Damn straight! You gotta keep it suspenseful. Creep up right behind the guy you wanna pass, let him see you standing there... let him feel the fear... then slam him down and jump past him!
Like I'm doing with Nemesis right now, you see. I'm around 20 points behind him, maybe less... he knows I'm coming. Oh yeah, he knows it. No need for stealth here. #;-}>
Anyway, you, Dogma, and alex... could really shape up to be somethin' if Dogma woke up.
Like the olden days of Recon, Drimarki, and spancker competin'... only Recon's still goin' of those three. (sniff)
But back in the day... leaping over two people at once... yeah, that was fun. Or even getting passed by chaotic and alex, waking up and finding out it had happened, thinking "grrrrr... damnit!" and passing them right back. Thems were the times. Enjoy it while it lasts, man! Once you get to the top 10, the air up here is so thin, it's weeks and weeks and weeks before you're even NEAR another molecule. #;-}>Wow is it serious like that up there - i be seein the numbers and i be like ok whats good and all that but i had no idea it stale and quiet like a hyberbolic time chamber or something........
Well, I dunno if I think of it as serious, but... well, here, let me put it into perspective for you.
How many days I was at each b/p rank (that is, had the number as my b/p rank IN MY PROFILE, not on the top 50 list), from #50:
#50 - 1 day
#49 - N/A
#48 - N/A
#47 - 2 days
#46 - 1 day
#45 - 4 days
#44 - 1 day
#43 - N/A
#42 - 4 days (hit EG Sergeant First Class here)
#41 - 1 day
#40 - 1 day
#39 - 1 day
#38 - 4 days
#37 - 4 days (hit EG Master Sergeant here)
#36 - 1 day
#35 - N/A
#34 - 1 day
#33 - 1 day
#32 - 2 days
#31 - N/A
#30 - N/A
#29 - 5 days
#28 - N/A
#27 - 8 days (hit EG Sergeant Major here)
#26 - 1 day
#25 - N/A
#24 - 2 days
#23 - 4 days
#22 - 1 day
#21 - 3 days
#20 - 6 days (hit EG Praporshchik here)
#19 - 2 days
#18 - N/A
#17 - 14 days
#16 - 3 days (hit EG Second Lieutenant here)
#15 - 10 days
#14 - 17 days (hit EG First Lieutenant here)
#13 - 20 days (hit EG Captain here)
#12 - 5 days
#11 - 9 days
#10 - 6 days (hit EG Major here)
#09 - 29 days (hit EG Lieutenant Colonel here)
#08 - 26 days (hit EG Colonel here)
and that number for rank #8 is accurate, as I'll definitely pass Nemesis today, barring him turning into fixit. If I had to guess, I'm going to be at #7 for at least 90-100 days.
i.e. over 3 times as long as I've been at ANY OTHER RANK. And that's kinda insane, yes. As you'll notice from up there, the last time I had a "N/A" (not applicable = didn't have that rank in my profile ever... may have had it on the top 50 list, but that doesn't count for this list) was when I skipped #18 by flying straight from 19 to 17.
Since then, it's been slow going aside from a few places where people were clustered, as you can see by any of the numbers after #18, where the amount of days is less than 10.
Also, note how I rank up at every single rank now. Hit a rank while I was #10, hit a rank while I was #9, hit a rank while I was #8. Probably gonna hit 2 or 3 ranks while I'm #7, we'll see....
when ranking up becomes more common than passing someone on the list, yes... you know you're in the upper reaches of the atmosphere at that point. #;-}>
but it's not all bad. As you pointed out, you do have the super nifty high blams and saves and overall counts. It's just that it's a major marathon up here, instead of little sprints like it is further down, that's all. And yeah, it's kinda like being on a starship voyage to some distant star at a fairly slow speed, and being in the deep freeze till you get to your destination. You only get woken up by the ship's computers when you get within 100 blams/saves of another object, and that happens... fairly rarely. #;-}>
