Before I start catching up, I should note that for the past couple of hours, I've been having on-and-off-again troubles with loading anything from home.houston.rr.com, so... if you can't get through to the pentalist update, please try again 5 minutes later. It's not completely down or anything, just timeout-prone right now... very very strange.
It seems to be working better for me now (often, I'd get the main update to load, but if I tried to go to any of the archived old updates, they would timeout instead of loading... but now things are loading much smoother). Anyway, the worst seems to be over, but just a warning/explanation in case anyone else is still having problems.

Congrats on your 100th post.
Okay... let me rephrase that thought from a week ago... AHEM...
AS LONG AS YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY CONGRATTED ME FOR A MUCH HIGHER NUMBER IN ANY GIVEN STAT, it's better late than never, so thanks for the belated congrats! #;-}>
So... MPA, if you haven't congratted on me on any postcounts since 99... I apologise. Otherwise... GRRRRRRR. #;-}>
Nice update el cap-e-tan, looks like Recon is doing good at holding me off. He's next on my saves climb too I believe.
Oh, he is indeed holding his own at teh #3 spot, but... your progress up the pentalist ranks is as inevitable and inexorable as Star Wars III's climb up the top 50 all-time domestic box office: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/domestic.htm
50 Saving Private Ryan $216,540,909
51 Star Wars: Episode III $215,913,000
52 Mission: Impossible II $215,409,889
Mrs. Ryan... I regret to inform you that your son was killed in action in... wait... I mean... that your son's movie is now outta teh top 50. Yeah. Somethin' like that.

That could refer to so many things, but I'll just assume you're referring to the pentalist in general. Thank you. #;-}>

Actually I should be apologizing to Bonus for that remark. I was alluding to butt smooching but your hypothesis had me rolling on the floor! Everyone bent over shaving each other's ass. Too harsh.
LOL! I see. I didn't realise butt shaving equalled butt kissing. :::files that away for future reference:::
I sure do gfox. That's why I added some new links in my BBS sig. Now when the newbies visit the Wi/Ht? forum asking about levels (like I did when I first arrived) or blam/protect ranks, I can direct them to my sig instead of continuously typing out the formula (makes it easier for me). I should've done that a long time ago. I'm gonna try and add Newgrundling's whistle FAQ too.
Grooveh. I noticed you added a link to the Wi/Ht? memberlist page I made in your sig to go along with the PentaList link as well. Also, YoinK seems to have the PentaList set as his homepage (so there's some free advertising for it on the top 50 exp list page!)... grooviness all around. Thanks for the PR, peoples. #;-}>
Didn't I read a post somewhere that said he took back his savior crown from you? So does that make you the Savior Queen now? gfox in drag... YIKES!
On April 29th, yes. The events were much discussed by him and myself and others in the top 50 saves list topic, so that's probably what you're thinking of.
As for Saves Queen... I'm pretty sure ramagi has that market cornered. As she'll tell you, as long as she's the highest female in any given stat (be it b/p or blams or saves... and she is indeed the highest in all three), she reigns as Queen. But thanks for thinking of me. O_O
I guess I'm just the Saves... um... First Officer? O_O
Thats true, but I wouldn't trade even if ~X~ wanted to (which I'm sure he doesn't). Accounts are kind of a personal thing so it wouldn't mean much to me unless I earned them. A few months ago I wrote a review for a game (first one in ages) and the bloody thing was flagged (stolen submission). Put me off reviewing for a spell but I think I'll start up again.
Well, I'm glad to hear you wouldn't trade either, the way you were talking with him it sounded like you'd be tempted. #;-}>
And yes, the problem with a "reviews for saves" trade is that saves don't have accompanying TEXT with them.. like the review and postcounts do. Saves and blams are anonymous and simple. Reviews and posts may contribute points to your total on lists like this one, but they are much more complex and each one holds more data in it than just a "+1" (well, for most people... heh #;-}>).
Plus you wouldn't get a chance to wear those trendy stiletto pumps ^_^
Oh boy... #;-}>

Well I fianlly had some time to look at the update and vote on the fan net for you.
Thanks!
This is a crazy week for me. So thanks for the update, I really going to look like a slacker next update.
You still got plenty of points this past week. Not very many blams, but a good amount of saves (I noticed your savecount was boosted quite a bit by Lock Day specifically!... sadly, I was asleep/out of the apartment for much of the Lock Day saves ;_;) and tons of posts as has become usual for you, eh?
In any event... There are 10+ people in the 34 people on the pentalist who are much more slacker-y than you ever are, ramagi. :::nods:::
