How does the amount of clans get calculated? (in General)


AdminShade May 13 2005 6:37 AM EDT

I was browsing through clans and saw that there were more clans in the 'bonus area' today than yesterday.

i know that more characters in clans = more clans in bonuses but what is the relation between them?

ok some numbers:

currently we have 129 clans (+ or - 1, i could have miscounted going through 3 pages)

we also have 553 clan characters (with a margin of 5 because i think i got 1 clan double)


If it depends on the amount of clans in which the top clans are made into 'bonus clans' (clans receiving fight rewards) then i could make the following calculation and get to the following point:
32 / 130 = 24.6% (almost 25%)

then it would be total amount of clans / 4 = clans in bonus area which would be right for 129 clans to have 32 of them having bonuses.

and about those clans gaining a bonus:

Rank / Bonus: 1 / 15.0%
Rank / Bonus: 2 / 14.5%
Rank / Bonus: 3 / 14.1%
Rank / Bonus: 4 / 13.6%
Rank / Bonus: 5 / 13.1%
Rank / Bonus: 6 / 12.7%
Rank / Bonus: 7 / 12.2%
Rank / Bonus: 8 / 11.7%
Rank / Bonus: 9 / 11.2%
Rank / Bonus: 10 / 10.8%
Rank / Bonus: 11 / 10.3%
Rank / Bonus: 12 / 9.8%
Rank / Bonus: 13 / 9.4%
Rank / Bonus: 14 / 8.9%
Rank / Bonus: 15 / 8.4%
Rank / Bonus: 16 / 8.0%
Rank / Bonus: 17 / 7.5%
Rank / Bonus: 18 / 7.0%
Rank / Bonus: 19 / 6.6%
Rank / Bonus: 20 / 6.1%
Rank / Bonus: 21 / 5.6%
Rank / Bonus: 22 / 5.2%
Rank / Bonus: 23 / 4.7%
Rank / Bonus: 24 / 4.2%
Rank / Bonus: 25 / 3.8%
Rank / Bonus: 26 / 3.3%
Rank / Bonus: 27 / 2.8%
Rank / Bonus: 28 / 2.3%
Rank / Bonus: 29 / 1.9%
Rank / Bonus: 30 / 1.4%
Rank / Bonus: 31 / 0.9%
Rank / Bonus: 32 / 0.5%


this makes 15% / 32 clans = 0.46875%

this would be ~right and it would just have a creative way of rounding the bonuses.

so with 15 clans the clan bonuses would be 1% apart from each other and with 30 it would be .5%.

I could've sworn when I was reading the

Some of them appeared to be "\", hah weird. But I'm impressed by how you're interested in the inner workings of CB. I would never imagine trying to figure things like this.
