Nice update gfox. Looks like not much happened to me here. I did pass iscrulz on the regulars updat, but he managed to pass me again. :P And my B/P'ing will be slow for a while since I'm getting Toohot100 to get blam points again. :)

Man, not even half of some of the ones I consider rivals. I've got some reviewing and serious point gaining to do in the portal. Posting too but I don't care much to do that at the moment, too busy reading manga. ;/

I've been waiting for the day to come when I make the list, feels like I can sit down now. Oddly enough, with every point I accumulate I feel a bit, dare I say cheerful. I guess I should shout 'I'M A STAT NUTTER AND A PROUD ONE AT THAT' now. B)

DonDoli with 3825

Seventh I see, very much impressive I believe.

and finally

I'm so happy you decided to include me.

DonDoli passes iscrulz and Rabindarath for #20.

Both really nice to pass, didn't even realise I was behind my dear old gal iscrulz, but I guess it makes sense when you think about it. And 20 is such a nice number, one could even say that I've made it into the top 20, making me pretty much surprised and impressed that my numbers are so strong.

And now I have two celebs to swoosh by, Yoinker and Joe. And the threats from behind me passed me without me noticing, so I'm happy with my current spot.

Thanks a bunch for the update.

It's about the best of NG in a lot of different categories added together. Read further back in this topic, especially the first page or two, or read the full history on the list update page itself for more details.

Or just ask myself or other list fans in this topic specific questions, and we'd be happy to answer and clarify things for you.

Short story:

Started out as a list of people with 10,000 or more points in at least ONE major stat... was later changed to a list of people with 10,000 or more points in at least TWO separate major stats. If it was still the old way, there'd be 300+ people on the list instead of ~130 people, and it'd be nearly impossible to update monthly for someone like me with a full time job.

but I'm on it, so hooray me! And congrats to all the other new users who made this list.

Heh. You're on it, indeed. Congrats and enjoy your stay, you've entered an elite group of NG users, whether you fully realise it yet or not. #;-}>

It sure did. Seems like you were around 9500 posts for like 6+ months or so. What took so long, man? (pot calling the kettle black here, I know... but my lack of 10k posts isn't holding me back from being on the pentalist, so it's a bit different, IMO)

But anywho... I don't think your line of the list will be insanely sexy until you hit the big 10k exp, man.

10k exp is just so badass on its own... and plus you'll be quadlisted then, too, which along with being in the top 10 pretty much seals the "badass pentalister" deal. Sadly for me, I will probably never get to have both at once. Sure, I was in the top 10 for a goooooooooooood long time, and I'll hit quadlisted sooner or later once I get my lazy ass up to 10k posts... but by that time I'll be lucky to be in the top 15 or maybe even top 20. ;_;

Your 700th post? Why thank you, I'm honoured by that. :::nods:::

I understand why.... you're in the top 20, after all!

I'm so happy you decided to include me.

DonDoli passes iscrulz and Rabindarath for #20.

Include you in the list movement section? I usually include all positive moves in the top 20 or top 25 every update, and then only mention the major moves outside of that. If I hadn't mentioned you much before, it's because you were only getting +1s or +2s up till you entered the top 25.

And now, of course, a +2 becomes far far far more impressive than a +2 was back in the top 50, so it merits a mention easily.

Both really nice to pass, didn't even realise I was behind my dear old gal iscrulz, but I guess it makes sense when you think about it. And 20 is such a nice number, one could even say that I've made it into the top 20, making me pretty much surprised and impressed that my numbers are so strong.

Dear old GAL? #;-}>

One COULD say? One already HAS said. Dude, what else would you call getting to #20? #;-}>

And now I have two celebs to swoosh by, Yoinker and Joe. And the threats from behind me passed me without me noticing, so I'm happy with my current spot.

IOW, you could be higher, but at least you didn't back slide, made it up into a cool new area of the list nonetheless, and have been passing some legends of the list, with more legends still up ahead to pass. Correct? And indeed, you're having fun on the list because you're in a fun spot right now. Keep on enjoying it, because it doesn't last forever, sadly.

Thanks a bunch for the update.

