Slash has returned.
He will not be as lightning, not this time. This time he will come as the sea, slowly but unstoppably eroding all that stands before him.
Prepare yourselves.
EDIT: Okay, goddamn it, if this passes then I am going to kill myself.
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING BLAMS I MEAN SHIT THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF SUCK TODAY

I'm impressed, Slash. You're truly humble.
I think you'll like to see the topic I made yesterday: <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1240578">http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1 240578</a>
Indeed, it's worse now than ever. I used to think the Portal was bad during the height of the Star Syndicate and the like---oh, what a fool I was.
I do believe you may just have gone a long way in persuading Wade to start actually dishing out B/P resets to those who protect-whore for points all the time. And that may be a more powerful advantage than any amount of B/P alone.
+10000000 respect points. :)
I'd like to think so. But there's a big difference between someone who barely ever save-whores requesting nerfing and finding/doing it to active assholes.
Still hoping for Portal mods, along with some widespread nerfing of those who just can't live without a huge number in their stats.
then let me put darkness in your heart
My heart is full of FURY
and blood
*rapturous applause*
This sacrifice you've made in the name of fair voting is truly incredible. I tip my hat to you sir, and hope that many may be inspired by your actions.
I have a feeling that certain speedy people (particularly on the top 300 list) will just say "what an idiot" and keep doing it. Still, I'd like to be wrong.
Especially if it ends with Wade nerfing the crap out of everyone involved.
I have a feeling that if the admins went through and cleared the B/P rankings of those who vote without watching that people (a lot of people who post in the Wi/Ht) would lose all their B/P.
There's no way to have a ratio higher then mine if you're voting honestly.
OH GOD MY B/P RATIO IS INFINITELY IN FAVOR OF SAVES
...4:0
This will likely change over time, lol.
Man, you set up a great example to the portal community.
Keep it up bro!
Thanks.
I have no regrets.
Except maybe my B:P ratio (previously about 10:7 in favor of blams). Fucking everything is passing, even shitty GIF's. Absurd.
I guess timing can be everything with a ratio as well though.
11:0 ouch
There haven't actually been many horrible flashes today. I've given out a few 1's and I think only one zero. I have a feeling that some of the flashes I passed today will have reskinned versions that I'll be zero'ing from now on.
I'm appalled that Artillery Game 3 and Metsu Hadoken passed. The latter is just a fucking GIF/sprite ripoff! There are two blam points I definitely SHOULD have gotten.
I'm going to hate the Portal in short order, I think.
Even not knowing you, you seems to be pretty awesome, loved what you done dude, congrats. I hope this motivates somebody.
Respect Slash. :D
Even if it doesn't motivate anyone, I have no regrets---I'm clean and working my way back up will be interesting even if it takes me a few years (which it probably will).
You have more honor then more people I can think off. Sadly you forget that Blams don't come like they used to and the protect whore will help push away blam points.
I should know since when I was actively B/Ping I would be on in the top blammers list and the numbers we would get in the old day in less then a week it now takes me a month to get.
Yeah, I'm currently at 5:1 in favor of saves. Three blams after spending a good deal of time B/P'ing. And while I wasn't keeping count, I'm sure I've given 0 or 1's to a couple dozen flashes, so...yeah. Fuck.
When I grow up I want to be just like you mister, except with a light aura (and laser vision) ^_^
What's going to be funny is when I lecture a newbie on how to properly B/P and they say WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, YOU'RE JUST A *insert low rank here*.
You remind me of davidzx for some reason...
I don't even know who that is, though the name sounds familiar.
I am unsure of what is going on...
Got sick of idiots saving everything in Portal.
Protested it by requesting that my 34616 B/P get reduced to zero.
Request granted.
Making up for past mistakes and trying to counteract the stupidity of statwhores by becoming active on the Portal again.
Then my mom got scared and said you're etc etc
O.O...
Wow...quite the maneuver there, Slash. You're nuts, but I commend you for the stance you are putting forth. At least you kept your NG level. And who knows...with time, you might get to join the NGPD! ;-)
Have fun B/Ping! This time, I am very unfortunate to say, you won't be in a B/P race with me. :-P
Looks like you balanced out your ratio a lot better after all.
I thought I'd leave another comment saying I have a ton of respect for you. Not only did you get your B/P reset, but you're a damn good writer.
Rock on.
hey buddy, idk if you remember me from the EGB back in 2006, but if you catch up to where i'm at right now (Lieutenant), then you could b/p race me for the fun of it if you like ;P.. i might even slow down to give you time to catch up, just for you :)
Tycrane
What...
Your B/P points?!

Slash is reborn anew as a pure, perfect being.
And when he ascends to godhood once more, he will be free of the sin of mass-voting and a golden age of Newgrounds will begin.
(AKA i requested to have my B/P points reset as a show of protest against save-whoring and will work my way back up without doing it myself even once)
