Egad. I'm up to 456, and I'm going out of town tomorrow morning, so I'll probably wait till late in the week, or even the weekend, to review again. Probably jump up to 468 at that point (been reviewing in 12 review spurts lately... from 420 to 432 to 444 to 456... gotta dig those nifty numbers!). 500 isn't too far away for me any longer.
heh all those 12's you know what for some reason whenever there is a number needed to be given, or if i don't know the answer in Math i say 12, not sure why but i just realised i've done it for years now :\
12 is a damned cool number!
12 x 2 = 24, which is the number of hours in a day.
12 x 3 = 36, which is my fave number.
12 x 4 = 48, which is the number of hours in TWO days (go figure, eh?!)
12 x 12 = 144, which is a gross. How cool a number is a "gross," eh?!
And... this is a little-known fact.... 12 itself... is... A DOZEN. Cool, eh? #;-}>

The problem is that too many people are under the mistaken impression that if HT and Pimp were tied in exp, HT would be the only level 30, because he signed up first. But that is blatantly and obviously untrue to ANYONE who has seen them both possessing level 30, as many of us have.
Myself being one of them who has seen it =O.
It seems that everytime this happens. threads in General start sprouting out of everywhere saying OMG! PIMPS A LEVEL 30!
See? Then you should be behind combating the misinformation and ignorance as much as me and RedCircle and other Wi/Ht?ers are, man.
If everyone knew everything that was going on with the level system and the level 30 system and how sometimes NG's system gets delayed by late-in-the-day deposits by HT, especially for two days in a row, then perhaps topics such as that wouldn't happen (until Pimp actually passes or ties HT, at least), and additionally we wouldn't have topics like "why is the exp I need for the next level going up!?!?!?" and shit like that, either.
I only said 'everybody knows what he meant', because I figured SINCE he was a regular, he knew...
Like I said, regulars and newbies alike often hold mistaken concepts about NG's workings.
Don't get me started on how many regulars don't know how review mods and admins work, or the whistle system itself (to the extent that we're allowed to know about it, that is).
Maybe I shouldnt have, but Im next to positive that he does, it's mainly the nooblets that have the problems.
That's an ignorant opinion in itself, man. There are far more newbies around at any given time than regulars, but the chances of a reg being misinformed are just as high as the chances of a newbie being ignorant. And which is worse? Someone who simply doesn't know how something works and asks? Or someone who THINKS they know how something works, but is wrong, and goes around telling everyone incorrect info?
Like all the regs who go around pasting the FAQ's incorrect b/p rank info, for example.
To me, that's worse.

AlexSmolik will soon join the triple ranks.
Yep. Poxpower would have had I not split b/p into two categories, because he was heading for 10k exp, 10k b/p, and 10k posts, but now he's gonna be doublelisted with 10k exp, 10k posts, and stuck with <10k blams and <10k saves since he dosen't like b/ping. Ah well.
No one will ever get to 10k in all 5 categories
(buzzer) How can you say that? I'm sure some people last year would say "no way will there ever be 10+ EGSCs!" but that day will arrive in a few weeks.
As jonthomson pointed out immediately after your post, XwaynecoltX WILL make 10k in all 5, if he continues along as he is now, gaining all 5 types of stats. He'll hit 10k reviews first, then 10k blams, then 10k exp, then 10k posts, then 10k saves, IMO. Perhaps saves before posts. Depends on how motivated he is in different areas.
Who'll be first to get to 10k in 4/5? My bets are on Alexsmolik or Pox, just as it was before you split up the b/p. Though Pox needs a fair amount of blams and saves.
Pox doesn't blam and save anymore, as I just alluded to. He will never get 4/5. His only chance for getting to 3/5 is reviewing 10k, in fact, since he's so strongly opposed to b/p.
Anyway, I can't say who will be first, but I know one thing... I'm well over 10k in blams and saves, and I'm about the same amount away from 10k in posts and exp. I expect that by the time I hit 10k exp sometime in mid-late 2005, I will also have hit 10k posts or will soon thereafter. I shall definitely be a quadlisted person, the only question is... who will get there first in the coming 12 months, give or take 2 months. Xwayne certainly can be first if he puts his mind to it. Joe or alex or ramagi or Bila could, as well.
This is one list I know I'll never get onto heh, unless I hit 10k exp which would be in like 1 year and a half.
That's not that far off. Keep in mind that the list may have changed in requirements by then, though. Who knows.