You're all quite welcome, glad to see some comments this time, it feels like more response than I've been getting for a few months now, but that might just be that I'm catching up on the BBS right away after an update instead of 1-2 or more weeks later. :::shrugs:::

Don't know how long I can hold onto the #4 spot with all the others jockeying for position (freakin' stat whores) but I'll do what I can. I said it before and I'll say it again; it makes me sad to see MPA dropping in rank. Hopefully he'll continue to grab points until he reaches 100k.

The easiest way to know if it's me is by looking at my flashes. If a lot of flashes listed in my profile have "Bahamut" in the name, then it's me. #;-}>

At least when you couldn't make up your mind between Bahamut7, Bahamut-, and Bahamut... the core of your name stayed the same.

I once used -Bahamut-, but I didn't like 2 hyphens in that name. I went back to Bahamut7 and then I used Bahamut- which I thought is the closest to Bahamut. Or I could've used the name Bahamut_Not_Bahamut- if underscodes and hyphens at the end of the names were still allowed. :P I was going to use that name so I don't see people calling me Bahamut- on reviews and on the BBS, lol.

Hallomut or Bahaween... try one of those instead if you really really HAVE to have a seasonal nickname. #;-}>

Helloween is better, becuase:

1. The names Hallomut and Bahaween look like completely different names to me.
2. The band Helloween is one of my favourite bands.

Do I have to go through every line of the song until we find something that you can relate t

Yes. XD

Nah, just joking.

Hmm.

Pfffft! I still got 1000+ protection points to make it on the list, I hope that I can make it before the new year. :P

My long, long wait is almost over to get back onto this list. I think i was on the original for a week or two before the format changed, so it's all good.

the save age will fall soon after the post whores and blammers make the list.

Whatever. Elfer is the only exp/post heavy bastard who's going to make the list anytime soon with less than 1000 saves to his account. Everyone else who's an

exp/blam/post whore usually has fairly decent saves.

Mostly exp whores b/p whores get less saves than exp whores, posts the least

expect it to be in the present so quickerly.

Yeserly

It happens because the updates have been monthly since March, of course.

Swell.

Jesus christ... noticed this while making the above LLL post: 18 characters remaining.

Next update, I won't be able to post the LLL in one post (at least, not with the current formatting it has). I'll have to give that some thought next month,

Just kick the crappy users off.

You people and your silly aliases. Speaking of which, what the hell is up with X-Naut's recent name-changing binging? O_o

That crazy X-Naut's always changing his alias. What was his alias at that time?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure he's in the "checking for 1x10k" section of the spreadsheet.

Swell. He'll probably make it on a lot later than I thought though. That connection got even worse. The only way that account gains points now is from the submissions which are still UJ from the day before, which results in a lot more saves than blams. While the ratio may be nicer, the gain is awful.

Apparently not! Your reign continues unabated.

Until this month that is. My B/P rate slowed down along with my PPD. Damn my absence =(

Yeah, well, ramagi's gonna pass him in b/p after he retires, but I'm sure she'll take it. Regaining her b/p throne > how it happens.

Indeed. I'm still wondering where she's planning on retiring.

My large blocky text posts are the reason I'm not already to 15,000 posts. #;-}>

Heh, true. I'm sure you could find some way of making more of them though ;)

Why would they be easy to find for me? I don't go to General. They're almost impossible for me to find. That's why I rely on you guys to find them for me.

ESPECIALLY for 10k+ posters.

I don't go to general either. There's some guy with amost 19,000 posts and I have no idea who they are. The only reason I know of him is because of absent's top posters list. Heh.

More and more I feel like it may just be discontinued. Sorry to break it to you guys so out of the blue and abruptly and not even in its own announcement post, but... it's the truth. Iscrulz and I were already talking about this, more or less.

It will be a shame to see this list go. It's certainly my favourite.

I'm at that stage now where everyone ahead of me on the list is someone who it will be great to pass =)

A great HONOUR to pass, I hope you mean. #;-}>

Most of them, yes. Others not so much ;)

Looks like I passed Bahamut on the pentalist. Awesome.

I suspect that pepeatumi will get the gold for this month.

