Title: Top posters (revised 12-23-07)
Post by GMO on 01/22/07 at 14:07:11

January 22, 2007

Because I'm always interested in Top 10 lists, here are -- by number of posts -- the top 10 in the FFG forums. (Note: this includes all of the forums, but judging by a look at the numbers, I think TI3 and its PBeMs have the most prolific posters.)

1. Mike Evans 2882
2. Paul Lazax 2307
3. Pandy 2167
4. Lothar of the Hill People 2050
5. Eppic 1900
6. orc conquest 1813
7. Chrissaril 1726
8. Mike Zebrowski 1721
9. sigmazero13 1614
10. Trevelyan 1602

The "youngest" of these -- by far -- is sigmazero13; he's only been on the boards about seven months. He's a good role model for the rest of us up-and-comers. And a couple of these guys aren't on the TI3 boards much (if at all).

Perhaps some of you newly-minted FFG Gods are wondering how far away you are from the top 10? Wonder no longer:

49. Hyperturtle 540
52. B0RG 529
55. Eternal 506
56. Phil 501
57. robofish 475 (knockin' on the door)

And then there's me:

123. GMO 225 (woo-hoo!)

If I'd play my A Game of Thrones pbems here on the board too, I had like a couple of thousand posts ;D

My ~900 posts are all on topics to (strategy) discussions and rule clarifications, mostly on AGOT of course ;) Is there a Top10 for that too ? :)

You're certainly welcome to comb through each profile for that info, if you'd like. ;)

No there seems to be no way to separate out such specific information. These post numbers are from any page anywhere on FFG.

Im not sure Im sad or happy not to be on that list.. nehe, jess' kiddin'

ps; brillant topic. Totally meaningless, but brilliant! 8-)

And I think almost everyone in the top 8 except Pandy (England) and Eppic (The Great White North) have met each other at one time or another. Geography has certainly played a role in that. Evans and Chrissaril live in Indiana; Lazax was born in Indiana and lives in Ohio on the border; Lothar and Orc both live in southern Michigan and at least one of them has lived in Ohio; and Zebrowski works for FFG in Minnesota and runs the Mega Twilight game at GenCon in Indy each year.

We've unofficially dubbed the 1000-post level as the Get a Life Club. We really need to come up with a name for us 2000-post guys.

Well, I would sign a petition to award each of those an extra star, at the very least. It doesn't feel right that I, at a quarter of those posts, am ranked as divine as the top 10. (At least, it wouldn't if I took it seriously... :-[ heheh.)
(I do so have a life!)
(At least, for another 460 or so posts...)

I thought 2000+ was known as the "Post a year" club - that's a post a year since the birth of Christ...

The "When-will-they-learn-those-aren't-the-posts-you-need-to-build-a-fence" Club?
The "Dishes can wait" Club?

So these numbers show that those of us in the mid-west United States (other than a couple exeptions) are the ones who really need a life? I'm another Minnesotan. Maybe these numbers simply confirm what we've known for a long time ... :)

My son asked me who my favorite player was.
I said Mike Evans.
He asked if he played for the Pacers.
I said: Well...kind of.
Just another example of generation gap. ;)

Now I get it!

Chris and other friends, can you imagine Mike in a Pacer's jersey dunking the ball? ::)

;D

Personally, the last time time I could dunk was back in '91 and that was only a women's basketball, not the full-sized men's ball. My knees and ankles would rebel at the thought of me trying to pull that off now-a-days.

Not to mention I will be going to death and taxes and will be going through Ft Wyane on my way. (though I will be dropping my family off in Columbus Ohio).

Love to, though I doubt I'd stand much of a chance against you lot. Not that it matters, a good game is hard to come by and I always welcome a challenge. PM me with the details.

And Bismark66 lives in Columbus, OH, so maybe that'll be an excuse for him to ride along. ;)

Well, if we get enough guys here (already expecting 8+) we could either try to get a huge game going, or split up into multiple simultaneous games. I could easily move things around so as to have three games going on in adjacent rooms.

If we end up with just one game, I'd be very pleased to finish in the top 4. :)

One option would be to dual map a 5 player game...

I oftentimes play with Mike and Chris at Mike's place.

Serdudds came down from South Bend for my February game (Pro Bowl Imperium). Maybe you could carpool to Death, Taxes and Twilight in late April.

