Thanks for the update, Major-punk. You stat pulled before my pace leapt, so next update should be a bumper harvest. I averaged 25.6 saves per day over this stretch, so I'm not too bad - I was a little dissapointed with only 4 ranks gained though, as I passed about a dozen people.

Yeah no problem, just give me like 10 minutes to add the second post next time. =P
I know it was an accident and you just forgot but still it looks kinda messy this way.

Yeah there was about 5 new joiners that all pushed you back a rank, but if you can gain nearly 1000 again I wouldn't be surprised if you jumped 15+ ranks by next update since everyone who was going faster is already ahead.
Glamdrung and Frank-The-Hedgehog might give you a little trouble down the road as they also had a high paces (600-900). Heres the next 5 I had anyway:

102. // 9990 // Pieriku
103. // 9978 // Glamdrung

A decent gain compared to everyone else, there was a period of 12 days when I could hardly b/p at all and if that didn't happen I could of probibly had 1,500+ saves.

Well, we'll see. I'm up to about 300 already this period, so it could be an interesting time.

If you need a hand, I could possibly help - send me a PM if you want and we can maybe talk it over... I've got some holiday over easter, so I may have a chance to help you get an update for the baying masses then

So close to make it on the 1500+ protection points list... :( But hey, I am now a top 50 savior and an EGSC! Big yea for the achievement, I will be more motivated to move up. ;)

has this list died out or have you just been busy? it's been a while since there's been an update. i'm just wondering what's going on.

I won't be updating it for at least another month. I have lost alot of interest with it. I wouldn't call it dead though.

Well, a quick head-count of the people above me says I'm up 16 places on the last update. Even with certain account holders making more progress than me off the back of Pico Day, I'll call that decent progress.

Knowing how long a list takes to update, I'm content to bide my time. I still look forward to the update whenever you're ready now :)

Before I catch-up on the actual list updates and other good posts in my ol' beloved saviours topic... I can't help but notice a trend since I last posted in here in mid-October 2006 (yes, it's been that long specifically for this topic... egads).

Just... observe:

You sound like that MP has to update the list. Remember, he does not have the duty to do it for us. As what I know, he is a busy person in his life, so it may take him a while to update the list. Just please wait patiently. What comes will eventually come, cool?

As I'm sure you're aware, Dream... and if you aren't, please look at the above quoted posts first... they are the ONLY contributions you made to this thread for the 3 months prior to your above post... stretching from mid-October to mid-January.

In any event, as I'm sure you're aware, the above statements by you are the most hypocritical things ever said in this topic. Maybe not on Wi/Ht? as a whole, but certainly in this specific topic.

You telling other people to relax and await an update is like a crack addict telling an alcoholic to stop abusing drugs.

Indeed it is. But have you actually learned it yet?

I think you misinterpreted DepthsofHell due to your own latent impatience/self-stat-absorption.

Well, I do have to give you credit at long last. From January until now, this is your only post, and it's a fairly good one compared to the other ones I highlighted above. Actually, highlighted isn't the right word. I didn't pick and choose posts to show, I showed every post, with minor snippage of unrelated stuff.

In any event, I hope and pray the above is an actual sign of a change you've made, maybe along with what you said to DepthsofHell in late January. Because while I noticed you were often impatient for my own list updates, it never bothered me all that much when you were whining about no update yet to me.

Yet somehow watching the same thing with regards to updates being made by others really gets to me. Maybe it's because I know how much time it takes to do these things... trust me, I really really feel that investment, it's weighty, like a freakin' pocket full of coins, only the coins are free time... and your pocket has a hole in it.

You take as long as you need to for the next update, MajorPunk. Keep on rockin' in the free world.

And I forgot perhaps the most important part of all! The one thing both types of posts from October to January had in common was...

Not once did he actually thank the list updater for making the list. That's... really poor form, man.

But anyway, moving on to more interesting things...

Thanks again Coop83! Yea i noticed that people have not appreciated the value of protection. Blams come too easy but now they arent what they use to be though. But i have to admit, back before there was some major garbage in the portal that did need to be gotten rid of but now its more nicer to chill and be civil.

DEVALUED?!?!? Say it ain't so.

then again.... had the portal never shifted, I wouldn't be ranked as low as I am now. By my profile checking in the top 25 from one of MajorPunk's recent updates, I'm down to at least #17 or #18 now, versus #13 on his last update.

HOWEVER... would I trade remaining at a higher ranking for the great amount of save riches being spread all around NGdom? Hell no.

I love that the save averages are up so high, that 10,000 saves belong to 100+ people now, etc. etc.

I'm afraid it's true, Greg. Protection points are a lot easier to come by. People tend to cram as many as they can in and their profiles reflect this, with more people having high Protect : Blam ratios.

