My guess is it is a russian something or other, it sound russian, but I might be wrong.

Yeah I have been getting a lot more these past couple of days, we might have another race on our hands!

You know you guys really intimidate me with all your blams and saves, you guys can get what i have in a week if you try, i'm lucky to remember to get 5 a day. Fucking inbreeding, it causes more problems than it solves.

Heh, you were right. It's a Warrant Officer in Russian. Well, it is if the website where I've been told me the truth.

Thing I don't get about all of it is, all the ranks are based on american ranks, or at leeast ones that are used by both america and other countrys, it seems odd they just threw a russian one into the mix, go figure.

Praporshchik (good thing Mr_Pop_Alot has that rank). I found the website Shpouiten was just talking about, so you were right.

Races are fun. Although this time I don't plan to come second.

It's easy to get b/p points, just vote on everything UJ once in a while and you'll have the next rank in no time. It's not like we refresh the page every minute.

Thats cool, but i suspect some people do just sit there and vote on everything and then refresh every 3 minutes to see the new ones.

Nuts, I forgot to do this. Congrats to everyone who leveled up!

I have to refresh every 10 minutes because at random times, I get an error saying "You've already voted for this submission". I have cable, so the best explanation I have is static IP (or my IP changes every once in a while, so there's nothing I can do about it).

I think the reason behind naming it Praporshchik instead of Warrant Officer was to avoid confusion with the Police ranks. Anyway I always thought it was a cool looking badge and like Baron said it's the first of the gold badges.

Praporshchik is the old equivalent of Warrant OFficer in the Soviet army. No clue if it is still in use in the Russian anymore, but it seems likely. We went over this last summer when I was still (did I ever stop? lol) whining about the number of Sergeant ranks.

Warrant Officer, in the US ranks, is a separate career path between Sergeant and Lieutenant. It's sort of NCO and sort of Officer, but essentially once you've gone that route, you don't come back. The trouble with using it here is that WO grades are WO1, WO2, WO3, and WO4. They don't actually have separate titles. The use of Prap. also gives a nod, however small, to our European contingent of blammers.

Ugh finally home. Only got 232 b/p points this weekend so far. :(

Hey hey!
Congrats, this is your first badge you have earned by getting 1500 B/S! I take it it takes a lot of getting used to.

Congrats!

You've been on my back for a long time now. I'm gonna have to put my foot down to get away from you.

Actually, when you think about it, I'm not really that much of a threat. I mean, I don't really know what you mean by "on my back", but when you get right down to it, you're still 1500 blam/protect points ahead of me. And since we're keeping at roughly the same pace, I'm more likely to just pass Stormwarden and NeMeSiSM66 with you than just all out pass you. But yeah, man, don't worry. I'm in no rush to knock you out a spot. I've just got my sights set on that Elite Guard Supreme Commander rank. If I just get there someday, I'll be a happy, happy man. Besides, I'm a very slow-and-steady kind of guy. And you saw what -AcidBurn- posted. You're going at almost exactly the same pace I'm going at. We'll probably be together on this for a couple of months. Just as long as you don't take any two-month long vacations, you should be fine.

That having been said, I just might get screwed over this summer. Who knows where I might end up? All I know is, I'm travelling.

Hey BiteMe long time no see, hows it going. Havent seen you since the passing of the OCP *tear*

daredevilguy, for the record, the points required to make level 10 will increase by one every *other* day, assuming humantarget deposits.

yes, i know, if i didn't went offline for 2 days i'll probably be level 10 right now :(

Ja tell me about it, if i had deposited every day since i came here i would be level 13 now, which is a swift kick in the bollocks. Level 11 in a few days, w00t.

Speaking of missing deposits, it seems Pimp has done exactly that. The Top 50 EXP List now displays humantarget52 as 30 points ahead, compared to the 10 it was a few days ago. I very much doubt that humantarget has received bonus EXP or cheated the system in some way, so the only logical explanation is that Pimp missed one or more deposits.

They're ten points apart right now. Pimp's not missed a thing. AFAIK, HT missed one, and Pimp's got today's in first.

I made it to #51 today on the blam and protection list. Now me and Haqnspit(i think thats how you spell it) are going against each other in blam and protection points. She has 10,808 b/p points and I have 10,642. That puts me as 166 away from her.