March 5, 2007

Here's an update to the thread, a comparison of a 6-week period of posting activity (with positions relative to the first post, when available):

1. 1. Mike Evans 3071 (+189)
4. 2. Lothar of the Hill People 2579 (+529)
2. 3. Paul Lazax 2578 (+271)
5. 4. Eppic 2362 (+462)
7. 5. Chrissaril 2243 (+517)
3. 6. Pandy 2177 (+ 10)
6. 7. orc conquest 2091 (+278)
9. 8. sigmazero13 2023 (+409)
8. 9. Mike Zebrowski 1767 (+ 46)
10. 10. Trevelyan 1609 (+ 7)

So in the last 6 weeks, 4 of the FFG SuperGods (1000+ posts) have become UltraGods (2000+ posts). And, of course, one person has become an ÜberGod (3000+ posts). [All ranks courtesy of GMO, who figured that a person with 3000 posts ought to have achieved something more than someone with 500. How about it, FFG? Can we get new ranks instituted?]

And the new gods:

64. dsortj 506
65. Olmestig 501
66. GMO (!) 501
67. Richimed 499 (poundin' on the door)
68. Beri 496 (knockin' at the door)

I've already got the honorary "Rex Magnifica" which is unique to the boards and not attainable any other way than being "knighted" by an FFG administrator. I feel privileged enough!

Though I certainly wouldn't turn down another title, if one were accessible.

I'm hoping the GM will add an A-guest-ometer Aggressometer to the game. :)

Seconded! Any aggressive behavior is more than welcome.

Because Ophidian demanded it, here's another six-week update to this post count thread. The three numbers before a person's name are, in order: position January 22, position March 5, position April 20. The numbers after a person's name are, in order: total posts, posts since March 5, posts since January 22.

4. 2. 1. Lothar of the Hill People 3194 (615) (1144) ÜberGod
1. 1. 2. Mike Evans 3119 ( 48) ( 237) ÜberGod
5. 4. 3. Eppic 2917 (555) (1017) UltraGod
2. 3. 4. Paul Lazax 2893 (315) ( 586) UltraGod
7. 5. 5. Chrissaril 2581 (338) ( 855) UltraGod
6. 7. 6. orc conquest 2276 (185) ( 463) UltraGod
9. 8. 7. sigmazero13 2258 (235) ( 644) UltraGod
3. 6. 8. Pandy 2178 ( 1) ( 11) UltraGod
-- -- 9. Murph 1857 SuperGod
8. 9. 10. Mike Zebrowski 1794 ( 27) ( 73) SuperGod

That makes 2 ÜberGods (1 new) and 6 UltraGods. The lowest-ranking SuperGod is down at number 35: caillin. The lowest-ranking God is number 76: Bighab.

And I'm in the top 50 now! Number 49, up from 66 at the last survey. Just a couple hundred away from SuperGod (also known as Get a Life Club)...

Post by GMO on 08/01/07 at 21:37:15

Because it's about that time again, here is the most updated ranking of the top posters:

2. 1. 1. Lothar of the Hill People 3612 (+418) Elder God
4. 3. 2. Eppic 3442 (+525) Elder God
5. 5. 3. Chrissaril 3404 (+823) Elder God
1. 2. 4. Mike Evans 3359 (+240) Elder God
3. 4. 5. Paul Lazax 3260 (+367) Elder God
7. 6. 6. orc conquest 2639 (+360) Elder God
8. 7. 7. sigmazero13 2601 (+343) Elder God
-- 9. 8. Murph 2200 (+343) Elder God
6. 8. 9. Pandy 2185 (+ 7) Elder God
-- -- 10. Ugluk 1964 Über God

Congrats to Ugluk for breaking into the top 10. PsiComa's knocking on the door just 40 posts behind. Give these guys a couple of months and "Pandy" (not on the TI3 boards) will be booted off the Top 10 altogether, making it all TI3, all the time.

Biggest news since the last update is the new ranks. Here are the current stats on our gods:

Elder Gods: 9
Über Gods: 33
Gods: 53

Keep an eye out for these fast risers, who are pushing Über God status in just a few months:

Umpapa2 969
darkflame 872
The Sleeper 854
XLII 838

These are the only four members in the top 100 that have registered this year.

As for me, I've moved up to number 42, up from number 49 three months ago. And the newest Über God (also known as the Get a Life Club).

Because I only do this whenever I hit a new milestone, let's update this list:

1. 1. 1. Lothar of the Hill People 4407 (+795) Great Old One
5. 3. 2. Chrissaril 4187 (+783) Great Old One
3. 2. 3. Eppic 3763 (+321) Great Old One
2. 4. 4. Mike Evans 3344 (- 15) Great Old One
4. 5. 5. Paul Lazax 3290 (+ 30) Great Old One
6. 6. 6. orc conquest 2891 (+252) Elder God
7. 7. 7. sigmazero13 2791 (+190) Elder God
-- 10. 8. Ugluk 2576 (+612) Elder God
-- 11. 9. PsiComa 2473 (+549) Elder God
9. 8. 10. Murph 2265 (+ 65) Elder God

Congrats to PsiComa for breaking into the top 10. With his "Call of Valor" tournament going on, he may climb a few more spots before it's all said and done. Knocking on the door:

12. redscare 1912
14. Mordred24 1857
15. bismark66 1854

Here are the current stats on our gods:

Great Old Ones: 5
Elder Gods: 6
Über Gods: 38
Gods: 42

Congrats to the newest Über God:
49. possumman 1039

And we've definitely lost some posts somewhere; the total number of gods is down from 95 to 91. This is most evident in the fact that Mike Evans' post count has gone down.

