If you stopped collecting points all together I'd still have about a dozen days before I'd catch up to you on the top 50 list. Given you are a bit more prolific than I am I doubt I'll be cathcing up anytime soon.

its not likely that i'd stop collecting points, but my pace has slowed and i've been spending more time out of the house as well as playing more video games while at home. i managed to get around 70 b/p points yesterday but it still felt like a slow day for some reason. i was surprised at my increase.

good luck on your run into the top 50. won't be too hard as there are some fairly inactive users near the very bottom.

Since you're about 150 blams from hitting the 50 spot's points from LAST update, yeah... I'd say it's a safe bet you won't be on the next update that's coming in just a couple days.

But yeah, it should be awhile before the next one AFTER that, and as long as you pop some blams into yer bag, you should be on this if you don't stop for too long.

I was playing gta: vice city for the majority of the day and was barely on newgrounds until later that night.

heh! Well, in any event, I'm about to update it again, so you'll get yer rankup congrats in the official list update soon enough. #;-}>

In any event, he just joined the list, so I congratted him on teh Praporshchik rankup. Congrats in advance on your (I hope) soon-to-be Second Lieutenanthood, however, merc!

thanks, glad to be on another list, though ever since i ranked up i've slowed down alot. the only other thing that would drive me to continue my pace as of last update on the 51+ b/p list of 89 b/p a day is to get on the top 10,000+ exp / b-p / post list.

Yeah, that pace isn't really necessary unless you're super motivated to get to a certain pointvalue or rank or list. Just as long as you don't slow down TOO much and fall off one or more of the lists, though. That's been happening to a lot of newlistcomers lately, and it always saddens me to see it happen.

its too bad i don't have too much competition directly below me at the moment to motivate me. timscheff will creep up on me on the top 50 list if i slack off for too long so maybe that will get me back on track.

Well, good luck to both of ya.

as always, great job on the update gfox!

sure thing, you're quite welcome. Next one'll be done when I hit EGSC in less than 200 points. Woot woot.

The Unofficial Newgrounds Top 50 Blammers List -- as of 03/03/2004 at 02:22 CDT

Congrats to:

gfoxcook on his promotion to Elite Guard Supreme Commander (6th)
alexsmolik on his promotion to Elite Guard Brigadier General (13th)
Syme on her promotion to Elite Guard Captain (29th)
LockClock on his promotion to Elite Guard First Lieutenant (38th)
alhill on his promotion to Elite Guard First Lieutenant (37th)
merc_insanity on his promotion to Elite Guard Second Lieutenant (50th) &
BrownCow on his promotion to Elite Guard Praporshchik (~60th)

since the last update of the list.

List Stats:

The Top 50 Blammers currently have 526,078 blams (+12,423)
The Top 50 Blammers currently have 296,356 saves (+2,331)
The Top 50 Blammers currently have 822,434 combined b/p (+14,754)

177.52% is the Top 50 Blammers' overall blam-to-save % (+02.82%)
63.97% of the Top 50 Blammers' combined b/p are blams (+00.37%)

Welcome to:

BrownCow, who just barely kept ORKarate from making this list (he who was once on the saves list). Grats, BrownCow!

Farewell to:

Mr_Chuckles, who is still solid on the saves list, but has now lost his doublelistness by falling off of this one. AMAZINGLY, he did get a few blams and saves since last update, for the first time in many months. But not enough. :::salutes:::

DANGER ZONE:

BrownCow better get moving up, cause there are three people about to make the list. First up comes ORKarate, who as I mentioned woulda made the list by besting Mr_Chuckles if it weren't for BrownCow's besting of him. After that _Newt and Brainy are the most likely to hit this list. And they could take down Rabindarath, Mieli, Xwayne, or BrownCow, depending on how everyone moves. Good luck, all!

