CLEAR CONDITION - Reach +256HP
RULES
Learn a new skill. This skill must have a relatively difficult learning curve and must be one you have never seriously done before.
Post results regularly onto different platforms. Your HP starts at 128/256 and is updated as follows at the time of a post based on the performance of the preceding two posts (π« means change):
π«HP = 4 β ln(π«V) + 4(PC - 8 β NC) + 2 β ln(π«IM) + 4 β ln(π«H) + ln(R). HPX = Net HP after all non-final calculations.
V = Average net vote count by subreddit (Reddit only)
PC = Number of positive comments combined (Neutral is neither +/-)
NC = Number of negative comments combined (Criticism is excluded from this category unless it involves actual insults. However negative overrides positive)
IM = Average views/impressions on other SM platforms (excluding Discord and Reddit)
H = Likes on SM platforms excluding Reddit but including Discord
R = Reactions (Discord, etc.)
Change is measured from N - 2 to N - 1.
Deleting the post voluntarily - HP = HP - 64 β | Mods delete for negative reason - HP = β MIN(HPX, 32)
Reason is low effort - HP = MIN(HPX, 0) β | Causes a ban - HP = -4096
Actions with a β are applied after all other calculations. If applying this action results in a score outside the bounds then the effect is nullified.
Posts in succession (e.g. progress pics) should have their final score changes divided by the series length. For example if normally a sketch increases by 15, the coloring by 4, and then the final result by 8, the net change would be 27/3 = 9HP.
Your HP measures between 0 and 256. Going outside the bounds ends the game.
All posts should roughly be done at the same time across platforms. If something is not applicable (e.g. you donβt post on Reddit) then its value in the formula is 0 (in this case the number of upvotes is preserved). You should make note of this exception each time it occurs.
