Journal mattOzan's Journal: Acheivement notation? 1
I don't get the notation of the Slashdot Achievements.
Multiple instances of a particular achievement seem to be denoted with a subscripty-type number (for instance, my "Days Read In A Row" is at 2 6) I can't quite figure out what the final value is for this achievement in calculating the total Achievement Score.
Here's what I think (Score:2)
I've been trying to figure it out, too. From what I can tell, it's powers of two. I've submitted eight stories that have been posted, and my achievement in that category is 2^3. "Days read in a row" is 2^6, which I'm guessing means between 64 and 127 days, and only if I reach 128 days in a row will it go to 2^7.
I think that some of the other achievements are one-time only, e.g., "The Tagger", since I have definitely tagged stories since the date listed.
