I missed being honored for Level 46 by 3 days.

Well 40 days to pass P.O.A. I am not sure about altr if he will stop or deposit a few times. It will take a long time to pass him. RR is back so he might be depositing everyday.

Thanks for the update, Bahamut. The last time that I'll be ranked behind gfox, as I should pass him by Thursday.

Along with him, I'm expecting to make another 4-5 passes over the month, pulling me ever closer to the top 150. Of course, the next two months will both have big achievements, with the aformentioned gfox pass and possibly the progression to 20,000 Experience :)

Thanks again, man.

Huge movement this month and the high 20 jumps just keep flowing. This month looks a bit more difficult because there are fewer inactives coming up.

Ha, wow I've never seen this list before. I rose 49 spots, cool.

+97 Ranks is quite good in my opinion. I might have missed a deposit or two in there, but when you're busy you're busy. Doesn't help when the person that you ask to deposit for you doesn't deposit for you and randomly disappears from the site. Oh well, doesn't matter that much to me really. Here's to getting a couple more ranks by next update.

Thanks for the past two updates, Baha-man.

It's all in the timing.

Sure, but it's just as annoying to rank up 3 ranks one day and "lose" 2 ranks the next day. If only people close to me in Exp could miss some more deposits...
But I guess they will fall sooner or later. I remember trailing right behind Heinrich and Atalaya for quite a long time (both had a long streak of not missing any deposit), but now they are both way behind me. :)

Yes. They will fall. It is all just a matter... of ze times.

Also, wow, Pimp missed approx. 8 deposits. Awesome.

Indeed. Even if the worst case level 60 system scenario is true, Pimp's missed deposits buy us a LITTLE more time before the scaling returns.
Sadly, even if he were to fully retire, bomb is ready to take up the crown in just a month, clearly.

Then the user who was #1 in Exp when I first signed up (or when I first checked the rankings) will be back in the top spot again... at least if I recall correctly. Bomb WAS #1 in Exp once right?

Yes, Bomb was #1 once. Long before my time (well I was using NG occasionally, but not really paying attention to stats, I mean. That began in January 2003 for me, despite my 2000 signup date and use of NG even before I signed up).

The only way you could made sure (or at least closer to being sure) woulda been to check all such cases at 11:59PM NG time the final day you did data pulls for that year-long list.

No you will not pass me ... I creeping into the Top 80. I have years to go to get in the Top 50 or more.

Damn. He's got you there, Coop.

He may have a chance at passing in b/p but never in experience, and he knows it.

He may know it, but he will act/talk as though you are going down. Don't let him get in your head or it's OVER, man! (in the words of Hudson from Aliens... GAME OVER, MAN, GAME OVER!)

Just make sure you never get bored of NG, iscrulz, or Coop's gonna ream ya.

If I do I will just remember that Cooper is trying to pass me then come back.

That sounds like a pretty good motivational tool to use on yourself, dude. Good luck.

Yep. Like when I retired from b/p... I was #2... or had I already been passed and knocked to #3 by then? Can't remember.

MPA?

MPA passing me to make it ramagi/MPA/gfox top 3 sounds about right, but I really can't remember the timing of it all was my point.

I DO remember that Toocool passed me in saves before I retired my saves at 24,000, so that it was Toocool/gfox/ramagi for awhile, and in fact by the time I retired (if not shortly afterwards), it was then Toocool/ramagi/gfox in saves.

But as is no surprise to anyone, I was always paying more attention to what was going on with my saverank than my b/prank overall.

Funnily enough, since saves became so damned commonplace not too long after I semi-retired in 2005, I no longer care as much. Even with adding 12,000 saves over 3-4 years now to get to my final retirement, I'm never going to recover in saverank, and my b/p rank makes my save rank look like what my BLAM rank used to look like way back when blams were in vogue, so...

wild stuff.

Bravehost recently cut the filesize limit down to 5MB which well exceeded how much I used, so I had no choice but to move elsewhere. From now on, they'll be hosted on Webs.com. Apologies for the inconvenience. Archived updates will be uploaded at a later point.

If any users in front or behind you have gained 330 EXP or less, they've definitely missed a deposit since the last update.

I'm currently ranked #412, so the top 400 comes pretty close now. Narusegawa doesn't show a sign of slacking, so I'm still tied in exp/10 exp behind her.

Sucks, but it´s not such a big deal. At least, for us.

Anyway, I gained another six ranks an moved up to the 335th spot. Ahead of me I see lots of 0's so I expect to move up even more next time. Also the top 300 is not so far away anymore. I should be there well before the end of the year.

Should be able to get between 2 and 4 ranks by the next update - the pace looks good, as usual, but there appears to be a traffic jam of users with pretty much the same pace as me. Some are slower, so I shall take pleasure in reeling them in.

Top 150 will have to wait, but I'm still moving up there :) 1 more update, before I hit 20k Experience as well :)

Oh thats sad to hear, i looked at the site and it was only 12$ a month to move up to the basic plan and 12$ every month. Not to bad, so i don't really see why you just had to move. At one point i was paying near 20$ a month for my old site. I also used freewebs at one point as well and did not think they were giving much more for free. Maby they changed.

Yes, I noticed. I looked and i missed four fucken deposits this month, that gave sir-nuts the lead and now he is very far ahead of me. I don't recall missing any this month....i just hope he just forgets to deposit for a few days so i can catch up on him.

There are a lot of people that are depositing each day or that are inactive on the site ahead of me. I'll be quickly moving up the rankings at this pace. I'm quite a ways away from 1,000, but I'll be there sooner or later if I can manage to find the time to deposit (I'm sure I will).

I'm sick of this level anyway so I'll be sure to deposit every day that I can. :P

Can anyone here explain the discrepancy between Newgrounds stats and Bahamuts Exp List??

NG Stats say I have:
Exp. Points: 16,215 / 16,890 <<<<was 16,205 at the time, but would have made no difference.
Exp. Rank #: 359

Bahamuts Exp List says:
Gamejunkie 16,205 <<<<now 16,215 Rank #357

These are Bigbadron's stats:
Exp. Points: 16,195 / 16,890 no change to these figures
Exp. Rank #: 358
So I'm 20 more Exp points than him but he's ranked higher, according to NG stats.

And Uncle-Dave has these stats:
Exp. Points: 16,200 / 16,890 <<<<no change to these figures
Exp. Rank #: 357
So I'm 15 more Exp points than him but he's ranked higher, according to NG stats.

I'm confused can anybody explain. Please.

This is because the NG Stats only update once a day. So, if you are 10 Exp behind BBR, you are ranked lower. Then, you deposit, he doesn't, now you are tied with him in Exp, so you don't pass him yet. Then you deposit again, he doesn't. You have 10 Exp more, but the ranks haven't been updated yet. So you have more exp, but you are still ranked lower.

So, Bahamut's list is by the time he does an update actually more accurate than NG itself. :P
Also it of course depends on when exactly Bahamut pulls the stats from the profiles and how much time passes until the list is actually done and uploaded.
