Power

Karma and Power are two related aspects of E-hentai. Karma acts as a reputation system and power as a modifier for various functions involving the galleries.

Power

Power is calculated using the following factors:

• All users start with 1 Power
• For each day you have been registered, you gain 2/73 Power
• For each forum post you make, you gain 1/500 Power
• For each level in Henjutsu you have, you gain 1/3 Power
• For each level in Power Tank you train, you gain 1/2 Power (capped at 10 Power for 20/20 Power Tank)

The total Power above is multiplied by a Karma Factor depending on your Karma Level (see below). Each level above 7 increases this factor by 1/6.

All Auras and most Awards also give an additional multiplier to Power. Their combined effects are additive, not multiplicative. The base Aura multiplier is 1.

Aura	Multiplier	Maximum
Primary (7)	0.07	0.49
Spectral		1.27
Rainbow	0.77
Black	0.25
White	0.25
Metallic1		3.00
Catgirl	3.00
Septuastar	2.50
Quintstar	2.00
Tristar	1.50
Gold	1.00
Silver	0.50
Bronze	0.25
Awards		2.20
Cookie	0.20
2008 Awards		1.00
Twin Jewel of Awesomeness	1.00
Dull Jewel of Almostness	0.50
2009 Awards		1.00
Yellow Crystal of Win	1.00
Blue Crystal of Win	0.75
Purple Crystal of Win	0.50
Total		6.96

¹ - Only the best one counts.

Formula

(1 + days_registered / 36.5 + post_count / 500 + henjutsu_level / 3
+ power_tank_level / 2) * karma_factor * (1 + aura_multiplier) / 6

The total is then rounded downwards.

Example

A member registered 397 days ago, has 489 posts, a Henjutsu Level of 6, no Power Tank training, a Karma Level of 9 and no auras. Their Power is:

[(1 + 397 / 36.5 + 489 / 500 + 6 / 3 + 0 / 2) * (9 - 1) * 1 / 6] ~= 19.8

This is then rounded down to give a final result of 19 Power. If they get all 7 Primary Auras, the Aura multiplier becomes 1.49, resulting in 29 Power.

If they also donated enough money for a Silver Aura as their best Metallic Aura and won a Cookie in the yearly lottery, the Aura multiplier would then become 2.19 instead, resulting in 43 Power.

HentaiVerse

Every 7 Power increases a player's base Spirit Points by 1.

Mod Power

Power affects one's ability to vote more strongly on Gallery Tagging, Gallery Ratings, Gallery Comments, and on gallery petitions for Renaming and Expunging. Mod Power is capped at 100.

The amount of Power needed to achieve a certain amount of Mod Power is as follows:^(Ref)

Karma System

Karma Imbuements

In order to imbue someone with Karma, click on either Karma button shown on the figure above. The user you imbue will receive Karma points equal to your current Power or 1000, whichever is lower. After penalties and boosts are applied (see below), the final result is rounded to the nearest integer.

Each time you imbue someone with Karma, your Karma Power will temporarily be drained (this has no effect on your actual Power). Karma Power regenerates at a rate of 0.5% per minute and it will never drop below 1.

Limits

• The maximum amount of karma you may imbue is 1000, regardless of your maximum power.
• You may only imbue the same person with karma once every 72 hours.
• Repeated imbues between the same people will hurt both of them. Whenever you imbue someone, one level of Karmic Exhaustion is added to both sides. KE starts at 15% and reduces imbued karma by 3% per level down to a minimum of 1%.
• KE levels wear off one at a time : on their own every 30 days and actively through imbues made within a reasonable time frame (5 monthly imbues = 6 days ?).
• New users are unable to imbue karma until they have posted. They must also post at least once to receive karma.
• You cannot imbue someone if their post count did not change since you last imbued them.
• Your karma bar will not be visible until you have received karma from another user, although you may imbue others beforehand.

Boosts

The amount of Karma received from imbuements can be boosted via Karma Amplifier Training (1% per rank, 100% maximum) and Hath Perks (25% per rank, 100% maximum). These boosts stack multiplicatively (400% maximum).

Karma Level Prerequisites & Karma Titles

Green pips overlap grayscale ones and turn into red stars afterwards. The karma required per level increases exponentially by a factor of approximately 1.7793835.

(Levels lower than 7 are not shown since active users can no longer achieve them due to negative karma being disabled.)

How To Make A K+ Link

To make a karma link, which allows imbues outside of a thread, place the following in your forum signature :

[url=http://e-hentai.org/dmspublic/karma.php?u={USER}&k=p]{TEXT}[/url]

• Replace {USER} with a forum ID (found by clicking the username in a post or by clicking your own name at the top next to the "Logged in as" text).
• Replace {TEXT} with whatever text you want the link to have (e.g. K+, Thank You!)

The URL itself may also be used in your browser to imbue another user for contributions that were made outside of the forum. The thread column for that imbue will then remain empty on the user's karma log.
