I've got myself beat, Bahamut. Last time, if you recall, I mentioned I had to thank you for 6 straight updates I didn't catch-up during... the time before, it was 5 straight.

THIS TIME... it's TEN.

So... yeah. Thanks for 10 updates. O_O

WOOT!

This update is an hour later since Daylight saving has ended in Britain. Not sure when it happens for the Americans, but I'm going by my time and I started pulling the stats at 8:30PM.

I think it was 1 week later for us. We're starting to experiment with ending it one week later and starting it three weeks earlier (or something like that), these past two years. MOAR SUNLIGHT IN TEH P.M. FTWs.

One last thing, congrats to Coop on reaching the top 50 B/P! He's been aiming to get there for a long time now and he's finally there!

Yay, Coop! Congrats.

On American television, we get a whole week of Halloween. Not that every single show does a Halloween ep every season, but... most do, and since they're usually on on their regular nights that week as it's nothing super-schedule changing like Thanksgiving and Christmas are... boom, a week of Halloween on TV, at least.

Yeah, gfoxclock had 8 blams one day recently, I was totally shocked. Then I realised "oh wait, this used to happen all the time on my main, I just never noticed too much because I was active in both blamming and saving".... but because I only blam with gfoxclock while I only save with gfoxcook, and since I get 1 or 2 saves every week with -clock, it was stunning to see 8 at once on a day I hadn't done any voting beyond depositing. For a moment or two, at least. #;-}>

Ouch. Rem indeed has little time to enjoy his spoils of war. On the plus side, courtday's passage of me was cancelled out by my getting back in front of Bonus, which is actually impressive since he's clearly getting points about as much as me, as of late. WOWZA. 2 save cushion!

Oh and Idiot-Finder has been suspended by Malachy from the investigation into the illegal voting drugs. Poor guy, I just went outside with NEVR to find him walking aimlessly around the park. A good job he wasn't on the streets, or he might have ended up under a bus.

I told him I was taking a walk but he didn't believe me because of the bruises I received from that fight in Houston, I wonder if gfoxcook's car was insured...

In one of the posts in that thread, you seemed to suggest that it was, but not for explosions, and thus... I was screwed. GEE THANKS.

I have no idea if my car is insured from explosions, actually.

He didn't answer my question about that girl, who is she and why did she have pink hair? Hair dye? But then again she have pink pupils...wtf?

Oh, he's pretty much too fast. Been outgaining you by 1.5 or 2x the past two updates since your above post. He was an epic b/per back in the '03-'04 days. i.e. my golden age of b/ping. And he's back with a vengeance. I thought he'd pass me in 2004 or 2005... took him till 2008, but now he's gonna do way more than just pass me... he's... movin' on up.

gfox likes to talk about old updates he didn't comment on, but that's what he gets for heavy dosage on Steam. XD

I talked about old updates in list threads I frequent way before I'd even heard of Steam, let alone started using it this year. #;-}>

Fun Fact: I played some TF2 matches with gfox yesterday. It was awesome! :D

AND AGAIN TODAY. Just a couple hours after your above post, it seems.

However, this ruined my goal, which was to get 7,000 Blams with 8,000 Saves. Whatever, the more, the better.
It's problems like this that tell me to be careful when I get close to my final B/P goals. I'd hate to go over 40000 blams or 37777 saves!

Indeed. Good thing cleared flags don't tend to produce saves. I know technically they can, but ever since the portal mod temporary situation was axed, it's pretty rare for Wade to manually unflag something and allow protection points to all who tried to save it before it was wrongly flagged, right? At least, it used to be.

I don't think gfoxcook got any saves when gfoxclock got the 8 blams recently. But anyway, I'll be approaching my retirement goal very slowly as well, even though it's just a save goal, and I don't have to worry about overshooting on blams, which is far more likely.

Anyway, if it's on hold, how about summarising how things are going for me, eh? With 10 updates and like 15 pages to catch-up on, I didn't read all your posts, just some of 'em. Sorry, man. ;_; Take pity on me, please!

You might well be wrong there, I'm back home for Christmas as of today, and hence there will be little time for B/P. On top of that I'm at my girlfriends from the 28th Dec to the 13th Jan, and I'll have no connection at all during that period, so if you haven't caught me by then you certainly will do.

