Just ask someone who you trust to do it for you. I'm sure you have friends on the BBS or at home who can do it for you. But just in case you don't have those, then I'll volunteer. >_>

Indeed. I meant to mention that in the update notes but forgot to. Anyway, I didn't want to make a HUGE deal out of it anyway, since for THREE weeks straight I was constantly talking about how close-call-y it was that I predicted no more than 5 rankups for the next few weeks and for "the next few weeks" it was EXACTLY FIVE RANKUPS all three of those updates... but then BOOM, 0 the next one. Heh. Back to 5.

Christ. I have no idea what to expect for this week's. Except that I know it won't be 0, seeing as how Wylo ranked up between my update and SK's NGTL VP list update (and christ, he passed a TON of people, including Crono and Recon).

Woot!! Nice work jon =)

YAR! And he stayed at #100 for SK's update, too! I guess the feared imminent rankup of stafffighter never happened that night like he thought it would.

That range of your list is interesting me right now so that's why I completely analyzed it :D Nothing else to add? mmmm, I guess that you are right. I already covered enough until the next update which is technically tomorrow (sk's list) but I doubt that there will be huge changes in that range today so my next analysis will be Saturday or whenever I will need to :)

Well, Wylo's rankup shook up the top 20 a ton, and it happened between my update and SK's... so I'm sure there were other rankups lower down in the top 500. How many? I dunno and I'm not going to bother checking.

Quantilho has high exp, yes.

He's level 16. I would expect a +0.02 increase from him. I wonder what's approximately the vp change per week for someone at level 16.
It could be +0.01 one week, +0.02 the next, +0.02, +0.01, +0.02, etc.?
I will check sk's list tomorrow. If he missed one (a few?)) deposit(s) then it would explain his slow increase.

Yes, it alternates between 0.01 and 0.02 when you're a level 16/17/18 like me and him are. I don't know whether or not he missed any deposits, but it really doesn't matter, point is sometimes he gets the 0.01, sometimes he doesn't.

And Bonus ALWAYS copies you. What's new about that? #;-}>

O_o What do you exactly mean by that? He usually doesn't copy me.

Copies you on the list. The past few updates you've been tied in VP and VP change and everything, but you come out ahead of him based on signup date. I thought this was mentioned before? O_o

It's okay to reply late, but we already went over this, me and Kiba. I thought that perhaps he had missed seeing one update where you were #201 (you were 202, then 201, then 202), and so he saw the THIRD update, with you as 202 yet +1...

I'm sorry about your problems, man. But whether you don't deposit or someone deposits FOR you... it really doesn't matter in terms of the top 200. You've been depositing for 2 months and still you stay at #201/202 range. EVENTUALLY you'll make it up to the top 200, yes.

Wow, back when agent66 was #3... impressive. And yeah, I have all of NGling's old updates saved to text files, just like my own (which of course I didn't need to save from the BBS, I made them myself BEFORE posting them to the BBS, but... whatever, I saved them all the same way and put them all in the same place).

But let's see here... that update you pasted was from 7/2/03 according to the quoted bit I just snipped out (wheee)... let's see...

EARLIEST POSSIBLE UPDATE I could ever find of the VP list is actually from Captain Bob, prior to NGling running the list:

top 10 + Yoink from... February 25, 2003 (wow, two whole years ago now):

as of 2/25/03 3:00 AM CST
last updated 1/28/03 3:30 pm CST

1. NemesisM66 +12.62% +.04
2. agent 66 +11.75% +.01
3. Shrapnel +11.13% +.01
4. humantarget52 +11.00% 0
5. Narcissus +10.77% +.04
6. Pimp +10.56% +.20
7. HAQnSPITT +10.50% +.07
8. ramagi +10.48% +.25
9. innphernoe +10.41% +.22
10. HDS_Rebel +10.37% +.20
..
29. GreenVein +9.29% +.07

And here's NGling's very first update...
top 10 + Yoink from... June 8, 2003 (almost a month before the one you pasted):

