Did you spread out over multiple forums?

http://www.forumwarz.com/help/me/34-i-pwned-12-forums-yesterday-why-were-my-deliveries-so-bad

Nope, I’m only grinding one forum and one forum only. From my ****-poor Delivery it looks like only the first time a forum is pwned each day counts toward the next day’s Delivery, so the data I’m getting is only the Delivery for pwning a forum once, and not just once but the first time I pwned it that day.

That might explain why sometimes I get 600K (for 6K fans) versus 500K for my normal 5K fans. I really should start recording those. Log in to see images!

100 charisma and 74 luck.

Also, I received way less junk (1 less zimbobwee at least). went down from 120k-150k down to 80k.

So pwning harder == more junk.

You could imply that the daily fan gain == more junk

But, so far, the TOTAL fans has nothing to do with junk. I still gain 2-3k fans (gain over 5k but lose about 3k daily) and still dont get more junk.

Unless, of course, the luck worn while pwning gains more fans and/or yields you more junk (contrary to the believe that wearing luck/char on rollover gains more junk).

I have always been under the impression that it worked like this:

1. Deliveries are calculated based on the total cred gained from pwning a forum (hence, higher level forums generally reward you with better deliveries), and have absolutely nothing to do with fans.

2. There is a delivery cap of ~600k flezz for each unique forum you pwn each day (streaks are not relevant).

3. Your Charisma and Luck at roll-over work as modifiers with the amount of cred earned per forum to raise the final delivery total (only up to the aforementioned cap, of course).

Thus, higher values of Charisma and Luck are more useful when you pwn low-level forums which do not give you much cred. The same levels of Charisma and Luck are less useful on high-level forums which give enough cred to result in near-max delivery values even before stat modification.

Level cap players don’t receive any cred though, we’re not even informed of how much cred was gained. I figure since fans are based on cred as well, they’d vary proportionally with the size of deliveries.

Just because we can’t see the cred values for pwning a forum doesn’t mean that the information isn’t being processed in the background. Fans have nothing to do with your cred; they are a representation of the average damage you deal to a forum’s threads, modified by total damage taken, and capped at 10,000 (i.e., if I deal 8000 damage per hit, it takes me 10 turns to pwn a forum, and I take a total of 20000 damage in those 10 turns, I will earn ((8000*10)-20000)/10 = 6000 fans).

I virtually always get 10,000 fans from the two forums I’m currently grinding for .moars, so thread count (and by extension, “cred earned” ) is the only meaningful variable left in examining the reasons for unstable delivery totals.

damage

derp

Yeah, I should probably look at “damage done” per thread. That wouldn’t be too much of a hbumle.