Well, it would be a nice Xmas present, but I think that my pace might take a small hit over the holiday, as on Sunday I've been conscipted for a 450 mile round trip to Avebury, which is going to be completely boring for me.

I'm beginning to think that you need to spend less time on Newgrounds and more time paying attention in math class. My 7 year old may be able to answer this.....class what's 75 x 7?? That would be 525. You would have needed 6 more points.

That's a sad indictment of the British Education system, I'm afraid. Both Maths and English are lacking there - I think Gagsy meant "Lol, now how many more points would I have needed..?"

We can't spend any more money on Education, because we have none - our banks lost it all during the credit crunch :(

The US education system isn't much better. I will almost bet that when my kids and I move to Vancouver they will both be put back a grade. Vancouver is one of the top 4 school districts in the world (the US didn't even fall in the top 100).

I'm super cranky this morning after not sleeping well last night and being sick the entire weekend I was supposed to get a 15 page paper done. I'll have to settle for a "B" in the class, which I can live with. Sorry if my comments came off the wrong way.

I have to admit that it's nice to see that I'm still managing to get about 4 or so ranks per week to my name despite not being nearly as active on the portal as I used to be this time last year or so, yesterday notwithstanding in which I got about 3 days worth. Methinks, though, it'll be quite some time before anyone in the top 200 will need to worry about me chasing after them.

Anyway, if it's on hold, how about summarising how things are going for me, eh? With 10 updates and like 15 pages to catch-up on, I didn't read all your posts, just some of 'em. Sorry, man. ;_; Take pity on me, please!

I've been in hiding for the last two weeks, what happened is that I saved a woman from couple of muggers and after she ask me who I am I told her that I just got lost and that I needed a place to stay. She let me into her house for a while to return the favor, the pink hair girl isn't the only anime character that have somehow end up in our universe, that woman is Frau Bow.

I didn't bother to ask her.

This is a rare post for me recently. I have been so busy and that trend will continue. I am going to be relatively inactive on NG for the rest of December but here is my catch-up post.

Thanks for the heads-up, but noo excuses needed.


I think I'll be fine, but I'm saying this now just incase and to prevent anyone from going "WAAAAAAAAH WHY HASN'T BAHAMUT DONE THE UPDATE YET?!?!" right here. I know most of you aren't like that, but a certain someone is, especially from last time when I clearly said I was taking a weekend break in London.

As Coop said, "the anti Dream-of-Duke precaution". I love it as well.

Looks like I have some heavy pressure coming up on me. My pace is going to stay pretty low for the rest of December as I have interviews, holiday festivities, and just numerous things that need to be addressed while I am home. I have not gained a rank in over two weeks due to the big gap that existed but I will finally be gaining a rank or two due to inactivity, assuming I can hold off my competition.

I couldn't agree more. For Christmas and New Year, I'd rather spend my time with my family and friends than to collect B/P from the portal. I may have had my Christmas spirit torn apart by my dad, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see others in my family for Christmas and the new year.

It is impossible to disagree with this. Sorry to hear about your father but even when life gets difficult, it is important to realize how much you have. You (and I) are fortunate that we have families but even if you do not, go donate your time to charity or help those who are less fortunate then yourself. The Christmas spirit should last all year-round.

Fair enough. And may I give you a suggestion? Do bi-weekly updates during this time. I mean, not everyone will be around, including myself. So why keep updating every week?

What a lame pace! But that's due to my ISP problems. They were doing their regular maintenance, and they sorta "extended" it. But's it's back now, much better than before. I could barely deposit! But, luckily, I didn't miss any deposits. DID YOU HEAR THAT, CORKY?? =P

It's a shame you never got round to finishing that blog. I was really looking forward to it. If you wish to drop it, that's fine. Also, sorry to hear about your ISP problems. :( I hope everything will be sorted soon.

Yeah, it's really shameful: I promised it, then I delayed, delayed, delayed... and it became obsolete, so I had to give it up.

As for the ISP problems... they got fixed, but with a plus! Now our connection is 1 Megabyte, not 600kb anymore. This is great, it's much better than before.

