Yeah but your review stat is a LOT higher than that of other people, over 1,000 and you're some kind of super reviewer I reckon.

Thanks for that - I just try to review stuff that I like when I can. It gives me pleasure, though not in that way, Greg!

hmm, at least it makes your stats look better (for me anyway), you on the other hand, it just goes with your other stats.

Yeah, but it's the poor cousin of the other stats, though :P

DoD?

He means Dream-of-Duke

hmmm he seems like a very ambitious sort of person, its a shame he'll never get #1 as it seems HIGHLY unlikely.

It's not a shame at all. If you're going to aim for something, make sure it's doable - my parents never pushed me when I was a kid as I'd never amount to the goal of being a professional footballer. They encouraged me with my Maths and English and here I am, trying to make a living from writing stories and studying to be an accountant.

Well, the way I see things is that a consistent pace is better than a sporadic pace. DoD has the feeling that he was incredibly secure with his pace of B/P and he continued to lord it over me. He went to China for about 3 months and suddenly couldn't get online there, because of China's ban on most things fun.

I'm sporadic did you notice?

Yeah, it did crop up a little :P

While the hare was sleeping under the tree, the tortoise continued to plot along in his metronomic way and eventually passed the Hare.

Hehe, best metaphor for the situation, makes you seem very wise :P

I'm a tortoise, not an Owl :P

I make no bones about it, I am no hare in this Reviews race. My pace is sporadic, so far as I try to get at least 1 review completed every day, but with varying results.

If Aci6 passes me, he passes me. I'm out there with my own agenda on Reviews... it's been a while since I reported a milestone on Reviews though... Better get to 1,111!

I should pass you within a month given my chances in getting on line, most of my reviews are done of a night time as its normally the only good chance I get online.

I pass more people than pass me, so it's still good.

I find it somewhat hard to review crap, you have no idea what to say :P

I don't go for reviewing spam flash. I used to for Afro_Stud's Adolf Hitler / Pokemon flash, but now I concentrate more on the submissions from the Review Request Club and the occasional one that I like in the portal - got a response for Messed up Bible Stories 4 yesterday, so it's all good.

I can see what you mean when you say you review stuff you like.

If you liked it, show people why you did. Simple.

And Greg? wtf?

it's gfoxcook - if ever he does a catchup here, he'll take the line "it gives me pleasure" in completely the wrong way.

Yeah, but it's the poor cousin of the other stats, though :P

I don't think so, I mean it takes a lot more to watch a flash and then sit down and actually review it rather than voting on the portal or writing posts... I think it makes the profile look more sophisticated ... :x

Ever seen some of the posts I've written? I can easily spend 20 minutes writing a post, which is the time I could have taken to write about 5 reviews, especially audio ones ;)

I guess, he's TOO ambitious then if anything.

Definately. Oh and that he keeps rubbing it in that he's going to beat me, as he will live longer than me.

And short stories?

Yeah, I've written a few bits and pieces over my time. The latest thing I did was a script for a Flash movie - I just need to find people to animate it, because I'm not that sort of creative person. All of these visions around my head and no means of getting it made, as I don't have the patience or ability to do it in Flash.

I pass more people than pass me, so it's still good.

I noticed on the list that if you can get 2000 reviews you're within the top ten or there abouts.

Yeah, that would be nice, but I've just got to take every review as it comes.

I kind of get the feeling that most of the people who have over 1,000 reviews slows down... not me though, I'd like to hit 2,000 as soon as I can...
being sporadic too of course.

Ah, proceeding over towards 2,000 Reviews with one of the Silly Walks from Monty Python's Flying Circus.

I already announced this in the other reviewers list topic: I am going to quit updating these things. Reason is that my real life is way too busy at the moment and I prefer to spent the little spare time that I have left with friends and family (doesn´t mean that I am going to retire from NG completely, I just won´t be around that often).

So if there is anyone here who would like to take over, just sent me a PM and I´ll see if I can sent some files to you that you might need.

Oh. I have to admit, I don't usually check the Audio reviewers list, but I looked at the last two pages of the thread and I have to say, I'm very disappointed to hear you giving up these lists. However, I understand you're doing this in favour for real life and that's fine.

So if there is anyone here who would like to take over, just sent me a PM and I´ll see if I can sent some files to you that you might need.

Unfortunately, I'm not up to taking over the Top Reviewers List. I mean, I'm already taking care of four stat lists already and the last thing I want right now is having to take care of yet another list. However, I'll keep checking this thread for new replies and see if anyone is willing to take over the Top Reviewers List.

Thank you very much for making the Top Reviewers updates for the last three years and I appreciate all the work you've done to make the updates. Also, I will welcome you back to making these updates if you feel you're up to doing them again. Again, thanks Auz!

I hate to hear that you are passing the torch but i understand your reasons for it,i would take over but i'm afraid i as well am quite busy with friends,family and work to keep up with such things but i would really apprciate anyone who will take over this task.

