Hmm. Must have missed that one. Thanks.

Does rep power increase with ppst count at all?

[Xenocidius]

Yes. One extra rep point for each post.

Why doesn't the forum coding throw an error for the reason that it has a common forum-join-date (4.28.12 or something I think). Actually, disregard that part about a common date. The forum, when transferring data to connect one's account from the old forum, does not realize that the dates of most posts are from before the joining date. Why doesn't this cause it to throw an error? Why not set the earliest posting date as the joining date?

It doesn't throw an error because ... I guess it doesn't need to. Having a registration date after your first post doesn't cause any technical conflicts, and it's impossible without external database modification (such as what the account recovery tool does). I have been considering changing joining dates for everyone to first posting date.

How come an unupped wyrm that has epi and either dived or sky blitzed would do 6+3+3+3 damage while a ruby dragon that has epi and sky blitzed only does 30 instead of 35 damage?

[thispersonisagenius]

At a certain point, adrenaline doesn't have an effect anymore (I think the attack number is 17 in order for adrenaline not to provide any more attacks).

[furballdn]

Yes, but if that is the case, then why does the wyrm still get 4 hits? A dived wyrm still has 4 attacks since it's attack is treated as 3, but why does a ruby dragon with epi and sky blitz only get one?

Seems like it's a case of nullifying Adren once a creature goes over 15 attack. Blitz an Epi'd Massive Dragon and it probably works the same.

[Tirear]

Adrenaline seems to run its calculations each time it attacks, and determines whether or not to continue based on its attack and how many attacks it has already made. In the case with the wyrm, a creature with 6 attack should attack 3 times, and it has attacked once, so it will attack again. On the second attack, its attack is now 3, so it should get four attacks and has attacked twice, so it will attack again.  On the third attack, its attack is now 3, so it should get four attacks and has attacked three times, so it will attack again. In the case with the dragon, on its first attack it has 30 attack, so it should only get one attack, and it has attacked once, so it does not attack again.

In other words, adrenaline does not notice that the attack has been reduced until the second attack happens, and creatures with 30 attack do not get a second attack.

Similarly, when you combine acceleration and adrenaline, the final attack will sometimes be made with a higher attack score than normal to receive that many attacks, because the decision was based on how much attack it had on the previous attack.

If I play the following cards:

Silurian Dragon (13/4)
Epinephrine on said dragon
Sky Blitz  (26/4 dragon)

How much damage will my attack do?  i.e. will the epinephrine look at the 26 attack (and thus I attack 1 time for 26) or will it see the 13 attack after the first 26 damage is dealt and attack again?

I think it'll just attack once. Main reason my SoFrepi OTK didn't work. A ruby dragon with epi and sky blitz only hits once.
