So I noticed a couple hours after your post, as you booted him off the list. Congrats on being a top 50er!

And congrats to Mr James and Afterburner on the level ups, and anyone else who got anything they personally want to celebrate. #;-}>

and oh, BTW, Dogma: you had reacted with surprise to my estimate of a week until skum gets knocked off the list, but if Syme and Mystboy pass him, as they undoubtedly will, it will only take Nostrant (who has gotten a FEW points recently) and one new list entrant, or two new list entrants if he doesn't pick up the pace, to boot skum off. And that could happen a lot sooner than 2-3 weeks.

Try telling that to a Major in the US Army. I'm sure it's not quite the same for him. #;-}>

Well, unless you mean Brigadier General, perhaps...

Anyway, congratulations, sir! I shall soon be joining you, as the 10th Major (you being the 9th, of course) in the Elite Guard.

Just gotta step over DrMSM's lifeless form later today... that taken care of, it won't take much more effort on my part.

And I think we both know who'll be the 9th Lieutenant Colonel if you keep going at 40-50 a day. :::winks::: #;-}>

What's wrong with the twin gold bars, anyway? Yes, the swirl/star thing is nice, but... eh, nothing's THAT great until the wreath and General's star(s), anyway.

It's called a "cluster" ;) Then you get "bird" and "full bird." Me, I like the idea of NG giving me the bird =P

I'm just going on the stats I've recorded up to now. It would seem to me that if nostrant was going to pick up his pace, he would have done so by now, which means waiting for 2 people to come up. When I ran the numbers, even stretching it for nostrant to get to skum before pent, pent was passing him within a few hours (which made his involvement moot). Pent and import are both moving a little faster so far this week than the numbers I used for that calculation, but it's still looking to me like at least 2 weeks.

I know gfox, I know. I've watched you slowly catch up to me over the months, cutting down that 1,500 point lead I had. Like I said in an earlier post, I just wanted to pass DrMSM for the 9th spot so I don't kicked out of the top 10 again when you do your thing. After that, I think I can hold onto the 10th spot for a time, or maybe even gain a rank. We'll see.

Grats again. Judging by your past performance, staying in the top 50 won't be an issue. I just puylled a few numbers and it looks like you're about to pass both Myst and nostrant in the very near future.

On a side note, I was going through my library and I've got a question for you. Yes, I have a library in my den. I've actually gotten rid of over 1k book in the past 2 years ... then promptly spent the money on more books. I think I've gotten myself stabilized around 400 lol Back to the question. Where is your name from? I've got an answer, but I don't know that it's the right one.

I think you go up but then if humantarget deposists you go down a bit in exp which would cause the level to fall too

thanks much :) now all i need is a few more to get TWO ranks and be a little safer on the list. it's funny. EVERYONE wants to know who the new top 50 is. my popularity dropped from 1500 to 600 lol

what's your guess? then i'll tell you if you're right :)

that's a LOT of books. i'd ask how many of them you actually read but i know you'll say all of them lol

Yes, all of them, at least in part. The reference books (dictionary, thesaurus, and the like) I haven't read per se but they get fairly consistent use. Granted, I now only use the Black Books for when I'm trying to do some goofy shit I haven't before, but they used to get pretty extensive use.

Anyway, I'm not sure how much you want to string out this guessing game about your name, so I'll be vague and follow your lead on it after you respond. Does it have something to do with Truth?

Ah yes, cluster, that was the word.

Um... before you get the bird, don't you get your silver cluster changed to a gold one? And I thought there was only one bird (on NG, I mean).

major - silver cluster
lt. colonel - gold cluster
colonel - gold bird

Which puts it right between my estimated 1 week and your estimated 3-4 weeks, so we were both about right. #;-}>

Still, I'm banking on much closer to August 15th (my predicted date) than on Labor Day-ish (yours). Whether Nostrant gets moving or not is immaterial. He, and skum, will be passed by many people... quite soon. I'm counting on it. :::nods:::

Btw ... D0GMA you seem even more insane now that I know about all these books. I read a lot ... but in YOUR case it's definitely insane (like everything you do =P )

mwahahahahaaaa.ashdfasa.

Yah. You be safe in the 10 spot once I get ya. And we'll both pass Stormwarden, given enough time (say by October at the latest).

Ahhh, teh passings are few and far between. I'm less than 10 points away from DrMSM, and after that, aside from our jockeying for position, we're both gonna be bored for several weeks. The only possible danger to us is if Bila suddens turns on overdrive (unlikely), DrMSM gets pissed off because we both passed him (dunno), or simply_forgotten actually does what he seems to be capable of doing: bustin' the top 10 wide open.

Let's just hope that he only does that once we've both passed Stormwarden, and thus we escape being his newest casualities. The blighter! #;-}>

In any event, the bordem will reign for the most part, except that we'll be shooting for the elite elite elite lt. colonel rank, I suppose. That, to me, is where the boymen become the menmen.

Byyyyyyyyy Mennen!

yar! Now why don't you get moving and pass Nostrant for the 49 spot, cause it's really not the wisest idea to sit there at 50, just begging for someone to come and knock ya off, yaknow? #;-}>

Well, you were telling spancker, actually, since he was complaining about where you were (when you'd only been gone for 9 hours, but ANYwho #;-}>).

But yeah, I saw your explanation.

I just found it funny that you stopped 7 points short of Nostrant, that's all. Good job on getting out of the danger zone there. Now knock skum out of the list, the beeeotch! #;-}>

You will be.... you WILL be...

but anyway, I think lightning was thinking of when you and Mike277 (poor little guy (sniff)) were up near the top of the 40s (well, bottom of them, but you know what I mean), and you were looking like a pretty good force to be reckoned with. Didn't turn out that way for Mike, but there's still hope for you. KEEP ON ROCKIN', MAN. ROCK RIGHT ON UP DA LIST! yea-eah.

Anywho, I might read a bit more here and there on general or somewhere, but I'm taking a break from the BBS for the rest of the afternoon and evening. 2436 is a great number to stop at for my profile screenshot (7100 blams, 6666 saves).

Soooo... have a good tiny remainder of the weekend, everyone. Cept for Recon, his weekend is just starting now. Lucky bagger! #;-}>

I'm lv10, but I consider myself more of a Double-A leaguer at rank 3400 or so in experience.

Now, at rank 97 B/P, I'm definetly at least a bench player on a major league B/P squad. ~_^
