Damn. I'm screwed... I better start climbing fast. Once those two hit the list, Elite Guard Sergeant First Class will be a thing of the past on the Top 50 Saviors/Blammers list. I figure that by the time I come back from that vacation, I'm going to be clinging to the #50 spot. With all these crazy "I get 100 blam/protect points a day!" people in front of me, I'm going to be hitting that brick wall really soon...
Well, you better just get up above skum001 fast, let's just say. Once you hit that 6282 (I believe... I know that number from memory, sad isn't it?) you'll be safe till almost September, I'd wager.
By the way, thanks for the info. I knew I could count on you to get me the information I needed...
Sure thing. :::tips hat::: All I did was filter the info you needed from my saved copy of D0GMA's latest list, though. #;-}>

Just wanted to tack on a few thoughts to this discussion. dl_Monk, Denvish, and Syme is the likely order these folks will enter the Top 50 Total, unless pingpong08 gears up again in which case he'll be 2nd. What I see as likely to occur is:
dl_Monk, however, cannot hope to compete with the other two in the long run, eh? #;-}>
(snip)
Forecasts beyond that are really questionable. importracer666 is likely to get to that "new" 50 rank 3-5 days before pingpong does, which raises the bar and gives more time for x-death619 to catch up.
x-death619, eh? I better check that profile, don't remember if I did before or not.
As things stand, I see essentially no danger of Ben being knocked off the top 50 before he returns from vacation, providing he earns at least 6100 before he leaves, while passing 6200 (nostrant) should guarantee it.
I agree, but I emphasize the 6200-6300 range as being ideal. 6100 is probably okay, but I wouldn't risk it, personally. As biteme said, Sergeant First Class is gonna be bye bye soon, and that means that even hanging around at the bottom end of Master Sergeant isn't a good idea. Best to get up past the first quarter of the way to Sergeant Major by passing 6250 or so.
_redruM_ popped into my thread a couple weeks ago to let us know he had seriously curtailed his NG involvement. Unless his real life circumstances take a significant change, it's unlikely he'll get back to his old pace.

As to the protectors list, the main thing to consider is the comparison of the per day averages of people like Denvish, and Syme, to that of toocool, along with the current amount of protects. Toocool has significantly fewer per day, but they are all protects. Syme and Denvish have more per day, but (I think) fewer protects per day than toocool is getting.
I'm not sure on the actual rates, mostly because I don't have Syme and Denvish on my list (they're both avid blammers, I believe... well, at least compared to the 3 new guys I added this past week, pingpong, importracers, and Overtired all have great save/blam ratios).
But... Even though toocool only gets protects, and gets enough to be in the top 20 protectors... he doesn't move that fast. That said, they're just too low for now, despite their rates.
Denvish is likely to break 2k protects sometime tomorrow. I wouldn't dare hazard anything more than a guess with Syme as she's only got 1370 ... call it at 3-4 weeks to even get to 2k. In neither case do I see either making the protects list any time soon.
2k cut it back in May. But pretty soon, 3k isn't even gonna cut it anymore. Protections are starting to finally pile up, though they're still nowhere near the quantity of blams.
Everyone from my list that should be there has made their way onto gfox'. The only other way for knock-offs to occur than our tracking them onto the respective lists would be my finding people whom I'm still missing. #68 has been missing from go (63 at the time). If you presume that they have 0 blams and all protects, the only other missing people who could be on the protects list are 98, 102, 104, 110, 112, and 117 from mine. The chances of another toocool hiding in the woodwork are pretty slim, plus I usually see those gaps in my list moving down.
I'd say 68 is the only real possible gap on my list. It's actually possible 68 is someone I have a link to, I should probably check on that sometime. If they're falling, it's no worry really.
But... while combing through the top 50 to 150, say, I'm thinking I might start making a new list. Not necessarily for every-few-day updates like my top 50 protectors list, but more for curiosity's sake...
what say everyone to finding out how they rank... BLAM-WISE, eh? #;-}>
(I already have plenty of data for it, after all... I'd just have to find the blammers who have under 2600 saves that should be on the list, and resort by blamcount)
We shall see, we shall see...
