Well I know that one for certain; I was mainly interested in the runners-up and so on. However, I would prefer to call H-I the Magnificent rather than the Munificent.

Oh, I'm so embarrassed. (See below)

Ho hum... Well I have been shown up! Thank you, mark12_30! And, sorry Mithalwen, I was just being too silly. Dictionary.com is my new friend.

1420!

Eh, it's not worth losing sleep over. I posted the definition because... *tada* .... I had to look it up myself anyway since I wasn't sure.

And I think I've said before that I love your sig, but I'll say it again now.

Most Valuable Wights

Out of a mix of boredom and curiosity I have compiled this (unofficial) list of those members with the most reputation points to give, since the combination of longevity and the amount and quality of contribution is what decides the number. According to BW's formula seen here, I have counted up the points for these people. Now some of them registered in January, meaning that the next period of 365 days is nearly up in which they will rep one more point and some have 2,900 some odd posts meaning once they cross 3,000, another point will be added. (mark12-30, Esty, and SpM, for instance) So here it is:
1. Heren-Istarion: 13
2. The Saucepan Man: 12
3. The Barrow-Wight: 12
4. Bęthberry: 12
5. Child of the Seventh Age: 11
6. Estelyn Telcontar: 10
7. mark 12_30: 10
8. piosenniel: 10
9. davem: 9
10. Mister Underhill: 9
So there you have it: our most valuable members!

I may be missing some; these were just the ones I guessed would be highest according to the memberlist viewed in reputations and in posts. Remember this is an unofficial list.

Edit: Here is Fordim's whom I did not include since he hasn't been here even a year and has less than 1,000 posts. But as anyone can clearly see, he has very valuable and should not be left out of such a list. Sharkű and Mithadan too, since they're mods and have been here so long.
Fordim Hedgethistle: 7
Sharkű: 8
Mithadan: 8

Nice list, Lindolirian.

I think it'd be interesting to see who's given the most negative rep points out, though I don't expect to ever see that list.

Heren has brought a good point to my attention. I forgot to add in the first point that we all start off with, so everyone's is moved up one point. The Munificent () H-I proved this by rating me and indeed my points went up 14 rather than 13.
Don't forget, my list is approximate, unofficial and subject to errors as we have just seen.

1420! 5 December 2004

Below is a new list compiled today at 1500 EST using a new formula* and data from the last 30 days.

01 Sapphire_Flame (5.940386132)
02 HerenIstarion (5.340343853)
03 Estelyn Telcontar (3.898897038)
04 Child of the 7th Age (3.502858551)
05 Nilpaurion Felagund (3.487862144)
06 Boromir88 (3.17124316)
07 Lalwendë (3.051662329)
08 Lhunardawen (2.877452177)
09 Regin Hardhammer (2.662787139)
10 Bęthberry (2.55591176)
11 Rimbaud (2.464021547)
12 The Saucepan Man (2.032547077)
13 Fordim Hedgethistle (1.816916266)
14 Arry (1.779145733)
15 Lindolirian (1.668394127)
16 luthien-elvenprincess (1.664899778)
17 Kuruharan (1.618961023)
18 Firefoot (1.608295838)
19 Encaitare (1.599502446)
20 Fingolfin II (1.557386621)

* I developed a new formula to try to make the calculations produce a list of people who are most effectively using the reputations system AND are likewise building good reputations for themselves. The new formula takes all of the following into account.

During the time period (last 30 days)
1) How did the user's reputation go up (or down) compared to the forum average?
2) How many reputations did the user give compared to the forum average?
3) What is the user's 'weight' compared to the average (NOTE: this is the most important part of the formula. Here is where the weight of everyone is averaged so that people like me and Heren_Istarion still have to work hard to get on the list. Even when the advantage of weight is taken away, Heren still places second! He is doing it right! Guess who didn't make the list this time

If you have any question or want specifics, please ask.

Which means honorary title of The Rating Santa (TRS) passes on to Sapphire_Flame, meaning I can finally stop practicing ho-ho-ho's and throwing out my belly. That false beard itches, you know

Oh my! I didn't think I'd ever get on the list of Top Rep Givers™, but there I am! At the very top, no less. *pokes the number one by her name* Curiouser and curiouser.

And, Heren, thanks, but no, on the TRS costume. I doubt I'd look good with a beard, in any case. Maybe I could go by "Annaneth" instead? *grins*

So I suppose this new formula is more accurate than the one before it?
What exactly is this formula, if I may ask?

I have decided to not reveal the formula, because I may yet have some refinement to do on it. But never fear! The results you see now are indicative of our best reputation givers and receivers. Yet I see the possibility of further improvement.

Don't worry about it just happy to raise the profile of this underused word . Due to dyspraxia and the teaching regime fashionable when I was at school, my spelling is wobbly, but I don't tend to use words whose meanings I am unsure of ... this dates back to making the horrifying discovery that sensuous and sensual weren't interchangeable and that countless literature essays were therefore rather racier than I had intended!!!!!

... HI may well also be magnificent but regardless of his rank, munificent is very apt, in my opinion... I on the other hand am clearly Ebenezer Scrooge

Wow. I've never been on a list before. (And in the top ten too) I will carry my 9th position on the rep giving list with pride. Thanks to everyone for so many great posts worthy of rep giving.

Congrats to sapphire flame on her top spot.

14: C7A, mark12_30
13: B-W, Bethberry, Esty
12: davem, Mr. Underhill

I was going to do a Top Ten again, but I didn't want to leave out the others who scored 11, so I just set it out by score. Honorable Mentions to: The Saucepan Man for being Number One, and Fordim Hedgethistle for having all of his points accumulated from rep points.
There they are ladies and gentlemen!

Question Err...

If it is not too impertinent, I don't suppose we could have an updated list for the Downs' top reputation givers...

It is kind of an interesting thing to know.

Question

I'd be interested in knowing what the average forum member is worth in terms of giving points. As far as I can tell, I'm currently worth 5, will be worth 6 in April? If the munificent HerenIstarion is worth 18, I'm worth 5-ish as a member of longish-standing but a long gap in participation, and a brand new member is worth 0 to start with; where in the spectrum do the bulk of us fall?

Curiosity, curiosity.

Sophia

1420! I broke through Top Ten!

(Elenrod does Letterman's card/rep throwing trick.)

And my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Munificent.

And everyone on the list/s.

Meaning what? Since the start of the rep system?

In the case of the Barrowdowns, the starts of the rep system and the Solar system are of equal importance.

E=mc2?

So is this going to lead to an "Eomer's theory of relativity"? And the discovery that since reputaion travels in a straight line the Downs must be in four dimensional space time?

You know what Mithalwen? I really don't think it's going to get to that stage.

You yourself though, appear to have the makings of an interesting little theory. Keep working on it. Rather than space and time, I explicitly linked the rep. system to power politics earlier on. And I'm sticking with that theory.

I don't know about anyone else but I'd be interested in seeing another rep list.

I'd also be interested in seeing who the highest rated bder that has given out the least number of reps in return is, but I doubt we'll get to see that.

All the newbies who have never given rep... And all the stagnant members who have never done the same?

Formendacil: That's why I dropped the 'highest rated bder' line in there - although I suppose you'd have to subtract the highly rated idle ones (if there is such a thing).

At any rate that doesn't matter, because I doubt we'll ever see that. I would still like to see a new list, though.

Isn't BW still on his leave of absence? Which reminds me: I'm surprised the site hasn't fallen apart yet!
