What is the maximum amount of rank points? I figure it is 3000. Or, it is an infinite amount and no one has reaches 3000 yet.

So far, Oneiromancer has the highest amount of rank points: 2689 (A hefty amount if you ask me) His rank points will grow much after that, and I won't update this.

I would like to ask if this could be implemented, if not already done so, of 3000 RP is the maximum points.

I would like to ask, if it has not been already implemented, that the maximum number of rank points be 65535.

I'd suspect that the maximum amount of rankpoints is for all practical considerations limitless.

I'd like to ask that the minimum amount of rankpoints be -13.5. Thee .5 is so that whosoever shall reach this number shall ever after retain this unique postfix, regardless of future recoveries of rank.

Erik technically has more than me, as when he lost all of his rank points in that freak accident with the server while riding his bicycle, he was at over 1000 points. But he decided to start over again from 0 instead of wherever he was exactly.

If nobody would have hit that limit already, I would have suggested 1337, but since that's the case I suggest 31337.

Or 65535, of course.

I guess that's correct. I don't think they used a 32-bit Double Word for rank points and I also think that no one will ever reach 65535 rank points in a lifetime.

Well, Oneiromancer, you still have the highest visible standing at this second. However, I do believe that Erik has a while more than you. And so Erik is now in first place with the most rank points.

SCORE
------
1st Place: Erik Hermansan:----At least 2775 RP
2nd Place: Neil Federick:----Currently 2692 RP
3rd Place: Unknown Human:----Currently ???? RP

Based on the scores, I still think that maximum would be 3000. These high score people are Rank Point freaks that happen to be really good at gaining them. So far, these rank points may show that 4000 RP should be the max, as these people don't have far to go until they hit 3000.

Why do we want a maximum?

If someone can learn the maximum value that a PHP variable can hold, then you'll know what the maximum rank point value is. A fair guess would be 2,147,483,648 (2^31) but it is possible that PHP's loose typing value container allows 64-bit values. Or even values that are only constrained by the amount of memory available to store them.

Oh, but we also have to store the rank point value in the database. So that restricts things much more tightly. I would have to go look up the field type, but it is probably a long. So you could have about 2 million rank points if you're popular enough.

Rank points aren't distributed from a pool hence we won't run out of them ever and therefore there's no maximum individual limit...

I find it would be cool if you had the max amount of rank points. Wouldn't you?

4000 would be the maximum. However, you must master KDD, JTRH, TCB, and SS, to get higher. But there will be a true maximum. 65,535 RP will be the ultamite maximum.

Yep. It quite is. 2692 - 992 = 1700. Does anyone have 2500 moderation points?

"5 weeks? No, it will take much longer than that." Says the Negotator in Level 2 of JTRH.

And I say:
"2500 moderation points? No, it will take wayy much more than that."

Anyone have an estimate of how many MP it would actually take? Oh! I just thought of something!

CONTEST:


General-

Find someone with at least 3000 moderation points and see if they will do this for you! I know of one person that would do that.

Rules-

You can't find a moderator. They already have an infinite amount of moderation points. But that will be a wrongly conducted answer.

Prizes-

You will get one (1) rank point.



That, was a weird thing. I'm not sure why I came up of a contest with that, aside from the fact that I wanted to make it look good.

Can you win this contest?

So, does this mean that from now on, every time you get modded up you want someone to mod your post here down?

Better yet, keep your current 1700 rank points safe in its container and use a new container for any more you gain. Then whenever you gain more, take the server (but not your old rank point container) on a bike ride along railroad tracks and re-create the 2004 accident.

Or even better...

Okay, I'll zip it now.

I hope we can work something out soon to remove their surplus rank points. I think we're all pretty tired of them flaunting their wealth.

I just spoke to Schik and got my minimum and maximum ran point count set to 2244, which is an amusing number. Now no-one has to worry about rank points ever again.

Until it stops amusing me and I get him to set it to 'Apple'.
