PRE-UPDATE CATCHUP!

Ummm... Either you realised what I meant and decided to call me a noob for phrasing it a bit... poorly... or somehow it sailed by you. #;-}>

I didn't say "the less time you spend getting b/p." That would mean less time in the portal, less b/p, etc. etc.

I said... "the less time you spend getting those THREE RANKUPS." As in, not to spend less time getting b/p to GET rankups... but to TAKE LESS time to rankup. i.e. b/p FASTER, not slower. Foolio! By "less time," I don't mean fewer hours per day... I mean getting to your goals sooner. Two months from now instead of THREE months from now, for example.

So, in short: the two things I said were perfectly consistent.

B/P fast = takes less time to get 3 rankups = GOOD VP LIST PERFORMANCE

WOW! #;-}>

Hehe, I should be somewhere around the 17/18 borderline right now, but am I? Nope. You have it worse there I guess. But yeah, it's going to be harder for me than it was for you due to the larger gap between me and HT52. =/

Depends on how you look at it. My exp shortage mostly hurts me in terms of what level I should be (27 or 28 or something) vs. what level I am (18), and how far away I am from the holy land of the top 50 exp list... it doesn't really hurt me THAT badly when it comes to VP. I am in the top 20, after all. But I'm in the 130s in exprank, which is not low enough, dagnabit!

And yes, of course the going is tougher down at the exp amount you are now versus how tough it was when I had your exp. As you point out, it's because of the widened gap between that exp amount and HT52.

Well fine then. *Hacks Newgrounds Portal* *Changes alias to fixit2* WHAT NOW? ):< *Changes estimate of VP to 9.18* ;)

O_O

Heh, well don't worry, I'll be facing harder times most likely, because the gaps are larger for me and blah blah blah. >_>

You be repeating yourself. o_o

HAHAHA, damn me and my confusion. I mixed up the SuperDragon and Scraper-X thing in my mind when shifting between those two. Silly is me. Sorry about that. XD

Ahhh, is that what happened. Well, nevermind my "you must have missed the in-between-both-#202ranks update of the list" explanation, then! #;-}>

When you officially become more insane than Bonus. Good luck with that.

You've got competition from Kiba, though. Watch your back.

fixit? oblivion? vagrant2? your alt "gfox"? I want some NAMES! or should I say? usernames!

I said "worse ones"... but now I have no idea what I meant by worse. So... yeah.

Quit these jokes? Fine.. oh wait.. for a week? OK, you requested for a week, not forever :P

(sigh) Okay, let me rephrase: "any week after a week in which I posted on days other than Saturday... thou shalt not joketh about gfox being a once-a-week poster!"

Meaning this coming week you cannot do that, for I posted twice during the week between Saturdays. Both on Sunday and... um... I think it was Wednesday? No, Thursday. Just a bit in SK's new NG Portal Advance topic and in the review mod lounge, but it counts as well. So... we'll see how THIS coming week goes, but I'm planning on doing some major catch-up in other topics on Sunday, so I suspect it'll be another relatively post-heavy week from teh gfox. From 7777 to 7800... AND BEYOND!

I will probably earn another rank-up before the next update so my next improvement on this list will be even better :D

Yar. You and Bonus, tied neck and neck on teh VP list. Just like in your race for craziness! FUNS?!

Indeed ye did. And I got my #19 spot back, too. How sweet it is. Now if only I could get my #18 spot back (that'd be the highest I've ever been on the list... were you ever #16, or is 17 your peak position so far?)

I'm quite happy, BTW, that chaotic1 (remember him? He was tied with you in exp for quite some time).... anyway, he missed (more than) enough exp for me to pass him... now if he hits EGSC anytime soon, I'll be safe from his rankup VP boost. AWWW YEAH.

Translation: I don't read that wacko X-Naut's posts if I can help it. #;-}>

A couple of weeks after that, I can get past Nostrant... and chances are that will be just in time for someone's rank-up to nudge me back into 36 again

Yay! More 36ness! ^_^

6.21 is great and all, Jamie, but please don't post levelup!ish stuff in here if you aren't going to add anything else to the post. It was simply a celebration over +0.01 VP, which, frankly... is commonplace and thus nothing special. So... yeah. There ya go. YE HAVE BEEN WARNED. #;-}>

That's pretty cool, man. I remember when you were around #400 as well. I can't believe you've moved up so far from there, I hadn't even fully noticed it (especially since you don't often come in here and talk about your rank or quote it or anything). Seeing as how you're mostly a review-mad user, it's quite the accomplishment to get enough b/ps to boost you up 200 spots on this list in such a short time. Great job!

