I was checking through the lifetime list and noticed that ramagi's prediction is proving painfully correct. Any chance of making some split lists? Something on the order of "at least 1 year," "at least 3 years," or some such along those lines. I started 2 years ago and the current BP system was fairly recently in place. It would be nice to see the stamina of ramagi's 3½ years a bit higher than 29th.
Yes, but ramagi wasn't able to get b/ps the way we can NOW get b/ps for all 3.5 years. Just for the past 2 years or so.

So yeah, 29th kinda bites considering she's #2... and that when the current system began, she was #1 in pure final-vote blams... before the first save on NG was gained.
But how about MY line, eh?

My 1716+-day-old account is a huge liability on this list. But it's no fault of my lack of NG acitivity back in the day... like my low exp numbers and low VP numbers are... I started getting b/p only 2 months after the current system was enacted, so I actually didn't miss out on very much b/p-time, like I did with exp and overall VP.
As I recently mentioned to SK in an e-mail, I think the averages should be done since account date IF THE ACCOUNT WAS CREATED AFTER THE B/P SYSTEM WE NOW HAVE BEGAN... and be done since the system was set into place if the account was created beforehand (like my account, Recon's account, ramagi's account, Nemesis' account, Joe's account, etc. etc. etc.).
That would be the fairest way, but it also requires extra coding. :::shrugs:::

Well take this into consideration I didn't get my first Blam point till almost a year after I signed up(10months). I can get date specific if need be. Then I when this lovely system started two years ago a lot of ppl had only a few blams.
Yeah, but compared to how easy points are to get now, as you've often reminded people, people hardly had any blams at all back in those days. Weren't there like 2 people over 1000 blams?
The current, modern blam + save system should be the measuring stick. Not the old one-blam-per-entry system. Thus, October whatever-th 2002.
If you did from the start of this system then it would favor the ppl with the most b/p.
Well, and not just that. It would favour the people with the most b/p PER ACTUAL DAY THE SYSTEM EXISTED. That's the key part.
Anyone who signed up prior to October 2002 is being massively penalised on the BP Lifetime List due to their account existing for however long when blams were hard to get and saves didn't even exist yet. Those were days when you simply COULDN'T get the amounts of b/p you can get these days.
If you look at the list you will notice only 3 people with over 1000 days lifetime were in the top 50. All three being the last rank which makes sense.
Yeah, and I don't even make the top 50. seventy-fucking-nine. Seventy-fucking-nine. ;_;
Still, it's an interesting list, even if SK doesn't find a fairer way to make it from when the system started... instead of when the profile system started. 1999 /= 2002.
