Thanks for the update!

Climbed another 12 ranks... wait, no I didn't. Everyone else did, I just wanted to be popular. But cool, I feared that I missed a deposit. And that would have made gfoxcook way too happy and we can't have that.

Thanks for the update, Bahamut. Looks like another decent gain on the last month - 5 places, which I didn't think I'd even gotten until this morning.

You should start to make up the ground on me - 10 ranks for you this month, with about 4 or 5 for me, which is still quite a pace for now. You'll be well inside the top 300 by the time I crack the top 200 some time in February :P

Ah, thanks.

I never mentioned anything about the top 50 for experience, which I'm slowly closing in on...

Oh dear....

I know and you know that you laughed at that. I think Bahamut feels like he's won something by getting me to focus on the top 200, which I'm now 24 places away from.

I see.

Speaking of which, while talking with him on Steam the other day, I mentioned that it would be nifty if gfox could enter the top 200 on the same day that gfoxclock enters the top 100 and gfoxcook enters the top 50.

No way it'll happen, but the day that each of those three happens is at hand. 50/100/200... nifteh synchronicity.

Speaking of which... (see end of post)

See, after all that Ike threw at you, you still ended up walking away from it without losing your home, your loved ones and your deposits.

Not quite in order of importance, but yes. #;-}>

(and before any wiseasseries say or think I meant deposters is #1, I meant loved ones comes before home, dagnabit!)

DRAGGIN'Y BASTICH!

LOL! No, I have no idea what it was supposed to be. When I say bastich, I always have in mind a vague Scottishness to it, but looking at the above insanity I all-capped at you, I think any drunken bastard from any nation on Earth would work. #;-}>

COOP/BAHAMUT HUMAN/DRAGONFIGHT TIEMS.

Yes, but if it's sexy to anyone, they'll call it a catfight. So let's cover all the bases.

Fuck catfights, human/dragonfights sounds more epic.

But not as SEXY. You're missing the important part here.

I tried that, but things really fucked up with the EXP list, so I do a separate pull for them.

Ah.

You crazy bastards with your complaining about being outside the top 200. At least you can actually pass 5-6 users in a week or two's time.

Uhh, what about when I was #335 or something for THREE WEEKS?!?!

Sucks for you, I guess. O_o

I mean, being stuck that rank for three weeks isn't good. Of course, you rank up even less often now, but it's more reasonable for you. When I enter the top 200, I'll then start accepting myself being stuck at certain ranks for at least 2 weeks.

But at least you're moving again upwards, right?

...

OKAY, end of replies.

Thanks for 2-3 updates since I last posted. I did indeed miss a few, but I don't see much point in looking over old exp updates like I do with pentalist updates, say, should I miss any along the way.

So let's take a look at this here current update alone. I was #58 back before our presidential election, which wasn't so long ago... #58, and feeling very very far away from the top 50 holy land indeed, but... what's this?

50 22,905 46 000 -2 altr
51 22,880 46 250 0 100816
52 22,780 46 250 0 iWalker
53 22,698 46 280 +1 Uniqueusername
54 22,680 46 240 -1 Crownjo
55 22,660 46 250 +1 LemonClock-X
56 22,630 46 270 +1 gfoxcook

Okay... first thought: up from 58 to 56, woot. That's a lot closer, but that aside, I'm not likely to move up much more anytime soon, right? I mean, +2 in 2 months where I'm at is way more than you can even hope for, this is amazing already. And hell, I missed a deposit again.

BUT THEN... a quick check of the very very very few profiles between me and top 50 land... shows...

altr.........: 22905 +000 exp (again) ... down to #52 rank
# dude..: 23010 +130 exp... up to #50 (grats!)
nimmer: 22930 +150 exp... up to #51
uniquey: 22858 +160 exp... holding at #53 despite his big gain
crowny.: 22800 +120 exp... holding on at #54
lemon...: 22790 +130 exp... down (thanks to my tiebreaker) to #56
me.........: 22790 +160 exp... holy shit, I CAN'T DRIVE.... #55!

So not only have I passed (well, pending him not depositing today, but he's missed 3 in the past couple weeks, so seems possible, at the very least) yet another person, there are 2-3 more ahead not depositing very well right now, and then altr who's not depositing at all.

