that's how my score got as high as it did - 2 or 3 big imports.

I don't do any offline editing but I'm constantly updating. I've also found a way to artificially increase the hotness score but that seems like a pointless thing to do - I'm more interested in the development score (which I'm pleased to see as of this morning Aries is now #23 on the 'most developed' list )

Thank you proffesor for the chatguest clearup. My development stays around 5000, i update every couple days.

Development is a good strong indicator. I just made a change to Heat so that it will be a better indicator as well. At higher levels it will decrease faster than lower levels, but never enough to overtake a lower score. Otherwise it would take Julie Tinkerbell a year and a half to come down from her high!

I mean my heat from development stays at around 5000. not my development. Otherwise, I'd be developmentally handicapped.

hehehe...Ok...Now I see what happened. To answer your question, Prof, I have never once used the import feature- I make all improvements to Julie online, I just make them often.
So, how is the hotness decrease graduated? Julie lost 3000 points with your adjustment, I hope she's not going to drop 3000 a day! lol

Hey does anyone want to talk to my bot named Erin?

Dear Professor:

Yes, I use the import/export feature a great deal (For Irina Khalidar). I find that once I get my language center into WordPad, I can work on it much more efficiently. So if I'm going to do a significant amount of work, it makes sense to import/export.

Walk in Beauty, Irina

And yes, for awhile I was making updates daily.

Is there a problem?

Wait a second the problem is not fixed, I just talked to (Gir) and I was shown as a guest.

I lost 3000 improvement points yesterday afternoon, and another 3000+ points as of this morning, and earned no development points even though I worked on my bot yesterday...
Those of us who have high improvement scores have those scores because that is indeed how much work we've done, so I don't understand why I would lose 6000+ points in under 24 hours. It seems like someone who sees a development score of 16900 one day, then 10000 the next would assume that no updates had been made. Far be it for me to criticize, and I'm not saying that it's not fair, but could someone please explain to me how it is?
Thanks, and sorry for being a bit confused by this.
