Heh, I made the sheet and even I forgot about it. Check the "B" list, which is by total blams, active only. You were 49 on it when I posted, 48 now.

Just had a thought and wanted to see if there was any interest. If not, I'm obviously not going to bother. Judging from the amount of feedback I've gotten on the new layout, I'm not holding my breath :-P~~~~

I can insert a column listing the average Blams/Day. The Top 50s are at 6 columns, the same as the EGRL, so I've got a concern about how "busy" it will end up by adding it.

It was kind of unintentional since I was rushing and forgot to take them out (both times I did it). I don't have things keyed to put bold, italics, or underline on the last two columns (total blams or saves and %), but it obviously doesn't matter. Aside from gfox' "I'll get back to you," you're the only response to my inquiries for opinions or ideas I've received in the last six weeks. Since the only people they matter to are you, Greg, and I, I may as well drop them.

Nothing wrong with being a blam machine. It's just that you and SPG's saves are so low. Work on getting those up a bit, and your blammachineness won't be so obvious and lopsided. #;-}>

And Saves/Day, I presume, on the other list?

I dunno, it could work, but... as you say, there's enough columns already. BTW, I think the only thing from my version you currently don't have in place is the indicator of whether the person is also on the saves list (or also on the blams list if they're on the saves list). So... in a way, a doublelisted? column would be my main recommendation. Or, actually, perhaps doublelisted people would have their entire line boldfaced or something to distinguish it from the non-doublelisted?

Ahhh... Well, if you continue to have the colour-coding, the only thing I would say is that if it's just based on the overall EG list, it might be a bit unfair... as someone who gets a lot of saves (like TooCool) but no blams won't be likely to get even the 50+ b/p colouring... but surely deserves some recognition. So... if colour was preserved, perhaps 50+ and 100+ blams/day average would get different colours... but on the saves list, only 20+ and 40+ saves/day or something even lower would be more appropriate.

As for my getting back to you... THIS is my getting back to you, dagnabit. I haven't been posting since the 27th. Plus, I even e-mailed you corrections after you fixed your list update on the 28th, so... NYAH! #;-}>

Anyway, one last thing I will say: what did you mean by "drop them?" the saves/day and blams/day? Eh... maybe you could ask for more feedback first in YOUR topic, as mine are fairly dead.

One more thing I'll say: I love the A list and the C list (by %), but the B list (active list) isn't quite so important. For one thing, it's hardly different, I think maybe 1 or 2 people were on the active lists that weren't on the overall top 50 lists... then again, that may just be because this was the first update of your version. Eh... anywho, just a thought. If it takes an inordinate amount of time to weed out the inactives for the B list, I'm just saying, I think it should be the one to go. As long as the A list and the C list keep getting made, I be happy!

Or, actually, perhaps doublelisted people would have their entire line boldfaced or something to distinguish it from the non-doublelisted?

The only issue on that is that I now have eight lists. Which two would I mean lol Obviously it's going to be a bit difficult to be on both the % blams and % saves lists, but one could easily be on 2 blam lists and 2 save lists (totals like you, I, and quite a few others), 4 save lists (Toocool), or 4 blam lists (SPG and jujmcint).

So... if colour was preserved, perhaps 50+ and 100+ blams/day average would get different colours... but on the saves list, only 20+ and 40+ saves/day or something even lower would be more appropriate.

My original intent had been to switch thecolours back to taupe, perhaps carrying the bold and italic font changes through to highlight the rank ups and inactives. The stars need to go. Good point on the B/S differentials. To preserve the integrity of the 100/50 ppd, 70/35 bpd and 30/15 spd may be better ratios.

Actually it's a B (totals) and D (percents) list that removes the inactives. I knew a lot of people on % blams were inactive, and presumed that % saves was going to be similar ... but ended up being a lot more. I included a B list to preserve the symmetry, as well as the fact that it gives people the opportunity to see "a few" slots down the list. Total saves only removed one, total blams three, this time around, but the percent lists removed 35 and 9. They are easy to maintain, as all it entails is hiding the rows on which I see an italics code before going through and renumbering everyone.