Greg's Notes:

7 rankups this time, compared to 21 and 12 and 6 and 11 and 7 and 14 and 16 and 4 and 8 and 6 the last eight times (total of 112 for the blammers list!). 5 are on both lists, the other 2 are only on this list.

As I said, Mr_Chuckles is non-doublelisty now, so we're back up to 7 people on EACH list who are not on both lists. We hit a low (which is good, IMO) of 6 last update, and while this is a step in the wrong direction, in terms of listbalance and reduced work for Greg, it does make things interesting AND it's still much better than the days when we had 10 people on each list or more who weren't on both lists. Still plenty of ***s out there.

And I turned EGSC. Woot? #;-}>

I sort of noticed this last time, but now it's kind of glaringly obvious. Odds look good I'll pass Storm on all 3 tops 50s (including the NG list) within a few days of each other.

A triple passage, eh? I'm sure it happens more often that it seems, but yeah, it is nifty that you have such a similar save/blam ratio to someone you're about to pass.

It's a "possible maybe" now. I passed Storm on Blams today. Depending on how motivated I am today, I'll pass on the NG list today or tomorrow (95 to go *wink*). Saves? Yech. Pickings are slim. I only managed 40 saves since the update and have 170 to go to tie him; most likely 190+ by the time I get there. Even at Toocool's rate, I'm still looking at a minimum of 5 more days. I can only hope a lot of good stuff comes through over the weekend.

Just hold out until she moves. I can guarantee a few missed votes while waiting for services to get turned on ... like electric, cable, etc. Providing you don't get too far behind over the next few weeks, you should be able to pass them in those "free days."

Whooo boy. Yeah, better call it a double passage and leave the saves for later, then. Hello bigger blam-to-save ratio for DOGMA!

Never going to catch? Dude, less than 300 blams. Come on. You were saying you'd never catch Joe in SAVES when you were 200 or 300 behind him, and now you're ahead of him, most likely.

Granted, DOGMA's gaining blams faster than Joe was gaining saves, even taking into account average differences in blam rates and save rates on the portal as a whole, but...

still, you gain blams a lot faster than saves too, dontcha?

Well, you pretty much anticipated that already. Nice screenie. Plink.

another couple of years and i wont be on there.

shit! im still not on this list, even if it hadnt moved at all. *irritated* ill get there, but it is taking longer than i had hoped.

You've gotten 700 in 13 weeks ~50 blams/week. At that pace, yes, you'll have a bit of a problem making it on anytime in the near future. Just keep slogging it out until the summer so you don't get too far behind. When that rolls around, you can catch 100-175 Blams a day easily ... too many newblets with waaaay too much time on their hands squirt out flash that almost isn't even qorth the split second it takes to blam it.

BrownCow was moving (I think), but XWayne runs hot and cold. The target I think you need to put your mind on is MielipuoliMieli (and yes I can still spell that name in my sleep) as he's been stalled for a while now. He's the most likely person you'll have to pass to make it on. Besides, if you aim for 6200+ to make it, and it takes less, it's a nice surprise =)

BTW how goes it with the list I sent?

Yeah, Mieli might be his best shot...

This list is so much easier to make than the saves list, which you are kicking ass on, anyway, Brainy, so... don't stress out too much. It'll happen sooner or later, especially now that you've let your blams exceed your saves and not tried to keep them beneath the savecount.

Maybe less.

i like ths list, i really need to work on getting igher on this list. i dont know when i will do it, but i have vacation coming up.

I know that, man. What I meant is that it would take you longer to get onto this list if you were TRYING to keep your saves above your blams. I know you wanted them to stay that way, so you certainly COULD have made sure that they did by not blamming some stuff that you blammed.

But clearly, you want to get on this list, and get ahead on the top 50 overall, so you weren't going to let your saves get in the way of your blams. And that's the way it's gotta be for teh ranks, for teh spot on the list, and all due to the portal crap ratio. It's a sad, sad state of affairs, but oh well. #;-}>
