  • Post Stats?

    What's with the post stats in member's profiles? (I don't seem to remember that field)

      Mark wanted to bring some geekiness in.

      It was originally put in the profile next to people's posts. There is a thread about it kicking around somewhere. Big one too, about 5 pages long.

        Ack... how did I miss this? (Probably has something to do with those 6 days when I didn't use the Internet in Rome/Paris)

          You are not the first one to ask. There's a huge thread (currently 15 pages) about this topic (http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showt...threadid=52631), but it contains only some answers. Clarifications are obviously desperately needed, but as I and apparently also others don't know the answers, nobody submitted any explanations to the FAQ, yet (or did I miss something?).

            I looked at the explanations early in the thread but most seem to address stats that don't exist

                  That's why I said it should be in the FAQ. Sorry, I can't answer your question, because the explanations in the thread are unclear/incomplete.

                    Yeah... I got the A and the HP part, but the other two are a complete mystery

                        That has somehow to do with how long you've been registered and how much you posted in that time. But I don't know more specifics.
                        Mark, care to give us some info?

                          Don't expect an answer, he's being cagey about specifics for some reason

                            Somewhere someone made a graph explaining it. If you really care, other web sites use a statistic system. They might have an explaination.

                              Victor that's because the stats used to be D&D like until Markos made them civ-esque.
