Vert, as much as I respect you, you seem too damn serious for your own good. Gfox was just poking fun, and you seem to have overspill yourself. Your last statement just strikes as a sense of superiority complex, which you seem to deny in your earlier post. C'mon man, just chill out.

Vert must be a distant relative of Dream-of-Duke. Is he perhaps a Red Sox fan as well, I wonder?

Nein! I see it now... gfoxcook, he's orchestrating it... he's putting everyone against me... and as verily as did king Lear see the inevitable betrayl that led to his downfall, gfoxcook has told you all of my terrible ambitions! Thus, I am forced to conclude that you're all in it... the prophecy must be fufilled! I shall be number one and save NG from it's itself!

The Death Note shall not be unused against those who aren't unworthy of not being submitted towards it's incredible strength and weakness and only by fulling the <Squawk!> can we hope... for as much as you try to russian reversal me, I can see the conspiracy now... I CAN SEE:

ROSEBUD IS THE SLEIGH!

<Squawk>!

So as much as I don't not want to unwrite that which wasn't unpreviously unwritten, I'm sadly forced to conclude that gfoxcook payed you all your weight in three headed monkeys.

Hopefully that will clear things up.

Why thank you! You obviously understand me better than most. And flatterly will get you everywhere.

Fortunately, you've not been called things like a serial killer, or a wife beater, yet. There is still time however.

One can always dream the impossible. Achieving the impossible is a matter for the jurors to decide, but...

This thread will remain quite weird for me for some time to come, as I keep looking at it and feeling small. Most of the threads I visit nowadays, I'm one of the highest level users in, but this one, I'm actuallt one of the lowest, amongst the regulars.

True wisdom comes from abject modesty. And from TicTacs, the only certain source of truth we can be sure.

Welcome to Brobdingnag, Mr. Gulliver.

Enjoy your stay with me, the Houyhnhnm! And, sadly, the all those Yahoos too...

Yeah, well... I'm not. I passed alexsmolik a few months ago, and some schmoe a month or so ago... and then a whole bunch of nothing. And.... while I haven't checked in awhile, I doubt I'm about to pass anyone anytime soon. BLOW.

Which should make me happy to be able to pass people right now.

Maybe so, but JB (aka TEH BEDN) is talking about bringing it back, so... dunno why you're only waiting to hear from those two.

Bedn said something? :O I thought he wasn't going to have anything to do with the revival site. I only went by SK and QF since they were the ones talking about bringing the site back. I think that was late 2007, though and nothing seems to have moved forward since then.

I AM CORRECT, SIR!
YOU ARE INCORRECT, I'M AFRAID.

Heh, sorry Vert, but it's hard getting the giest of what your saying.

ROFFLEWAFFLES. What the hell happened in here while I was gone for JUST A DAY OR TWO. Jeebz sheebz, folks...

Well, it's just hard to imagine caring about exp anymore if your life changed that drastically. Unless, I suppose, you are the Black Knight, yes. #;-}>

"mother of all that we as human hold sacred!" I'm fear for that scenario!

SCALING IS TEH RULE. BOW DOWN BEFORE IT.

Ah yes, well guess I'll have to accept it or jump off a bridge. Here's to a undying commitment as a statswhore on Newgrounds! :-)

Whoa... statswhore instead of statwhore. Has a certain... smooth flowiness to it.

Made me think of "spellsword" for some reason. i.e. a D&D type character class with equal parts swordsman and wizard.

It's scary to imagine you sitting there with a pen, marking off names on your list "yesss... this would do nicely... yesss..." haha, but seriously, that sounds great gfox, seems you'll be reaching the Top50 in no time. Personally I fear for RagelV, as I'm prone to miss deposits when I'm on vacation and this guy hasn't let up. Guess we all have our share of risk in this discrete race.

Eh. All of that, minus a paper list and a pen and checking/marking off names.

But yes, the dialogue you ascribe to me is about spot on. #;-}> And yep, hopefully I shall reach the top 50 in no time at all (not).

RageIV? Is that RageVI's grandfather? #;-}>

Anyway, you're only a level behind me, so the top 50 must therefore be within your reach as well. TAKE HEART!

It seems that you belive (much like fox) that somehow I was stating my superioty... that's far from the truth, I'm merely a humanitarian who wishes to minimize the harm that will inevitably (in what I estimated to be about 80-90 years from now) ocorrur to a fellow NG.

