Yes indeed, I have no idea whatsoever. I decided it would be nice to add because it looks cool. There was no deep thought going into it. Yep! :P

I actually posted something about how you can use it somewhere... But maybe you can use it in duels and in wars... I might explain later or not... I'm more in-depth when it comes to flash... so i can think of possible queries to use in SQL to attain a similar result...

I'd like to help but i'm too young... ^^;

But it would be great to use it in battle...

We're working on some kind of application for the stats, we're just not sure what we'll use it for or the algorithms we'll implement. They probably won't mean anything for phase 4.

I find it very interesting that people are going to be specially tailoring their posts from here on out to achieve certain stats.

I also find it interesting that a thread that was initially a mistake has made it to two pages (in the default view).

I'm siding with Viki, by the way (always a favourite mage).

One thought though, is that if length helps Magic, doesn't that possibly entail participants attempting to have a better magic stat as having more troops a good deal of the time per post than others? Should those be such a factor as to hold sway over two statistics.

I can't imagine that somethin so seemingly unrelated as troops and magic could eventually by more or less proportional. Maybe it doesn't even matter, and maybe I'm thinking too much.

I think I need to lie down a while.

Troop count and magic prowess are not necessarily proportional. Five short posts can create the same number of soldiers as one long post for example, but they would create a low Magic stat.
With your argumentation you could as well say that the Speed stat (or nearly any other stat) and soldier count are proportional, because posting more often per day definitely not only improves your Speed, but also your troop count.

Only snag is the 25 post limit for soldier gain. Even if you make 100 posts per day, you'll still get more SPD, while you'll no longer gain any soldiers.

Oh, that's good. I'm not planning to do 25 posts anyways.

wow, yeah I so totaly don't understand this.
I would do TR but i can't think of a good character, plus I feel like I should of done it years ago, I was here when it was starting, so I'm not some ignorant newbie.

so do my stats have affect on anything? or is it the otherway around? do I loose points for spelling and gramatical mistakes? if so theres no hope, MS word even isn't good at fxing those things.

Both, I think. What controls speed, again? The speed between posts?

kuwaizair, I don't think spelling or grammatical mistakes have any bearing on the stats, but most stats aren't permanent. I've noticed that my speed has increased and then decreased as I had a lull in activity. The system won't penalize you for spelling mistakes or the like, as soldiers are determined by the number of characters in your posts and, as you can see in your profile, it also keeps track of your word count.

Well, that puts a lot of us in good graces anyway, Elc.

Also, I can't believ that my mistake thread has a True Fire Rune by it.

While posting does increase your exp. I always considered getting soldiers a by product of that. Most of the Magicians I've seen on this board Have very strange stats. So I am trying to give a personality around them. By the way, I've seen people refer to TR a couple of times, may I ask what that is?

MySQL's HAVING clause does not follow standard SQL until version 5.0 -- in fact, I wouldn't use it when a simple WHERE clause would work. HAVING requres the SQL server to reparse the line twice. You should only use it when you can't use the WHERE clause (very rarely).

I also changed the if's to a switch with the most common group_id's at the top and removed the extra var created.

Code:
$result = mysql_query('SELECT group_id FROM ' . USER_GROUP_TABLE .'
                      WHERE user_id=' . $profiledata[user_id] . '  AND
                      group_id IN (\'39\',\'38\',\'40\',\'37\',\'100000\')');
if ( !$result )
{
    echo 'Could not run query: '. mysql_error();
    exit;
}
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result );

switch ( $row['group_id'] );
{
    case 39:
        $regtype = 'Calvary';
        break;
    case 38:
        $regtype = 'Infantry';
        break;
    case 40:
        $regtype = 'Archer';
        break;
    case 37:
        $regtype = 'Magician';
        break;
    default:
        break;
}