What?
Stopping with that awesome list you say.
That's not good because your updates and stuff are really good.
I think i can't take over because i have no idea how it works to update the list and i am quite busy with school atm.

Oh hell yeah.

I review a lot of heavier flash so it evens out, occasionally I'll find a series and watch it from Episode 1 to question mark.

I think that if you like the series, you deserve to get the reviews sorted for them - a mark of your respect for the author.

Ever seen some of the posts I've written? I can easily spend 20 minutes writing a post, which is the time I could have taken to write about 5 reviews, especially audio ones ;)

Yes!

These posts are not what I'm referring to - some of the conversations between myself, gfoxcook and Bahamut in the other stat lists tend to be where that occurs :P

I saw your post on a Dark Knight thread and the maker stated that he wasn't cutting Heath Ledger slack because he was dead, you stated 'just as well, he was alive when he did the role'.

I thought that was incredibly witty.

That's only stating the truth. Part of my English sense of humour :P

Definately. Oh and that he keeps rubbing it in that he's going to beat me, as he will live longer than me.

If Newgrounds lives that long... :/

That's as maybe, but I think there aren't many things that can stop something like this now. Not even Emperor Palpatine could stop this if he so wished.

This is the part of the post that took the most thought from me:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *drops to knees*

Alas, but my life is just too crowded to take on a fourth list at present. I just hope that someone is willing to take this over and that they are capable of doing it half as good as you are.

We will miss your updates, but thanks for all of them, it's been a blast!

No?

Then why are you still here?!

You still spend a bit of time on those other posts, how often do you even happen to go on the General Board?

General?! Why would I want to go back and hang there - people don't appreciate my posting style on that board, so I stick to the proper forums - Wi/Ht; Clubs & Crews and the occasional jaunt to Video Games, Politics and Flash.

Yeah, just live in the present without worrying about the future.

I take each day as it comes and live for fun, which is something that a surprising amount of people forget how to do in this day and age.

And Emperor Palpatine? Is that... is that Star Wars?

Yes, it is Star Wars - one of the greatest film series ever, despite what Bahamut says about it!

Well, let's hope that he's actually had a choice to make. I'm not sure about you saving the day, per se, as we've got to wait to see what the update looks like first of all, haven't we.

Don't kill the list, if you do take over. Please.

Lol j/k but as for this list updating I don't care about it maybe in 2 years I will.

I will probably ranked 23rd. Hey Oh.

Just to let you guys know, I´ve left the list in the hands of Dew. So he´s gonna be your new updater from now on. I´m not sure when he´s exactly gonna do an update, he hasn´t mentioned a date to me yet, so.. I guess we´ll just have to see. I just assume he will drop by in a while and announce his first update.

A mistake I spotted. I went up by 21 reviews on the previous update, so really, I gained nothing on this update. However, the mistake is understandable.

I look forward to your next update.

Wow, awesome that you took over the list Dew!
Good update i hope you update every week.

That´s a pretty good looking update there Dew :) A few minor mistakes, but that´s okay. You did great for your first update.

Oh and to all people who are saying that their totals are wrong: The file that I sent to Dew wasn´t the latest update, but the update before (#142). Reason for that was that I lost the file of the 143rd update because of a computer crash. It saved Dew a lot of time to ignore that update, so that´s why Bahamut for example has +21 while he didn´t write any reviews lately :)

Add Star Wars to your list of need to watch movies. He is Emperor Palpatine for the duration of the trilogy. We're talking the classic ones from '77, '80 and '83 here.

Oh right then, I've just watched a couple of movies here and there but I've never really gotten engrossed in the whole Star Wars universe.

Probably never will now.

It's a classic trilogy, but the three prequels aren't exactly groundbreaking - they wouldn't have been back in '77, to be honest. I'd still recommend that you watch it.

I posted in the thread when asked all people on the list to, what happened was that he deleted about 4 places and I think I may have been there.

You're on the new one - I thought that the big gap one was from shadowchaotailsevil3

I really think that List Posters should either have an edit button or preview button so everything looks right when they hit 'post it.'

List posters are the same as everyone else - we don't get special privileges or anything like that. We need to make sure that we do these voluntary jobs correctly first time. I've mentioned to sonofkirk to check it through with his News Post function if he's unsure.

The latest version isn't bad at all.

I find it all very interesting though, the idea of this 'force' and its set a long time ago and not in the future which adds an interesting question.

The thing I find amusing about that is that they are so far away and it's so long ago, yet they all seem to speak perfect American.

Whats that?

When you go into your profile and click 'Make a News Post', which every users can do. Of course, once they've made the dummy post, they can go into the account options to delete said post, as it's just for a test, really.

Nest thing?

Just thought I'd mention that I came across a user who has 1385 flash reviews and noticed he wasn't on the list. Although this user has written a lot of poor reviews, he still has enough to be on the list. Infact, he's got more reviews than I have.