If you see that a person is going to fall down a flight of stairs, would you not try to grab a pillow beforehand to soften the blow? Or if a person is going to fall down a cliff into a lake of water, would you not try to throw an object into the water at the exact time so as to break the surficie tension and impede that person from dying a horribe death? Or if you see a person about to perform a uncontrolled nuclear fission on some plutonium, would you not use a carbon shield in a attempt to stop the reaction?

That is very much my current situation. But I must admit that I may have asked the wrong person here, as I have never had the possibility of being ahead of fox in exp, thus his experience is suficiently diferent from yours that the blow will surely not be the same. Still, thanks for the answer, I will use as proxy until I can obtain a more satisfactiory answer.

Whoa. So... you want to cushion the blow of you passing me.... by rubbing in the "fact" that you'll be passing me? That's some airtight logic, man. But I enjoy your crazy rationalisations and justifications. Heh.

Wouldn't the equivalent of stopping a nuclear reaction from happening... be for you to stop depositing, though? #;-}>

I.... see. O_O Now you're talking like a missionary, man. YOU'RE BEGINNING TO CONCERN ME, SIR.

I am, in fact, not burning. I mean, my skin certainly isn't, nor my body hair, nor any organ visible to the human eye. And as my current skin temperature is aproximatly 36 degrees C (or 98 degrees F), it's extremly unlikly that my internal organs are burning. So why did you say that? Did you wish me to burn? Or are you currently in a state of combustion? If so, I recomend you "stop, drop and roll" or apply large amounts of water. Unless it's a grease fire. Or napalm. Or an electrical fire. In which case, I'm not sure what to do.

Oh, I get it now... I get it. #;-}>

Folks, I've been overly anal and "taking things at face value/without connotation/sarcasm" with Vert on a couple occasions. Once on the BBS, I believe, and once in my userpage's news post's comments.... Vert is trying to play at my game by my rules.

JUST AS I HAD PLANNED. #;-}>

Cute? Of all the things I <may> have been called in my life by my fellow man, such as a traitor, a liar, a killer, a troll, a sevenstar (if you know what I mean), a bully, a marshmallow*, a nerd*, a plague ridden scumbag, a cynic, a evil bastard, a melodramatic fool, a fanfic writer, a troubled soul, a fan of Gigli, a mutant, a prince of Wales, a Christopher Walken, a emo, a lyncher, a doubter, a meat eater, a rabble rouser; that may have been one of the most painfull.

Why would being compared to Christopher Walken be painful? That would be a great compliment!

Except that the natural order is obviously with me as #1. So your last statement makes no sense. I'd recommend you study a little bit of logic before posting here on Newgrounds.

In your world, a 2003 signup is supposed to be #1 on NG?

Dude, there were 200,000 or so accounts on NG before 2003 began... all of them could have been higher than you in exp right now.

There's exactly 7940 accounts that could have been higher than me in exp right now. Instead, only 63 are.

The only people I feel REALLY have a rightful claim to the "natural order means me at #1" status... are 1999 signups. There were only 17 days in 1999 that you could have gotten a NG account. And folks such as Pimp and HT and Shrapnel (and indeed Tom and Wade Fulp, but they don't value exp #;-}>) are those rightful 1999ers.

LONG MAY THEY REIGN.

My goal is to get ahead of everyone with a 2001+ signup date, seeing as how my signup date is in 2000. But righting that wrong... will be hard.

You should focus on getting ahead of anyone who signed up in 2004 or later, since you signed up in 2003. See how that works?

Yes. Enjoy it while it lasts. I speak of the tough and trying times of the folk in the top 100.... to inspire those NOT in the top 100 to not take their situations for granted, while they last (presuming daily deposits, of course.... otherwise, the situation will last forever!).

I AM CORRECT, SIR!
YOU ARE INCORRECT, I'M AFRAID.

You ruined it. Both with the non-caps text at the start.... and by repeating my "I'm afraid." COME UP WITH SOME ORIGINAL MATERIAL, DAGSNABBIT!

That just made me think. You only had like 7000 EXP when I first came here? Wow.

Um.... yeah? I only started depositing every day in January 2003. I had about 900 exp around then, despite having been on the site for 1000 days, and thus should have had more than 10,000 exp.

So... if you signed up in mid 2004.... then that's somewhat over a year of depositing since I started doing it religiously in Jan '03.... say a year and a half. 7000 exp from 700 days overall, but take out the 90 or so days I'd deposited in 2000, 2001, and 2002... so... 600 days from early 2003 on... boom, you're into mid 2004 right there. What's not to get?