As for me:

49. 42. 25. GMO 1500

Darn.

Do you think you could extend that list all the way down to around 500 posts?

The problem with my posts per day is that I had the account for a while, but I did not post anything but just read over a few posts when interesting things came up.

If I had created a new account when I started posting I probably would be around 3 or 4 posts per day... :'(

I suppose I will have to invite people over just to show them my post count. Maybe that will make me feel better... :-?

Wow. I need a life...

No, that is when you hit 4000 posts. I believe it was suggested as the name for that rank before. I also believe that "call me Kevin" was suggested for 4000 posts too. :)

I must say I'm impressed with ascendancy of Beren and darkflame. Ranked 11th and 13th, respectively. You guys must be shooting for "FFG Call Me Kevin" rank...

You want to know what is sad. I can count how many posts I gained since the last board crash since that is when I started my first PBeM GMing.

Before 9/2/07, I had 342 posts. This just put me at 2087. The fact is, I have gained 1745 posts in 64 days. That is on average 27.267 posts per day!

19 PBeMs and GMing 3 games and 1 in the near future will do that to a guy though.

I can't even fit Gotterdammerung2 into the bottom of my sig.

Just create a TI3Wiki page with your information (like http://www.ti3wiki.org/index.php?title=User:IqAndreas, or in your case http://www.ti3wiki.org/index.php?title=User:Beren_Erchamion or whatever your TI3Wiki name is) and link it in your sig.

I wish. Several of them are slow and Cherry Pie and TACs are close to finishing. RatEotU is dead in the water without a GM. It's kinda crazy, but I have been able to play every race, but Jol Nar now.

Post by GMO on 11/12/07 at 06:24:01

And there's 3001!

Yeah, for as much as you comment within the threads of the Valor games, you won't have any trouble keeping pace with the top guys (Lothar, Chris, and Eppic).

And part of what's so impressive about your point total is the relatively small percentage that is PBeM specific. You are crazy prolific on this board, whereas most totals are significantly padded by games.

I joined my first PBF on 750 posts or so. And since then I've tried to stick with one game at a time.

Well, I'm certainly not as active as some, and while I'm sure to be surpassed in the near future, you may now also "call me Kevin".

4000 RBI's

I have been fortunate enough not to lose my account, but I have lost a couple 'chunks' of posts.

Now, is there somebody out there crossing the 2000 post level today, too?

Not true. You've put on 2100 posts since the end of January. Aside from Lothar and Chris, probably only Crazy Beren has that many.

It's the endurance, not necessarily the intensity.

Because I feel like it, here's an update to the list:

1. 1. 1. Lothar of the Hill People 4908 (+501) Great Old One
3. 2. 2. Chrissaril 4712 (+525) Great Old One
2. 3. 3. Eppic 4436 (+673) Great Old One
11. 9. 4. Psi Neversleeping 3820 (+1347) Great Old One
-- -- 5. Crazy Beren 3452(~+1600) Great Old One
4. 4. 6. Mike Evans 3444 (+100) Great Old One
5. 5. 7. Paul Lazax 3304 (+ 14) Great Old One
7. 7. 8. sigmazero13 3172 (+381) Great Old One
6. 6. 9. orc conquest 3089 (+198) Great Old One
10. 8. 10. Ugluk 2957 (+381) Elder God

Most noteworthy observations here: the rapid rises of Psi Neversleeping (PsiComa) and Crazy Beren (Beren_Erchamion).

Psi, always a frequent contributor, has really accelerated here in the last couple months with his Call of Valor tournament and thread.

And Beren has gone, well, crazy. Bear in mind that these figures are for the past two months. Two months! We have on record that he hit post 2001 on 11/4/07, a mere seven weeks ago. At this pace, he will eclipse Lothar by March. In fact, so will Psi.

Also worth noting:

11. darkflame 2525
12. bnorton916 2440
14. Mordred24 2155

Mordred deserves some attention here for his remarkable consistency. When I first compiled this list nearly a year ago, he was #15. Since then, he has always been in the top 15, though never in the top 10 (thanks to rapid ascensions from the likes of Ugluk, Psi, Beren, and a few others who have since faded somewhat).

Here are the current stats on our gods:

Great Old Ones: 9
Elder Gods: 9
Über Gods: 40
Gods: 53

The newest God:
111. Turin 502

The newest Über God:
