Those were the original parameters when the forum was first set up but I have tweaked the settings a few times along the way.
The number of reputation votes that you can award daily is now = 2 and the reputation spread is 20. These parameters have been in place for at least 6 months.
Boss, you failed MATHS in school is it? Your theory of 1 week thereabout will never happen.
So, like this:
One week duration: 2 daily x 7 = 14, so we still outflanked by 6, which is 3 more days. Meaning, 10 days in theory. But since you can't give more than twice daily, the 1st day after giving to A, one can give only 1 more pt to someone. Hence it overflows to 11 days before you can return to A.
By then, his great posts which you want to give pts would be buried in heaps of other threads. So, in theory, it's closer to 2 weeks instead of over-optimistic to say it's 1 week thereabout, because who will be able to find so many posts worth to humtum or worth to support in 1 or 2 weeks, right boss? LOL.
I think as long as one has 1,000 pts, it's quite impossible to knock it down to 700, even with a mob, for there is no mob here but all are clones, from what I know. But you're right, it may be possible if the mob consists of high rep nicks, so I conclude this is a game for high rep nicks, not for ordinary members. See, I don't even have any power, even with 79 pts, so I can humtum or support for all I can, but zero power means no effect.
I also fail MATHS, but not that bad as you. I at least pass economics at JC level.