It's a pain in the arse, but for the time being, just add one to your experience rank to come up with th correct figure.

I was referring to Vert never having been #1, never having been close, and most likely never ever being close, let alone #1.... so don't say something like there's still time!

I don't look at your level icon in this thread and think "huh, Coop sure is well below the rest of us that frequent this thread..." or anything, though.

Sure, there's a lot of people that drop by here like ramagi and Yoink and Recon and myself who are all level 43+ right now, but there's plenty of those types in every major thread on this forum. I guess somehow the people of low teens and 20s levels don't tend to come by here as much as in some other threads... and so you don't feel like anyone below you is here... but I see your level 37 axe and think "That's a decent level. That's the level of my alt alt right now."

You'll be level 40 before you know it, and hopefully that'll be high enough, with the ticking over from 3x to 4x.... to make you feel less self-conscious in such topics and company as this? #;-}>

Of course. I know the basic plot, the characters (him and the Lilliputians or whatnot), but I've never read the actual story, and the term "Brobdingnag" to me seems like a parodic setting of a LOTR fortress (so clearly I'm not as familiar with the settings).

So... yeah. Brobdingnag is just a whack-ass word, that's all I was reacting to. O_o

Ah, Irony. Such a good tool, if used correctly. If.

He may not be using it well, but my point is he's aware of the ridiculousness of his own playacting.... whereas with DoD... we're not so sure.

He's changed his email address and hasn't validated it yet. This means tht he's technically non-existent in the rankings, as he isn't receiving the daily updates or anything like that.

That happens to all of us when we change addresses.

Most of us click the validate link BEFORE the next day rolls around, though. And that has made all the difference.

Plus, while this has no doubt happened before many times, maybe with people remaining rank #0 for WEEKS and weeks... we wouldn't notice them if they weren't in the top freakin' 10 of exp users.

I think it flat-out stinks that the NG exp rankings have this stupid vulnerability to them. I don't see what difference the e-mail address your account is linked to, its validation, whether you're getting daily updates, or any e-mail-related issues..... what difference ALL OR ANY of that crap makes to the daily exp ranking algorithm.

Why does the account not being re-validated make that aspect of NG's daily cronjobs.... pass over that account, and its 26,000 freakin' exp points.... and just slap a "#0" in the rank spot.... while everything else on Shrapnel's userpage remains accurate, including b/p ranking. It's just... so stupid.

It's a pain in the arse, but for the time being, just add one to your experience rank to come up with th correct figure.

It's more than a pain in the arse. It's a false hope for around 2 million NG accounts.... the only unaffected accounts are the top 5 or whatever folks that are lucky enough to be ahead of Shrapnel right now in exp, and thus not having to deal with inaccurate exp ranking in their userpages. LAME.

Well, not according to the last list. gfoxcook gave us an update of the 688 users who had 10,000+ Experiences

That's still within your reach though, all you've got to do is be dedicated.

Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag...

Just to make things clear for everyone, I was, as gfoxcook was kind enough to point out, just playing out the role of the "stupid ego maniac seeking out the #1". I'm quite aware that I'll never reach the top 50, let alone the #1 spot and I only did it for a bit of fun. At least, I found it funny. It's just that I'm usually so serious when posting on NG, that sometimes I like to mix things up a bit.

Who knows... A ton of people stop depositing. Who would have known HumanTarget52 and Shrapnel one day stop depositing daily? There's always a chance 43 people in front of you stop depositing one day or the other ;)

He's gonna need a bit more than 43 people to stop, just as I will need more than that as well, to regain and retain my rightful spot.

I don't even want my rightful spot, though. I just want somewhere in between where I am now at #64... and that spot (#3, most likely)....

I'll take #36. Happily. #;-}>

Yes. Enjoy it while it lasts. I speak of the tough and trying times of the folk in the top 100.... to inspire those NOT in the top 100 to not take their situations for granted, while they last (presuming daily deposits, of course.... otherwise, the situation will last forever!).

Yeah, it's like me climbing up B/P ranks now, but 10x harder.

Bedn made Retrogade in the first place.... why couldn't Bedn remake it?

Because he was no longer the head of the site. I thought he'd still be at a lower status than SK.

You ruined it. Both with the non-caps text at the start.... and by repeating my "I'm afraid." COME UP WITH SOME ORIGINAL MATERIAL, DAGSNABBIT!

lol, we were fighting just like me and iscrulz regarding Disney.

