From the stats pages, you can see that we are outpacing DU by about a 3.5:1 ratio, and that Klutz does about 40% of the team's work. Even if he were knocked offline, our work rate would still be doubling theirs. Even though my position only hovers around #100 on this team, it would be in the top 40 (and climbing) on DU.
Not even 40%.... when I joined at Christmas, the team had about 80,000 pts, so I'm only accounting for about 20-25%, on an average. So even if they took away my points today, the FR folders would still be at 998,000, or at #335 in the position charts, or about 65 spots lower on the chart. but still way ahead of "that other team".
That's what the dummies don't realize, in judging how far they advance in 7, or 24 hrs, is the climb is SOOOOO much steeper at this point.
I just pour on a few more, to 1) keep me ahead of their team entirely.... ( which really has to chap their a**es) and 2) get the team over a few speedbumps. But it's the other 500+ cpu's, and all the other team members, that really keep us growing.
What's really telling, is that if all of us quit today, and started an entirely new team, we'd pass them up in about 30 days or less, starting over at zero. Without Klutz, it'd take about 45 days.
They are just not very good at doing the math. They're the type of folks, that will laugh at someone broken down by the side of the road, "hahaha... my car is faster than yours is"....
