Lol so I get screwed for being active?? Shouldn't we be givin a gift or something for being active??

[xx - Team GAP]

unfortunately.. no... the more active you are the more screwed you get... its how it works since sandmen wants to give non posters more of a chance.. but i'd love to agree with you bulldozers...

[The Sandmen]

You don't get screwed, you get more points. That is your reward for posting more. And it is backed up by concrete mathematics proving that even with more restrictions, more active posters still get 2-3 times as many points as inactive posters with lower post counts. Not sure why the special needs section of this site cannot understand basic math, but I guess that is why we call them the special needs section of this site.

I got a 50 in math............Anyways making our post count higher takes away the more points that we get for being active. We should be rewarded for being active not punished.

[The Sandmen]

You are rewarded...you post more, and get more points than people who are unable to be as active. If math is not your strong point, trust someone else who is strong in math. We did the math. Even at 100 PPP, the top posters still earned many many more points than the people at 25 PPP.

If you look at any videogame where you create or level up someone or something, the law of diminishing returns applies. Simply put, the more of something you get, the more expensive it becomes.

And with that, you are still better than things that are a lower level than you.

Ok so I'll just stop posting and become a 1 post per week kinda guy then.

[The Sandmen]

You weren't kidding about the 50 in math. Though I assumed if I simplified it to "IF YOU POST MORE, YOU GET MORE POINTS" you would understand.

I was being dramatic................... I can do the basic math shit just none of that algebra shit that we have to do in all of high school.

[The Sandmen]

When we broke it down to points earned per season, the high posters still got about 3-4 points for every 1 point the low posters did. When you go from high posting to low posting, that's when you hurt yourself (see Camp Cannon for more on that).

When you get punished for being active it's kinda stupid.

[The Sandmen]

K, so more of that "I don't understand math" is coming through.

It's not a punishment if you get more points than everyone else. See how that works? "More" means you have an advantage. You like advantages, don't you?

[Deleted]

Getting a higher posts for points is a disadvantage.

[The Sandmen]

Not when your post ratio to those members is about 10:1 it isn't.
