Just noticed something odd though with NG's Top 50 list. Perhaps this is old news, but the levels listed don't seem to match up with people's actual levels. I'm no level 16, and fixit is no level 26.
Bah, this must be old news, someone would have noticed that by now.
Didn't you notice, though, that all the EGSCs have "26" next to EGSC, and all the EG Generals have "25" next to EGG, and all the EG Lieutenant Generals have "24" next to EGLG, and so forth and so on? IOW, that even if it was confusing because you were thinking of EXP levels... that there was an actual correspondance between the b/p rank and the b/p level listed next to it? O_o

Levels start at 1 running up to 30 (old news I know) but ranks start at 0 (citizen) and run up to 26 for SC, 27 in all. Don't ask me why it doesn't go to 30 ... more than likely those extras would have all been sergeant ranks too lol.
Indeed. And since you already feel there are more than enough Sergeant ranks as it is, I'll bet you're glad it doesn't go up to 30.
My guess is that they didn't really think about how many there were like they did with levels. With levels, they probably had the number in mind, or at least a rough number, and just made enough level icons to go with it.
Whereas with the b/p ranks, it's all based on Army ranks, so... they probably didn't notice how many there were and then label them with numbers, until they'd designed all the badges. Who knows, there may have been more originally, and some got cut (like extra sergeant ranks).
BTW, I believe I said something on the last page like "OH NO! If Pimp gets to Police Captain I'll drop from 25 to 26 in VP rank" or something. For some reason, I was confusing -bomb- with Pimp. -bomb- has 10.50, and indeed... if he ranked up, he'd pass both fixit (who's just passed him for #26) and myself in VP... but Pimp has 10.99 (HT has 11.00), and if Pimp gets the 4 more b/p he needs for Police Captain, he will be passing HT and a few other people, to around where HAQ is, not quite to RyoHahn's rank.
