==Getting to the top 100==
Carathorn used to only play Agent and Special Agent. Therefore some of his Perfect Agent times were a disaster. In September 2006 he decided to improve some of these 20+ minutes times, which has improven his total time with more than an hour. By the time all these 'disasters-times' were gone, Carathorn managed to get into the top 100 time rankings, by an impressive ''Maian SOS Perfect Agent 2:45'' <br>
Carathorn used to only play Agent and Special Agent during the years he had owned [[Perfect Dark]]. Therefore some of his Perfect Agent times were a disaster. In September 2006 he decided to improve some of these 20+ minutes times, as the only way to really improve in the Perfect Dark rankings was to play this difficulty. By doing this, he has improven his total time with more than an hour. By the time all these 'disasters-times' were gone, Carathorn managed to get into the top 100 time rankings, by completing ''Maian SOS Perfect Agent'' in 2:45. This achievement was done on November 9th 2006. Almost 4 months later, on March 7th, Carathorn managed to get into the top 100 in points as well.
Carathorn is still steadily gaining ranks. He has yet to enter the top 100 in points though.
