Replace Average with Decent?

Okie, but why? haha

At least, to me anyway, decent is less than little. But that is how I think of the subjective words.

Average feels like half ... average ... decent feels like not so much.

I'd say the opposite, actually. To me, "decent" means "ya did pretty good!" while "average" means "eh ... you did okay."

Average implies you've hit a point consistent with the average of what most people (or you alone) achieve in a session. Since your progress has no relation to such a calculation, I say decent is a decent replacement for average.

Thats a decent explanation Mortis, but I'd say on average you're usually only right a little of the time.

Well seriously I think it makes sense though. To me "decent" is definitely more than "a little", and average actually doesn't really make sense, not that I've thought about it before though.

I agree Mortis from that standpoint. But from the standpoint of I made X amount of xps .... myself ... average is half of what I could make before a Fan.

If you include all others compared to what I make it is probably less than slight. And if you compare my old average to some of the bigger players, it is minimal at best.

I just thought of it as an individual viewpoint, and not comparative.

And that is the fun of subjective words. Conspiracy!

Didnt we have something like that when the new progress levels were introduced? Don't remember... I think so?

Either way, I do agree. It would make sense to automatically reset, and start over, and letting you know you've made one or several fantastics + your current progress. Not sure how it would be presented though. I am thinking it may look a bit strange...?

You have made fantastic, fantastic, fantastic and slight progress since you logged in today.

Or maybe:

You have made fantastic times two and slight progress since you logged in today.

I guess something like that could work... not sure if it's a nicer and more logical solution though? Maybe?
