and you retire as the poster of the top 50 blammer and protectors list as #1 Protector on Newgrounds.
Quite an accomplishment.
That was kinda the idea of waiting 2 months until I could do this update. I didn't have much passion for putting in the time on another update with me behind fixit. #;-}> Thanks!

will you updateonce more if people pass you, and you want to make it to the top again?
Heh. For one thing... unless fixit reactivates, I'm in no immediate danger. I touched the greatness of #1 in saves this past week... and even if only lasted a week or a month, I'd still have done it, right? But I suspect it will last for a bit more than that.
And for another... The purpose of this list was for me to chart my save progress (and my higher rank in saves than in overall b/p) against that of my fellow top 50 b/p combined members. I enjoyed doing so... but when I hit #1 the original purpose of this list died. So no, I don't plan on ever doing full updates of either list again. As fixit passed ramagi, as I passed fixit, as you may one day pass me... I'm just happy to have been on the list of #1s, and my motivation for personally doing this list is now eased, though I will still enjoy reading the list when Dogma updates it along with each full EG list.

I also went up on this list. WooHoo. 13 spots that is pretty impressive seeming all the crap that gets put on NG.
48 to 35 is almost as impressive as MPA's rise on the other list. Hell, what am I saying... this is the SAVES list, where things move like tired legs walking through deep snowdrifts. That's INSANELY impressive, man. Your move upwards on both lists was great, because you balanced fairly well between rising on both of 'em.

I've been waiting a bit to get on this list, now i'm on all the ones I want to be. Thanks for all of the updates Gfox.
You are teh doublelisted. What, besides the two top 50s (well, and the official top 50), are the other lists? Dogma's, the VP list, QuadList... Review List... ? What about the exp list? Do tell!

Narcisuss' fall was always the one that troubled me. Heretik at least is putting out great flash instead, but it's been over 18 months since Qi came out and nothing new from Narc ~sigh~
True enough. But Narci, as I like to call him (WTF?), was never a savior that I looked up to like Heretik, and agent66 before him, were. Those two guys had great ratios favouring saves... and when I was a little top 50 b/p list nooblet, they were my idols on the list, pretty much. agent66 fell so quickly that it was disheartening, but nothing was worse than seeing that Heretik has now fallen off both the top 50 lists I started... unless it was seeing him fall off the official top 50, I suppose.
Anyway, Heretik continues to put out great flash and agent66 is back and reviewing a shitload and getting exp again and some b/p and ranking up and threatening to get back ahead of me in VP, etc. etc. etc. so... perhaps Narci will return as well, eh? He's still on one of the two top 50 artists lists, isn't he?
Very nice runs on both. Greatly appreciated and much thanks =)
Thanks. Having taken the reins from NGling on the VP list, I think I'm in a position to understand the mixed happiness and sadness one can feel when taking over a list one's always enjoyed receiving from the previous updater, so... a bit of mirror-reflected deja vu may now commence. But, at least I won't be disappearing off the face of NG like NGling did... O_o

Just one of those strange packs that periodically happen ... almost a shame to leave it (*cough* X *cough*) since it's so far to the next cluster.
The 8477-8170 range you're at the tail end of, you mean? That IS quite tightly packed... but then again, this is the saves list... glaciers sometimes move faster than people on this list. And yep, X has quite the upward climb, especially now that signin is on the move once more. #;-}>
^^ grats again. It would have been nicer if fixit hadn't gotten that old protect processed ... keep the numbers all nice and round.
Thanks! It's the bestest. The only thing that could make it better would be hitting 40,000 b/p with a 20000/20000 split, but alas...
Maybe so. But I have all active people in my spreadsheets for these lists boldfaced, and I would unbold the inactive people... so... funnily enough, fixit's never shown up as inactive in my spreadsheet. Never. Two updates ago he was in the 48000s... One update ago he was at 49501. And today he's at 49503. He always managed to stay bold... that robot is a GENIUS. #;-}>
If gfox wants to do an update, like for the example you gave or an "anniversary special," I'm more than happy to stand down while he does it (or them). If things change and he decides to pick them back up, they're all his =)
Toocool's just hoping he can get me to endure the masochistic ritual of my top 50 update process by passing me in saves, that's all. I think I already debunked that theory further up in this post. #;-}> The most I'll ever probably do is a 20,000 save miniupdate screenshot celebration or something. No REAL updates anymore for me, barring me winning the lottery (and I don't play) or being hired by NG to be the official listmaster admin here and thus getting paid for insane listmadness (but if that happened, I'd just make official daily top 50 blam and top 50 save lists anyway).
Anywho, that said... these lists aren't any less special to me now that I'm #1 in saves or anything, if that's what Toocool thinks... They just take so much more time and effort than the other lists I do (NGling designed the VP spreadsheet well and I tried to emulate that with the Quadlist). Still, I'll always have a fond spot for this one especially. :::salutes the saves list, long may she wave:::
