And now, for teh replying to everything since I updated the list on Saturday night!

Thanks, Yoink. I noticed you got yourself banned by Saturday like two minutes after you posted the above post... did she ban you just for claiming to be friends with her? #;-}>

Yes, Denvish is going to bump you down to 10th place, but at least you'll still be in the top 10, eh? Good luck with your reviewing. 3600ish reviews isn't a bad number to be at, though. I'd certainly take it!

If you're past someone in total points, then you're past someone in total points. Just because you don't qualify yet for the new 2x10k form of the list doesn't mean your points don't add up to more than someone who IS on the list. #;-}>

After all, someone with 10,000 exp and 10,000 blams but 0 in all the other three stats... while they may be on the current form of the list, would you rather have that account, or the account of someone with 9000 in ALL FIVE STATS, eh? I'd take the latter.

Horray i was mentioned in the closeness ^.^, but it seems Quik may make it before me, NNOOOO he needs to slow down posting, or i'll do it FOR HIM :O

Yes yes, I told you I'd mentioned you in teh "closeness" as soon as you hit 9000 or at least got quite close to it... in a second stat. AND SO I DID! I held up my part of the bargain... now hold up YOURS, damnit. #;-}>

haha with the amount of points you have .... i think messing around with what you get is just fine, have fun :P

Yep. We'll see how things go.. I just hope I hit 22,222 saves by this weekend at the latest. Gotta get tons of saves on Friday/Saturday/Sunday. I didn't this past weekend, unfortunately, or I might already be near that mark. ;_;

Hahaha yes, and make Tom put it in the news so everyone on NG will GO WTF, and buy it, thus ... selling maybe ... 90 books :P

90 books, eh? Well, as long as I charge 100+ bucks for each one, sounds good.

haha i could get ahead of her again if i really wanted to ... but that'd take days like last saturday in which i got 100 posts in one day :\

So she's gonna quadlist before you doublelist?! FOR SHAME! Only not really. #;-}>

I bet she's just doing it to be quad listed, or well not JUST for that, but she definitely wants to be the first one to do that, and after she gets to 10,000, she'll slow down, just a theory though :\

Maybe she wants to get quadlisted NOW, but the main reason she started posting so much, I THINK, is that she got modded.

I remember when I got modded. The next two or three days I posted 100 posts per day. It was crazy. Fortunately it wore off quickly. It doesn't seem to have worn off for ramagi. She's on FIREEEEEEEEE! #;-}>

1776? Independence day ... i think, 1836? ... huh, hahahah 1969 XD, 1977 = wah
You think like ... everything is cool :P

1776 is the year of teh American independence, yes.

1836 is just nifty. 18 * 2 = 36 and 36 is my fave number, as you should well know.

1969 is another nifty year for reasons I don't need to go into, I think your hahahah XD covered it. 1977 = the year I was born, foo'!

That's not EVERYTHING. Pfft.

Let's see, I'll dig up some more examples since 2000 posts... of what *I* think is cool (Besides 2100, 2200, 2300, etc. etc.):

2010, 2112, 2222, 2345, 2436, 2442, 2468, 2525, 2669, 3131, 3333, 3456, 3669, 4321, 4444, 4567, etc. etc. etc.

Don't worry about getting passed or how slow you're moving overall, damnit! Just worry about getting triplelisted and then quadlisted and then pentalisted. You're likely to be the second person quadlisted after ramagi and the first pentalisted. You gotsta work on the saves, though! GET DEM SAVES, MAN! #;-}>

Well, your posts and your reviews aren't SUPERhigh, but they're both quite even with each other, and they're not exactly low, either, so that's all good... yes, your exp won't take very long at all, so your triplelistedness is at least assured.

They will as soon as you get your ass back on this list, eh wot? And by the time you make it back here, you can increase your rank even MORE, eh wot? See, that's the beauty part. STEALTHMODE it, baby. Get dem blams and exp up so when your postcount hits 10,000, you surprise all the people already on the list who're around your point total. You'll shock the hell out of them and put the FEAR OF GOD... er... I mean, BONUS... in 'em.

ahhaha yeah same here, then i'd have some decent numbers in reviews XD

And be close to pentalisted status, more importantly!