I just may get to the top 50 much faster than I expected. I was hoping for by 2010, but at this rate, there may be more of 2009 left than elapsed when I hit it. O_o

Hooray!

I'll be on here next time...

Can't wait, you do a great job with this.

Well, I made my goal of top 200 by new years. Next step is top 150, which I may yet arrive at pending the results of 2009's rat race. Having just looked, it looks like I've got a solid four or five users to pass in the next month, but if I can catch and surpass at least three a month for the next year I should be at or around goal come the big '10.

I was excited to see the big goose-egg next to BVBG's name this update, but it looks like he's been depositing since so my hopes of surpassing him are somewhat dashed for the time being.

Just FYI. When I checking the list out and I noticed that Firehound was on it twice. No biggie, really.

He is #1305 and #1306.

Thanks for all the updates Bahamut!

im just stopping by to say that gfox is the man

/edn

passed bedn lewls. he joined this site almost two years before me and now he's eating my dust. guess jail time really catches up with you...

I was able to grind out another 25+ spots this month. By skimming the list, looks like that will be the trend for a longtime.

EXP update #9 is now available!

There's likely to be a lot of users missing, more especially between the 8k - 9k range, so forgive me if your EXP rank doesn't look accurate on the list.

If any users in front or behind you have gained 260 EXP or less, they've definitely missed a deposit since the last update.

Enjoy the update everyone!

Entered the top 400 Experience in the last period, which is great. Now there´s a bunch of guys above me who do not deposit that often, so I should easily gain a few more ranks over the next couple of days.

So sluggish from my part, I hadn't missed a deposit since the day they took the site down for the redesign. :/

it gets easier each time it happens. maybe you should let a few slip by so it doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore. ; P

Thanks for the update, Bahamut!

Looks like I'm going to be climbing up a few ranks within the month. So much so that I might even be able to enter the top 200 and start harping on about the quest for the top 150 :) That and my ongoing goal for the top 50!

I jumped up 31 spots and I hope to have a similar move every month for quite some time :). I would be very happy to gain one spot per day!

Takes away from the achievement somewhat, as I have little respect for the individual in question.

Enjoy staring at my hairy arse, Coop. You're going to be behind me for A LONG TIME. :P

I'm still waiting for Bezman's game / thread / website of the who's arse competition.

I guess I fail to see how having someone else deposit for you for a period of multiple years is a personal achievement. To each his own I guess.

I'm sitting on the fence with regards to this one - I know that I've had people deposit for me in the past and I still seek congratulations for the milestones. Maybe one day I will catch these people ahead of me.

And by a few you mean about a years worth. C'mon people, what harm would taking a long break off NG do? You can fulfill your dreams in life and just think, all that's holding you down is having to be near a computer everyday to deposit experience points. Really now, what is the harm ;)

Yes, I'm going up the ranks nicely right now. Infact, I shall be passing KWAS tomorrow and hopefully the depositers with equal amount of EXP as me will miss another deposit or two. ;)

How ridiculous is it that you take this so seriously. These stats are completely worthless (sorry to offend, but it's true) and I genuinely could not care less if you think I should be congratulated or not. Sure it's a bit of fun, but when it comes to making stupid personal jabs, it's clearly taking over your life.

Worth is in the eye of the beholder. To many, life is worthless. ... so? Anyway, I don't believe anyone on NG being a statwhore thinks you can cash in the stats later for cash, man. You're not going to offend anyone by pointing out the obvious about what the stats "mean" IRL.

Never. And I mean NEVER, would I consider this a "personal achievement", that includes whether I deposited for myself or not. Rest assured, "Top 200 EXP on some Internet website" will not be going on my CV.

Then what exactly does: "*Blows own trumpet* Top 200 EXP, baby!" mean?

You don't see it as an achievement, but you wanted to push it in Coop's face that your account-that-isn't-really-your-account-a nymore is "ahead" of his in a stat you don't care about? ... fascinating.

You might have heard of him. He's a little Hentai fan, called Afro_Stud. In my opinion, someone who can dedicate themselves to the Portal like that and can't even be arsed to check the forums is a prick. Just doesn't have the priorities right, that's all I'm saying.
