5k Blams!! :)

Here's a dumb question for you....

Instead of sorting through the 1700-some odd posts, can someone tell me WHY we only get 2 EXP per vote? And is there a way to earn extra exp on top of voting?

Thanks.

You get 2 exp points per vote because you only get 10 points a day and you have to vote on 5 movies to get 10 points. If you do the math 10 divided by 5 is 2.

Now for my next milestone passed I am now 1111 in EXP not really a big deal though >_<

You don't get 2 exp a vote. You get 10 experience points a day, by voting on 5 Flashes and depositing.

It's 10 a day because it's a nice, round number. That simple.

And is there a way to earn extra exp on top of voting?

Once you've signed up and created a profile, there are no other ways to get experience points, which means you can only get 10 points a day.

Boy... So ten a day... and I've got like 950 points to go before level 10... So 95 days later I'll be level 10?? Seems hardly worth it.

You are wrong there. When once you get to level 9 the EXP you need to get is on a sliding scale so by the time 95 days pass you will need more exp to get to level 10. as you level up even more you will need even more exp and the sliding scale will be even higher then the last level.

Define "sliding scale". Does that mean my EXP goes down over time?

No, there's not (anymore).

No, it doesn't; however, the requirements for the various levels slowly go up. If you deposit every day, you'll never actually lose a level (at least not once you have reached it for good), but reaching higher levels will become more and more difficult. See http://planetbob.net/ng/ngxp.php .

On a side note, there's many people who think that this system is ridiculously broken and that it should be changed - not only because it discourages people from keeping on depositing after they reach level 9, but also because it's unfair that a small number of folks get a big bonus in terms of XP (= level = VP) simply because they were here when the XP/level system was still very young.

I'm one of those who've been complaining, myself, and I've been making suggestions on how to change the system, too, but so far, no change seems to be in sight. Oh well.

Just gotta ticket for the biggest Irish festival this year, Oxegen, It will be mental and will mean I will miss my depositing, but It ain't till July so I'll be like level 23 by then

I guess that anything where one person can be on top and make it harder for anyone else just by getting more points would make any system broken. Even without the bonus the few people got when it was possible to get it people would still be complaining because of the increases.

The changes will evenually happen just not right away I just hope I can get to atleast the next level before the changes do happen but I highly doubt it though.

6,000 exp :)

Aye, it is. I don't mind working five years for something that someone else worked for five years, too; that's not unfair, but when I have to work for five years that they worked for 6 months, and if what they got after five years is something I'll basically NEVER have, then I think the system is broken indeed, yes. >_>

Of course, if higher levels didn't come with an increase in VP, I would be more likely to just say "eh, it doesn't matter all that much". I'd still be annoyed, but less annoyed than I am now...

The changes will evenually happen just not right away I just hope I can get to atleast the next level before the changes do happen but I highly doubt it though.

Yeah... who knows, that might be difficult. I'm still wondering whether I'll be able to reach level 16 before the new levels, myself; it should take less than four weeks now, but who knows for how much longer the redesign will be delayed. :P

I'm on my break from work again, and this stupid computer doesn't have flash installed so I can't vote on movies, so no exp >:(

I'll make a list later when I get home

You're 60 behind me, so missin like 4 days will still make me a head ;p

Yes, Shanus <3's the emo *Sacrasm*, and I have many a plan for what I'm goin to do while MCR are on stage

Well on fridays I do alot of travelling, and the weekends I work pretty much till the night. The week days are my main point givin days, but this also means if it's slow, I got relatively no points, I've been hovering over 25 B/P per day for about a week now, it's so unfair

Congrats to:

HouseMasta - 5000 blams

Simple explanation really.

Well, considering my own target would be 1,000 reviews... maybe it's best if you looked above and read those comments ;)

Which exactly?

The fact that it was Imacow, rather then MadCow...

Why not? It's how it has been for a fair few years now. There is no other way to earn experience.

At 3/2/07 03:51 PM, Eyseicle wrote: Define "sliding scale". Does that mean my EXP goes down over time?

The gap between levels will increase exponentially over time, as the level 30 user deposits expereince. The gap only increases a small amount each day for level 9-10, but the gap for higher levels gets bigger, quicker. A missed depsoit can set you back three or four days at my level and 3 or 4 weeks at level 25+

Neat, I had a short day yesterday, but I still managed to make over 30. Maybe the drought is over for now *statwhores*
