Perhaps proud that he's still at #13 on the top 50 saves, despite his neglect of his points?

Just hit 6,000 saves earlier, I've been getting a lot more of those recently.

Not me... I think it's pretty normal out there now. Not too bad content, and not overrated either.

Congrats to:

thisisasignin on his promotion to Elite Guard Brigadier General (5th)
DrMSM on his promotion to Elite Guard Major (11th)
TheJoe324 on his promotion to Elite Guard Lieutenant General (4th)
Crono- on his promotion to Elite Guard Colonel (7th)
stafffighter on his promotion to Elite Guard Praporshchik (32nd)
ImportRacer666 on his promotion to Elite Guard Master Sergeant (~54th) &
HernetheHunter on his promotion to Elite Guard Sergeant First Class (~65th)

since the last update of the list.

Welcome to:

HernetheHunter, whose protectin' prowess has put him on the protectors list (okay, enough alliteration)

Farewell to:

format, aka floormat, aka threemat, aka _shadow_, aka angery, aka whatever else he changes his name to

DANGER ZONE:

format's fall puts the long-absent Drimarki in the hotseat, and methinks he'll fall out fairly soon. But perhaps not before the next update... we shall see. No major danger to anyone else, Herne and lightning are both upwardly mobile, and pushing up the req for the list for all the 51+s

Greg's Notes:

Not too shabby on the movement fronts, especially between 30 and 44:

TheJoe is rackin' up the protects, and he passed the idle poxpower for #9

Crono, a guy with a very similar save/blam ratio as TheJoe (37% to Joe's 34%), passed NemesisM66 for #14

a certain XkwiziT passed chaotic1 AND Heretik for #19

D0GMA is finally moving up the savior chart, jumping up from 33 to #30

also notable is stafffighter who lept up from 44 to #36

You may check out the most recent Top 50 Blammers List by clicking the link I just posted. Enjoy comparing the lists to each other and to the Top 50 Combined B/P List. People on both the Top 50 Blammers List and the Top 50 Protectors List are denoted with ***.

Hmmm... I may not be as active as I have been in the past (due to the new addition to my family), but I should imagine I can make 11 protection points before next week without too much trouble... muahaha etc etc.

Not even going to attempt to compete with yous, especially since I am definitely starting work on the 2nd Sept now.... just glad that I'll have a place on the Protector list. Gold Badge is getting close, too...

LOL I think the only rason for that was the 2-day stall I went into to grab just protects. I helped protect soooo much middling stuff that should have been sent back to be redone ~shrug~

You know, sometimes I should check the saves of the people only on the top 50 blams, and the blams of the people only on he top 50 saves.

I suppose I'd gotten used to their not being much interplay, aside from lightning being on the blams list, but falling off the saves during his vacation, and then making it back on, and the same thing happening to spancker, but the other way around (on the saves list, but falling off the blams, etc. etc. making it back on).

Anyway, okay, nevermind. Drimarki's toast. 11 points. More like 8 points now. Egad. #;-}>

Good job, Denvish. The first of the recent crop of top 50 combined stormers to make the crossover from blams-list-only to a ***-marked member of both lists!

Heh, yeah. I worked out a while ago that the earliest I could possibly get listed was at Captain, presuming the standard increases in the bottom line on NGling's list, factoring in the VP bonus for ranks, and XP base increases I'd gain in the process of getting to Captain. My current joke on it is, I'll make the list, then promptly get knocked off by some level 2X who makes it to Safety Patrol. I just don't have the base VP to really sustain a position, and I'm at about my limits on what rank increases are going to do for me.

With Commander rank, and your current exp, you would have a 8.76 vp.. not much for such a status..

I'd like the b/p save bonuses to be already decided, like with commander you got 6 votes more instead of 60%. That would even things out. And why is there a 16 vp limit? I really can't see why it couldn't be infinite.

Yeah, well, I kind of figuring I'm not going to *poof* get SC anytime soon lol

There isn't a 16.00 VP limit per se, it just works out that that's the max. The way it's arranged is that the level 30(s) base VP is 10.00 and everyone else's base scales down from that. The SC bonus is +60%, which is a huge jump from the General's bonus, makes it so that if the 30(s) is/are also SC(s) then they would get to 16.00.

Keep in mind that that's all accurate now. There has been mention of an increase in the number of ranks to greater than 30. That may or may not subsequently increase the maximum base VP.

If the boost is to, say 50 levels, the level 50 could still be 10 VP with the actual affect of the added levels simply meaning that we at the lower levels would be able to increase level faster.

If the level 50 has a new capped VP of say 25, level 30 won't necessarily be 10. Just as now, we're likely to see scaling, but there will be some rather large adjustments in people's base VP when it hits.

It's also entirely possible that the new system could be static, rather than scaling levels. It's doubtful, but hey ...

1-8 are likely to remain the same as they are now no matter what. It remains to be seen how exactly that is implemented. Just have to wait and see =)

ewwwwww if it's going to takeyou til captain it'lltake me at LEAST until colonel. oh well back to blamming

I knew the base 10 VP and every little bit of what you wrote. I guess I just expressed myself badly.
But with the SC status and lvl 30, you would still only have 16 vp, which makes it a current 16 vp max/limit. You can't get any higher. I think limit is a word usable instead of max. But hey, what do I know! =)

Seem to be a high % of protectable movies around at the moment... or maybe I'm just too slow to catch the blammables...

well if people would get a voting power of 100 or 1000 they would abuse there power and get very movie too a score of 5 or 0 and we don't want that do we =)

iys more blams than protect

No, we don't. But anyway, infinite may have been a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe 25 votes would be a better max. After all, if the other 49 people voting on a movie that could be blammed at 50 votes are all level 1 with no additional exp, and they all therefore count for 1 vote, and then Mr. 25 VP Supreme User comes along and also votes, even if he votes 0 with his 25 votes, that's not going to overcome 49 5 votes, and the movie will make it past the 50 vote judgement mark with a ~3.30 score.

Don't feel TOO bad about it. Your exp isn't THAT much lower than mine, I was level 11 3 months or so ago myself. And look at me, #79 (was #78 a week ago, grrr) on the top 160 VP list...

Even if it takes you more rankups than it took me to break the top 100 VP on NGlings list, as long as you don't stop depositing, and don't stop blamming and saving, you'll make it fairly easily. It'll just take time, that's all.
