The List

Top 5 Gainers:

Marsupial - 610
Joshiwa - 514
Azentiger - 485
Corky52 - 471
NEVR - 414

I'm keeping it going. I swore I had over 500, but I guess I did really start to slow down towards the end of the week. Oh well, better luck next time for me I guess.

Top gainers, repeat offenders: Corky52 (7), NEVR (6), Joshiwa (3)

Not bad. I think I can keep this going for a long time starting now. But as soon as there is something like a vacation, I'm going to go right back down. NEVR might have a little trouble keeping this up since becoming a mod. Good luck though.

>>> 26 || [ 14144 ] || [ 095 ] || [ 13.6 ] || [ 01.7 - ] || ever-vigilant, Captain

I'm almost certain that I will catch you next time, but even if I don't it will be very soon. After that though it doesn't look like I will be going anywhere too fast.

>>> 27 || [ 13977 ] || [ 471 ] || [ 67.3 ] || [ 09.7+ ] || Corky52, Lieutenant

Nice, but I would of have about 150 more if I wouldn't of been so busy towards the end of the week. Oh well, it happens to all of us at some time or another.

Ah! So it's every week? Because it was once every 2 weeks, before.

Average B/P per member: 19,532 B/P
Average EGB rank: Brig. General

So I'm under the average... guh.

Praporshchik: 1 (2%)

Great... I'm the only one of my rank...

Most frequent rank: EGSC

As usual... Tell me... It never changes, huh? So why putting it every week, then? It already has been something else?

Promotions:

Joshiwa - Supreme Commander

Congratz for reaching the ultimate rank!

Shanus - Commander

Well, congratz to you too. ^^

Azentiger - Praporshchik

And to... Wait... that's me. Yay!

Marsupial - Pvt. First Class

Already? You're quite fast...

Top 5 Gainers:

Heh... Just came back... and that's the highest place I had in a roster. Third. Not bad. ^^

It has been a good week. Even though I missed some points and failed to get alot of them...

>>> 46 || [ 03533 ] || [ 610 ] || [ 87.1 ] || [ 00.0+ ] || Marsupial, Pvt. First Class +3

Probably the one I should be watching carefully. His pace is fast... and as I could miss some good points at some times... he could reach me. It could take time... but he really could reach me.

Well, that was about it.

*Salutes*

Sorry for double posting, but I just found out something.

My mom died. She was 46.

Don't ask why I'm on here, or even why I posted this in the EGB thread, just thought I should, I dunno what else to do at the moment.

Obviously I'm pretty upset, but I'm not that sad really. We weren't that close. She has had a really bad alcohol addiction for years now, so bad she moved out 2 years ago on a court order. I hadn't spoken to her in a few weeks either. To be honest, I saw this coming for a while, the way she drank, no one could keep it up. Eventually it caught up with her.

The timing is pretty awful. Tomorrow I gotta enroll and register in college, so whether I like it or not I have to go out there for 5-6 hours to meet my faculty adviser, get my class timetable, and all that. Plus my little brother only started secondary school last week. I'm more upset by worrying how it'll affect him than by the death itself, weird as it may sound.

In case you are worried for me, don't be, I'll be alright. In another way it's kinda good to have closure. My dad and everyone else has spend the last decade trying to help her, but at the end of the day she didn't wanna be helped.

Thanks for reading guys, (and sorry if I've brought you down at all).

Sucks. At least college will take your mind off it a bit. Hope you and your family are alright.

I'm sorry to hear that, despite her health problems it must still be a big shock to you. I know how hard it can be and I hope you and your family find strength in each other over the coming weeks and months, you may well grow closer than ever.

I can totally understand why you would post about it here as well, as weird as it may seem- it is often easier to talk about it with people who have no emotional connection themselves, and talking about it is something everyone needs to do sooner or later.

I wish you and your family well.

Congrats and all that, can't really think of what else to say, apart from maybe saying I got there first, lol.

That sucks, I mean it would be even worse if you where closer and everything but it's still pretty bad to have a perant die, I think. I don't really know how it feels so I can't really say too much, but I hope you manage to carry on. I won't say much more.