Now let's see if anyone has anything to say :-P~~~

Yeah, I read the how to top 50 thingie on the site. 70/35 and 30/15 aren't insanely intuitive, but they're a good range. If not many people end up getting those amounts, perhaps 50/25 and 20/10? More intuitive, IMO.

It seems that it was, as I coulda told you before you even posted about it here. Just look at how many posts have happened since the last updates were posted... compared to how it was a year ago, the top 50 topics are silent. ;_;

Yeah, it does make more of a difference on the % lists, that's for sure.

Well, if they're so easy to maintain, why did you start off this post talking about "OGM 8 LISTS" and all? #;-}>

Now let's see if anyone has anything to say :-P~~~

Nope. No one in this here chicken coop but us chickens (i.e. listupdaters).

I'd obviously have a cut-off at Elite Guard if I went that route. There's one person stalled at 808/808 since I found him, so they'd end up in first the whole time.

It's not that I'm overwhelmed with them. As they stand, they are fairly easy to post. Every one thing I add to the top 50s adds it 8 times though, so I keep having to balance out what I'd like to do with how much more time it will add.

Yeah, I read the how to top 50 thingie on the site. 70/35 and 30/15 aren't insanely intuitive, but they're a good range. If not many people end up getting those amounts, perhaps 50/25 and 20/10? More intuitive, IMO.

Odds are that the people getting blue and gold on the EGRL are going to get them on the A and B blam lists as well. You had a good point with putting something like that in, as it will allow people like Toocool and Santo the opportunity to get coloured when they otherwise would not. 30/70 saves to blams seems to be a fairly typical ratio in the submissions. Maybe more 35/65 or 40/60, but I'd rather not put that added pressure on the Saves Only folks to get gold. Toocool used to run 25-35/day, so should periodically get it when he starts voting again.

Anyway, it just sounded like you were getting a little impatient with me, but it wasn't like I was here posting in other topics and just ignoring the top 50 suggestions thing, I just plain wasn't posting, 'tisall!

Unintentional. The target was to motivate everyone else ... which worked miserably until I posted in LUL.

When I first saw the lists before I did my final updates, though, I coulda sworn there were only A, B, and C lists. Did I just miss the D lists the first time around?

They were all there last time, but the trouble is that to get to D, you have to go to C first, so the presumption is that "Active Only", from C, leads back to the B list. Part and parcel to why I wrote up that "How To" stuff for both lists. The demos are all still there: A, B, C, D.

Yeah, it does make more of a difference on the % lists, that's for sure.

Once fixit gets back into italics, it'll show another slot on the B lists. There's a few other people bordering inactive that may add to it.

Well, if they're so easy to maintain, why did you start off this post talking about "OGM 8 LISTS" and all? #;-}>

As above, just the head's up to people that the reason I may not do something is that it's not just work done once

Right. I noticed TheRealRebel was doing pretty well in terms of s2b% when I was pulling the PentaList, and sure enough, there is he doing well on both the C and D saviour lists.

True. I mean, with my high-end blue on the EGRL, there's no way I could have avoided having blue on either the blam OR save lists... I ended up getting it on both, though. NO one got the gold on the save list, I noticed. And only a couple on the blam list. It'll be interesting to see the flux in that aspect of the list updates.

Yeah, especially Friday morning for some strange reason. I think it's mostly that good flash authors sometimes want to submit their flashes at a time when the portal is calm and not super busy so that their flash won't get lost in a huge pile... won't be voted on by people in a hurry to not miss a bunch of blams and vote badly on their movie by accident/without watching... and finally, want to increase the number of reviews they get because there will be less UJ movies and their's will have a larger share of the audience's eyes.

Just my theory there. Voting is certainly calmer and less frenzied in the mornings than during primetime, that's for sure.

