Sorry for reviving this old topic but I think SirPleb's new record GRP score of 483.980 deserves some mentioning! This means he's averaging a whopping 96.7% of the best score! 
Awesome results!

I also notified this but did't know where to write.
Now I grew to 3-d place
and only unsubmitted GOTM33 pull me down.

It kinda looks like I have reached the end of the line. Only one direction to go from here, and it certainly isn't up. Not only is there a big knight with a scary sword in the way, but enemies are approaching rather dynamically from behind!

Don't be despondent bradleyfeanor! You play very well and fortune is very changeable.

Well, me is also fluctuating from number 2 to number 10 due to missing 2 games in a row.
SirPleb's consistency is quite noteworthy! The only hope that mere mortals have of reaching the top spot is if SirPleb hears the siren call of the HOF again! (Maybe to go Beyond Beyond-Sid )
To reach the lofty heights of a Top-10 spot will require consistent submittals of just over 80% average (based on Akots score).

Your modesty was noticed before, after your BC won in COTM5, if I am not mistaken
But c'mon, even if you doubt that you can beat the teacher, he sometimes also skips games.
I will use the opportunity to say that I aslo very happy with fluctuations, for a first time I got in top 20.

That quote is from back in October. Now it is up to 354 points! I am guessing that the rise will start to taper off now that the dual games (best score of CoTM/GoTM) have run the length of the table.
To "he who lives by the big salty lake": Congrats on making the top 20!
It's pretty easy for me to be "modest." Even though I put everything I have into some of these games--taking a VERY long time and debating the action of every little worker--I usually get beaten (not one gold medal!), and often by someone who finished the game in 1/3 the time it took me.
SirPleb's ability to play a great game every single time amazes me. And Dynamic--I have beaten him to domination once and only once. And it was a distinct case of it being the first time he had ever played C3C.
He wasn't familiar with any of the changes and only learned them through the course of his game--and I still only finished a few turns before him!There are some very impressive newish players coming up also. MiniMe and A'Abarach spring to mind. MiniMe has set an insane research pace in the last few games, and I have yet to figure out how to match it.
Overall, the competition in GoTM is pretty amazing.
I only wish we could get more newbies to play and post. I suspect many people play the game but decide not to post in the spoilers. Maybe because they are still learning and are a bit intimidated by the games of the top players. They should post though, because there is no better way to learn than to post your game and then get advice from all the knowledgeable people in the forum. If it had not been for all the advice I have received in the last year, I wouldn't be anywhere near the top of the GPR table.

Congratulations Solenoozerec! It is very well deserved. You are in an extremely competitive postion: only 2.5 points separate all 4 of you guys. A margin that small could change over the tiniest of decisions, like whether to build another early granary or a library.
I'd like to congratulate Dynamic in this thread as well. A 98% result on average would be astounding under any circumstances, but he has managed to do it while also pursuing the eptathlon award. 
The guy has amazing skills.

Thank you, Bradleyfeanor! Now we have some other very good players, who can increase my score like you, klarius and hendrikszoon who now has not full 9 games stream, but has very strong results.
