CULTURAL ACTIVITY
=================
Cultural activity measures the membership activity within a city or communes
guilds. Novice activity is given twice the weight as member activity. The city
or commune with the highest cultural activity is awarded a bonus of 100
points. See TOPGUILDS for a breakdown of activity by guild.

====================================

Glomdoring:

66+55+32=153
Listed score, 152
Harbinger contribution, -1

Serenwilde:

88+100+44+36=268
Listed score, 286
Contribution by children conceived in moonlight orgies, 18

Celest:

100+103+57+96=356
Listed score, 413 (-100)
Points sucked down whirlpools, 43

Magnagora:

112+74+52+42=280
Listed score, 247
Points mutated by the Taint into non-points, 37.

Does anyone else think this seems a little off?

I think I'm the 18 points that Seren got that isn't in TOPGUILDS.

No, not really serious. But TOPGUILDS and cultural activity aren't based the same things, I would think.

That would be why I posted the help file.

Firstly yay for the Geomancers, first time number one that I've seen!

But i think Rika is right, isn't the log activity also part of consideration for cultural score as well as other factors, I'm not sure of, while top guilds is based off activity alone? Might be visa-versa.

Harbringers omission is nothing new either, but people seem used to it.

Sigh, Nihilists are so low. And I do find it wierd that Glomdoring is low on Culture. Last thing I knew they were on top.

Cultural Activity does not correlate to the Topguilds output, as there are more variables that are considered when determining Cultural Activity than simply "time spent online". It's up to you to try and figure out what!
Daganev2007-08-31 04:35:49
I always thought that Topguilds takes the level of the chars into account, while cultural activity does not.
Unknown2007-08-31 04:40:24
Just something I quickly saw: Serenwilde has 5 guilds, you listed the points of 4 I think.
Arel2007-08-31 04:53:35
I bugged Harbingers not showing up awhile ago. They probably don't contribute to the cultural activity score either.

I know they used to show up though...

PS: And we don't conceive people in moonlight orgies. They like them! Ask Arel! ninja.gif

Must take into acount quests, is my thought.

It isn't a bug that the Harbingers aren't showing up. If your guild isn't active enough, it won't appear on Topguilds.

Wow, that is moderately depressing.
