DEVIATION FROM THE NORM ALERT
I'm going out of town Friday morning... mostly because I will be going to Tom Fulp's talk on Alien Hominid and NG at the SXSW (South by Southwest) music/film/interactive festival in somewhat-nearby Austin, Texas (a 3 hour one-way drive from my apartment in Houston)... and then meeting him afterwards and so forth. Nifty, eh?
Anyway, long story short: I hope to be back on Saturday evening, as I'm staying at my parents' place near Austin over night and will be doing yard work and stuff on Saturday, but... I MAY not make it back until Sunday. In that event, the VP list will obviously be one day later than usual (though I always said this was an "every weekend updated list," not an only-Saturdays list. It just so happens that since I started doing the list every week as a top 500, I have MANAGED (sometimes just barely) to get the list done on EVERY SINGLE Saturday from late August 2004... to March 2005 now. Which I feel is quite impressive, personally. #;-}>
So, that streak might end tomorrow. Or maybe it won't (we'll have to see!). Just don't be posting up a "WHERE IS TEH LIST!?!?" shitstorm in here while I'm gone most, if not all, of Saturday, okay? You can't say I didn't tell you where the update is: it might be late. That is all. #;-}>
And yes, this is my last post until then, so there ya go.

Looks like it'll only be taking one more rank up to enter the top 300. Looks as if my estimate of three total from earlier just became two me thinks. ;)
Well that's a good, positive thing indeeeeed. And I am personally AMAZED that your name is back to normal/original state. And quite happy. How long do you figure it might stay like that? :::hopes beyond all hope:::

i meant that i never thought i'd get this far regarding all my stats, and with d0gma already being EGSC he isnt gonna be getting much more voting power then the others,when some get up to EGSC or so (depends on EXP.) then d0gma shall receive the lovely #37 ^_^
Ahhh, okay. You know, all of your stats ARE quite impressive... including your record-breaking batting average, I might add, which just might be your most impressive stat of all (it's the only one you're #1 in, after all #;-}>).
I think Dogma might end up moving to #35 again (for the third time) rather than fall back to #37, but I guess time will tell.

I'm naturally pessimistic so that will be difficult :P. I'm aware that I still have 4 vp boosts coming up in the next 3 months but there are still 1085 people in front of me for experience pts so technically, it's very possible for me to get bumped off the top100 after reaching the last rank.
Possible, yes. But highly unlikely. By the time you GET into the top 100... and definitely by the time you get to EGSC... you will be much higher than #1086 in exp (perhaps even around #900? Or #800?). And you SHOULD know by now that SOOOOOOOO MANY HUNDREDS of those people aren't even depositing at all. So chill, man. The ones who ARE depositing, for the most part, aren't b/ping much (if at all), anyway.
It doesn't have the same meaning. On the other list, I have a vp advantage which is directly related to the vp ranking. In this one, a sign-up date advantage which means that you are using another stat that isn't directly related to this list to break the ties.
Actually, on the other list, if you mean SK's, ties are broken by signup date as well. Ties just happen far less often, due to the xx.xxxx format. Doesn't mean they still can't happen.
As for using a non-related stat to break ties... that may be. But it's a NG tradition. It's how ties on ALL the lists are supposed to be broken (well, on the exp and b/p and some other lists I believe it IS how ties are broken... perhaps the top 10 reviews list, too). But there is one list that uses exp (for some strange reason) instead of signup date: the stickers list. O_o
If that change DOES happen but I'm able to continue this list, my list will finally be the same as SK's. Then again, that might happen at the same time that there's an official top 1000+ or whatever VP list, so we'll see!
heh, if Lijim implements a vp list then this list is history :( (well, the previous updates are already history but you know what I mean)
Well yeah, that's why I said "then again." #;-}>
*Ready to respond to another very long post in a few days* :P
Here ya go! Heh.

Awesome stat topic gfox. I apriciate that you take the time to keep the commited slice of the newgrounds community constantly aware of who is on top of their game. Molto bene.
Thanks for teh respect and appreciation. But um... for future reference, we call useful and informative non-showoffspammy topics such as this one a stat LIST topic, not just a "stat topic," which has a negative reputation as a term for topics on NG BBS. #;-}>

Bleh, I thought reaching a 10.00 VP, a level and a rank up in the same week would be impressive, but that's nothing if we look at X-Naut's achievements :P
Congrats dude, and I'd like to thank you and gfox (as well as my dear wayne) for the congrats too ;)
Yeah, maybe your timing wasn't the greatest, but it's STILL good to see you over 10 VP, man. You're welcome, man.

I didn't think I was this high on the list. I wonder what my voting power would be if I reached the rank of sergeant.
You are teh man with teh high exp. It shouldn't surprise you that much. If you hit EG Sergeant? Oh, I dunno... maybe 8.75 or so? Just a guess. Let me confirm that... quick division by 1.18 IIRC... quick multiplication by 1.20 instead for Sergeant's bonus...
Nope, 8.77, actually (+0.15 VP). That's quite a rankup boost. Due to your exp, again. #;-}>

it would make you 8.77 at 153.) which would be tied with j00bie ^_^
