#### Dear Glitch: Stop doing complicated stuff, head hurts.

The only thing I hate from Glitch is that any question related to IMG, energy or mood (for example) is allways met by an answer depicting a complicated multi step calculation process designed by NASA engineers using obscure data nowhere to be found in a glance.
I just want to know, one example of many, how much IMG my rock gives me when other ppl come to my street without having to calculate the orbit of the earth between leap years considering the mass of the dark matter in the galaxy.
Next time use a system that can be explained saying stuff like "Oh, is twelve, that´s it" or "of course! is either one or two, anything else?"
Thanks.

- I don't count. I just find the conclusion: is it worthy or not? How much it worth?

- I would love to see the calculations for everything in Glitch be so arcane it would be nigh-impossible to min-max. But then, I love messin' with minmaxers. :P

- How did you figure out your basic number? How can you ensure to have no visitors? (Please don't tell me I have stand on my street for 4 hours...I don't think my patience will stretch that far!!)

- I have earned the same amount of iMG every day until I reach a new level, and except for the people I added recently, I didn't really have any active friends. It is likely, and I am assuming that nobody came to visit me, but of course that is only an assumption and not a guarantee.

- I didn't stand on my street (so do not fear having to stand on your street for 4 hours!); it's mostly common sense for me. I got 535 most times I checked, and once in a while I'd get something higher. I'd pop in game for consecutive game days to reflect and collect my iMG and rarely did the number change. I never got anything lower, either. It's not likely that the numbers would stay that consistent over a long period of time or that I'd never see the base number when I collected.

- when I log in first thing in the morning (usually before 9 am, EDT), I almost always get the same amount of iMG. I assume that that number is my base number, since it is unlikely that many people come by during the US/Canada night time.

- @ Mikah: idc what the number is. It's very small. I haven't figured it out. So my answer to you is since you seem to care:
  YOU
  DO
  THE
  DAMN
  WORK
  I'm not your personal work monkey. Though seems some Ti'iites are interested.
  Just because you want your ass clean doesn't mean I'm going to clean it for you.
  I will tell you where the toilet paper is and tell you you need to take the plastic off. I'll reassure you that even though this bathroom is fancy it doesn't actually have an asswiper installed but that it's really not that hard to clean yourself if you want to.
  Then I'll secretly pine for a bidet...what kind of people don't have bidets?

- Okay, so from >^.^< we know that it goes up linearly with level through certain intervals. Assuming that it is going up linearly between Little Miss Goggles 535 at level 41 and Windborn's 655 at level 47, that would mean that it is going up by 20 a level. Going backwards from 41 and upwards from 25, we find that it would switch from 15 per level to 20 per level at level 30, which seems totally plausible.
  So, while this is hardly 100% sure, I think at this point we're pretty safe guessing that it's 195 at level 22, then it goes up by 15 through level 29, then it starts going up by 20 the rest of the way up.
  But wait, I've noticed that at high level quarzy quoin value goes up by 24. Since we get a 20% mood bonus from mood, that means the base it going up by 20. Is the base value for street img (which is not affected by mood, I'm fairly certain) just equal to your quarzy quoin base value? Anyone who is getting the minimum amount interested in confirming that a full mood quarzy quoin gives 20% more than their minimum street amount? (I'll do this two hours on my science alts to check the low levels).
  Confidential to Coriander Fitzbilly: I would love that too, all the more satisfaction when I successfully figure everything out.

- Humbabella, yes, my street img base value equals my qurazy quoin base value, and they have been increasing at the same rate as I made my last few levels. (Current numbers: 395 base street img, 474 max-mood qurazy quoin, at level 34.)
  (Also I have definitely been seeing the 20-img increment my last few levels, supporting level 30 as the switching point.)

- Perfect, so even if we don't have a complete picture of how the values scale at low levels we can all easily determine what our own maximum value is, it's 5 times our base quarzy quoin amount (the amount you get at full mood divided by 1.2, or the amount of you between 70% and 80% mood). Also, I think we do have a complete picture from level 22 up. Really I'd just need one or two more data points below level 20 to get a very good idea of how it works.
  Actually, this will really help in figuring out quarzy quoin values, something I've been meaning to do for a while.

- I am also finding that my qurazy quoin base value and home street base values are the same. With the 20% mood boost, I am earning 288 iMG for my qurazy quoins (240 base value).
  I also got my first visitor today, and she was so kind to list all the actions she performed on my home street, which were as follows:
  * 2x harvest gas, bubble, bean trees
  * sing to each of (2) butterflies
  * 2x milk each of (2) butterflies
  * 2x massage each of (2) butterflies
  * 5x squeeze each of (3) chickens
  The iMG I earned today was 288, which is a total of 48 iMG above my base value. Any ideas on how the 48 was calculated?

- I was wondering when Humbabella was going to land here :D
  Posted 6 months ago by Mikah | Permalink
- one possibility is that you got 4 iMG for each action she performed.

- We are doing the damn work Metra, don´t worry ;P

- At level 44 I get 595 iMG without any visitors. This indeed correlates with my qurazy quion value of 714 iMG using Humbabella's formula. Excellent work figuring this out!

- I tried to do some quick calculations of the value of people performing actions on your street last night, but it appears that watering somone's garden does not count for anything. I'll try again tonight and see if I can figure out how much imagination a single tree harvest is worth (and if it varies depending on your base value)
