I think D0GMA is updating the EGRL and I wanted to get into the top 300

W00T!!! Double celebration.

Just made Elite Guard General and my VP is now over 10, 10.36 to be precise. One of my major goals (10 VP) has now been reached.

The portal was really slow this morning, so I spotted you the 6 you were still short at stat pull ;)

Thanks for not making me a liar ^^

Thanks, i was a bit short on Gfox's VP list yesterday, otherwise i would've jumped about 10 ranks higher. You saved me from double disappointment.

Just click "Sighn in" then click on the "forgot your password?" link and there where it says forgot your user name too type in your e-mail that you used in that account and they will send you your usere name and password to that e-mail.

P.S. Last night I was at Medieval Times dinner and tournament it was really fun they had a big feast and there was jousting, sword fighting and stuff like that, it was really fun! I got back at 12am and was asleep until 11am and missed out on some b/p points oh well it was very fun. Has anyone ever been there? They have on of these places in like 10 states.

Thanks for voting, IM_KOOL_R_U!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of 5.88 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 46% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 8.59 votes

Yay extra boost of .12 vp.

which means now I am a Elite Guard Major General. So now on to 48% too bad I have to go back to school monday.

DOGMA 'gave' me 6 points, and in effect, said i ranked up when i hadn't quite yet. So i did make the list : )

OH i see, guess i read it wrong, SO she cheated the system for you ;P lucky bastard ^_^

Stat pull takes 3 hours and change. This means that the people at the bottom of the list get 3 hours to earn BPs that the people at the top of the list don't. After I've gone through the stat pull, I resort based upon the new ranks. I then go through and check all the people who are close to a rank-up to even things out.

Anyone who has a decent daily rate, has earned points since I did the first run through, and is under 5-10 to rank is probably going to make it before I get the list up. In those cases, I'll usually just "fudge" my recorded numbers to get the rank up done this time. I spotted leeboy (6) and Eliempee (4) this go round. There were a number of other people who are close, but none that met all three of those.

I've had the "worst case" happen before at least once ... I spotted someone a half dozen points for the rank-up and they promptly stalled short of gaining the rank. By the next update, they still had not made it. That's when I tacked on the mental note that they need to be earning points while I'm doing the pull ... they are more likely to make it and I won't have to deal with the EGRL showing a rank-up that isn't going to happen for a couple of updates.

LOL That's just the stat pull. I started at 5:05 and finished the last recheck at 8:20. After that the real work starts and then I post as soon as everything is ready.

The EGRL A list and comments were actually ready at 10:15. The rest of the time was spent twiddling with the EGRL B list and the Top 50s. I should be able to shave an hour off the whole process next time and get it back near something reasonable.

State of happy happy joy joy</stimpy> right now. Just shoed Sheffield's online course enquiry tool and got my timetable for next year - Tuesday to Thursday is a complete lecture-free zone! What a bloody great concept that is!

Of course, there's those seminar things to worry about, but I needn't concern myself with those. They're so easy to bluff through it's untrue.

Reminds me, never wear distinctive clothing in lectures, ever. Especially when lecturers are the sort of "ask the audience questions" type. Wearing Stockport's (rather noticable yellow) 2000/1 away shirt makes you stand out for a quick question. A reply of "break someone's leg" fouled that one off comfortably. In Jeopardy style, ten cool points to anyone who can give the question asked :-)

In a bit of a hurry, so i'll make this quick. Congrats leeboy, IKRU and everyone else. Nothing to report from this end.

Recon, don't worry, i've seen some of the early posts by mods and now-great posters, but I always remember that those were the days of the lawless BBS. My somewhat-spammy reputation doesn't bother me much anymore anyway. :)

There, that was fast. Bye! Gotta go watch me a movie.

Q: What do you do if Someone says "Please break my leg?"
A: Break Someone's leg.

10 more b/s points and goodbye police officer and hello Police Sergeant, YAY!

tis 9 now :o, also i do think you'll be surprised about your next next rank up, a word of advice ;p

What do you mean? Tell me please do you get something for that or is it the fact that I'm going to need 500 points to rank up?

Just got back from being out of town and it looks like Leeboy is the star of the day due to attaining his 4th general star and breaking the 10vp barrier. Excellent job there.
Baron: Start b/ping like it's your job, been waiting on your arrival for some time now due to our friendly races 'back in the day.'
IKRU: Sexy job hitting Major General and getting over halfway done with 8vp.

I don't believe I've announced this yet, but I have gotten myself out of the #20's and am sitting in at #19 b/p wise. This is the start of the long haul imo. #18 biteme has over 1,200 more than me.

Hey BonusStage(OmgIChangeMyName) do you think you could get me 7 b/s points tonight, just 7 please? I'll make it up to you when you need some points. I have to go, but I want to rank up, please?

I am finally ranked under 2000 for experience. It's not much, not much at all but it's getting somewhere. Oh well, just thought I would say, at least I found it mildly amusing.

Yeah, those were some fun times Pure and I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of it. There were a lot of cool personalities cruising the BBS back then. I didn't even make my first post until I reached level 10.

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

Such profound words of wisdom!
Being an avid procrastinator, I can concur that this proves to be true all too often!

I'll have to print your posting for my desk :)

Hmm... level up...umm.... I think i just passed HAQnSPITT!! haha!
