Merit decay question.

[Fyrd Judge]

If i get 10,000 merits this week, how many more merits will i require to cover me in getting the 5 rating ?

Good interview question!

 

[Bryski]

If my maths is correct(which it most often isnt ) then you would need 20k merits this week to cover you getting none next week.

Good interview question!

It's a GCSEs maths test.

Is it a trick question?

10,000 merits already gets you the 5 rating. So zero further merits required?

The answer is green, or Chelsea after a replay.

He means next week. Next week you would carry over 5.000 merits, that means you need to earn another 5000 to keep rank 5

No, Merit decay, FD deduct an amount each week. Question is how much.

Is this the right theory.

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 New Merits earned this week 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 50% last weeks merits 500 500 500 500 500 500 25% merits 2 weeks ago 250 250 250 250 250 12.5% Merits: 3 weeks ago 125 125 125 125 Total Merits for this week 1000 1500 1750 1875 1875 1875 1875

Or this

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 New Merits earned this week 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 50% last weeks total merits 500 750 1000 1250 1468.8 1671.9 1859.4 2031.3 2189.5 25% total merits 2 weeks ago 250 375 500 625.0 734.4 835.9 929.7 1015.6 12.5% total Merits: 3 weeks ago 125 187.5 250.0 312.5 367.2 418.0 464.8 Total merits for this week 1000 1500 2000 2500 2937.5 3343.8 3718.8 4062.5 4378.9 4669.9

Sounds logical and i would get the 50 mil the week after the next cycle ?

you get weekly bonus, after you're at a rank for one week.. so when you get to rank5, you need to wait one week at that rank to get 50mil... not sure what happens if you loose that rank tho... probably still get paid for past week.

I don't know about you guys, but i haven't been seeing merits decay after the cycle ends until another week.

first week, i made 1600+ (then FD ed up the rollover, and i got 1890 carried over). next week, i had the full 1890 carryover, earned 1k more. the next week, i had 1945 (or 1k, plus 50% of the first weeks). the same was verified for 2 others in the thread we had.

pretty sure NONE of the models I or anyone else has presented account for the strange numbers seen. FD's merit math is obscure at best, totally ed up at worst.

So the real answer, OP, is that nobody knows for sure.