Well, thanks for the ... um... different yet similar statements about the list there. I can tell you both care and want to see list updates... but I must say that AfroStud has a far better way of letting me know that than Bonus does. #;-}>

:::clears throat:::

Gather 'round, folks, I have an announcement. There's a reason the update's late for once.

Two weeks ago, towards the end of October, I realised that both needing to pay November's rent and needing to update the pentalist on the first weekend or at least the second weekend of the month... were coming up soon.

And... not for the first time... I felt a bit of "urgghhgh... I don't have the energy for this" with regards to the latter.

That's nothing new, no. But it used to be, especially back when I was updating the list every week, that for every "bad update" the other three of the month would be far more enjoyable. The same was true every month, at first, when I changed to once a month updates in March. The only thing was that now a bad feeling due to an update, due to lack of free time, due to the delays I've caused to these "supposed to be on the first weekend of the month" updates.... now they lasted a lot longer, with there being 4-5 weeks between updates.

Anyway, long story short, the last two or three updates have been almost "weekends of dread." Starting with a REALLY delayed August update, perhaps, then continuing with September and October... and now with the start of November, yet another pang of "Do I have to?"

And of course the answer is no.

I've been busy and drained with my current job since I got it in June of 2005. But it's more than that now. My girlfriend's been shipped around from graveyard shift (11PM to 7AM) to evening shift (3PM to 11PM) at her job, and soon she's getting to go back from graveyard after 2+ months of horribly messed up sleep schedule... to evening shift (vastly preferred). That's been messing with our free time together. We want to see a movie, it usually takes two weeks to find the time for us both to go with our schedules and due to sometimes just one of us not feeling like it when we both CAN go, technically. Her new schedule means her weekends are Wednesday and Thursday, which sucks, but at least we'll be at work SOME of the same time (3PM to 6PMish) and asleep some of the time same time (4AM to 7AMish), instead of totally reversed like right now (she gets home and I leave for work 20 minutes later, and we hardly see each other, even on the weekends due to her sleeping all day).

Add to that the fact that Final Fantasy XII came out on October 31st, and I've been playing it every single day for two weeks now. It is a wonderful game. The BEST FF game since FFVII back in the early 90s... and possibly my fave of all time, topping a top list that goes something like this now:

12, 3, 1, 4, 6, 5, 9, the rest...

AND... at work, I may be starting to get more responsibility than I already have and going on business trips starting in February of next year, which is not very far away anymore.

What am I trying to say, folks? As most of you have deduced, probably at the very start of this post, when you read the bit of convo between me and AfroStud that I chose to quote... the end of the list is nigh.

With the reinvention of NG that is coming up soon, and with the end of 2006 coming soon as well... and with my free time at such a premium during work weeks, and even on regular weekends... a simple solution presented itself to me that day a couple weeks ago when I started to really question my reasons for continuing the list when I'm starting to enjoy the process of making it less and less (I always enjoy the result, of course... but it's an issue of balance)... a solution that seems to "fit" right now:

I will be updating the list during my four day Thanksgiving weekend.

I will be updating the list during either my four day Christmas weekend or my three day New Years weekend, depending on my holiday plans for the former.

And that is all.

I dunno what else to say about it. It's not really up to debate, either with you or myself, I've made a final decision. The only exception to this is that I may decide to make a nostalgic "one more time for the road" type update if I ever hit 10,000 posts. But I doubt that would be a full "trying to be perfectly accurate" update, anyway. It might be an update of the original 30 doublelist pentalisters from 2005 or something, or else a top 50 or something limited, in any event.

And I sure hope I do hit 10k posts some day, but let's face it, folks.... I'm only around here when I post updates. If the updates end... aside from my 10 exp a day... seeing much of gfox on NG kinda ends, too.

But we'll see. Maybe without the updates taking up all my time, I'll feel like posting around here MORE, not less. I hope so.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend. I spent a few hours catching up on the BBS mod and review mod forums this evening, and I'd like to play some FFXII tonight (my playing-it-every-day streak is still going strong, and probably will be all the way to Christmas, when I may go out of town and break it... (sniff))... because I spent 120+ minutes this afternoon watching THE HOUSTON DYNAMO narrowly beat the New England Revolution for a MLS championship in the first year of the team's existence here in Houston. WOOT!!