Easy enough if you want to. One of the things I went about doing this past week for creating a new standardization on nomenclature. Just change mmddyy to the date ... 072404 was the last, 080704 was this one, etc.

For the EGRL:
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyA.html is the A list (sort by rank)
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyB.html is the B list (sort by avg)
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyC.html is the "Current" page ... just links to everything in the update.
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyM.html is the Main Page Comments

The top 50s are all standardized as well, just change Top50B to Top50S for the Saviors:

Out of the top 100: duma (79), sonic (133), kospas (50), heretik (50), and adrenalinemj (50) are all inactive.

4 days from being inactive: fixit, _newt, courtday, bigmanbrainy, helldoll81, ragevi, and denvish.

16 days from inactive; newgrundling and osiris_capsule.

I did a resort of the people based on that one stat you were interested in and I'll e-mail it in a sec ... and yes, I got rid of everything else lol. I left the days inactive in place (now column F) just in case you were interested in that as well.

G is just the absolute value of 50%-blams/BPs sorted A-Z. As expected, pepe came out on top and any "top 50" of it is dominated by people who are inactive.

Ah well, at least everyone's in the same boat. I have slight hopes for Clock Day after all, though... this morning, 4+ Clock Crew commercials were submitted as part of some contest, and all were protected, so... if there's still enough people submitting quality clock flash on August 15th, perhaps this month will indeed by another good month for saves and for points in general, too.

If only one person gets gold on the EGRL, the way it's been the last couple of updates with MPA, there shouldn't be much more going gold on any of the Top 50s.

Unless MPA is doing only blamming, I suppose.

Yeah. I totally missed the D list for 7/24... oh well. I'd go into the archives and track 'em down to save 'em, but I got A B and C, and I'll just save the D list from this update onward. LAZY ME. #;-}>

Easy enough if you want to. One of the things I went about doing this past week for creating a new standardization on nomenclature. Just change mmddyy to the date ... 072404 was the last, 080704 was this one, etc.

... oh, I know, trust me. Didn't you see the post I made somewhere (perhaps the EGRL topic) regarding my shortcuts to Main.html and Current.html not working anymore? That's entirely due to your name date-based file-naming protocol, and I learned that quite quickly on Saturday, yes.

Oh well, judging from the replies, perhaps some people BESIDES me and jonthomson will learn it as well due to your lesson. #;-}>

For the EGRL:
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyA.html is the A list (sort by rank)
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyB.html is the B list (sort by avg)
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyC.html is the "Current" page ... just links to everything in the update.
http://www.d0gma.com/NG/Arch/Updates/Site/mmddyyM.html is the Main Page Comments

The top 50s are all standardized as well, just change Top50B to Top50S for the Saviors:

Hooray! Yeah, someone surprised me by being inactive in all five columns of the PentaList tonight... I can't remember who, and I don't track inactivity, so... er... oh well.

Out of the top 100: duma (79), sonic (133), kospas (50), heretik (50), and adrenalinemj (50) are all inactive.

RyoHahn gets exp every day. Nothing but exp, but exp nonetheless. I think all the others get SOME amount of exp, as well. Heretik certainly does.

4 days from being inactive: fixit, _newt, courtday, bigmanbrainy, helldoll81, ragevi, and denvish.

Yes, well, fixit's no surprise. Plus, he WAS active on the PentaList. He fell by exactly one point if you didn't notice (dropped from 2 reviews to 1 review).

I so envy the author who can now claim to fixit's SOLE review (I love his response to him, as well... heh).

Courtday's not a surprise either... I wish Brainy would reactivate in b/p, yes... and helldoll and Denvish. RageVI is still getting exp.

And, finally... yes, it was _Newt, you snagged him.

Of course I'd long been aware that _Newt had stopped on 16666 b/p from my daily once-over of the top 50 b/p's entirity, and then a few days later hit and stayed on 16669.... but even though he's been at that b/p number since mid-July or so, I didn't realise he'd gotten NO exp, NO posts, NO nothing since then as well. He's in complete NG retirement mode, I hope it's temporary.

