I remember seeing you a little while ago, _Lightning_ and thinking "wow he's doing really good, it'll take me forever to pass him"

Well, YOU'RE MY STOOL PIGEON NOW!! HAHAH!

I've been keeping my daily b/p stats in my bbs signature. Excel is fun.

Good work!

Wow, Thanks god I clicked your link or I would never found this place, excellent work

looks like I'm about to be passed, I haven't been voting as hard as I used to...

The some reason they've been occuring daily is that I informed liljim the odd-day updates of profile b/p rank were still not happening (I informed him back around 6/6 after a whole month since 5/5 that this problem had started, and he thought he'd fixed it, but while he changed the top 50 list update times, he hadn't changed the profile rank update times after all).

In any event, he had to move them up before maintenance so that the 3 hour maintenance that happens on odd numbered days wouldn't screw with the profile rank updates like it had been. Now we have accurate numbers early every morning. Woot!

I wonder how many remember the first level 30?

you mean it wasn't bomb?

Well I not even totally sure on the b/p. Way back everyone knew it was 900exp to break into being level 30. Who would have thought they run it up to where it is now?

Instead of 10exp..it could set at 100 b/s a day or something like that. Only the Ng staff really knows the truth.

Well, soon all this speculation and mystery will end, finally.

That is, unless you hit 29,999 points and decide to take a 2 week vacation to make all of us groan in agony. #;-}>

LOL! Yeah, I see what you mean. Kinda like being twice as fast as all the other kids you're racing with, crossing the finish line, and looking back to wait for the rest to catch up, when they're panting and only halfway there.

But it's still not as evil as stopping just BEFORE the finish line, when they still have hope of catching you before the race is over. If you actually CROSS it quickly, you're just putting them out of their misery.

If you wait RIGHT before crossing it, you're intensifying their pain and anguish. hehehe. #;-}>

Well Ajax695 buddy, I'm ranked 188th now. That's one less person you have to look up.

Getting a gold badge is easy. Make a new account. Go get lots of blams and prtoects.

When you get to 1,000 ... stop

Sorry, couldn't resist =)

I have achieved part 1 of my plan...*snicker*
To rank up before the person below me.
Since whistle level is like exp, it really got me thinking...

Follow that thought process a little further and it's even more evil. If BP ranks scale, people who have been sitting idle a while will LOSE ranks.

i hope that never hapens =(

Nice. I'm ranking up pretty fast considering the fact that I'm near the top of that list. stafffighter is beating the crap out of me though. He was a few ranks below me just two or three days ago and now he's fully kicking my ass. Oh well, I'll still get up there one of these days. I only have about 1000 blam/protect point to go to get on the Top 50, right?

(Note: 3rd attempt to post this damned thing from the errors I keep getting. Hopefully, I'm not multi-posting)

As of now, you need approximately 900 to make it. In the time it take you to get that though, it's entirely possible for stafffighter and others to raise the bar by pushing mike777 to 50. He's been inactive most of the last week, and the days he does vote have been only for a handful of BPs. Count on needing to pass him to get on and stay and and you won't be too far off the mark.

I'm providing this formula for the people who aren't within spitting distance of the 50, but it may be appropriate for you as well since staff is probably going to get their before you.

Bt = total BPs of the person ranked 50
Yb = your total BPs
Ya = your average per day
Ba = average increase of the number 50 (not the one currently there, average increase in the bar at 50) per day
D = days to top 50

The easy formula:

If Ya - Ba < 0 Your pace is such that the 50 rank will continue to pull away.

The hard one:

D = (Bt-Yb)/Ya + [(Ba(Bt-Yb)/Ya^2]

You will take however many days to get to the point at which they are NOW. The latter part of that is what most people forget. The 50 rank is moving too. How many days will it take you to compensate for that increase (+how many it will take you to compensate for that compensation + etc.)

A simpler way to look at it is to take the main part of that :

(Bt-Yb)/Ya = X

Now it looks like this:

D = X + ((X * Ba)/Ya)

Since February, including the times when the Bt hasn't really moved and the times when it has gone up a lot, the Ba is 15.55. Presume you have 2k BPs and average 50 a day

D = (5549-2000)/50 + [(15.55(5549-2000)/50*50)]
D = 70.98 + ((70.98 * 15.55)/50)
D = 93.05 days

All you need to figure out at this point is what your average is and punch in the numbers.

I get what you're saying. I don't think I actually took the time to punch in all the numbers but my guess is, I should reach the Top 50 in about two months keeping up the pace I'm going at now. 1000 blam/protect points a month is a pretty decent average...

Call it 30/day then

D = (5549-4649)/30 + [(15.55(5549-4649))/(30^2)]
D = 45.55

That's based on both your totals as of 6ish this morning

Call that 30/day then. Based on your respective totals from this morning:

D = (5549-4649)/30 + [(15.55(5549-4649))/(30^2)]
D = 45.55

Better than you thought ^^

So I should hit the Top 50 in about 45 days? Well, that's pretty cool, but do you know how much longer it will take if you factor in the gains from all the people on the Top 50 already? Oh well, all I know is I plan on getting up there soon...

Erm ... did you read my original post with the formulae? If I hadn't, the result I would have gotten would have been 30.

Oh, I get it now. Sorry, I didn't really take the time to plug in all the numbers again. Thanks for the info, though. So, 45 days, huh? I better get started...