Incidentally, in a few weeks time, I'll be the highest ranked user to have equal saves and blams. I'm about 550 saves away from having a neat total of somewhere around 13k Saves and 13k Blams.

HOWEVER... would I trade remaining at a higher ranking for the great amount of save riches being spread all around NGdom? Hell no.

Well, like I said... it's kinda a double-edged sword with some heavy pros and yet heavy cons as well.

I like that saves are in bloom... but a good save/blam ratio being too commonplace? Yeah, it does make it kinda lose its special status/allure to be one of the minority to not have a superhugeblamtosave ratio like in the old days, if that really isn't seen any longer. ;_;

Ah well. I should get to saving with gfoxclock, then.

Incidentally, in a few weeks time, I'll be the highest ranked user to have equal saves and blams. I'm about 550 saves away from having a neat total of somewhere around 13k Saves and 13k Blams.

So the 15k/15k thing might be more hard to hit now because your saves will want to pull up ahead of your blams... instead of the other way around like I might have thought last year? #;-}>

Saves >>> Blams

Yeah, but that wasn't exactly all I was sayin's... anywho.

More likely, the closest to that will be folks with 15020 and 19995 and so forth. The only way we'll have a perfect moment like biteme with his 10000 right AT #100... is if someone intentionally retires on those perfect numbers like biteme (and I) did.

I wouldn't say it's easier to collect protect points. It just got harder to snatch the blams in time ever since submissions could be blammed after 50 votes. Take the blammers list for example, after that change last fall the top paces were almost cut in half while the top saves paces stayed about the same.

Incidentally, in a few weeks time, I'll be the highest ranked user to have equal saves and blams. I'm about 550 saves away from having a neat total of somewhere around 13k Saves and 13k Blams.

Nice, maybe you can continue the 50:50 ratio all the until EGSC? I think you would be the first to ever pull it off...

Someday, we shall see someone with perfect 15kness at position 100 and then perfect 20kness at position 100. Our achievements grow over time.

I'm aiming for a perfect 30kness. It'll take almost another year but so far I'm right where I want to be.

Well, I'll just type it out here from an example cell in my old VP list spreadsheet file on the old desktop computer. You might do better with an actual copy of the .xls file, so if you can't use this to do anything, just e-mail me (my username on NG @ gmail) and I'll reply to it with the excel file attached when I get around to it, kay? Kay.

="&lt;b&gt;&RIGHT("00"&B2, 3)&".)&lt;/b&gt; "&RIGHT("0"&TEXT(H2,"0.00"),5)&" "&IF(I2="", "[NEW]", IF(H2>I2, "+"&TEXT((H2-I2),"0.00"),IF(I2>H2,"-"&TEXT((I 2-H2),"0.00"),"UNCH.")))&" "&E2&IF(B2=D2,"",IF(B2<D2," +"," ")&(D2-B2))

Now, if you have headers in row #1 in your excel file, this code goes into cell A2 (and then fill down all the way to... well, however many rows you plan to have). Thus, column A makes the output to paste into the BBS posts, the other columns are:

B - rank (1, 2, 3, etc... this number always stays the same even when sorting the list, cause it's B2=1, B3=B2+1, B4=B3+1, etc.)

C - change (not necessary, but I like to see the VP change there, too)

D - previous rank (you copy the rank column of B over to D every time you make a new update, and then when you sort the list, these get sorted "out of order" when people change ranks, and this is what the formula above automatically calculates the rankchanges from without you having to do (much) work.

E - usernames

F - userID# (for breaking ties while sorting)

H - VP data

So just change H to whatever data you want to list, and boom... you got it. You'd have to play with some of the rest of the A column's data output as well. Which I did a long time ago to convert that code from a VP list making formula to a pentalist making formula (which is obviously wayyyy more code with 5 stats + a total sum.

I wouldn't say it's easier to collect protect points. It just got harder to snatch the blams in time ever since submissions could be blammed after 50 votes. Take the blammers list for example, after that change last fall the top paces were almost cut in half while the top saves paces stayed about the same.

Ahhh... I just saw someone who signed up in mid-to-late 2006 post in LUL with like 2000 blams and 7000 saves. That's kinda scary. O_o

Crap. I don't know why I thought that would work. I was trying to use the code you use on the web to prevent HTML code from "taking effect." All the above parts at the start did was boldface one part of the output. I'll change the boldface tags to "[b]" and "[/b]", and you can just change those brackets to <a nd > when you copy/paste it:

="[b]"&RIGHT("00"&B2, 3)&".)[/b] "&RIGHT("0"&TEXT(H2,"0.00"),5)&" "&IF(I2="", "[NEW]", IF(H2>I2, "+"&TEXT((H2-I2),"0.00"),IF(I2>H2,"-"&TEXT((I 2-H2),"0.00"),"UNCH.")))&" "&E2&IF(B2=D2,"",IF(B2<D2," +"," ")&(D2-B2))

There. That should... look a lot better.

