Yey, the account is back on the rise, now I must get it back where it was before it began falling.

Yeah, you stopped the slide back on that update, and now he's on the move back up. Where was he when he stopped depositing? 14.42 or so?

Now, the downfall of using the deductive method I previously described is you're left with an incorrect number. The easiest to demonstrate this with is the 13.xx VP group.
He could have subtracted the rank of the guy ABOVE the x.xx range he was looking for from the rank of the guy at the bottom of that range if he'd wanted to use his method but also have correct numbers.
IOW, intead of 4-2 = 2 for 13.xx by using bila and Yoink, he could have taken the diff between bila and NEMESISM66, or 4-1 = 3.
Anyway... just thought I'd point that out. The real numbers are 1, 3, 11, 27, 52 and 6. Any particular reason you decided to stray from gfoxcooks old method, which was listing all users with a VP higher than each amount, in preference of listing the number of people at each range?
Or yeah, he could have just done it the way I used to do it. But it's no big deal to me. Thanks for pointing all of that out so I didn't have to, though. I would have rambled a ton more (than I already did!) in this post had you not saved me the trouble. :::tips cap to MrJames::: #;-}>

Ah, finally an update. Thanks!
It was time for one plus nobody else wanted to do it.
Oh, I'd love to still be doing 'em, I just don't have the time and energy. #;-}>
After I retired the list in March, after all, I updated a minilist ONE time only... on May 31st, 2005.
I would have done it again in the months since then, but I started my current (no longer new, really) and time-consuming job in June, so I never had time to add more to my weekend than I have already (pentalist doesn't update itself, after all).
fixit vp is only going down so its wont be long before bonustage replaces replaces him and you replace pingpong.
HOORAY! #;-}>
Biweekly on weekends and when I am not banned.
I thought you were going for monthly? Or was there no update between 9/10 and 10/11 only because you were banned around 9/24?

I imagine there'd be less calculation and thus less room for error in the old-fashioned format, since you'd just have to look at the last rank for each group and bingo, you have your number. ; )
I didn't don't and won't know how gfox calculation were done.
There were no calculations. Like he just said, I just "took the bottom rank of each VP range and made a list showing how many people were above that x.00 mark"... well okay, he didn't say EXACTLY that, but that's what he meant by "look at the last rank for each group and bingo" part of his post. If you're still unclear on what he means, look:
1 A 13.50
2 B 12.75
3 C 12.50
4 D 12.25
5 E 11.90
6 F 11.66
7 G 11.11
8 H 11.01
9 I 10.80
...
etc. etc. etc.
In the event of an update like the above (hopefully with users not named "A," "B," "C," etc. #;-}>), I just had to NOTICE (not calculate) that one person has over 13.00 VP, four people have over 12.00 VP, eight people have over 11.00 VP, etc. etc... it's not about calculations, it's about noticing the RANK NUMBER next to the LAST person to have "xx.00" VP on the list and just making a list of those numbers:
13.00+ - 1
12.00+ - 4
11.00+ - 8
etc.
see? Easy, no mess, no fuss, no work. Just simplicity.

I managed to do some awesome gainage this time! +17 ranks and a .58 increase in voting power... very cool!. Getting into the top 30 shouldn't be too much of a problem, Shrapnel deposits everyday, but he doesn't gain VP lol! and dl_Monk is not depositing anymore.
Toocool100 is still ahead of me... I doubt he will let me pass him anytime soon...
Well, seeing as how Toocool has around your exp amount... and you're now at the same rank... but you're still behind him by 0.01 VP... it's possible you'll TIE with him a couple times in the next few weeks... but no, you won't be passing him.
Unless you beat him to EGSC, of course. #;-}>