That 0.003 will only help you tiebreak ahead of pox on SK's version of teh VP list, unfortunately, seeing as how his id# is lower than yours and thus you remain in #36 on today's update. Good luck with not getting bumped anytime soon, though, once you are officially past pox on this list (1 or 2 days, I'd guess... depends on where you both are in relation to teh 0.0049/0.0050 VP rounding spots), even if I don't think that'd be that bad a fate considering that it'd just return you to the sweet bosom that is #36. #;-}>

101.) 09.32 +0.02 jonthomson +1
102.) 09.32 +0.02 stafffighter +1

The problem's right there - stafffighter's got a lower exp and higher b/p count than me, meaning his base will increase slightly quicker than mine and have a bigger %age boost to boot. Plus he's much nearer ranking up than me. It's possible I could sneak in next time, but if I do it'd likely be a one update job, and I wouldn't bet on it anyway :-)

That was one of the things I was thinking of as I typed that the situation beneath you was "too fluid" to make any predictions about whether or not a #100 slot was a lock for you by next Saturday.

I did indeed notice that in the past few weeks, he's gotten almost nothing but +0.02s whereas you've been getting more +0.01s than +0.02s in general. That doesn't bode well, no... but I also considered the possibility that you BOTH get +0.02 OR +0.01 but then someone comes along and ranks up right past you, so... there are numerous ways you could get screwed out of the #100 slot next week... and only ONE way you can hit it just right.

With all that said, I'm curious to know: would you rather just wait until you can get in more securely anyway, or would you welcome it happening next weekend, even if you slipped back to 101 the next weekend?

Personally, I like to experience as little negative motion on a list as is possible (the main one I seem to experience it on, BTW, is the review list... heh), so I'd definitely take the "wait longer to get on in the first place, but get on it eventually with much more solid footing" option.

You know, I've heard that namechanging leads to VP impotence.

Nice update BTW.

Thanks. Good luck with your b/page in the near future, though the prospects for a "3 month or less" entry look quite dim after reading jon's assessment of your actual exp/b/p situation. Methinks you estimated a bit... low... somehow. But hey, nothing wrong with optimism (unless the three months go by and you're #550 or so and feel crushed that you didn't make it by your estimate... that is... so just avoid that kind of mindset, eh?).

Anywho, 7777 posts = done for today. As I mentioned to EKR in post 1 of 2, however, I expect to blast up to 7800 tomorrow with some MASSIVE catchup, so... see everyone then. Enjoy the list!

If I had said "What do you mean by that post? It seems contradictory." then it'd be obvious I was serious. But yeah, the n00b part was supposed to show sarcasm. =P

I'm pretty sure you won't. You'd have to get ten times the amount of B/Ps you have currently in order to even come close, and I'm pretty sure with only high 2000s for experience points you just won't have enough voting power. I could be wrong though. Keep shooting for that goal. I think in the meantime I'll just wallow just short of being in the top 500, and then perhaps the next time I get motivated enough I'll do a blam/protect spree for a week and get two rank ups again.

Such as newbies to the topic, for instance... and in the interests of everyone being clear on what's what, I thought that explaining it in my reply to you was teh best option, even if YOU yourself didn't actually need that explanation. Eh? #;-}>

Yada yada yada, ect.... Here, how about you don't go into these explainations for nothing. Let's have it so if I ask you a question directly then you can go and explain it. If I had said "What do you mean by that post? It seems contradictory." then it'd be obvious I was serious. But yeah, the n00b part was supposed to show sarcasm. =P

Blah blah blah AND yada yada yada.... How about you don't paint my overly-wordy replies to you as so useless, pointless, and/or silly, eh wot? #;-}>

Yes...I know. :)

At least you didn't say blah blah or yada yada this time. #;-}>

B/P fast = takes less time to get 3 rankups = GOOD VP LIST PERFORMANCE

Who would have guessed? ;)

NOT YOU, METHINKS! You're just pretending to know the truth now so you won't look stupid. HA HA! I'm on to you.

Haha, at least you have three digits in your exp rank. While I'm stuck with 4. Maybe in 30 years everyone above will die and I can get to level 30. :)

Yeah, but I have two digits in my VP rank and one digit in my b/p rank. My exp rank feels quite high in comparison, see?

Ahhh, is that what happened. Well, nevermind my "you must have missed the in-between-both-#202ranks update of the list" explanation, then! #;-}>

Yay, another misunderstanding resolved! Hehe, sorry for making you post all of those unneeded explainations. :o

Well, at least one of them got wrapped up nice and tidy-like, eh wot?

PS: I'll give you *insertsomethinggoodhere* if you can name all of my past screen names. XD

No thanks. I don't have a list for you... or anyone, as of late. Back in the days when I updated the VP list manually, I tended to keep track of all namechanges for people who changed names a lot (such as X-Naut), and thus I have huge lists for such people in a certain column of the VP list... but ever since August of last year, NG Lister has pulled names automatically, and thus I don't (and really CAN'T, easily) do that any more. Thus, all of your namechangery fun since then has only been casually observed by myself.

