Bad as it sounds, I think I've replied with 8 or 10 I missed before, so it could be worse. #;-}>

Wheee. Well, at least you noticed within an hour.

Man, it totally rocks not having anyone right on my tail. I can't tell you guys how awesome it is to have a nice .15 VP cushion under your ass on this list. Not many people have such a nice cushion.
I'm going to be so OTT with my overconfidence and hubris here that I'll fail to quote the people behind me for the next 6 updates, in fact (OH, THE TEMPTING OF FATE, OH THE INSANITY!).
Nah, actually, I just want to save space and time but uh... yeah, the above stuff sounded better.

The really crazy part is, this list update is from around the election tiems, not that long ago, but look at all the people in between me and altr in VP...
I'm going to pass altr in exp (and thus VP) if he doesn't resume depositing by the end of this month, by February.
Meaning, that's the equivalent a couple months ago of going from #14 to #9 on the VP list in the blink of an eye, relatively speaking... insane!

Man, the rounding is really going crazy. Last update, me (and Idiot-Finder right behind me) had +0.04s on the list and Recon, for example, had a +0.01. This update, he gets a +0.04, and we get +0.01s.
THE EXP SYSTEM IS UNSTABLE, CAPTAIN WYLO.
Trading 0.02s and 0.03s is commonplace, but wild swings from 0.01 to 0.04 seem very unsettling somehow...

Sorry, bila. At least I didn't knock you out of anything important. "top 13" isn't exactly celebrated. #;-}>
Well, that seals it. Highest I've ever been in teh VP ranks. Fun!

Oh, I forgot to mention how happy I was to get out of the 13.7x range, BTW... 13.86 makes me think of my old 386 intel PC with 33mhz clockspeed. And an 80 meg hard drive. heh.
Ah, the early 90s.

Parasoul's gonna make it out of the 13s very very very very sooooon. You go!
Anyway, before anyone rains on my parade, I do realise that there are a few people who can pass me at their leisure, and one of which will be passing me very very very shortly:
021) 13.59 +0.01 8.77 Overtired Commander -1
023) 13.53 +0.01 8.73 someone-else Commander -1
039) 13.20 +0.03 8.92 PimpMasterKDOG General +1
Overtired was freakin' #70 or something back a few months ago, I saw posts when catching up just now between him and Coop where he was assuring Coop that he wouldn't pass him for another however many days and all, but of course with the updates 14 days apart, the next update was enough time to BOOM, knock Coop down.
And now he's #21?
Oh, the experience points. Oh, the experience points!!!
So yes, sadly, my 2000, 2001, and 2002 NG war crimes will further haunt me very shortly. My only comfort is that I will only be passed in VP by dose guyz. They ain't passing me in b/p at the same time they pass me in VP or anything, and of course they're already ahead of me in exp since my war crime years... long, long ago. So, nothing new there.
They just suddenly decided to go for EGSC. Grrrrr. #;-}>
Ah well, the worst those three can do is boot me back down to #16, and I'll be at no higher/less than #15 soon anyway, thanks to altr's sinking like a stone like bila before him.
Why do all the lowercase-4-letter-username-guys-I-used-
to-post-with have to go so completely and utterly inactive, anyway? (sigh)
Oh well. :::salutes and thanks altr and bila:::
Once I'm past you both, though, I hope you'll restart the engines sooner rather than later. You're doing the same thing I did once to my account, only you should know better! I did it before I got that into NG. You're doing it AFTER. ;_;
