It moves along so slow. Ah well at least it went up from the last list. I am confused why 13vp has a +1 yet Yoink has +.01.

Why? That would be because of the first mistake I've made in my list stats for this list... ever. #;-}> Thanks for catching it. Too late to do anything about it here, but I'll change it in my personal copy of the update.

I just forgot to change it to UNCH. when I was going through and changing all the other amounts.

Oh yeah, and... I forgot to type in "1st" between January and 2005. That woulda kinda been nice to do there. (sigh) Anyway... I think those are the only two errors. And at least they're not in the actual top 500 list itself. That's about the only comfort I can take right now.

Note to self: never update a list early on New Year's Day again!

Well mistakes happen. That is why I was waiting to be a bit more awake before doing mine.

Happy new VP update!!!

Hehe lost a spot, but at least someone gained one ;D

Crap, even when I rank up I probably won't actually get in the top 100 now. That's a pisser.

Hey don't get discouraged. You're almost there anyway. One more Rank-Up should put you over the top so keep on going.

Horray i went up more, with a .03 nontheless :)

So true, so true. I have a special excuse cause I'm sick, and last night, I was expecting to get, oh 10 hours of sleep, but does my body like me? No...and I didn't even get an hour. I just stayed in bed with my eyes closed, tossing and turning. I have no idea why I didn't eventually fell asleep, but damn it sucked.

So what did I do? I just went out and bought some NyQuil! If my body won't fall asleep on it's own, then I'LL MAKE IT >:O

Pity it didn't happen a few hours earlier, though. An unexpected NYE party ate up the night, but I'm pretty burned out anyways. Lieutenant Colonel will probably take me a while, too.

When you rank up... once, you mean. Two or three times should get you there. I know that's not very doable at your current rates, but if you stepped 'em up a bit, it'd be very doable. Along with the ever-increasing exp, eh? People are always dropping ahead of you. I know there's not many right at the bottom of the top 100 right now (much to my surprise over the past couple of months), but... eventually they will trickle down from the 30-70 range or so.

Well, good_guy_o's deposit on Saturday may have gotten him to 9.25, or maybe he was already there. I confess to being very surprised. I didn't think it would happen till February, right? Or at least late January, I think I said. So much for that prediction. And I was so spot-on with the templist and all. #;-}> Anyway... I'm not sure many (aside from you, oh optimistic one!) would have thought it would happen by New Year's Day.

-1 is spankage? Doesn't it take at least a -2 to count as that, or is that just double-spankage? #;-}>

moongod's path of death and destruction WAS quite impressive, wasn't it. The string of -1s after him.... to compensate for his +10... was a sight to behold.

Always the best direction to move in, yes. One rankup would certainly make you feel more safe on the list, eh? You're safe either way, though. 481 isn't exactly "about to get knocked off" the list, yanno! So fear not.

the only thing holding back your VP is your BP, hahaha.
if you get a few thousand more, you can get another 4% on it, and that brings it up to the high 7.8's around i would think.
also, well done to Xnaut for getting all dem BP's and gettin' all that VP!

Awesome, I've been working at finally getting a positive boost :) Although, it may be a while until I get another though, haha.

Why yes, it really would. And since I'm only 100 b/ps away I should be safe soon, so don't you dare make your update prior to date. ;)

You're safe either way, though.

Well, with my low experience level I have to make sure I b/p fast otherwise that very well could happen with others who b/p faster than me. Either way, you are right. I'm safe, but that doesn't mean I feel super safe. ;p

481 isn't exactly "about to get knocked off" the list, yanno! So fear not.

Yeah, once I get those 100 more b/p I won't be afraid at all. So all is well I guess. But even so, I'm still very low, that experience boost is really what is keeping me down. I mean, even if I was EGSC I would have a voting power of less than 10 because of it, it'll be a while before I start getting my experience up so that it actually makes a huge impact. Due to the whole compounding thing and such. Well anyway, I should be safe for now. ;D

I can't wait to reach that rank so I can feel the same as you :O

I will probably reach the last rank before I reach level 14 and I'm depositing every day, it could even happen a few days after I level up to level 13 so I expect my vp to get a low vp for a egsc. Not as low as Bonus's vp when he will reach that rank though.

And yeah, I seem to remember you being right around #400 or 401. Didn't I say something to you about the merits of being #401 at the top of a page of the update versus the merits of being #400 and thus in the top 400? #;-}>

Sure thing, you're quite welcome, as is everyone.

also, is it ShittyKitty's program you use to gather these stats or is it your own?
(i think i may have asked this in the past but i always forget).

Until August of 2004, there WAS no program. It was me looking in everyone's profile from the links in my Excel spreadsheet, and copying down the VP numbers. Since August of 2004, I've been using ShittyKitty's program, yes.

Others have reached EGSC with less than 10.00 VP as well, and others will continue to. As long as there are people who begin b/ping as soon as they start an account, and have a b/p rate that far exceeds their NG-maximum-limit-imposed exp rate... there will be 9.xx EGSCs. #;-}>

You can't wait to be an EGSC so you can never rankup nor get a good VP boost again?! Come on, man. That's like a 20 year old who can't wait to be 60 and on the verge of retiring.

Don't hurry your b/p life. Enjoy it in slow sips. Stop to take a look around. Appreciate the scenery. Smell the flowers. It flies by... all too fast. ;_;

Lowest VP for an EGSC ever, eh? Until Bonus breaks your record. Well, that should be interesting. Care to speculate on the actual number you expect EGSC to take you to?

....

Anywho, folks. This page is just about done... I thought about not catching up in here until I post the update, and thus could make sure it's around the top of page 78, but seeing as how two people posted in here despite a lack of activity on the 5th... I figured that as the 6th and the 7th went by, there'd be some more posts in here, and it'd push the thread well into page 78 anyway. So... wotevah. Either try to keep it low volume in here for a couple days... or else try to talk about VP for nearly a full page in the next couple of days, whydontcha. #;-}>

Right now, MPA is considered to have the lowest vp for an egsc. Although, many people will soon beat him and Ya_Ya will probably win the challenge. I could try to pass Ya_Ya and bonus and beat that record before them but it seems impossible unless they stop to blam/protect.
