Power

Power is a modifier for various functions involving the galleries. Karma was a modifier for it that has been recently removed.

Power

Power is calculated using the following factors:

Source	Power Gained
Initial amount	1
Days registered	2/73
Each forum post made	1/500?
Each level in Henjutsu	1/3
Power Tank training (max 20 ranks)	1/2

A user is considered 'active' if they have made at least one forum post on that day.

The total Power above is multiplied by a Karma Factor depending on a user's 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 Type	Aura	Multiplier	Maximum
Primary	Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet	0.07 ea	0.49
Spectral	Rainbow	0.77	1.27
	Black	0.25
	White	0.25
Metallic1	Catgirl	3.00	3.00
	Septuastar	2.50
	Quintstar	2.00
	Tristar	1.50
	Gold	1.00
	Silver	0.50
	Bronze	0.25
Awards	Cookie	0.20	2.20
	2008 Awards1
	Twin Jewel of Awesomeness	1.00
	Dull Jewel of Almostness	0.50
	2009 Awards1
	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

Power = rounddown[((1 + days_registered / 36.5) + (post_count / 500) + (henjutsu_level / 3) + (power_tank_level / 2)) * (1 + aura_multiplier) * (karma_level - 1) / 6]

Example

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

((1 + 397 / 36.5 + 489 / 500 + 6 / 3 + 0 / 2) * 1 * (9 - 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

Sometimes referred to as "modmod". This affects a user'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.