HHHEEYYYY after my speedy moving in posting over the last few weeks, i slowed down a painful amount :P, i mean like 20 over ... 4 days or something :D

I was actually trying to make some sort of vague joke about you "owing me special favours" for putting your name in the list update notes... but yes, you actually getting onto the list is another way to read "your part of the bargain" as well. Heh.

hahah 55,555 with 33,333 blams and 22,222 saves, my god gfox you have a lot of wants for SS' ;)

SS'?

Yeah ... Maus did that kind of too, once she got modded she gained like 4500+ in the course of her modship, but ramagi has outdown her by a long shot

Maus had more posts than ramagi did prior to being modded, too, though. I think something like 5000 versus 3000... or something. But yes, she ripped 10,000 wide open, didn't she.

hahahaaha well omg YOU = SPAMZOR a long time ago XD

It wasn't spam, damnit. It was tons of lock posts and ban posts and me actually being in General all day long. #;-}>

OH SNAP i never knew you were almost 3/10 of a WHOLE CENTURY old :P

OGM.

2010, 2112, 2222, 2345, 2436, 2442, 2468, 2525, 2669, 3131, 3333, 3456, 3669, 4321, 4444, 4567, etc. etc. etc.

2010 for the fact it is 20 and 10?
2112 palendrome right?, 2222 = obvious, 2345 = obvious, 2436, something to do with 36, probably 2*2 and 3*2 = why, 2525 = obvious, 2669, not so sure, 3131 = obvious, 3333 same, 3669 GOTTA LOVE THREES, 4321 WELL DUH, 4444 *cough* 4567 *shmoof*

No, 2010 as in the book. 2001, 2010, 2061, 3001... it's a series of four sci-fi books by Arthur C. Clarke.

Surely you know of 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of teh classic-est films of all time. It had a sequel, 2010, featuring that dude from Seaquest DSV. hahahaha.

Damn, but I can't remember that dude's name. Ah well.

Anyway, you pretty much pegged the rest.

Web Pentalist Mark XIV is uploaded and available.

Update on the pentalist's progress in the NG FanNet:

42. NG 2x10k+ PENTALIST gfoxcook 27 46

Again, 27 IN votes is a new record! The IN votes for the past several weeks were: 24 22 18 16 17.

For the second week in a row, the PentaList hasn't fallen off the front page (top 50) of the fannet, and that is tres cool. Good job, all who helped!

In other news, I actually caught up on the ENTIRITY OF WI/HT? (well, except for a lot of little topics, but even there, I read and replied to quite a few earlier today)... PLUS, I'm probably going to hit 22,222 saves tomorrow or Monday (I fudged a bit on the update, so sue me! #;-}>). It's a GREAT WEEKEND FOR TEH GFOX ON NGNESS. ENJOY THE LIST UPDATE, PEOPLES!

Well I waited for you to post this, I even saved a post for you.
I'll be enjoying more of my time away from Ng today(Sunday). Last post till Monday for me.
yea I try to rember to vote on on your fan net, I porbably could do it more, if I remember.
My blams and Saves got past the 2 to one ratio barley. It has been hanging around that ratio for the last several weeks. Ah well.

It's magical. Didn't I tell you Julie Andrews would make everything better!

Nicely done. I'm closing fast on 16,000 saves myself so let's see if I can nail them by the next pentalist. On a sad note I saw MPA is roughly 4,000 points from catching me. I'm on borrowed time with regards to my position in the number 3 spot. ** cries ** Thanks for another great update gfox!!

By the way, didn't I see a post in here by BonusStage? Why was it deleted?

MPA had a surprisingly low total this past week. That should give you a bit of relief and relaxation for the time being, eh?

I recall something along those lines, yes. I thought you were high/drunk/____ while you said it, though. #;-}>

Like I said, normally he catches up to you much quicker than he has lately, so... temporary reprieve!

By the way, didn't I see a post in here by BonusStage? Why was it deleted?

The post by Bonus is still there! However, I originally replied to ramagi because she was the only one who'd replied so far, and then I saw Bonus' post, and I wanted to end on 8269 tonight, so I pasted my reply to her back into notepad, deleted it from the topic, and typed up my reply to Bonus on top of it. And this time I checked prior to posting again and discovered YOUR reply as well, so now I'm repeating the replying-on-top. :::refreshes one last time before posting this hulking mass of a post!:::

Well then... that spells doom for Bob and Nemesis, eh? Good show, ol' chap!