Well, we can always say that there are positives and negatives about everything.

I like that saves are in bloom... but a good save/blam ratio being too commonplace? Yeah, it does make it kinda lose its special status/allure to be one of the minority to not have a superhugeblamtosave ratio like in the old days, if that really isn't seen any longer. ;_;

Don't worry, fixit the machine will always have that huge Blam/Save ratio.

So the 15k/15k thing might be more hard to hit now because your saves will want to pull up ahead of your blams... instead of the other way around like I might have thought last year? #;-}>

Could be worth a shot, but only if I reach 14k blams first. Otherwise I'd be losing so many points, it becomes depressing...

More likely, the closest to that will be folks with 15020 and 19995 and so forth. The only way we'll have a perfect moment like biteme with his 10000 right AT #100... is if someone intentionally retires on those perfect numbers like biteme (and I) did.

Well, start praying to some divine stat-based god that it will happen. I believe it will, since it hasn't yet.

i always had a high percentage of saves compared to my blams, and was quite proud of that. now there's people with more protects than blams, heck my alt is nearly at 10,000 protects, by that point i was at like 18k blams, but he's only at 4k :(

Ah well. I should get to saving with gfoxclock, then.

teehee, b/p points is the only thing my alt has over yours ;)

dave/life is going for that. it's been taking him a while, he's been at 14,999 protects for a while, getting those blam points are hard now-a-days :(

Yeah, but that wasn't exactly all I was sayin's... anywho.

Noooooooooooo... you killed teh biteme and his perfect 10kness by booting him out of the top 100. ;_;

Someday, we shall see someone with perfect 15kness at position 100 and then perfect 20kness at position 100. Our achievements grow over time.

tell me about it, i'm sure dave/life could have reached EGSC ages ago if he were to do that. i couldn't stand losing all those points :0

Well, I'm not sure what day it happened since I bneen busy of late Wylo made me sad ah well, life carries on.

That's usually a safe thing to say. Usually.

HOORAY! We can all compare favourably to that ol' crummy bastard.

You could always start a TooCool-type account to take the excess saves. Then by the time you hit 15k/15k on your main account, you'll have an alt with like 500 saves/0 blams. A nice start towards something nifty on another account.

Yeah, but if I did, then I'd be losing out on the main thing, which is Total B/P. I've got an alt account,
C0GMA, who soaks up excess B/P when I switch computers (Office, Home, Girlfriend's House). This tends to happen only when the portal's borderline inactive, but expect him to grab a fair few points on Clock Day, as I'll be on holiday from work and therefore switching from Home to Girlfriend's at least once during the day.

So, gfox is getting points as well? Or is it gfoxclock?

hate to bring this up because i know you're busy and all but...

it's been nearly 3 months since the last update. is there one coming anytime soon?

Beh. Total b/p is no longer the main thing at a certain point. Take it from me. #;-}> ratios and certain blam or save landmarks = teh bestest part.

Ahhh yes, ol' C0GMA. I remember once trying to figure out who all the 0GMAs were, but giving up fairly quickly.

.....

I can't believe this account was #9 in saves about 6 months ago... and is now #19.

I was #13 on the last update of this list, but I clicked the 20 or so profiles under mine, and 6 people have passed 24k since the March update.

Incredible amounts of saves out there.... ripe for the taking.

Yeah, but you've already got past EGSC. Until that point, it's all about the pentiums (Shameless Wierd Al Plug)

We are the Alts of the many, part of the D0GMAtic hive mind. We will rule the portal again!

That sucks in a good sort of way. Saves are good and more people are stepping towards the light, like myself

Yea, I want to know how I fare too. Can someone take over the update?

Well, that's why I said "At a certain point." That certain point is obviously beyond 30,000 for most b/pers. How MUCH beyond, if at all, 30,000... is a subjective matter amongst us, however. #;-}>

Dude, I just told you I found OUT how I'm faring by doing a bit of simple profile clicking.

The last update says I'm #whatever, but I clicked on the 20-30 profiles UNDER me on that list, and found anyone who had passed me. For each person I found who was over 24,000 or so saves, I added 1 to my rank.

I got enough +1s to end up with a new ranking of #19, self-calculated. Give it a shot, it's fun,

I have not checked all the profiles that I need to check yet. (I have checked most of them though.) As far as my protection points increase, I am confident that I have been in the top 50. :)

So what's your rank estimate based on the profiles you've looked at then, eh?

Ooh, a chance to flex my stattly muscles!

I've calculated a rise by me of 26 places. I need another 10 by the update (whenever MP is ready) to get a magical 36 place jump (OH TEH JOYS!)

Just a quick nudge for you, Duke - I've put down more saves than you over the past period and so I'm slowly clawing my way towards you. Better start running ;)