And that was fun. But a day filled with traffic, errands, some Houston Texans action on TV, some Houston Dynamo action on TV, and now a ton of reading of three forums of NG BBS + watching the Houston Rockets on TV... leaves little time for relaxation or FFXII. So now I must go. But I'll be around in the coming week, or at least the weekend. Catch you all later, have a great week.

Well Gfox, I think I speak for everyone when I say... Damn you, for having Final Fantasy XII. As for the list don't worry about real life is a bit more important than some list. So just enjoy what little time you have with your girl, and enjoy FFXII.

And FFXII over FFIII? Seriously?

ARGHGHGH... I actually deleted and reposted my post because of another error, and now it's too late cause there's a reply now... but I feel compelled to CORRECT this one with a reply from my alt, at least.

I meant FFVI, not FFVII. My silly finger typed an extra I there. As you can tell from the list below, I hold 6 in high regard, not 7. 7's okay, in fact it's probably right behind 9 on my list, but the below are the games that I would be very very sad if they didn't exist. If 2, 7, 8, 10, X-2, etc. didn't exist, I wouldn't be that sad.

12, 3, 1, 4, 6, 5, 9, the rest...

And just to make it clear, the above numbers are ALL Japanese numbers. IOW, 1, 2, 3 in the US were actually 1, 4, 6.

3 = 3j

They haven't released it in PR yet? I know it's not getting released till February in Australia/NZ and I heard Europe as well doesn't have it yet, but... sheesh. I woulda thought the North America release included PR.

As for the list don't worry about real life is a bit more important than some list. So just enjoy what little time you have with your girl, and enjoy FFXII.

Well, playing FF12 isn't really "real life," but yeah, the other things I mentioned as taking up all my time are actual serious real life things, so... heh. #;-}>

Thanks for making the very first response to my announcement a rational one! It's a nice prelude to all the people who're gonna be acting like the end of the pentalist is AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE (but to be honest... I'll admit that I'm looking forward to such responses, too... I'm gonna miss the pentalist as well, of course. ;_;)

So yeah, bring on all the replies, folks. Both angry, happy, resigned, wistful, nostalgic... be they insults or praise... be they in all seriousness or sarcastic as hell.... I want to read them all in the coming days. Feel free to vent, if you want to vent, seriously.

And FFXII over FFIII? Seriously?

The reason I clarified in response to myself up there that I meant Japanese numbering for all FFs was in case you're a huge FF3us/6j fan.

If you do mean over FF3j, which is what I meant... then.. well, yes, it seems to be going that way. I'm only about 38 hours into the game, and I've been playing really slowly and enjoying leveling and getting extra license points for tons of skills and so forth, so really probably only around 10-15 hours of actual plot gametime so far....

but if the game continues as it is now, it is going to win the spot at the top of my fave FF list, yes.

And I love 3 and 1 for the NES/famicon.

I played 1 as recently as a few years ago on the PSX graphical-upgrade rerelease, so it's somewhat fresh in my mind. As for 3... I've only played it as the translated ROM back in the 90s, and I LOVED it... I did play it a little on the famicon back in Japan in 1991 while I lived there, but it wasn't translated (duh), so I didn't know what was going on in the little I played it at a bilingual friend's house.

FF3 is out for the Nintendo DS, though. I'm seriously considering buying a DS almost entirely because of that one game. Though getting Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime would be another good (but secondary) reason, also. #;-}>

You know what, I'm kinda involved in watching the Rockets game now (Houston 51, Miami 51... ooo...), so I'm gonna go ahead and use gfoxclock to catch up on this thread, at least. I read the VP list update and all, too, but I'll reply to other threads later. Gotta at least catch up in here before all the reactions flood in to my announcement post. :::gears up to multi-reply in the next post:::

Houston 64 - Miami 56!!!

10 straight points for Houston.

Yao Ming is TEARING THIS SHIT UP! Oooooohhhh hell yeah.

Heh! So you did. Helps that MPA has gone to the gfox school of relative-NG-inactivity on his main account.

Don't know how long I can hold onto the #4 spot with all the others jockeying for position (freakin' stat whores) but I'll do what I can. I said it before and I'll say it again; it makes me sad to see MPA dropping in rank. Hopefully he'll continue to grab points until he reaches 100k.