What happened with ONE single review that got you down on reviewing?

I can't find it, was it to like ... get there gardually about posting or what :(,

You mean my original comment? I had just said something along the lines of "yeah, Bonus, I stuck you in the "almost there" section... so when are you going to hold up YOUR end of the bargain, eh? #;-}>" (that was my attempt to hint at sexual favours you owed me, damnit. Way to let that fly over your head. Heh.)

Screenshot

Ah yes. What, Screenie isn't short enough for ya, you gotta use SS? SS makes me think of the German secret police in WWII and Seven Star and several other things before I think of screenshot. heh.

Anyway, the 33333/22222 goal isn't just about a screenshot. I already forged one of it, for one thing. It's about showing OTHER people an authentic AWESOME B/P COMBO for a change (last time I really had one was 6000/6000), and it's also about getting my blam/save ratio to 150% for at least one shining moment one last time. ;_;

DEFINITELY, i mean hey, those chicks just can't keep their mouths shut it seems :o

Oh my.... Only Maus doesn't swing that way, IIRC, so... um... better luck elsewhere?

hahah i know comparing ago to century makes people just go ;_; and get all emo XD

Not really. I definitely realised I was going to be 1/4 of a century when I was 24 and almost 25.

But I'm 27 going on 28 next month. That's not QUITE yet to 3/10 of a century. And who notices 3/10 of things, anyway? Once I'm almost 33.333 it's time to make another big fuss. #;-}>

3 decades old is how I'd phrase it, anyway.

well i've never seen 2010 or the DSV movie :'(

But you've seen the original 2001 at least?

I was referring to the DSV TV series. A shortlived, hilariously bad undersea-adventures hour-long sci-fi/drama. Kinda like Sealab 2021, only not trying to be stupid. #;-}>

HORRAY, i am smart :D

FOR NOW.

Why thank you! Happy 9300 posts.

I'll be enjoying more of my time away from Ng today(Sunday). Last post till Monday for me.

Enjoy a day away from TEH MADNESS, then! I'm going to be trying to rack up as many saves as I can tomorrow. I gotsta hit 22,222 soon or I'm gonna go crazy. ;_;

yea I try to rember to vote on on your fan net, I porbably could do it more, if I remember.

Every single click is appreciated, even if it is just a SINGLE click, so don't worry too much!

My blams and Saves got past the 2 to one ratio barley. It has been hanging around that ratio for the last several weeks. Ah well.

Hmph... My blams are still more than 1.5 : 1 with my saves, but once I hit 22,222 saves, I'll have EXACTLY 1.5 : 1 or 3 : 2. I can't wait! Sadly, of course, if I resume blamming at that point, I'm likely to go way past that ratio in no time. Heh.

...

Anyway, one last thing about the fannet for tonight:

I'm thinking maybe I should hold off on posting updates until at least midnight my time (1 AM NG time) in the future, because I happened to revisit the fannet page and I noticed it was at 30 IN / 46 OUT (whereas it was 27 IN / 46 OUT when I posted about the update)... meaning 3 IN clicks are pretty much wasted, as the numbers are about to (or just have) reset. ;_;

... Anyway, I'll give some thought to doing that, but still updating the data on the list prior to Saturday's end, NG time. Hmmm... :::mulls that over and logs off of teh BBS:::

Have a great weekend and enjoy the list update and so forth and so on, everybody! May you gain many saves on the same movies as I am this jolly savioring weekend (237373, 237374, 237375, and 237376 were ALL saves... can you believe it? And I thought 37 was my unlucky number. Maybe not. #;-}>)

GOODNIGHT, all!

nice work with the update gfox!

I was actually decently active this week. I put up a few numbers for posts/reviews... mostly put up numbers for blams/saves... closing in on the experience requirement for the next level. It seems XwaynecoltX really doesn't gain that many saves as he use to back in the day... maybe when he's done with school for the summer he'll go all out for them. When he does, look out! there will be the first pentalisted user. Denvish averages about a +1,000 gain per week... if he continues like this for about a year he'll make 100,000 total easily. I think more people should go and try for more reviews, they are really fun once I get into a grove in making them.

