Web Pentalist Mark LIII is uploaded and available.
Dont forget next update to add a E.
That joke woulda worked better when an actual word would have been formed (like back on Mark LI when I made the LICK joke, or even last week with Mark LIV... then you'd have LIE or LIVE. But LIIIE? Pfft.... is that someone screaming "YOU LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIED" while he falls over a cliff or something? #;-}>).
a nongeneric congrats. 10k exp the way to go.
The way to go indeed. I wish I'd hit 10k exp first. Boy do I ever. #;-}>
respectively and now we're at 69 members (let the suggestive jokes commence! #;-}>).
hmm 69 members that sucks and blows at the same time, guess no commencements have come forth.
Something like that.
Yes I am only my way for a good leap list maybe even first. Havent checked for ozcar, dondonli or anyone else though.
MAYBE EVEN FIRST. OH MY.
Actually, your total right now is higher (just barely, but still higher) than schnee's was last week when she joined the list, so... yeah, you would be in first place as of right now. We shall see if anyone else can raise the bar higher first, or how long yours will last if not.
As I warned Gooch and now schnee: these marks are going to last for less and less time as the list becomes padded with more and more people, thus enabling even modest-points-having-peoples to jump over TONS of fairly-low-points having people who've just made the list with 2x10k and not much other stats beyond that. People in the low (20k is the lowest possible total for making this list, after all) 20,000-30,000 total range, like bidbadron, Morextremist, Tanner, etc. etc.
More and more of those are coming onto the list ALONG with all you high-total 40,000-50,000 range peoples, thus enabling midrange 30,000-40,000 people to "get ahead" relatively speaking. As it were. In the LLL game, at least, if not in actual ranking on the REAL list, the pentalist.
Yeah shame on me.
Now go lick some stuff to atone.
It looks like that.
Noooooooooe... how could they not like licking?
Biggest mistake I made assuming that.
See that it's the biggest mistake of your life and you'll probably do pretty damned good from here on out.
Dont worry Bahamut(-)(7) will.
Yeah. That didn't take long. I stopped being lazy and added him that weekend, so it's no biggie anyway.
Only a leak in the ship. Its been patched.
Hooray!

I just don't think about, why worry about something that. Since nothing like that exists, nothign to consider. Yea eventually Captain Bob will go past, but other than that there really isn't anyone anywhere close to going up in rank
And that's a pretty nice place to be, so... just cause there's not much action doesn't mean it's not good to have a high VP, right? #;-}>
yea I spent a lot of time on the bbs being active this last week posting more than I have recently. I was close to having more than 300 total again for the week.
You tend to post around 50 per week. With that kind of volume coming in, you've always got SOME points coming, at least. I haven't broken 100 total for a week in months, personally. It would take me more than 30 reviews+posts for a week, and that never happens.
... Well, I guess I should never say never. I may do some more reviewing at some point soon (I did 8 yesterday to get to 650, and I kinda all-of-a-sudden feel the need to be ahead of the average reviews on the pentalist so my stats will be above every single average, all 5 stats and the total)... that average just dropped below 700 for the first time in a loooong time, so it'd be pretty easy to review my way up from 650 to 690 and be above average... (snap) like that. #;-}>

Well this is my biggest gain on bila for some time. Easy math. 545 - 410 = 135 extra points for me. I wish it was the same on the b/p list. He may not pull in the points like MPA or ramagi but he's steady enough to keep that 1000+ buffer between us.
So you're saying that the buffer he enjoys here on the pentalist is a lot easier for you to overcome the one he enjoys in b/p, eh? That may be so, but if you just glance at the lists, you wouldn't know it. After all, there is NO one in between you guys on the b/p top 50... but there is little ol' me in between you guys here on the pentalist. Of course, in another week or two, bila will be above me here, so that'll no longer be the case. Ah well. #;-}>
You know what sucks? If I do manage to catch bila on the b/p list it'll probably happen when I'm about to go on vacation again. 0_o Anyway as far as I can see the only real threat on the PentaList is Wylo but he still has a long way to go. Still snug as a bug in a rug at #4. Thanks for your time and effort gfox. Great update as always (until somebody passes me).
Like I said, you two are destined to swing back and forth, back and forth... keep up the rankchangery action and the racing will always be fun, don't you think? I wish I had the horsepower to similarly race with you guys, but those days are long past.
I suppose I can still race with people on just exp alone (where I never get passed, hooray! #;-}>) or even posts or reviews, as slow as I get those. You and I have been pretty even with the posts for months now, in fact. But I know it's tough for both of us to muster up much posting quantity. But hey, quality's always preferable, right? #;-}>
And yeah, those updates where you get passed are never quite as fun... but I wouldn't say great... that's kinda apples and oranges, eh? #;-}>
