I haven’t progressed as far as some here (only level 38, #18,803 in the standings). But **I’ve** got a +22 Invisible Lance. And you don’t. At least, you probably don’t. Hell, I don’t know…these things could be common as dirt for all I know. Excuse me…I have a Golden Arrow I have to seek… ---

Witness the awesome power of MojoBlink, Double Hobbit Mu-Fu Monk and twig-deliverer extraordinaire! (I found it quite amusing to acquire in rapid succession an ape ass, a sprite can and a pirate booty. Not to mention the kobold penii and gorgon testicles. Obsess much? 🙂 ) ---

Two level 38s… GingerMonkey and, of course, Abel. Both are in the 19.000 range right now, but I expect I’ll be in the top 50 in another 5 years or so. Beware my vicious steely zip gun! I am the vorpalest double-wookie out there! Shiv-knight means not having to say you’re sorry! ---

Well, your strength rating will make a little bit of a difference, since that is more time in the killing fields and less time bartering with the mysterious shopkeep who can somehow manage to drive demand for the items you collect in direct proportion to your experience level. A mysterious man indeed. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by \*\*Smeghead \*\* > What the HELL?? Now I’m at #11603!! How’d that happen? It’s been running nonstop! My take on this is that when you advance a level, you get stuck into the standings above all other players at that level. So the longer you stay at one experience level, you’ll slowly drift down the standings until the next time you advance. Just my WAG. It definitely doesn’t look to me as if the standings are based on anything but level – prime stat, favorite tactic, and equipment all seem to be purely decorative. WLight at 48, ranked 10945. ---

I was looking at my stats and there was a guy _higher_ in ranking than me, but at a lower experience level. ---

Yeah, I’ve seen that, too. I’ve glanced over the rankings quite a few times and I can’t see any rhyme or reason to them. ---

Had you just raised a level? The rankings supposedly take 15 minutes to update. Also, I forgot to say earlier that I really wish the rankings were searchable by rank, so I could see how groovy I have to be to be in the top 5000, for example. ---

Ctrl-B forces your standings to update without having to wait. I just don’t get it. Sigh. Let’s see where I’m at now… #11637. I can’t run it _more_ uninterruptedly! ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by_\* Smeghead \*\*\* > Ctrl-B forces your standings to update without having to wait. I’m not sure it does, at least not for me. If I Ctrl-B before I gain a level, or change equipment, or raise my prime stat, then leave the rankings window open, and Ctrl-B again after the change takes place, it’s not reflected on my entry in the rankings. I have tested this multiple times. ---

Hi, Pornophiliax the Dung Elf Bastard Lunatic here. I’ve really got no clue what I’m doing, but I guess I’m doing it well . . . I just killed a Girl Scout. I guess I missed giving myself a motto when I “rolled” my character up. Whatever. Weird. ---