~X~

When I went for saves back before I was an EGSC user... I averaged about 100 saves per week. If you get 100 saves per week then it will only take about 25 weeks to get to 10k saves which is about half a year.

Um..... it sure aint no cakewalk to get into this list. Tell me, how long can i expect to wait before i can see my name there?

How about a very long time Frostbreath. You need at least two stats at 10,000 or higher to have a shot at making the list. None of your stats are over 2,000 and while you might try increasing your chances there's a lot of people ahead of you that say otherwise. Don't mean to dishearten you but you did ask.

No, no need for excuses. I understand. Seeing that i have to deposit for another 840 times to get my experience over 10,000, doesn't make me think: ''Aw, crap, what's the use'', but ''Well, i better start trying hard now, if i ever going to have chance''.

You should type your reviews in notepad and then paste them to the review window later, if you're that worried about it happening again.

aawwwww of all things for me to let go above my head i let something sexual go above it *le sigh*

No kidding! I was quite disappointed. >_<

ahahah well i'm sorry, i guess i just use it for Star Syndicate and Screen Shot normally, never really anything else, sorry for confusing you :P

Not really. I definitely realised I was going to be 1/4 of a century when I was 24 and almost 25.

Why yes i did

Oy... he DID indeed ask, Recon... and I thank you muchly for handling his question yesterday, as I noticed it before you replied while logging in as gfoxclock to post in just two threads, but... didn't want to get into a long explanation/prediction of various stats of his and their chances to hit 10,000 anytime soon.

So yes, thanks for briefly letting him down easy.

That's quite the refreshing attitude, man. I've seen people with one stat over 10,000 and another stat around 5,000 acting like they can NEVER make it onto this list, so your can-do spirit is remarkable and enjoyable to see.

That said, let me add something to what Recon told you:

Don't focus on getting your experience over 10,000. Don't stop depositing or anything, of course, but that's going to take YEARS to do, so... if it gets to 10,000 because you stick around here for years, then that's great. But if you DO want to get on this list and you'd rather not wait forever, then you've got four other areas to attack:

A) blams. This would be the easiest stat of all time to get to 10,000. You don't have a TON of them, but you have nearly 2000, so you can get them to 10,000 a lot sooner than your exp gets there.

B) saves. This would be harder for most people, but you've actually got quite the good ratio of blams to saves. You can get this to 10,000 as well, though it will take longer than the blams due to the crappiness ratio of the portal 300+ days of the year.

C) posts. I'm not advising you to spam, but based on your postsperday and postcount, if you remain an active member of the NG BBS, you can eventually hit 10,000 in this stat.

D) reviews. OR, you can opt for the challenging, but far-more-rewarding path of teh XwaynecoltX--try to review 10,000 of the nearly 60,000 movies and games in the NG portal.

I wish you luck! I recommend you keep depositing but try for an A+B combo to get on this list. C+D involve more time and doing either incorrectly can get you banned (for a few days from posting... but for a few MONTHS from reviewing)... so exercise caution and good judgement.

This ain't Dogma's EGRL, man. I don't give out stars for 1000+ per week, so what would it have mattered? #;-}>

I think you beat MPA and maybe even Denvish last week, so you've got that, right?

Ouch

Heh well cant say ill make that much maybe i will dont know, hell i could do more but i do plan on making more time for saves and protects...

I never noticed it before but your posts are really starting to confuse the hell out of me, do you know whay this is...?

Mmm. I like to think of myself as a janitor - keeping the portal clean by voting out the bad things. ^_~ Well, seriously, what I should really measure myself against is not the save percentage of all submissions, but rather that of those submissions that happen when I'm on to vote on them; I thought about doing that briefly for a while, but it'd be quite a hassle to track them really.

He's already to 22240 or so, and I'm down at 22122 or so. He's gotten a 120+ save lead on me. I don't care so much about that, but I'd already be to 22222 and could restart blamming if I had saved as much the past two weeks as he has. And he was worried I'd catch up to him again during his exams last week. Pfft. #;-}>

*noddles* Well, at least he probably won't come anywhere near you in terms of total points anytime soon... ^_~

Wolves and foxes are the downtrodden of teh canine community, yes. The former has a bloodthirsty pack-mentality reputation and the latter has a sneaky-crafty-evil-chicken-snatcher reputation. #;-}>

*noddles* Which just reaffirms my opinion that most people are idiots. >_> Oh well.

