The only reason I'm a gold king is because I've been around longer than nearly everybody on the list with the exception of firetail and carlie.
This is one problem I have with the AG3 point system. It's designed so that completely antisocial people can be #1, while the people with actual personalities never make it onto the list.
I don't see how this is the case, since the major feature of the system in AG3 will likely be karma, which can only be earned by having a good personality. At least I hope there will be no karma laundering...
Either way I like that it's a separate statistic from one's volume of output.
Coincidentally, I am the most recent person to reach Gold King/Queen. I know everyone on that list, and over half of them are inactive. I'm guessing only Alt will get in there, unless some people begin amassing AP at an accelerated rate.
Of the users ITT, Knight would probably know the most about who's active and who's not, do you have specifics?
I'd say, at the pace I'm going, I'd be there in a month or two. Unfortunately, AG3 will probably be out by then. I really want to get to wooden queen so that I can get the highest amount of starting points.
Getting gold king is extremely hard.... You need thousands of comments and post to achieve that.. and that shows who are true AG users, because the amount of time spent to get to gold King/queen.... it takes a loooong time
Sometimes banned accounts show up, but it's just a glitch. It's quite evident since his profile says he's number 5, but you won't find him in the leaderboard.
Sometimes there is something wrong with the cache and you can view banned profiles. A week ago I couldn't see his and now I can.
He is banned, there's a trick to see if someone is banned, but I'm not sure if I can tell it. He was banned for being underaged. I think he was 11 or 12.
Go look at the leader-board - you don't see him on there.
