Downloading a table to Excel proved really handy!

I noticed that there was a repeating value in the Points to Next Level column of the Reputation Levels table, starting around Level 500. (It should go up by 50 each level.)  I questioned whether the table even needed to go so high. The Best Player shown in my game is around level 378. Therefore, cutting it off at level 500 seemed reasonable to me, especially as the levels approach Unobtainium levels. I asked Only8 to make a copy of the page to The Graveyard before I made the huge cut.

Removing 500 rows was easy. Scanning for errors was not so easy. I saw a couple. After I saved my edit, I copied the 500 rows to Excel. I did some check calculations and found a number of places where there was an error, some from transposing two digits and some were just bad math. Fixing the values in Excel and then making the same correction in the Editor was a good approach.

I just wanted to document what I did, and why.