Yeah. I hope a lot of us can. It's gonna be easier for MPA than for me, at least.

There's a list of people who got booted off the 1x10k version of the list... and a list of people who got booted off the quadlist when it became the pentalist...

The written way! That's a great way to put it, man. I'm gonna have to use that when I mean "by posts or reviews" like when I said the only way I can get to 100k points easily would be to become a post/review whore.

Jesus Christ. Does that dude have 10k+ in any other stat(s) or will he by Christmas? If so, please post his profile # or a link here, thx.

Just to be clear I was talking about FF3 in the US (6 in Japan). In other words the one with the Espers and Shadow... That'll make it a bit easier.

FFXII has been released here already, its just I haven't gotten a chance to actually go out and buy it (hopefully I'll get it this week).

As for Yao, of course he's tearing it up. He's been doing that since last season (before the foot injury) and it looks like he's finally living up to all the hype he recieved when he first came to the States. I'm surprised Houston is winning despite the fact that T-mac is having an off night.

So a huge thanks for it all, even if I was only able to be involved in the aftermost part of it.

The only exception to this is that I may decide to make a nostalgic "one more time for the road" type update if I ever hit 10,000 posts.

That would be awesome.

But we'll see. Maybe without the updates taking up all my time, I'll feel like posting around here MORE, not less. I hope so.

What is it again?

Customer service. It's not actually an insanely hard job, but it is somewhat stressful. Some weeks are better than others, but when you have a ton of customers yelling at you for shit beyond your control, it's never fun.

16 or so months of taking it and taking and taking it (and plenty of good customers that call me, as well, I should point out) = I'm pretty good at it now, but it still doesn't leave me enough free time for my liking.

After working a graveyard shift ANYWHERE, i'd work as Chucky in a Chuck E' Cheese.

She makes a bit more money from the police department than Chuck E' Cheese would pay, though...

Eh. We're both trying to bring home the bacon. Such is the way of life in a capitalistic society (for the middle class at least). Could be better, but could be worse, too.

That's well ... good to hear, i know it's not preferable for a couple that's TO BE WED ... in time, but i wouldn't be able to imagine to not be able to have much of ANY free time with the one i love.

We're gonna get married on our 10th anniversary of being in love, which'll be in May of 2010.

Is that a negative thing too?

It's both. Less free time, more cool stuff to do at work, possibly bonuses, etc. etc.

What am I trying to say, folks? As most of you have deduced, probably at the very start of this post, when you read the bit of convo between me and AfroStud that I chose to quote... the end of the list is nigh.

Fuck^2

FUCK SQUARED. Awesome.

I will be updating the list during my four day Thanksgiving weekend.
I will be updating the list during either my four day Christmas weekend or my three day New Years weekend, depending on my holiday plans for the former.

Here it comes Michael.

And that is all.

/wrists

LOL! Sorry, man, but that was great. This is what I was waiting for. Now who can top Bonus' reaction to my announcement post, eh??! ANYONE UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

In which case Greg, now that people won't be expecting a list, whenever possible, if not just one MEDIUM SIZED (since there's no small with you) post in well ... LUL, or the B/S,VP threads. Just so you don't become an account where we wonder where you went.

Who knows, maybe I'll change to a frequently-posting small-post poster due to this! (GASP)

Take what i said into account :(

I already did!

But we'll see. Maybe without the updates taking up all my time, I'll feel like posting around here MORE, not less. I hope so.

I had like ... 50 characters ... so yes ... good weekend :)

Yar. Great sports weekend. I wish for my dad's sake that Texas had beaten Kansas State on Saturday night, but... oh well, can't have it all. Still, here's the final tally on today's "sports games Greg watched" action:

HOUSTON TEXANS 13, Jacksonville Jaguars 10.
HOUSTON ROCKETS 94, Miami Heat 72
HOUSTON DYNAMO 1, New England Revolution 1 after two overtime periods
penalty kicks: HOUSTON 4, New England 3

BTW, espers and magicite, both of which FF3/6 introduced, are all over the place in FF12.

And yes, FF12 is better than FF3/6.

