahaha, it's hard, isn't it?

Well i did it on purpose, but yes :o
It'll be odd doing everything while it's splitted into different topics...

LONNNNNNNNNNNNG night

Wow, you had a lonnnnnnnng day... dream about a new way for everything to be fun =)

Well, I think it's a good think that these stats talks finally end. It was getting rather boring just to see stats and lists everywhere, it stopped to make sense after all :-\

Oh, and great episode Alkador, I really liked this one (can't explain why though, hehe). But I think I've missed one, in which episode does the submissions destroy a mountain?

Nevermind Alk, found it myself ...

You know, the topic getting deleted doesn't destroy the fact you helped in creating something cool. What's more important anyway, having a lounge that you created or having a lounge?

I never liked that topic anyway.

Should we post our achievements in the related threads (for example, a rank-up into Dogma's thread or into gfox's voting power list because the rank-up gives a nice vp boost) instead of posting the reached milestones here? I guess that if it's accepted then posting weak stats that nobody cares about (for example, 300 blams or 50 saves) won't be allowed.

This thread can still be used to discuss about the experience system, reviewing system, etc. without posting achievements, right?

Having a lounge. Hopefully, this lounge won't become too much like the general forum.

Nope. That was locked BEFORE any of this shit came up.

This topic (and forum) have been built on stats, and it might take some time for people to adjust, but all in all, it's for the best for the topic and forum as a whole.

So instead of one topic where people are free to post statistical achievements, you want people to use several topics (which only consisted because of the lists, all barring one or possibly two being dead anyway) to post their stats? On the principle that you want this single thread to remain stat-post free?

Anyway, I'll be deleting irrelevant and spam posts from now on. gfoxcook and I have decided that it's in the best interest for the forum, and since the rules state that this topic should not contain stat posting anyway, it makes sense.

Ah, so the aforementioned "we" consists of yourself and gfoxcook now, does it? You can't possibly use the rules argument anyway, seeing how the topic predates the rules document.

Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?

You've lost your mind.

But, if you feel the need to flame me, do it in e-mail, or AIM, and I'll hear you out gladly.

Nope, I'll air it here actually. If the whole texture of this forum is going to change on your whim, it only seems fair that everyone sees discussion. Especially considering that you're the one that has seemingly invisaged the "problem" and a self appointed cartel is deciding on what to do about the "problem".
