yes nimmer, I try and follow those standards, althought I get quite angry, when I see submissions pass that arent really passing material, and I voted a one and it passes with like a 1.60 lol... but than again patience is a virtue... I seem to excel in blamming however... I think I will be in the top 50 before I reach level 11 definately!

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.

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?

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.

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. #;-}>

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. ;_;

It'll take you over four months to get to Praporshchik, which'll give you an extra 10% in base VP from where you are now, which'll be worth about 0.55. You should be able to get through one level in that time as well, which'll be good for another 0.3 ish. I'd say you're going to have to wait six months to be on the safe side.

Closing on a VP of 10.00, with luck I'll grab it by next week's update...
