Question about post counts for pup points

SUPER LATE ANSWER.

@Meghann: Hum. This is where the precise numbers break down a little bit. X: They're not adjusted for the number of characters a person carries. Typically, when someone has lots of characters, the numbers do go down a bit. For examples:
  • Say a player has eight characters -- two are dismal, two are poor, three are average, and one is stellar. This player /MIGHT/ be approved, provided they have no +1s and +0s for their dismal/inactive characters, but is overall less likely to be approved as opposed to the next example. In this case, though it's not only due to their overall numbers the fact that one character is superb and receiving all the attention shows an imbalance of inactivity.

    Say a player has fifteen (!!!) characters. Five are dismal-inactive with +2 and +3 posts per bracket. Three are average, and four are good; two are in the "great" bracket. This player is more likely to be approved, even though five of their characters are less on the activity scale. It does legitimately become very difficult to do tons of posts with tons of characters and this hypothetical player isn't letting any characters go inactive or unattended.
I guess in this regard, I'd say the "baseline" for me is +5 posts per bracket for the "average player" at 'Souls. The average player plays 3 characters and makes +5 posts per bracket. It goes up with less characters -- e.g., I'd expect someone looking for a tertiary to be making ~+7-8 posts per bracket. It goes down with more characters -- if someone's looking for their fifteenth character, as long as each character has at least a +3 per bracket, with no +1s and +0s, I'd be okay granting that fifteenth.

... So I guess it actually gets easier to get more characters as you play more of them, as long as you're consistently posting across all of them.

But also: remember that the number of characters a player has and that character's position in one's auxiliaries has NO bearing whatsoever on puppy requests. x: We don't take those into consideration -- it's a straight up evaluation of your parent characters' activity, without looking at auxiliaries, etc.
