ARGH. It wasn't until I just now read joob's post that I realised SevenStar's rankup was an EGG rankup. I didn't look that closely as SevenStar isn't in the top 100 yet.
This... is the first FULLY-outside-of-the-top100 EGG rankup... EVAR. I believe someone (I could look up who, but I don't feel like it. Nyah!) recently ranked up from OUTSIDE the top 100 INTO the top 100 with an EGG rankup, but that's not QUITE the same, since I did of course notice them.
So anyway, an off-update-notes-but-still-official SUPER congrats to SevenStar on a +0.43 EGG rankup (and a nice +38 boost on the list, as well).
Now... PRE-UPDATE CATCHUP TIME:

Wow, gfox, you are very active tonight. I thought that you were very busy ;/ Oh well, I guess it's fun to see you here more often even though it means a lot more of long replies during the week :)
Stopping by midweek means less work on the weekend to catch up. So... I'm trying to do it more often nowadays. But I can't always, so... it varies. You don't have to immediately respond with long replies, you can just wait for the weekend if you'd rather (and respond to two of my posts at once with a shorter overall reply).
Okay, I simply wanted a confirmation even though I would prefer an exact answer. Thanks.
Exact answers about +0.01s vs +0.02s for weekly gains... are impossible to give. Not only is it hard to tell immediately from someone's level (or their exact exp count + % bonus from b/p rank--if you want to be really precise) how much VP they gain per day or per week... but the whole "is it going to round down to 0.01 or round up to 0.02 this week?" issue, while not RANDOM, is hard to predict. For instance, I may go two weeks in a row with 0.01 gains, then get a 0.02 gain, then back to 0.01 for the next week... based on the 2-in-a-row a few weeks back, I might expect another 0.01 gain for the next week, but boom, it's 0.02 instead. It's not an easy pattern to see because it's dependent upon so many factors (humantarget, mostly, your own depositing, and the vagaries of the xx.xx rounding VP system on NG).
(gasp)
I thought that you meant copying me for everything as an account which is obviously not the case. heh ;/ I misunderstood you again.
No no no, I wasn't accusing you of posing as Bonus or anything (THANK GOD you don't).
That would be KIBA, of course. #;-}>
How about some exciting pictures? *Going to buy a webcam and a sexy underwear*
...
...
Just kidding :D
... I think that... um... even if you WEREN'T kidding... you should perhaps make a SEPARATE topic for such pics. Preferably somewhere far away on General or C&C or something, so I don't have to see it. Thanks. #;-}>

Heh, no, that's not what I was implying.

I just didn't go to the trouble of finding your previous posts in here to find out what you had expected.
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.
But unless the stuff you're putting your "previous reply" system into effect on... is present in the quoted material you're currently quoting while replying to one of my posts... then you DO have to go back to a previous post to find the before-last-time type stuff, man. O_o
I don't see how MPA: + GFOX: is going to fix what is simply a memory problem. O_o
I think one of us is ziggin, while the other is zagging tonight gfox.

I meant "scrapped" and the second to last line to be qouted.
A) I figured you did. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine how you were going to "scrape" an idea. #;-}>
B) I DID remember saying that part (plus I've never seen you do a O_o smiley), so no worries on the lack of italics-to-denote-quoting, it took less than a second to recognise what had happened. :::nods:::

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.
Heh. I was an EG Private First Class 2 years ago to this day... and my VP was 6.28%... or 5.27 less than what it is today.
agent66 not staying in #2 on the VP list... is a massive understatement, man. But even if he hadn't stopped depositing, he's never shown a real passion for keeping with the b/p game, so who knows if he'd have ever passed NemesisM66 in b/p rank and managed to get his VP higher than Nem's. :::shrugs:::
More than one person can have 16.00 VP, man. They just have to be tied at the same exp amount @ lv30. And hell, if Pimp was EGSC, 15.99 would be his VP... and that ain't all that far off from 16, now is it (2 days of depositing without the other guy depositing, to be precise). #;-}>
