I didn't dispute that. That's how the system currently works. But if we were to raise at the same amount per day then I'd beat you =P. Oh well. WW, revamp the system quickly!

If we were to raise at the same amount per day the system wouldn't make sense.

Well it keeps track of your history for the past 28 days(it's actually 14 right now, since WW changed it.) You get activity for Visiting once a day, and then for making up to 4 posts per day, so pretty much you get 5 points a day(it really isn't THAT simple, but we'll assume so for my sake of explaination.)

So, you would think that if you posted 4 times a day every day and if I posted 4 times a day every day, you would actually beat me to 100%. At first glance that's how it looks.

But that's not how it works, because how much your activity increases depends also on the very first day in the current 28 days that's being measured. Because that day will drop off, and your new day will add on. So if 28 days ago you had 5 out of 5 points, and you get 5 out of 5 points today, it will in essence just cancel out, until you get to a day where you didn't get 5 points.

Pretty much, even if you visit every day and post 4 times a day, the amount that that effects your activity will vary from day to day, so pretty much in the next 2 days my activity is going to jump to 100% while yours will creep toward 100%, which is why I'll get there before you even though my current activity is less than yours.

I'm sure WW will correct me on any mistakes I made in my explaination.

No, that's pretty much it. Weeks are also weighted differently, so you get losses from days switching weeks, too, but that is inconsequential to your current situation.

I still don't understand why i have 13 days to 100% and someone who has 80% right now has 13 days also.

It's because the time to 100% is dependant on how long ago your most recent miss was. If you've been getting 75% up untill 5 days ago, then 100%, and another person got 0 up untill 10 days ago, then 100%, they'll have lower activity, but also less time for the bad days to get off their record.
