Well, when you're basing the numbers on 0.01, then yeah, it's a pretty big number. Let's put it this way: it's REALLY close to 0.01.

Yeah, decimals really can screw with your mind. Fortunately for you SK, the decimals usually round to the nearest .01, so it won't be that hard. I would like to see a comparitive though. Like what the person's VP was last update..."not a sermon, just a thought."

"it will appear correctly" ... Waiting for a huge mess on vp rankings :P.

Such optimism.

Yeah >:O Haven't they figured out that you rarely make mistakes? </serious>

No worries...

...mate, would you like some bonzer tucker to go with your fair dinkum daquiri?

I didn't make any major changes, just changed the number format that the program uses to output the lists. I know exactly what that command will do, and I know it will work correctly.

Yeah, I'd think it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I mean, all you really have to do is use your varable that stores the % (call it X):

X = (round(X * 100)) / 100
...or if you wanted to round it to .001, then use this:
X = (round(X * 10)) / 10

As for other aspects, I make no guarantees ;-)

Wait a minute! What the hell did I get in the mail then!?!?!

That's supposed to be rounded off, because it's not really there. Problem fixed, though, and it'll appear correctly in the next Sunday update.

Well, the reality is that alterations in daily VP increase occur out that far, so I don't know that it's necessarily a coding error. The difference between something like 0.0199995 and 0.02000046 may appear miniscule, but is kind of important in the long run. Rounding will make them both appear as .020, which doesn't show the fact that one is inevitably pulling away from, or catching up to, the other.

I'm surprisingly high on the RRR list. With all the people who are more concerned with their reviews and response rates, I presumed I'd be down past 500.

OMFG!!
Shat t3h Kat posted up a RRR list!! j00 r t3h best! i <3 you man! hahahah. boy oh boy, we used to have a similar dealy-o at the 'top reviewers list' for a while... for the most part Gfox was making the updates, then when he pissed off for a few months, Seizure_Dog started to do it for a bit...
but now, NOW! hahahah.
man, great programming, and great updates.

But you see, the problem here is that I never pulled or generated those little bitty numbers. I store the backup data in XX.XX format, and I pull the VP from the profiles in XX.XX format. I can guarantee you without a doubt that those extra digits are false. This is why I tend to avoid non-integer variables; they always manage to have some inaccuracy.

Im assuming you need 200 or more reviews to get on this RRR list that youve concocted SK, yet another fucking goal i have to look forward to. Damn you SK, and damn me for wanting to be part of it. *sigh*

Nope, its 100+. He was going to make it 200+ but didn't in the end.

Yup. SCD, you're ranked #425, with a 22.14% response rate.

You are on it, silly! You only need 100 reviews, SK lowered the requirement. You're #425 at the moment. I'm only #502 :(

Good competition again Denvish, this is pretty fun. With all my effort I was only 2 points ahead of you. I'm still not sure what the deal is with this Ya-Ya, no bbs posts and has been getting over 2,300 b/p per month since his/her sign-up. Thanks for the regular updates SK.

I'm not concerned with that. I seem to stay about 15% without tryign which is fine. Heck I don't even focus on review numbers.

A 4-way tie!?!?!?!?!

Technically, that tie was broken by NG because it listed them in its own order. Which means you beat me. I hate you.

i find that i rarely get jibbed by those sorts of things, seeing as though my name is pretty much half way through the alphabet. :)

NG lists ties for deosit time in inverse alphabetic order. Make your name start with a dash and you'll be first in a tie, make it start with an underscore and you'll be last.

Wouldn't it be regular Alphabetic Order, but since it's upside down, then....well, I guess you could say that.

I swear, on the soul of Chris Farley, that I will never resort to using a "-" before my name just so I can win the QuickDraw...lol

well, what you COULD do is this.
at 11:55pb, change your name to like -RedCircle-.
deposit, change alias back :) haha.
once i got 12:00:08 or something, and i came in 14TH!!!??? lol, some people must live for the quick draw.

It should have been a five way tie, but my 12:00:00 AM deposit time didn't appear on the list :( . WHY NG, WHY???!
