600 BLAMS

400 to go and I can post my first blam achievement in the Wi/Ht Level Up thread. I guess it'll take half a year.

Also, the EGB has cleared out quite a few members from the list due to inactivity:

The force has shrunk. :c

I started voting a little bit on UJ submissions on October, 2011 (voting 5 times a day, since I thought B/P were hard to get, lol). My pace was so slow that it took me almost 6 months to get to POLICE CAPTAIN. :(

Ugh, I used to be such a dipshit. I'll admit this bullshit: I only voted 5. ONLY 5. I thought blams were extremely hard to find. I only voted 0 on UJ submissions that were lighted as RED, and on flash reported in the EGB thread (at that time, you can get blams on content that's removed/whistled).

I was frustrated. I couldn't take it anymore. I gave up B/Ping at the start of March (after I hit Private) and I continued this hiatus until late April (almost a two-month break), when I decided to vote on UJ submissions again. During that dark period, I gave up depositing EXP. I would be level 22 or 23 if I deposited daily. The fact that I didn't have much internet access explains why my B/P gain hovered around 20 per day, and sometimes fail to deposit at all.

My real B/P pace started showing up around early August, 2012, when I finally moved to a new house and got my own internet access. I also started voting 2 instead of 5 and started blamming more stuff (1/8 of the content under UJ, instead of 1/20). I got to 200, 300, 400, 500 blams in months, compared to 150 blams in 6 months. This also led to my acceptance to the EGB. In six months, I promoted from Corporal to Sgt. Major (just less than 100 points shy of Praporshchik).

So, this year, I'm having a good start - having the knowledge of how the system works and set goals written on my NP. As written on my NP stat goals for 2013, I'm hoping to hit General at the end of 2013 and become Level 27. Most importantly, getting a total of 1,000 blams.

I can never keep up a pace like in the summer where i could go and veiw every single vid on the UJ section, and vote. where today, i could get arond 30-90 vids a week.

i honestly dont really care too much about how many blams i acquire, but it seems the competition is rising, so i better keep my eyes peeled....

PINKY!

(Speaking in Military fashion)

How's it going, Sir Lieutenant Luigi, Master Sgt. Knuck and Pvt. First Class AJ? Killing terrorists lately?

There are quite some hostages to save before I'm promoting myself Praporshchik.

As of recently, there's been a few terrorists in the UJ zone. Make sure to annihilate them. I won't be giving out their co-ordinates, as it's not allowed according to the Law of NG.

Sir Lieutenant Luigi, I'd reviewed that song on January 30th, 2012. I never noticed it was Waterflame who made that, though. I first played the game on Stickpage.com. Indeed nostalgic. Stick War is a relatively awesome game.

Speaking of Stick War, has anyone played Stick War 2 yet?

AppleJack 2013-01-03 15:11:51

i felt stick war 2 destroyed the whole experience of the stick war feel....

AppleJack 2013-01-03 17:52:45

i am wondering that question too: what country u play as.

it is VERY different and i dont like the music...

I'll just leave this here:

HEY LISTEN!

AppleJack 2013-01-04 18:01:53

...it had a nice begining, then it turned to shit

AppleJack 2013-01-04 19:12:01

....that was hilarious.... i actually laughed....

@SLF1 i dint try insane... must be insane to do XDDDDD...

KrisKrosNL 2013-01-04 21:26:18

@Luigi: I defeated Insane Mode once at my friends' house two years ago. I kept drinking ice tea (7 cups) whilst playing the final level. I almost punched the keyboard out of frustration, but I kept my cool.

@AJ: maybe the 'wub-wub' part wouldn't be shit if you could appreciate it.

@Touko: I...don't get that joke.

Navi is one of the most annoying companions in VG history.

Fortunately, Navi was actually an encouragement for me when I was a child since I was scared playing OoT alone...

KrisKrosNL 2013-01-05 19:41:48

@Luigi: I just woke up and I'm not making any typos. :3

@Knuck: the only part I get annoyed by Navi is in the Great Deku Tree. I mean, she pops up and says 'you can open a door by pressing A in front of it' and 'this wall seems like it can be climbed'. She barely pops up at all when I'm deep in the game.

And of all the sudden, this is reminding me of the awesome Water Temple.

Feel the wub.

@Luigi: OoT is partly famed for its complicated Water Temple - ah, memories. Also, Navi barely gives hints while you're in the temple. I remember the first time I ever went in it. I kept thinking 'where's the fucking small key' since I sometimes seem to miss a key to the next door (which would eventually lead to the room with Dark Link in it). I sweeped the entire temple a few times over, which isn't something I like to do on my Gamecube, especially since I don't have a GC memory card. I played one hour through the dungeon and still didn't finish. Nothing beats the Forest Temple, though. That dungeon is scary as fuck...

Also, your charger's internal wires are partly 'burned out' - broken. I had this issue with my DS charger. It's bound to become 100% broken someday. It's fucked for life. Get a new one. Same thing can disable earphones from working. I broke 5 earphones in 2 years because the wire that provides for one side 'burned out' - that is, overusing the product.

KrisKrosNL 2013-01-06 08:07:43

The Water Temple is the BEST DUNGEON IN THE WORLD.

AppleJack 2013-01-06 13:22:09

i have absolutly no fucking idea what is going on here

btw that song i liked.... faved

KrisKrosNL 2013-01-07 03:49:14

@Luigi: some wires tend to burn out if used too frequently. Also, are you saying that the Shadow Temple is original?

@Knuck: wat, you can literally get stuck in the Water Temple? I mean, get STUCK, and never get through? I'm lucky enough to have never encountered such a thing after playing the Water Temple 4 times over.

Also, the Forest Temple took me the longest to complete. I gave up exploring half-way through a few times because I was scared...so I completed the Fire Temple, got through the Ice Cave, got Epona, save all the carpenters in Gerudo Fortress, and get the Biggoron Sword before actually defeating the Forest Temple. Also, Phantom Ganon kicked my ass a few times because I kept failing to return the energy ball using my sword (I don't understand why, since I'm always successful in the Wind Waker). And those wall masters...they scare the fuck outta me...
