Is lurve growth linear, exponential, (god forbid) logrithimic, or what?

Asked by pikipupiba (1629points) March 2nd, 2010

I am almost to 1000 lurve! (yay!!!!)

So where is it going to go from here? Will it take me the same amount of time to get my second thousand lurve? Third thousand?

Will it grow faster as people befriend me or I start writing better questions/responses with more experience?

Will it start imitating a logarithmic function as people get pissed off by me and start avoiding/flagging/moderating me?

(it is in my experience that questions such as these generate quite a bit of lurve themselves, but just know that that is not my intention)

(adding that statement could also change how people feel about this question)

(its probably best if you ignore the rest of these little blurbs)

your mom

hehehe

I would say there’s not a path that suits everyone. It depends on how much time you spend over Fluther, the quality of your answers/questions and so on.

It gets a hell of a lot harder as time passes on. See, people can only give you a certain amount. No lurve from allie has been added to my score in a long time. I think it is a single person can only give you a hundred points that will go towards your score. So it gets really hard once you get up there.

it gets consistently harder to get your lurve score up.

I seem to get most of my lurve at around 8–900’s.

No, because there is a specific limit to the giving of lurve. It is limited based on the formula. After a jelly has given a specific amount of lurve to another, any more gifts will not increase their points. I can still give lurve on their answer, but it will not increase their score.

I personally find lurve orgasmic but I suspect that my eating pancakes figures into that equation somewhere. Lurve will come naturally the longer you’re on Fluther. Just relax, have a good time, meet great people, and stay involved.

It actually gets harder as you get higher in score, there being a limit on how much lurve one can give to another jelly. This is a wise policy, as other sites have cliques that exchange points ad infinitum. The Fluther system requires that your questions and answers have a more general appeal.

Another good point here is that the active moderation prevents debates from turning into mud-slinging contests and nasty feuds. Trolls have a very short half-life here.

It is excruciatingly difficult for me to get lurve right now. I need to go make some new friends to get lurve from or I’ll never reach 10K!