Speaking of temporary retirements, I noticed that agent66 stopped getting exp after just having come back, but now he's moving a bit again in exp and b/p. Not in posts and reviews as he was back in June/July though.

16 days from inactive; newgrundling and osiris_capsule.

Newgrundling's only recent activity that I noticed was him moving up from 6967 posts to 6969 posts while I was updating my own postrank in the past few weeks. #;-}>

I did a resort of the people based on that one stat you were interested in and I'll e-mail it in a sec ... and yes, I got rid of everything else lol. I left the days inactive in place (now column F) just in case you were interested in that as well.

hmmm...

G is just the absolute value of 50%-blams/BPs sorted A-Z. As expected, pepe came out on top and any "top 50" of it is dominated by people who are inactive.

ahhh. Fascinating. Indeed. XwaynecoltX should still be near parity, I believe. And agent66, as well. He turned on the blammachine since his year-long retirement ended, but he's gotten 150 saves in the past month as well.

Heh, I actually thought of you when I made that new Current page last update ... "gee, won't gfox love being able to open all these at once?"

NGling got one blam or some such before the last update, so went back to "active." It takes 3 updates to go back to inactive, which basically means that if you earn 1 point every 6 or 7 weeks, you stay out of italics. There were a few people, with almost 5 months inactive from that latest start point in March, that did the same thing this time around, so I expect they'll work their way back to italics soon enough.

ahhh. Fascinating. Indeed. XwaynecoltX should still be near parity, I believe. And agent66, as well. He turned on the blammachine since his year-long retirement ended, but he's gotten 150 saves in the past month as well.

123 and 22nd, respectively. You have to go down to pox at 62nd to get to anyone over 10k BPs, which kind of sucks. Like you said, the upcoming CC day should help even things out some more for those of us tilted to the dark side ... plus these submission bans aren't hurting my ratio either. I may get under 240% B2S ^^

Especially when I'm linking to 0catch pages ;) Instead of 404s, any non-existent page tries to swallow your hard drive in pop-ups. It's why I don't make pages publicly available at any of my sites right after I've written them ... I need to go through and make sure all the links work out so no one has to suffer that crap.

Phew, well im glad im not on da list

That is a good thing right?

Simply a matter of opinion. Some people enjoy racking up blam points on the Portal. Others, however, would think we're 'sad' or wasting our time. Think what you like.

It's possible he wasn't talking from either of those perspectives or standpoints...

maybe he thinks blamming is frowned upon and only saving is good (an impression one could get if they'd heard rumours about Wade's tirades from 1.5 years ago about people voting 0, for instance). And thus, he's not sure but thinks it's a good idea not to be on the top 50 list of people who kill movies on the portal. :::shrugs:::

Heh. Well, saying "da" instead of the tends to be more of a stylistic choice, methinks, than a shortcut/timesaver. Don't be so hard on the guy, he's just acting "urban." #;-}>

White-bread, suburban-trash, ghetto-boy wannabe does far more justice to my feelings on the matters than simply calling him a "wigger."

Fair number of rankups, considering the time between updates, but... just like with the top 100 VP, that is going to slowly take a downturn as time goes by.

(snipping huge amounts of C&D welcomes and rankups... wow... that one, OTOH, isn't... as most of the members are at low ranks)

Makes a bit more sense than last time ^^ The special mentions I did in Saves I'll do here as well, but I'm just doing them at 5k splits. Odds on you'll be getting yours for 25k next update.

No doubt. There were a surprisingly large number of officer rank-ups this time.

(snipping huge amounts of C&D welcomes and rankups... wow... that one, OTOH, isn't... as most of the members are at low ranks)

Some of the new folks are people I've just found, while others are getting added as they rank up from PC. There's always going to be a lot of action on C&D methinks.
