SHOT POINTS AND DRUNK STATS FAQ


Shot points‚ referred to as ”shots‚” are BDBP’s form of currency. Shot points determine your level of access to content and special features. The amount of shots you currently have taken‚ determines your current ”drunkenness.”



You need shot points so that you see the really raw honest threads that are hidden to lower levels. Also‚ BDBP has over 100 awesome and unique features and amusements which will appear and/or become activated progressively as you increase your drunkenness.



BDBP and the Raw Honest anti-forum have been constructed to provide maximum stimulation and to never get old or boring. Shots add another dimension to the forum‚ making it a sort of strategy game as well as a community and communication tool. Shots are also intended to encourage participation but discourage random and/or uninteresting participation. The forum has been designed such that if a member creates interesting content‚ they will become more drunk; likewise‚ if a member contributes crap that junks up the forum but has little interest‚ they will quickly regain their sobriety.



The best way to start acquiring a lot of shots‚ is to answer a lot of profile questions. Be sure to answer them honestly and make your answers interesting were relevant. You will not get shots immediately‚ however‚ as soon as other members notice you and vote on your answers‚ you will quickly start amassing shots. Shots are awarded to you based on a drunken calculation that factors in - 1. the number of votes‚ 2. What scores your receive (1 to 10)‚ 3. Your overall average‚ 4. The comparative overall averages aggregated from every other members scores‚ and 5. (IMPORTANT) The raw honest value assigned to each question that you will find listed next to each question. The second best way to begin‚ is to answer poll questions and vote on other peoples profile answers. You will drink 15 immediate shots for each poll question you answer‚ and 10 for each profile answer you vote on. This is very quick and easy and will help you get a pretty fast buzz. Make sure you log in BEFORE voting or answering polls or else the BDBP will not know who to give the shots too and you will not get credit for you participation.



IMPORTANT: Even though your earned shots are kept track of while you earn them‚ they will not actually kick in until you view your drunk balance sheet (buzz stats)>. Your shot stats are automatically updated every time you log into the website. If you wish to make sure they are completely updated while logged in, you may view your shot balance sheet. Every time you view your drunk balance sheet, your shot stats are updated. This also means that you will not be promoted to the next drunk level - even if you have the required amount of shots‚ until you view your shot stats page‚ or the next time you login to the site. Why: The reason why BDBP has it so you must view your balance sheet in order to update your shots‚ is to maximize the efficiency of website (server) resources thus making the website perform faster and accommodate more concurrent drunks. BDBP uses 1 SQL database and around 14 or so ACCESS databases to store the data and handle the shot tracking. Every time you view your buzz stats‚ the page must communicate with each database in order to determine all of your current shot and level information. This use to happen every time poets logged in but it was slowing down the log in process too much. Be prepared for it to take a minute or so for the buzz stats page to load. Eventually this process will be improved when I get all of the data running off of the much more powerfully SQL type database. Brass Tax: Your security level and shot point score will not update until you view/load your buzz stats page. You should view this page whenever you think you might have enough new shots to move up a level‚ or when you wish to analyze your shot acquisition or look into purchasing some shots. Any questions on this issue feel free to ask them here on this related help forum item.
