F-Zero: Maximum Velocity Update Logan West
New Members: ............Uh, New members ?? ?? ?? ?.........First page.........Second page.........Third page........Last page........ Ah! Nabil Copty (209th Pawn D)! Welcome! You get special honour this week!
King: What did I tell you? Leandro Ribeiro (3rd, King A) moves up from fourth with a big surprise! He is now the fastest lap champ! also the first to break 6'50" and gives us three new Track World Records. Now this is unbelievable. After improving nearly all of his times, Kalle Videkull (6th, King A) moves up from 15th! That's nine places, which at this stage is a pretty big accomplishment. Nick Harsh (8th, King B) was active, as was Richard Corrigan (11th, King B) who moves up three, and Clement Leung (14th, King C) who moves up two, Fred Just (22nd, King D), who's close to moving up another place.....and Dave Crawford (24th, King D) who does the "twist" this week (bad pun I know).
Expert/Bishop: Mickael Girard (54th, Expert A) gains five places and has a very nice blue-tinted page, Gregg Richardson (85th, Bishop B) rises fifteen positions,
Knight: Thomas Freeman (115th, Knight C) moves one, and wow! Julien Holmi鑽e (117th, Knight D) jumps 53 places if my math is correct. Much in the tradition of another Holmi鑽e eh? Matthew P. Collins (122nd, Knight D) gains 14 (with a 52nd ranked Pawn 2 time).
Pawn/Novice: Josh Johnson (148th, Pawn B) is one of three people holding 148th position  Jared Brockmeyer (157th, Pawn B) moves four up, Brodie Forbes (180th, Pawn C) performs well to move up 34 places, Alex Pitera (195th, Pawn C) gains seven, Panu Karhunen (196th, Pawn C) gains eleven Also active is David Scott Forbes (202nd, Pawn D).
250 members is drawing nearer........

I apologize for the lateness of this update, I would have done it yesterday but that I had some fingerprints that needed to be taken and such. Oh, and I'll get out on bail next week they tell me!
Just kidding

Hey Logan, is that the update for this week that I just submitted my times for last friday? Or is it just a super late update on last week? I was wondering because I submitted my times and was awaiting the day that the news would read "and Ryan Jenning makes a HUGE 100 place jump into 60th place and lands himself on the first page, congrats Ryan!"
Thanks in advance for informing me!
Ryan Jenning

Well see, I only get the information I need on Friday (when Dave updates).
This is how it all works: Through the week, you guys submit times (by the submit times feature on the rankings page, or by posting it on the board) and whichever way you do it, it ends up being posted on your topic for fast times. The deadline for times to be accepted it noon on Thursday.
Then the timekeepers enter the data into their spreadsheets and give them to Dave probably late Thursday or early Friday. Dave puts them all into the program, which updates all the times and arranges rankings etc.
Then the updated rankings come out usually on Friday. It's usually Friday or Saturday before I can review them and write up the report, then I send it to Dave (or post it on the board now), and Dave posts it on the main page. So usually the report is up by Saturday or Sunday.
This week I had some busy schedules and didn't write it up until today.
The way I get my information (and I'm almost ashamed ) is I go to the ranking pages, look for whoever is blue, and type their names up. Almost all of my info comes from just looking at the page, just like anyone else can do, only I do all the groundwork for you guys.
If you are not on the update, then it is most likely because you submitted your times after the 12:00 P.M. deadline on Thursday. This is Friday's report that I have posted here. And I'll be sure to make mention of you when you do make your leap

Hey I just noticed that I'm a moderator. Sheesh, I wish Dave would tell me these things. It makes me feel bad that I didn't work my way up in ranking like you fellows, though it doesn't make me feel bad enough to ask Dave to take away my new rank

Uh hum. Okay, gotcha in my memory bank!
I asked in another topic if you knew Sam Hughes. I've always been interested in the British, some people might even think I'm British, I've adopted certain spellings and I wish (Oh! How I wish) that the US would switch to Metric! It'd make all my calculations so much easier!
I've been accused of being a Tory, but well, that WAS quite some time ago

It just always made sense to me to spell things like that with a "U" Colour Saviour Valour Honour Palour Victour (whoops, how'd that get in there )

I sent you an e-mail regarding that about 10 minutes before you wrote this. I'm on the job.

Yes I saw that, thanks. And I was only joking, it really is quite an honour to be a moderator. I'll have to be careful not to abuse my powers though. I realize I've been given that rank so I can put sticky icons on the news. Heh, as long as I don't abuse my power (sticky topic on everything)