You should try the actual FF3. It's an amazing game. It just had shitty graphics due to being on the NES.

Yeah, it was the injury that marred last season. T-Mac isn't just having an off night, he's having an off last year or so. I hope he can turn it around, because as awesome as Yao is becoming as he reaches his full potential, as you point out with the hype comment quite rightly... we need T-Mac to strive for greatness alongside him to have any chance in the playoffs.

You said this before when you went from weekly updates to monthly. =/

Yes, but when I changed to monthly, I just stopped coming around the BBS every weekend, like I'd had to when I updated weekly. So I ended up kinda "saving my catchups" till after I updated the list.

Which meant I posted less often to begin with. But on top of that, then I'd have list updates that got delayed from 2 to 10 days... and if it got delayed until the middle of a work week... then there was no way I had time to do a lot of posting after posting the update. I had to finish the update, post it quick, maybe do a BIT of catch-up in a couple topics, but not get anywhere NEAR all caught up on all the topics.

And that would keep happening month after month. Without the list, that simply won't be an issue.

I hope so too though.

Thanks.

I can't say enjoy the update just yet... but I can say enjoy the memories, I guess? There's still time to enjoy the pentalist for awhile longer, I wanted to make sure and give you guys enough notice that it wouldn't be an abrupt halt. Have a good week, all.

From what I've heard it's supposed to be the best game ever made. But the shots I've seen give me the impression it won't be. Also the characters look somewhat dull. But then still shots and gameplay are completely different things. As long as there's a good storyline and they don't try to overcomplicate things, all will be good.

topping a top list that goes something like this now:

12, 3, 1, 4, 6, 5, 9, the rest...

Is there a reason you didn't love 7? I still regard that as the best game ever made.

7, 6, 1, 9, 5

The rest I didn't care too much for, though I haven't played 3. 2 is by far the worst of the lot.

the end of the list is nigh.

Is there no-one who could perhaps take over this list when it ends?

FF3 is out for the Nintendo DS, though.

Still TBC here >=(

I'm seriously considering buying a DS almost entirely because of that one game.

Oh how we waste so much money on a console for one game or two.

I normally buy all the consoles I want on release date, though I won't bother with the PS3 because Sony are just taking the piss with the price. Also if you do buy it on release date, you have to spend more money at a later date for a hard-drive for it. I'm hoping it will be a huge flop here, but I strongly doubt it will be, especially since it sold out on the day of release in japan *sighs*

Unfortunately the Wii appears to have been a flop here, I only pre-ordered it the other week and I found out I was the 11th to do so. That doesn't sound promising at all. I feel sorry for Nintendo, since you know that their console will have the better games in general, where as the PS3 is focusing on other things besides gaming, which is what consoles are supposed to be for.

Indeed. I'm still wondering where she's planning on retiring.

111,111!

123456 would be nicer IMO

I don't go to general either. There's some guy with amost 19,000 posts and I have no idea who they are. The only reason I know of him is because of absent's top posters list. Heh.

Jesus Christ. Does that dude have 10k+ in any other stat(s) or will he by Christmas? If so, please post his profile # or a link here, thx.

Not even close ;)

Doubtful, i don't even know when it is, i'm Scottish for God sake!

There's a list of people who got booted off the 1x10k version of the list... and a list of people who got booted off the quadlist when it became the pentalist...

I got booted off the original 10k list one week after i got on it. I was majorly pissed off, and i never really came back to Wi/Ht? after that.

A non-lazy person could find those lists by digging deep into this topic and/or the website (I'm not sure which "format change" you're referring to offhand)... sadly, I am not such a person. ARE YOU? #;-}>

Yeah, i'm too fucking lazy, Scottish remember. The 'format change' i was reffering to was when the original 10k list changed to the quadlist (i'm assuming that was before you actually counted reviews?).

So i doubt i';; be actually on the fuckin list after al. The Slightly-Crazy-Dude account has been retired until 07. It's just something i wanted to do.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!! YOU ALWAYS DO THIS!

Heh, it's been a while since I made my last post in here. I got some good stats as of late:

25´000 Blams
---------&---------
15´000 Saves

So, more important:
How have you all been? =)