Um.... yeah? I only started depositing every day in January 2003. I had about 900 exp around then, despite having been on the site for 1000 days, and thus should have had more than 10,000 exp.

I know that. I just took my EXP away from your EXP and calculated around how much EXP you probably had when I joined.

Don't think like that. I'm gunning for the top 50, because without that to motivate me, I would just stop spending time on Newgrounds. And that would be sad, wouldn't it?

Because he was no longer the head of the site. I thought he'd still be at a lower status than SK.

SK ditched RG over a year ago now, though, and has never said he's coming back. So why would you think SK is more likely to revive RG than JB is? O_o

False hopes for everyone who didn't know what was going on. Bedn announced TWO rankups incorrectly in LUL because of it, in fact, when in reality he just moved up once (the second time he thought he did, and even then to one higher rank, of course).

But it's over now. Whew....

Yes, but is it equally sad for EVERYone on NG? By that I mean.... is the thought of Coop never making it to the top 50 exp as sad or more sad or less sad than the thought of Vert never making it to the top 50?

Me, I've been motivated by my lack of top 50 expness since 2 thousand fuckin' 3. I'll be damned if I'm gonna stop till I get in there or even ONCE I get in there.

It's strange, but does everyone have these targets? Because I, personaly, don't have any targets whatsoever. None. Despite what I may have stated in previous posts. I mean, there aren't even reasonable targets for a person like myself (as I stated before, reaching the top 50 is nigh impossible), except to overtake one user or another, and where's the fun in that?

It most likely did make someone reach a milestone before they should have, but so far no one has reported such a thing. In any case, I miss Shrapnel. He's good fun, when he's around.

wow I can't believe that there are three users in the top 15 who are inactive right now.
I got a chance to pass one of these users if they stay inactive for at least 50 days... so that's about 2 months.

Tonight, it's Michelle Obama. And later in the week (apparently), Hillary Clinton herself. GASP.

I admit MO is hawt, Hillary lol fuck General PantSuits and her gay mullet.

I hope he gets Bill and Barack as well, or else it'll be feeling like a non-sausage party. AND WHO WANTS THAT.

I didn't see the others. Inform me. NOW. Yeah taco parties suck.

Oh wait, us guyz. #;-}>

Not me.

damn I need to get a dvr my dvd recorder can only record 2 hours at a time. I recorded that episode as well, the wag of the finger and threat down combo excellent. Damn you Richard Branson get Air Colbert in the AIR.
I only record a DVD or a VHS anymore if I want to save something for a good long time. Even on the DVR, I keep some things for a month or two. But mostly I delete after my gf and/or myself watch it.

Same here but I record on a DVD-R if I want to save it permanently Lost 08 is saved.

until someone/thing gets put on notice too.
Oh yes, the on notice.... and don't forget "Dead to me."

Never will I forget, Just like Stephen Jr never forgets hes a badass eagle.

If all four could come together... MAGIC.

oh wow its magic never believe its not so. The grand slam boy it will be the Democratic President

Well since ramagi updated monthly I reckon I will too, So you updated on March 19th I dost thinketh I will. Then someone will take over for me voluntarily.
Ah, so your whole plan is to take over the list updating, but never to actually do one before someone else decides to take on that role. SMART. #;-}>

Well I may have to do a few lists I will do it tonight so quote me on it up to # 117 lol not 500 yeah.

picked one off just 5 days ago going the windbag next.
The windbag? That could mean so many people. WHO IZ IT?

Its what double R calls the Wayne Colt.

Well I could but I will forget because by the time I get to 107 it will be 2009 late.
Unless you miss deposits, though, the only people who could possibly be ahead of you even in 2009... are people that I linked to a month ago. So your targets/competition/whatever are still all visible, waiting for you to check 'em out, should you want to. IT'S UP TO YOU.

Me miss deposits LAWL. I will yes chickty cheque dem out. New long-term target is humantarget52 although Sharpnel is back gulp.

Exactly. Me and Recon'll pass 'em, then a few months (er... years?) later you get to pass them, too.
I am here to clean the remains like the vulture that I am.

Everyone who's depositing because they want to actively increase their exp likely has something they're shooing for. Maybe they're not shooting for top 50, but maybe they're shooting for 10,000 exp.

Or for a certain level.

Or to pass someone specific, yes. You may find that particular one pointless, but it certainly motivates some.

If you think top 50 is impossible, then focus on top 100... or 20,000 exp... or something like that. A level icon. Pick yer fave that's still above you, and let that motivate you. :::shrugs:::