I'll write something about it, as soon as someone posts anything in my current blog. I mean, blog #24 (the gay number) can't go without a single comment, right? =P

Seems like I have a lot of catch-up to do in the other threads. I won't make a massive catch-up here because... why talking about old updates, when Bahamut presents us with a brand new one? =)
gfox likes to talk about old updates he didn't comment on, but that's what he gets for heavy dosage on Steam. XD

I doing this on the Regulars lounge, I have three updates to comment on. That's around... 6 pages of long posts. And I'm only halfway there, but, then again, I'm a lazy poster. =(

Fun Fact: I played some TF2 matches with gfox yesterday. It was awesome! :D

Greeeeat! I wish I had Steam so I could play it, but I'll only get it when I get a new computer. Nothing against this one, it's pretty good... but it's starting to have those "old computer problems". ~6 years and still running!

It's problems like this that tell me to be careful when I get close to my final B/P goals. I'd hate to go over 40000 blams or 37777 saves!

So that's your goal on B/P? I mean... when you reach that.... you'll just stop?

Thanks for the kind words and recognition. I'm really enjoying the time here at Newgrounds, and look forward to being SC by Oct 2009. I've also asked about joining the Elite Guard - my posting is a little light, but I'm catching up. Now that I have 15MB access both at the home office and the main office, I can really go through the Portal much quicker, and at pretty much any time. A little here, a little there, and abandoning sleep is the key to 70+ days.

Looking forward to some friendly competition - it's good for keeping us on our toes.

Take care, all - I'm sure there'll be more to come!

Are you serious? October '09? This is... MADNESS! But I wouldn't doubt it if you keep your current pace.

I've also asked about joining the Elite Guard - my posting is a little light, but I'm catching up.

Nice, I'm a member there too. And yeah, you only have 9 posts which is kinda rare to happen to someone who is level 19.

Now that I have 15MB access both at the home office and the main office, I can really go through the Portal much quicker, and at pretty much any time.

And I thought my 1MB connection was great... =P

A little here, a little there, and abandoning sleep is the key to 70+ days.

Wait, abandoning sleep? That's too much dedication in my opinion. I wouldn't trade my sleep for a night on Newgrounds, only for a very special reason, like Clock Day.

Looking forward to some friendly competition - it's good for keeping us on our toes.

Well, it's going to be hard for me to catch-up with you, but we have some tough competitors here!

Also, I realised that B/Ping on my father's laptop is a challenge. No middle button click for a new tab, Internet Explorer's incredibly fast tab opening... It's just amazing.

Well like you said before we aren't chums anymore. As you passed me up again. I don't know what your problem is. First you say we can't be friends, you pass me up in B/P, and then you piss cadreamer off because you can't do some math. God, what a terrible person you are.

Haha. Since obviously all of that was a joke I have a following question. Why do some people take the internet so serious and get pissed off at a simple math misunderstanding? Oh well, some people are just a little more friendlier than others I guess.

Why do you find the need to be a troll with my posts?? Maybe if you read further in the thread you would SEE where I apologized about being cranky that morning....since this is the second time I've had to point that apology out maybe you will actually see it this time.

I want you to read this over. And then I want you to read over your posts on the last page of your posts that you have made. You troll in somewhere around 5 of your posts. What for? Every single time I made a post you trolled me and now that I made a little post like this you get offended and call me a troll? It just seems like every time someone gets close to passing you for some reason you get bitchy about it. I mean come on it's a website. You may say that you don't care, but again the proof is in your posts. Every time someone is about to pass you or threatens to pass you up you tell them to get off of newgrounds and get a life. Ha, the person that B/P's while at work is telling other people to get a life? Perhaps you should stop B/Ping at work and talk to your coworkers a little bit more. It seems like you have forgotten how to socialize with people.

And yes I saw that you apologized. And that makes it ok to just jump down people's throats all of the time? That's nice to know. Perhaps I will try and use that excuse sometime. I wonder how your boss would react if you messed up on an entire (whatever you do) at work and all you said was, "Sorry, I was cranky."? I'm sure that would make it better.

It's been two months since I has in a conversation which has ANYTHING to do with you. When I asked you to stay away from me and blocked you from sending PM's I figured you had gotten the point.

Every time someone is about to pass you or threatens to pass you up you tell them to get off of newgrounds and get a life. Ha, the person that B/P's while at work is telling other people to get a life?

Wow. Interpretation goes a long way. I don't see anywhere in my posts where I told anyone to get a life.
