another race to the big O, eh... then I bid you a good and cheerful decent!

if that's not really an ascent...?

surprisingly enough, the more i MB, the more points i'm earning! for a lvl 18 MB (85pts) i get between 175-250 return. . .

I can see that. I've always gotten nice dividends from MB's but I've also seen so much variation with others I never know...

yeah. ive been picky about my MB, but now im working back from my first bump. all MB'd

its quite nice, jumped about 8k

geez, 16000 bumps...

sometimes if when people sign on to t61 if they aren't randomly selected to for a behavioral point reward system...

that has crossed my mind as well . . .

Maybe for some MB is rewarded and for others it's penaliized or rewarded and penalized under distinct circumstances for their variation.

MB was a for instance for that theory.

hm

So each person not only has to 'play the game' they have to figure out what works for their variation. Thus no group of the same variation

likely to form and cooperate to figure it out and excel beyond the average.

that would be rad. although i'm doubtful the algorithm used has that level of attention to detail

I'm doubtful, also but it definitely doesn't treat all people the same. I've seen higher level listeners earn more off a later bump than a

lower level listener who had an earlier bump days later, which is counterintuitive to the conventional wisdom...

I've also see the scenario played out in line with the conventional wisdom..

It's a quirky system.

true. . .

its all very true . .