Update: Sunday, June 8th, 2003

1.) NemesisM66 12.74
2.) agent 66 11.95
3.) ramagi 11.68
4.) Shrapnel 11.14
5.) humantarget52 11.00
6.) Narcissus 10.88
7.) Pimp 10.77
8.) HAQnSPITT 10.73
9.) innphernoe 10.59
10.) Stormwarden 10.36
..
20.) Yoink_The_Destroyer 9.84

So there ya go. The full history. ramagi was around #8 early in 2003, but by June (due to hitting EG General) she'd moved up to a STRONG #3 position (way above Shrapnel, as you can see above)... and then by July, she'd passed agent66 and moved into the #2 spot along with her EGSC rankup.

A little history of teh ramagi/Yoink VP battle that's been in the making for 2 years now! And has finally come to a conclusion with both of them at EGSC and frozen with no more b/p rankup VP boosts. Now... only exp deposits will determine what happens for them. ;_;

Last week I addressed the situation of the top 100 not gaining the most vp for a couple weeks straight. I then said something like "that should change shortly with all the EGSC boosts we'll be getting this week" whereas you replied with something like "you're damn right!"

So seeing the biggest gain of the five centuries this week as I had foresaw, I said "Just as expected."

I have a way to stop these misunderstandings, take note of the quotes after the teeter-totter stuff. The system may be refined, think of this is exlusive beta action. (i dunno)

Ah, yes. Well, on the Feb 5th update, the top 100 was the highest gainer with 1.88. And on Feb 12th, the top 100 didn't even break 1.00... but that was due to ZERO rankups, so it's not that much of a surprise.

Some of the other 100s have had down weeks like that as well, due to low (or no) rankups happening in that week. It was only a matter of time till it started happening to the top 100. Eventually, it will become the rule. ALL the other 4 100s will outpace the top 100 on an every-week basis.

So seeing the biggest gain of the five centuries this week as I had foresaw, I said "Just as expected."

gotcha. I just didn't remember the post of yours you were referencing. Anywho.

So this is what you were referring to. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with MPA: and GFOX:?

If you think I have a problem comprehending quotes, you're way off base, man. The reason I went "huh?" to your "just as I expected" thing wasn't that I wasn't reading quotes correctly... The quotes in that post of yours were simply of a portion of the list stats section with the gainage of the centuries on the top 500 list. I just didn't go to the trouble of finding your previous posts in here to find out what you had expected. I don't see how MPA: + GFOX: is going to fix what is simply a memory problem. O_o

I prefer to study another part of the vp ranking so:
I'm going to rank up sooner than expected :P I could get a star in the EGRL this week. My rank up is supposed to happen during the next week-end or later if my b/p situation gets worse. Too bad that it will be after the update.

Yes, it alternates between 0.01 and 0.02 when you're a level 16/17/18 like me and him are. I don't know whether or not he missed any deposits, but it really doesn't matter, point is sometimes he gets the 0.01, sometimes he doesn't.^

That's what I figured, so I decided to implement a fast/simple "previous reply" system to eliminate the need to go back through previous posts. It didn't turn out so hot so the idea is scraped.

I think one of us is ziggin, while the other is zagging tonight gfox.

My kingdom for a perfect post.

I meant "scrapped" and the second to last line to be qouted.

That is very interesting gfox. My VP is 4.00 VP higher than it was almost 2 years ago. agent66 sure didn't keep is #2 spot. Nemesis... he hasn't even hit EGSC yet and he'll probably always be #1. Those VP boosts through BP were great while they lasted. But there's only a limit to the absolute amount a user can get and that's 16.00 and only one user can obtain that. I doubt there will be more ways to boost the VP other than experience points and BP in the future. But who knows.. this site seems to be full of surprises at times.

Higher VP is always a good incentive to keep on going here.

I admit I'm guilty of missing that as well. It took me awhile to see it but once I saw that Yoink had a higher EXP I knew he'd pass you in VP once he got to EGSC!!!

But 13.40 votes is nothing to sneeze at. It'll take me a few years to get up that high, if I ever get there at all.