I think my fave one besides your NORMAL one... was Captain-Jack. :::nods:::

I will choose both. I have a school's weekly break at the end of the month so I have enough time to b/p like Denvish would :D

Have fun with that! I wish I could say the same. This weekend HAS been good to me, relatively speaking, compared to the past month or so... but still nothing like the good ol' days.

There were ZERO rankups in the top 100 VP this week. .

Sorry, I'm trying my best.

LOL! It's not all on YOU, damnit. Hell, for awhile there you were ranking up every freakin' update or something. Or so it seemed. But even the great Denvish, aka fixit-reborn, can't get 4500 b/p in one week. :::nods:::

Hmmm. Going to be pushing it to even maintain top 50 by the time I get to EGSC. Bummer.

Congrats to you for teh ownage of teh robot. Pushing it to even maintain top 50? I dunno about that. You're at 53 BEFORE the EGSC rankup... once you catapult up a bit, you'll certainly have a bigger safety cushion. We shall see.

Indeed. Won't be long till you hit the top 300.

Sure dealie.

Yes i know. I didnt really figure it out mathematically. It was just a roug hestimation of how long i thought it might take me if i picked it up a notch.

Gotcha. Well, no harm then. At least you didn't try to calculate it out perfectly and then fail miserably. #;-}>

lol. Well I didnt set a date or anything, so if i dont make it it wont be so bad. I will just re-evaluate. I aint gonna kill off all my time dedicating myself to making the list. ^_^ Just looking into the future as one day being on the list.

Good attitude, then.

It's not to torture you, it's to make tiebreakers fair and consistent and in keeping with NG's own policies (ties are often broken by signup, if not by exp... and I don't pull exp for this list like SK does, so... it makes better sense). So no, I'm not going to FUDGE you up over EKR next update to fit your warped sense of "justice," foolio. But yes, wuff. #;-}>

Yep. Though you were already at #25 amazingly last update... you were able to stay there despite signin passing you. Good job getting past Teh Pimp, now you're good (for now, at least).

Sorry, man. SlightlyCrazyDude's kinda going through the same thing lately... all I can tell you is to not give up and to keep on grinding out the VP, either through b/p or exp. Good luck!

At 2/13/05 11:36 PM, ReconRebel wrote: Still dug in like a tick at the 13th spot. Hey gfox, did all the people who went up by 0.01 instead of 0.02 miss an experience deposit somewhere along the way? I notice you always go up by 0.02 each time I check the list. A voting power of 12.00 is gonna look sweet in the old profile. Thanks for another great update gfox!

A) some people who deposit every single day go up 0.03 or 0.04 each week (those people are usually level 9 or level 10... the lower your exp, the more your VP goes up per 10 exp, you see).
B) the people who swap between 0.01 and 0.02 (such as yourself, I might add... you're often only 0.01 on an update, but do you miss any deposits? I don't think you do, so... yeah)... do so because their exp is higher.

You HAVE noticed that NemesisM66 is usually UNCH or MAYBE +0.01 each update, haven't you? The closer you get to the 10.00 baseVP, the slower your baseVP moves upwards. His TOTAL VP moves upwards quite slowly (but still faster than Pimp and HT, of course!).

As for most people who get 0.01 some updates and 0.02 other updates, think of it this way... that amount is a ROUNDED amount. By NG.

It's probably closer to the truth to say that such people get 0.015 VP per week (and thus per update).

But if your VP is 10.00 and then you gain 0.015 VP over a week... you end up with:
10.015 VP... which NG displays as 10.02 VP.. (+0.02)

and then the next week you gain the same 0.015 VP (it's actually a bit lower due to the above effects, but that's close enough from week to week)... you end up with:
10.030 VP... which NG displays as 10.03 VP.. (+0.01)

See? It flips between the +0.01 and the +0.02. even though the person is gaining the EXACT SAME amount of VP per week in this example. Hope that answers your question.

And finally, I don't always get 0.02 per update, BTW. I used to get 0.03s and 0.02s, then mostly 0.02s... nowadays I get 0.02s and 0.01s. Someday (in a few months, perhaps), I'll get my first 0.00 / UNCH. We all do, sooner or later. It's the price of increasing our exp at pace with Humantarget. ;_;

Congrats on that, it's always nice passing people when you only gain .01 - .02 per update.

ugh, i really miss the days of gaining 0.10+ per update . Damn you EGSC.

Damn it, foiled again. Well im upto 7.39 now, so heres hoping for next saturday, im actually trying to B/P aswell now, and i still cant get there, which makes it worse, bah, never mind, i'll get there eventually. Fucking sign up daye, why didnt i sign up when i saw NG, bah ;)
