I never bother with that stuff, but, the fact of the matter is that cookster neglected to read the rules. You cannot "bump" yourself into a milestone post.

Cookster... it's yours, technically, but, really, if you subvert the rules, it's rather shallow, innit? I suggest you award autolycus with an honourary 500 and strive to play a more fair game. It will be so much more rewarding upon true victory.

Remember, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look while playing the game.
