Do they take consideration the number of threads that a forum has?

It is not believed to, directly. The formula as spaded during testing showed it was based on damage totals (to you and to the forum) and number of turns, so indirectly the number of threads can factor in in a number of ways.

so basically for speedrunning/the current equivalent of, we still have to think about thread numbers.

it’d be nice if the forum can display the number of threads it currently has before I enter the forum. That means next to the link in job board and in bookmarks.

not necessarily… with more threads you also do more damage so it kinda evens out. at one point, I held most fans for a camwhore on one of my forums with 8 threads when everyone else had 7.

The formula is:

Fans gained = floor((damage dealt – damage taken)/number of turns)

Damage taken… I wonder if healing is taken into account- as in ‘I took 100 damage but healed 100 damage’. Did I just take 100 and waste a turn healing/popping a pill, or did I just take zero?

“Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn’t believing. It’s where belief stops, because it isn’t needed any more.”

It’s not.

Some people in the test squad already figured out those forums.

Well, ET has apparently changed some sensitivities, so all data collected on the test server is more or less worthless.

The data is not worthless. It is a testament to the obsessiveness and lack of foresight, as well as the reading comprehension of those members of our society.

I don’t know. I think I might sacrifice my streak and 12 visits saved from last round to grind that forum and try to get the peen when it’s easily obtainable. I even planned to explore forums with my army of alts to find out which forums give the most fans but I guess there’s no need to do that anymore.

Everyone should have expected it. Unless I don’t remember things correctly, Evil Trout posted that the sensitivities would change when it goes live.

Yeah, I think he did.

quangntenemy Posted:

Agreed. That put me in troubles at first but now thanks to your discovery I know exactly which forums to grind in order to get that epeen.

Good luck Log in to see images!

Strangely, on the test server I was getting ~60k in deliveries for my ~2k fans, but on this server I’m getting ~60k deliveries for my 16k fans in spite of my much higher charisma and luck.

Are level 18 characters at an advantage when it comes to deliveries now? o.0

Charisma and Luck max out. Maybe you hit those maxes on the test server?

Also I don’t see how this is on topic.
