I have lots useful or informative things to say, they just aren't about fencing. I have snarky covered too.

| I'm on 2900 with relatively little posts. It's important who's repping you, there's some sort of formula for how much reputation points you get when you're repped by someone. When i'm repped by neinteen i get around 100 rep points but when ZZ reps me i get almost 700 | |

| Bah... I have more rep than anyone right now (ZZ and I have been bumping each other off of the top seat for sometime now). I don't know about blondie (the Swedish one) but I give mine out pretty frivolously.
You realize Neinteen, it will be a long time before you make it to the 1st page, and much longer still before you make it to the top 10.

| Yeah I know... but the last bit takes longer, the higher up you go. I have over 40K (which is an insane amount) so she's 1/4 of the way to the top spot. While she's moving upwards, so are all the other people above and below her.
Look how long it's been since the Squirrel King or Mr. E has been here. One can assume they haven't received rep (or very little) since they left. Yet they are in #5 and #16 position. I find they are good benchmarks, as they are the only ones I know of that are standing still in rep. Yet they are still on the first half of the top page.
Things at the top move very slowly.... and not because we are Epeeists (That's efficiency... I'm answering Inq's quip before he even gets a chance to post)

No, sometimes he just forgets his meds. We should get him one of those days of the week pill holder things for Christmas, and maybe a Clapper(tm) and a Medalert(tm) necklace.

| It blew up on Vegeta's head when he even aimed it in my general direction.
My power ( on a YYH scale ) is over 50k
