Well it is official, I'm finally ranked 10:GOD. Reaching this at CLv122, about 1950 wins, and about 1050 hours of play.

Wow that took forever. I'm sure some of you have seen me around, my character is a HUmar named Apotheosis.

lol, hate to be harsh, but it's not like anyone cares anymore.
Congrats, and all, but.. you should have kept quiet, so you could say it was for the self pleasure of it. ;P

just how much meseta is requiered to reach god and the other ranks?

[Perfection_of_Mark]

Yeah, cg's and all, but that's what I'm wondering too. I'm about to hit the old King threshold of 100k, but I know I'm not turning to king at 100k, there are just too many lords ahead of me (i'm about 340:lord right now) for that to be the king barier. For instance, I had to hit 56k, not 50k, to become lord in the first place. Now, I know why this is done, so that we don't ever have a persons who's like 400:god, they want to reserve those ranks for the top 10 or so.

So, simply, anyone know the ammounts (approx.) of what it takes to be eash of the ranks, specificly lord to king?

Harsh? No that was rude and childish. If you don't care then simply don't post on it, easy enough? No need to flame my friend, be mature about it. Also, other people posted on it did they not? It seems you were wrong and that some people might care. Please, grow up. You are the one that needs to be quiet, or at least learn that people are free to post what they want as long as it is on topic and appropriate. You seem to have enough posts here, you should know that by now..

By the way, I'm not sure how much it takes now to hit LORD or KING but right now GOD is 570k because I am the requirement for GOD until I reach the 9th rank.

Don't take it personally. I think Skorpius is just saying people on EP3, for the most part, are not as concerned with rankings anymore.

I've played EP3 here and there, and there's just this general atmosphere of indifference throughout the game. It has rubbed off on me quite a bit, to tell you the truth. The F1 tourney may have killed EP3. Whether it was due to the tourney or not, EP3 sure slowed down since the event.

You seem to think I didn't understand his post, but I did. Take what personally? I didn't say tons of people care or that this was some huge step in the progress of the human race. I just told him not to tell me that I should keep it to myself when I can post it if I please.

In any case I had immense recognition for reaching the 10th spot on the game by many people online today. I don't care if most of you have never met me and would rather watch a snail cross the street. I never said I expected a party and gifts for reaching GOD either. I just wanted to post it so calm down and quit trying to defend him like I was really upset and have no clue what is going on. I was only saying my opinion to his statement. I also have friends that play nearly every single day and some can read it here that I reached GOD instead of finding out a week down the road. It doesn't matter if I take it personal or not, either way what I said is true about how he replied. This is a game is it not? Why should I even expect it to be the most popular thing since sliced bread, get a clue?

The only one who isn't calm in this thread is you.

And can I get some fries with that flamebait?

My opinion is that reach GOD is more bad than good.
Well the last GODs could be ok...
I really doubt the top 10th rank players play much games against humans. In my experience of the jp version, GOD players aren't really nice people. Dual GC, playing most of time in COM tourneys, using the most old&boring&cheap decks, etc.

You would think that wouldn't you. Well, I can't convince you otherwise but I will tell you the truth. The only reason I even played this game for this long and for this many tournaments and hours is because of my online friends that I have made. Some of them stem back from the Dreamcast days and that is what has made it so hard to leave them.

It is funny though, how people assume the horrible for the people who hit the GOD mark. I saw first hand people who didn't know me claiming I cheated or com bashed my way there, when in fact I did not. So yesterday I was just standing there, realizing that many of the people who knew for a fact I am by far the most human playing GOD player no longer play on Episode 3. I was lingering around the KING 15 position for over a month due to the fact of playing as many humans as I could and to be the best player with a good strategy and be a respectable player if I did hit GOD.

Once I was around 12:KING I did do some com bashing I admit, because it was sucking how I would play all day and still make less than some of the ranks lower than me and not be progressing to GOD. I will say this though. I swear on my soul that I joined an extreme amount of tournaments that had humans in them. Back when I was just a starting player, I absolutely despised playing the COM when there was so many friends I had to play with and team with. This went on for a very long time. I would even go as far as to say at LEAST 80% of my wins have come from joining human tournaments. Due to this fact my level remains fairly low in comparison to my wins. I see people around me with similar online and offline wins who have an online level 20, 30, even 40 or more levels higher because they have played on /B ships to com bash while I have been earning many 5 exp wins and some losses that drop me back from losing to human players.

Now I see that GOD is more of a position that people see and are either jealous, assume things that are not true, and rumors spread because of it. So I quit yesterday, I don't want to be part of that. Don't worry about seeing me or having to play me ever now because when I do play it will be on Ep1&2 with my friends. That is all.
