trying to figure out how the xp changed

[last thunder]

im trying to calculate why some people got more xp when levelling was altered yesterday and i will be putting my theories here

my first idea is that maybe the bot took your level from mee6 and your message history from the last few months and calculated how much xp you would have, which is why beanut would gain less than a level, and i would gain 11

beanut has sent 4 messages in the last 2 months, and i have sent roughly 8k

if the bot just calculated the xp differently, then beanut and i would have gained xp at the same rate from our level at the time

so it wouldve looked like this: L*X (L being the user's level and X being the amount that the xp is multiplied)

but instead i gained 11 levels and beanut gained less than 1

so it might look something like this:

[L+M]*X (M being messages sent recently)

now obviously M wouldnt be exactly equal to the recent messages, because i would be a lot higher levelled if that was the case

who asked?

[last thunder]

subject 1: beanut

[last thunder]

science asked

[sinful hill]

I got more-

[last thunder]

now leave me to my calculations

[sinful hill]

science can fall down and die

smh

HAHAHA

[grand shoal]

💀

[last thunder]

messages sent in last 2 months: 4 (1 ignored)

[sinful hill]

Lin is such a fucking dumbass

bro

[last thunder]

subject 2: linguini

[sinful hill]

the xp just bugged out

I dont think there's a reason

this is just wasteless math

[last thunder]

messages sent in last 2 months: 8k (most likely at least 4k ignored)

[last thunder]

please go away

it might have bugged out but i dont think thats the case

[sinful hill]

I really doubt it had a reason

if anything

they might have had to convert the data and it screwed up due to bot error

[last thunder]

well then im trying to figure out the error

[sinful hill]

nerd emoji

[last thunder]

cry about it

[sinful hill]

Im not

I'll help ya tho

I got nothing else to do

[last thunder]

subject 3: katil

messages sent in the last 2 months: 6k (most likely at least 2-3k can be ignored)

[last thunder]

you can give feedback in a bit

lemme brainstorm on this for a little while tho

[sinful hill]

lol alr

[last thunder]

wait holy shit i just found something

[sinful hill]

hm

wut

[last thunder]

subject 4: Def_UnhingedFR!?

(just realized thats tem)

[sinful hill]

lol

[last thunder]

they actually lost xp after the switch

[sinful hill]

maybe they took some xp from some and gave it to others accidently

[last thunder]

96 messages in the last 2 months (roughly 50 can be ignored)

[last thunder]

i dont think that would happen

they did it with a computer

and computers rely on math

so theres math behind it

[sinful hill]

yeah

but its also a discord bot

so someone did something with it

we dont know if the bots perfect

[last thunder]

yeah they arent

but they rely on math

but in the end

they use math to determine how the xp is calculated

[fervent crypt]

How does one even check their previous xp?

[last thunder]

there's a leaderboard, i have the link if you're interested

no longer accessible

[fervent crypt]

Ooh yeye

[fervent crypt]

Ah I see

[last thunder]

like you can get to it through the link

idk for how much longer tho

but you can't get any more links from the server

[fervent crypt]

Oh dang

[last thunder]

i'll dm you it

if you're cool with that

[fervent crypt]

Ye

I don’t mind

[last thunder]

theory 2: the box

test subjects linguini and katil both have the box, which gives 1.5x xp with the large subscription

both received substantial increases to their levels when the levelling change was made

roughly 11 levels each

[sinful hill]

literally favoritism

I swear

[fervent crypt]

Pay to win /j

[last thunder]

test subject 5: jade

[last thunder]

/srs it literally is

[fervent crypt]

TF HOW MUCH LEVELS IS THAT

[last thunder]

14

roughly

[fervent crypt]

GHAT DAMN

But xp amount to level up does increase exponentially

[last thunder]

500 messages sent in the last 2 months (250 can be ignored)

box increase 1.2x

test subject 6: lilith

messages sent in the last 2 months: 18,000

(9000 of which can be ignored)

no box multiplier

16 levels gained with the levelling change

100% of liliths messages are in the last 2 months

which is more proof of the recent messages giving more xp

the formula so far: [L+(M➗ 2)]*X

i had to use the divide emoji idk what else to use

no

im figuring it out myself

recording the old leaderboard in case it gets deleted

for future reference

malding?

[spiral crescent]

H u h

What's this place

[last thunder]

math'

[spiral crescent]

What am I doing here

[fervent crypt]

Calculating how the xp boost works

[last thunder]

read from the top if you would like

[spiral crescent]

Bruh I'm literally in math class rn 😭

[fervent crypt]

Oop more math

[sinful hill]

Im forcing you to watch Lin be a nerd emoji

[last thunder]

this math is more important

[warm adder]

I went from somewhere around 33 levels to 37 levels! it's quite strange, but I'm always open to some help I guess!

[last thunder]

yeah same lmao

i got 11 levels

[forest idol]

You can use the / symbol it represents division in algebra

[last thunder]

oh thanks

[sinful hill]

[proven kernel]

I can answer this easily. The day this was announced was not the day that levels were transferred. The new leveling system was running in the background for quite some time.

Beanut is largely inactive, so when the levels transferred over, it was a direct transfer. And beanut didn't speak, so there was no increase to their levels.

However, other users did chat, and that is why their levels were higher in some places than others. There is no science behind it, really. The leveling system was simply running in the background for quite some time and others gained levels without knowing it until we announced it.

[last thunder]

that makes complete sense
