Here's why you shouldn't steal user names!

[Piratecat]

Woot! CR 27!

 

[Grim]

hmmm... member number +3, coolness +0/+2 if im cool..
Yay CR 3-5!

But i like Darkness's system better, because then I'm CR 18-20 (depending on how cool i am...)

 

[mythusmage]

Old boards or new boards?

Hmm... a base value depending on Member number (i.e., CR 20 for members 1-50, CR 19 for 51-100, 18 for 101-151, etc., to a minimum of 1) + (post count/100) + 2 for Mods (or +4 for Admins) + bonus points for coolness (user name, sig, avatar, etc.) or something along these lines?

If the former is the case, then:

Member Number: 18
Post count: 3
Sig: (since I get to rate it) 4
Avatar: (ditto) 3
Username: 5
Evil High Priest of Dangerous Journeys:6
Demiurge: 3
Old Man of Gaming: 8
Total: 50

I can kick Elminster's butt!!! YES!!!!

 

[A2Z]

Hmm. CR 5. I'll have to work on that.

 

[graydoom]

Bah. My CR just dropped . I'm down to CR 5, though I'm nearly at CR 6 again.

Ah, but CR is calculated on a logrithmic scale, so it should be a base of ln (post count/25+1) + (3 / member number ^ .25).

Add +4 for moderator status and +6 for administrator status (admins are twice as powerful as mods). Cool name = +1 CR, cool sig = +1 CR, cool avatar = +1 CR; bad name = -0 CR, bad sig = -1 CR, bad avatar = -0 CR. Being cool in general = +1 CR.

Admins and mods are considered to be cool and have cool names automatically.

Using these guidelines for myself:
Base CR: 1.3
Name: +0 CR
Sig: +0 CR
Avatar: +0 CR
Cool: +0 CR
Total: CR 1 (round down)

Using the same guidelines for my alternate identity:
Base CR: 1.7
Name: +0 CR
Sig: +0 CR
Avatar: +1 CR
Cool: +0 CR
Total: CR 2 (round down)

Looks like I'm still a plebe...

 

[CRGreathouse]

At a guess, I'd put our CR below 1.

If you include Piratecat or Morrus, however, we're at least a 20.

No, our CR doesn't change with PC or Morrus - our EL changes.

Hmmm, not bad. I have a base Cr of 2.6, and I'll say +1 for a cool avatar. So I'm at least a CR of 3.6.

Also, admins are more than twice as powerful as mods. Admins have mod power on all forums, AND additional powers to ban people, AND, in some cases, actual access to the server!

I have to agree with graydoom here...

How do you know what your new member number is? I've seen a few folks refer to them, but I can't find where the got this information from.
