This post is titled so as not to arouse arguments among all those who joined the "When will the next thread about Post Stats?" contest. Rest assured, I've read all of that thread. (BTW, all but 3 of you have now lost.)

Rather, this is to use the occasion of my transition to Emperor to document how that affects my Post Stats. (I know there's some sort of unwritten rule about not posting "I'm an Emperor now" just to get the needed +1, but the following documentation of the semi-mysterious Post Stats should be of sufficient interest to forestall the wrath of the gods.)

Whatever.

At 2,999 posts, my stats were:

A: 43 | D: 67 | M: 12 | HP: 3

I'll be back in a minute with how this post may have changed that...

[-Jrabbit]

Let me start by quoting:

These are dependent on your post count. A (attack) is based on how many posts you have. D (defense) is based on what your average posts-per-day is. M (movement) is based on the proportion of how long you have been registered to your post count. HP (hit points) shows how long it's till next A increase. When HP goes to 99, next increase, A increases by 1, and HP drops to 0.

At 3,000 posts, my stats are:

A: 43 | D: 67 | M: 12 | HP: 3

No change.

[-Jrabbit]

Not trying to push my luck, but it should be noted that...

At 3,001 posts, my stats are:

A: 43 | D: 67 | M: 12 | HP: 4

Hit points increased, nothing else changed.

Next time just paint a big red bullseye on yourself and shout "PCR me!".

Congratulations, Bunnyman!!

Considering how long you took for the last few dozen posts, I'd say you have little to fear in the way of a PCR. Maybe Ming and rah will require you to bring the supplies tonight. Oh, wait, don't you usually do that anyway??

Who really knows what that stuff means?? I think it's all an experiment wrapped inside an urban legend concealing a joke.

**LOL**

If -Jrabbit was one of the typical spammers... he would be a little toasty now... but he isn't. Anybody can confirm that by reviewing his posting history. And he does bring the beer on Friday nights to my place

I have no clue how the stats really work. Since I'm moving away from the highest possible level every time I post, my hit points suck as well

[Dauphin]

Should I feel indignant that you take bribes or that you afford nepotism.

[DrSpike]

It is expected for only your HP to move with such a small difference in posts. The title milestones have no bearing on the stats.

A, which is logarrithmically related to post count, will rise sooner or later to 44, but there is no reason to expect it to change on 3,000. D will stay the same if your ppd stays the same. M is only responsive to changes in ppd as well.

Anyway, stop contaminating the comp!

[Skanky Burns]

M should have changed though - 3 posts in a row.
This particularly would affect someone who is not a "typical spammer".

It's overall activity that is important. 3 posts in a row is unlikely to move M, since relatively large increases ppd are needed to move it.

[Last Conformist]

Does it consider recent ppd, or from the beginning?

[DrSpike]

I don't know how it works exactly but it requires large changes in overall ppd to move upwards by much. Obviously you can get this by, say, doubling your recent ppd as compared to historic ppd. Even then M doesn't go up a great deal.

Hey, that quote was my explanation post that I've been looking for myself to store down somewhere !