I am sorry for your loss man, I hope everything works out or you.

My friend died a couple days ago so I have some what of an idea of what you are going through :(. But all we can do is be strong and wait for the sorrow to pass because I am sure they would not want you to be sad over them for too long.

I was thinking of joining you guys. :)
Do i meet the specifications?

I feel sorry for you, man. My uncle, actually, was found in his room dead this morning, no cause of death yet known, but dang... It must feel horrible to have your mother die on you. As much as my mom and I argue, I would feel really sad if she died. You have my condolences.

Also, NEVR? Why wasn't I put on the roster after reaching Private rank this last week? I mean, I can understand if you didn't want to put Guardsmen, at the Police ranks, on the roster, however I finally breached the rank of eligibility for EGB membership this week, and looking at the roster I kinda feel left out that my name's not on there.

Did you ask for formal membership? I didn't see Slash confirming your place. Even though you were a Guardsman, your entry isn't automatic one your gain the rank of Private. You still need the approval of the recruitment officer.

It'll take a while before I'll be able to climb back to the b/p position I was before my family went on a vacation which started on Clock Day

It's going to take some time...

Thusly accepted, lol.

Very big hurry, so I'll be brief:

1. I submitted a flash a few days ago, lol. Hope to submit more; Secret Episode Special 3 may be made in the near future, as well. If I decide to do it, I'll put up a sign-up sheet on my userpage.

MY FLASH SKILL IS AMAZING, LOL :'(

2. NEVR, you did a swell job with the updates. Sucks that you won't be doing them anymore. Also, congrats on the mod thing. Whip some abusive ass and do the Barracks proud, heh. *salute*
3. RohantheBarbarian, my condolences. Wish I could say more, but I've never had a family death and don't know what to say about it.

Wow that's a really detailed list. Must've taken ages NEVR. Shame youre not going to be doing it anymore

Well, 350 up on phantom is a nice number. But now I'm 150 back on Heaven, and he seems to be gaining speed. But I think, if I try, I can pass him in 3-4 weeks, depending on his pace. No more than 5.

And Pinoy, you're killing me. 575 back, and you pick up speed.

Damn. I know that you weren't close, but it still has to hurt. And your little brother,.... kids are so much more sensitive to death than us people who lurk on orgish.com and /b/. I just hope that somehow, everything works out for the best that it can be right now.

RothantheBarbian as everyone else has said im ,so sorry for your Mom,s death but you posted here is brave. I hope you do well at your new college life ,can be real rough at times. NEVR thanks for the roaster shame, its your final one, but Joshiwa. Does a swell job and well done on your Sumpreme Commander Joshiwa. I will never get that far but its lovely ,to see people get that elite badge with honors salutes.

It's actually quite sad and boring I now have no more EGB competition. The only person with some chance of catching up, seems to be Coop, who is sadly just over 17 thousand points away.

Oh well, thanks a lot for the update, I hope the next one is just as good (even if not by you) :P

Thanks, glad you thought so. It does suck, but I figured it was best to quit whilst I was ahead. I still intend to stick around the EGB for the time being, especially considering things are looking up around here of late.

Also, congrats on the mod thing. Whip some abusive ass and do the Barracks proud, heh. *salute*

I very much intend to :)

You sound like an executive Silver Back. A wild one would probably say the gorilla equivalent of 'keep your distance, or I'll tear you a new arsehole', followed by a manly beating of the chest and a roar of dominance :P

After much thought i decided to quit The Review Request Club, a shame but i found it to be more of a chore then fun. Dont get me wrong i love writing reviews, but it got to much for me to handle.

That's funny, thats the exact reason i quit the club, the only reason i was staying was to maintain my 100%, so i quit before i lost it, i was doing them for the sake of it, not because i was enjoying writing them.

Its a shame you quit the Review request Club, but I understand how it could be taxing on you. I wouldn't be able to review that much because I really only review things I like but now that I am an EGSC I started reviewing more since I don't have to worry about B/P points as much.
