	Stupid question about profile Post stats Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

but since i'm stupid i need now some help.

I just looked at a profile for a poster and to my supprice there was a new line Posts Stats.

What does the info on the line mean?
My line is: A: 19 | D: 6 | M: 2 | HP: 43
So what am I?

Is this something from Dungeons & Dragons or?
How are the values calculated?

Didn't see the answer in FAQ, so have to ask it here

Actually, A/D/M stands for Attack/Defense/Movement.

Attack depends on your post count, and is a log function - the more attack you have, the more posts it will take to get to the next one.

Defense depends on how far are you from the average posts per day, that is, 5 posts per day. For instance, since I got over 5 posts a day, my Defense has the maximum factor of 99.

Hit Points is how far you need to go for the next Attack point. When you reach 100, your Attack increases, but HP goes to 0.

Movement, that's one I dunno yet. Markos, Ming?

lol, yeah, i was just checking my profile the other day as well, and got a bit of a shock and suprise by this line!! It's a cool touch, obviously relating each poster back to a civ unit in some way!

But an explanation would be welcome as to when this came in, why, and does it mean anything? (Do i get a free pizza when i hit 100 attack? )

It is here for a bit over a week now, and it came just to bring you guys some fun .

Oh, and you will have to get several dozen thousand posts for 100 attack, I think.

And the point of all this (apart from encouraging more spam) is?

It might seem very surprising, but this site is supposed to bring you people fun.

Really? In that case, why hasn't anyone banned Wiglaf?

I just didn't see that that could be considered 'fun'. Sad as I am, I can't see myself keep checking my stats and going 'ooh wow, I gained a level!'

Ah well. Obviously I don't have the hardcore RPG gamer mentality

Then spam. It will improve your hit points.

However spam too much and it will drop back down again. (PCR or level completion).

SD!

There was a 15-page thread in here active a few days ago about these new profile stats. If you're interested, hunt it down and read it.

I make it 42274 - that's about 3.5 dozen thousand. Though why anyone would count in dozen thousands is beyond me...
