Decimal places eh? Now why didn't I think about that? Oh wait, don't bother to answer that question.

I was just beginning to wonder if it was because I beat Diamond in that impromptu dance contest a while back, and thus I was awarded the higher place due to those extra talents. But your suggestion mark, is possibly more sensible.

As always BW you amaze and delight. I am not a math whiz but I think I get the gist of the current system.

I really must work to move up the list however!

I have no recollection of this. Perhaps the shame prompted me to suppress the memory?

Maybe I imagined it. It seemed to fit right into the little question I had earlier but (though the Wight has yet to confirm this) the following reasoning seemed acceptable.

As I recall we were both very good, but, thanks to a disputed call by the Russian officials, I was awarded the win.

Well there are three other ties - Although it is almost a pity that Davem and Fordim aren't one of them... I do always have a quick look and see "who is the leader at this point" in the input rep stakes..

Being at the top of one list not good enough for you, eh, Fordim?

The BW, I agree with everyone, brilliant idea on this recent thread. I pity you for having to figure out everyone, I want to ask one thing, if it's not too much trouble. Is there a way the people not on the Top 20 could view their own reputation giving, to see where we stand? Like is it in our User CP, or what not. And if not, don't bother, I was just wondering, thanks.

There were no ties. The numbers you see are indeed rounded numbers, because the actual results of the formula resulted in a lot of numbers behind the decimal point. Once you get behind the top twenty, the differences between places become less and less, so that they are finally only a thousandth or a tenthousandth apart. For example, The difference between 40th place and 41st was only .0006.

I didn't actually have to do the figuring. All I did was create a small script that would read all reputations into a table, which I cut and pasted into an Excel spreadsheet. Then I created the forumulas and Excel did the rest. There is no way for you to look up your own result to this formula. Sorry.
