Gfoxcook, I can't let at 10v/p go w/o a 'bravo' from myself, even though you've received plenty already.

Well, there's always the possibility of getting too much of a good thing, but I think I've only gotten around half a dozen congrats, so don't worry about it. Thanks. #;-}>

It's not THAT exclusive a club, me being the 32nd member pales in comparison to me being the 6th ever EG General, IMO (much more exclusive!), but it's still fun to get past the 10 VP mark.

10.01 for now, but once HT deposits, it'll be back to 10 even for one more day. Which is just fine by me, I love that my rankup made me hit the amount just PERFECTLY.

Kool GFoX - already checked it out and left a post - BTW have you noticed it a full fledge battle of the ranks and positions: This is something to keep a close watch for............I'm tryin to get that 11 spot closing in - (if i did not reduce voting due to work and etc. but i am going to make up for it) 11th here i come (Hopefully.....)

Also, agreed on the 6th general!

Well, I was EXPECTING to be like 9.95-9.99ish. I didn't want to spoil the actual surprise by calculating my total VP after the rankup by multiplying my base of 6.45 times 1.55 instead of by 1.48, but...

I figured that I usually get 0.12 added to my VP every 2% bonus rankup (i.e. all of them up to the last two, which are 7% and 5%), and that I'd thus get at least 0.36 for this one, and probably closer to 0.40-0.42, which would have bumped me from 9.55 to 9.95-9.97, but I never anticipated that 7% was going to amount to a full 0.45 bonus to bump me RIGHT to 10.00 exactly.

If I'd ranked up a few days earlier, it would have been 9.99, and if I'd ranked up a couple days later, it would have been 10.01.

Somehow, I timed it just right, by accident, and got 10.00 on the nose.

excellent job there, Dobio. You weren't kidding when you said you were really moving in b/p lately.

Like I just detailed at the top of this post... neither did I! #;-}>

I figured I'd have to exp deposit to get up to it, and it'd probably take until early February. So, you can imagine, it was a pleasant surprise to find out I could get it yesterday along with the 2nd highest rankup you can get. Sweet.

Anyway, thanks for the grats, all.

I think I've basked in the glow of my rankup for long enough now. #;-}>

I saw your post, man. 'sno problem.

Damn straight I've noticed. I just commented on it over in the blam list. Or was it save list... er... whichever one you lost 1 spot in to chaotic1.

You, alex, and chaotic are having a similar race to the one that I had with them back in the Sergeant ranks (First Class or Master, I believe, down in the 5000-7000 range).

Of course, the difference is that you guys have 3 times the points now, basically, so the race has a lot higher stakes.

I envy your close race, man. The ability to rise or fall to the challenges... the jousting for a spot on the list... the ups and downs... they're all in the distant past for this account, pretty much. Well, in b/p, at least.

I still have my exp and VP battles to take part in... not to mention post battles. #;-}>

Congrats in advance on your rankup, but I must inform you that it's going to be to police sergeant, not lieutenant.

safety patrol -> security guard -> police officer -> police sergeant -> police lieutenant -> police captain -> eg private -> eg private first class -> eg corporal -> eg sergeant -> eg staff sergeant -> eg sergeant first class -> eg master sergeant -> eg sergeant major -> eg praporshchik -> eg second lieutenant -> eg first lieutenant -> eg captain -> eg major -> eg lieutenant colonel -> eg colonel -> eg brigadier general -> eg major general -> eg lieutenant general -> eg general -> eg supreme commander.

it's a fun path, man. I know it by heart, and I've been (almost) all over it. Have fun in the police ranks, it only gets steeper and tougher from there!

Thanks. Yeah, it only took me 14 days this time, instead of almost a year, that one time...:-P

LOL!

Sounds kinda similar to how it took me 3 years to move from level 9 to level 10, an then only 2 months to go from 10 to 11. #;-}>

Ummmm yea it was in the Blams list.........i think............

Wow say word, let me find out I am the next chosen one........the next GForceX - hey that has a nice ring to it if i say so myself...............Hopefully i can keep up and stay with the challenge........

Yea and 3 times the rank status...........i really would like to secure that next spot of safety and etc.........and to let you know i am not really a gambling type, but i am betting all aces on me *hopefully* **glances at what he is betting on: one arm, one leg and one ear lobe**

The path the final destination - gotta love it!

Elite Guard Sergeant First Class:

BLAMS: Involved in the termination of 3,444 crappy entries.
SAVES: Assisted in the protection of 1,557 quality entries.

We'll never know what the precise 5000 figure was, like anyone cares.

Now hopefully Point-a-rama 2 (or Wade's whistled stuff wiping, for the alliterative among us) will make a sizeable impression into the trek up to 6,000...

i will have 9000 blam/saves by the end of the day, but the gap between my blams and saves is dwindelng. :-\

I just mean that I miss those days, in some ways, and if I could KEEP all the points I have now, but ALSO have some major competition with other users, I'd be happy.

That doesn't mean I'm going to stop b/ping for 5 months so a bunch of people can catch up to me, though, that's a bit extreme. #;-}>

If nothing else, I suppose I COULD start b/ping with my alt once I get to EGSC, to relive the fun days of competition again.

Sure, reviewing's always fun. I never seem to make more than 2 or 3 a day on average, though. Once I made 10-12 in one day, though.

You're doing fine on posts and voting power, man. Just go check out your ranks on Dobio's list and the VP list, after all. They were both updated within the past week.

And, if you want to know, when I miss the precise b and p count for a profile screenshot or other "snapshot" time, I either guess or fudge. In your case, it's not too hard, since it's gotta be either 3,443 and 1,557 or 3,444 and 1,556. I'd go with the latter, personally, due to my affinity for even numbers. #;-}>

I always enjoy it when I can get as close as possible to xxx00 + xxx00 = xxx00 endings on my blams and saves, but failing that, I usually like xxx36 + xxx64 = xxx00 endings.

Now hopefully Point-a-rama 2 (or Wade's whistled stuff wiping, for the alliterative among us) will make a sizeable impression into the trek up to 6,000...

we'll see about that... I look forward to getting a few points, but I wish I'd been a bit more liberal with the whistling in the past few months, knowing now that Wade was just going to dump the whole whistled list anyway, without reviewing them on a case-by-case basis! #;-}>