How on earth did we get onto the subject of foxes and wolves and bats, anyway. I claimed to be a vampire and you added that + fox being in my username together, I believe? Ahhhhhhh, off-topic wanderings.... how easily they happen.

Something like that, I think, yes. I don't recall, but I probably made some comment about flying foxes. ^_~

Just for the hell of it. And to be able to see whether a site is pushing traffic more to NG... or NG is pushing traffic more to the site. Most sites are the latter, as is my pentalist unfortunately... but some sites are the former, at least for periods of time.

*noddles* I'm not surprised it's like that, though. Someone who arrives at the FanNet may well decide to check out a bunch of sites that sound interesting (and thus give them OUT votes), but I doubt many people bother giving IN votes to many sites really. It's the integrated hub-like nature of the listing that makes OUT votes more likely than IN votes, I think.

I have. :) I've gained 38 spots since D0GMA's last update (from 130 to 92 ^^), and with a bit of luck, I should be able to move further up, too. ^_^

Groooveeeeeeeeehhhhhh.

Thanks. ^_^ I actually went up to 89 last week for a day or two, then slipped back to 90 for a while, and am now back at 89. I'm not sure what happened (I haven't checked), but it may be that I got ahead of/fell back behind PimpMasterKDOG a couple of times. He currently seems to be behind me again, but not by a big margin. >_>

As yes... CSV... I think I should have known that. Seems very... naggingly familiar now, like I learned once and promptly forgot. #;-}>

You probably heard about it somewhere in the past - it's quite common really. ^^

Does that mean that such a file has absolutely no spaces or linebreaks in it? Just data + commas?

More or less, yeah. There are some variations, mostly dealing with how you handle data that contains commas itself; the most common approach seems to be to put that data into double quotes. It's not immediately clear, though, how you're supposed to handle linebreaks in double quotes then - do you ignore their special meaning and just treat them like any another character (because you're in a double-quote), or do they take precedence and terminate the current line (thus probably causing a syntax error of sorts)? It really depends on whether you fundamentally view a CSV file as a bunch of lines or a stream of characters, I guess.

As for spaces, I think those are allowed just fine.

Said data can include nothing but numbers and decimal points, I presume?

No, you can really put anything in there - the parser is (should be) agnostic regarding what's between the commas (except for the case of commas in data, as explained above).

Belated congrats on 33333/22222/55555, too, BTW! ^_^ As I mentioned over in the lounge, I was rather sick recently (still am, too, in a way), so I didn't post anything and didn't follow the threads, either. >_>

Well it may look like I will get on the list by exp (300 days) and Blams nearly 2,000 more to go. But I never know I could get into a spamming mode and gain 50 post PPD but most likely not.

It wasn't fully answered to, i had Alastor delete it and then posted the rest of it :D

Why didn't you just ask ME?

Probably because Alastor shaves his ass every day and you don't. Sorry gfox, couldn't resist.

I occasionally think about the users that are one deposit away from level nine. Can you imagine what goes through their minds when they see the point increment jump from fifty to almost one thousand? Aside from their heart stopping I bet one of the first thoughts they have is the system must be broken (lol). You have to be really determined nowadays to level up an account.

A) blams. This would be the easiest stat of all time to get to 10,000.

Understatement of the century! Blams and saves are the best (and easiest) way to get PentaListed and maintain your rank on the list. ** holds on to the number 3 spot with white knuckles **

If it's any consolation ~X~ I'd gladly trade all my protection points for all your reviews. You've already gotten the most difficult stat out of the way bud. Most people will never hit 10,000+ reviews with their account unless they stay active. If I was you I'd relax, have a beer and try picking up points in the other categories. I've got money riding on this ~X~ so don't let me down!!

A lot of people won't reach 10k reviews because it's not easy to review so many movies... there can be some negativity that effects a person's motivation.... it's really all about motivation. Sometimes I feel much better about reviewing after I take a shower or if I eat a good meal. It makes it easier to stay focused. But, you have to think about it this way too.. a person isn't limited to the amount of reviews he or she can make per day... hopefully it stays that way and the same can be said about bbs posts I think... but I'm not sure because I don't post as frequent as some people do.
