Yoink was 20-30 ranks below you at some points, so of course you weren't competing directly with him for the past 2 years, I was just charting out the history of the longlonglong-term situation between the two of you that recently became a swap in the #2/#3 positions on the list. And yeah... No one could have predicted EXACTLY this outcome years later. Just as no one knows for sure what the top 50 will look like in another year or two, for example. Well, we can guess (fairly accurately, perhaps) at the VP AMOUNTS and ranges on the list... but who the people will be? Tough to know. Look at what can happen: dl_Monk and RyoHahn are dropping in VP due to not depositing all of a sudden. Who ELSE will stop depositing in the next year? No one (but perhaps each individual who may end up stopping) knows.
My posting of old NGling and Captain_Bob list snippets was simply to reverse-chart-out what just took place and show its roots in the early VP list days.

0.14 right now, but the bottom guy on the list isn't depositing. Good luck, one rankup should do it.
I do think I should be able to make this list by the end of the year ;)
Hahahahaha. I should hope so, or else you severely suck. #;-}>

Yes, if he doesn't deposit until more than a few hours after midnight on any given NG day, NG's system often doesn't recognise his deposit (in terms of recalculating "exp to the next level" amounts and "current VP" amounts for everyone else on the site) until later in the day, and SOMETIMES until the next day.
And thus, at times, TWO of his deposits take effect at the same time (usually around 1 AM on the day AFTER his deposit was late, if his deposit on the NEXT day is between midnight and 1 AM, that is) and doubly-screw over many people waiting for their VP to rise... or for a level up to stick (and not to fall back down to the previous level they just spent MONTHS of depositing getting the hell out of).

Dude. That's the laziest thing I've ever seen in here since the last time you dropped by and asked for a list repost.
My most recent list updates are ALWAYS LINKED TO in my sig. You see a post by gfox, you click on either "Voting Power" or "pentalist" and you will be taken to the VERY URL (page) of the most recent list update of either type... and you can see it on your own without having to pester me or someone in my thread for a repost, man. I've told you this before, too. (sigh) O_o

That said, thanks for helping the lazy bastard out, jooborz.
I never realised you were so high on the list :-\
When he disappeared and stopped b/ping and posting so many months ago, Recon kept depositing for him for a looooong time. However, he used to be ahead of me in exp. Somewhere along the line he fell behind on his own when others either weren't or couldn't deposit for him. </history lesson>

Indeed you have gone up... in the VP list world. That's a fairly small world, BTW, man... you don't need so much as a real goal in life... as a better sense of perspective when joking around, perhaps? #;-}> Congrats on passing a ton of people (not including me this time, thank the maker).

You stayed even on the list by passing someone else, though, so... no complaints, eh? #;-}>

The top 500 VP list is very hard to get on, but it doesn't usually result in death. The only person (that we know of) who died after getting onto this list was... of course... NG's own mad flashman... Livecorpse.

Can you guess what happened gfox? Me gives you a hint. (Twas' teh best rank-up ever)
10,000 + 4,000 = 14,000 for EG Major is pretty damned cool, yes. The numbers ain't as cool as my perfect 6,000 + 6,000 = 12,000 screenie from 2 years ago, BUT... 12k doesn't = rankup here on NG with the current b/p rank system, so... the balance tips in your favour. #;-}>
