Quebec,
One character who is low in the chain is always in the MP, his name is Trouser Snake.
If you go hunt in a raiment hive or in one of the monkey dungeons on AL you can fellow with Trouser Snake.
If you fellow with him he will get 75% of the XP you make and you too, at that moment you may seem to loose 25% but as Trouser Snake is in the bottom of the chain he will push up a lot of XP into the chain and eventually the XP you "lost" while being fellowed will come back to you through the chain
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to.
So that when they turn their backs on you.
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

We have a few people who serve as "pushers." They have very high loyalty skill, and their job is mostly to remain available for fellowships all of the time. W try to keep one pusher standing on top of the VoD lifestone, and one standing in the northwest room of the Marketplace at all times.

If I hunt Oof with one of the pushers. Oof will get 75% of the XP that is earned from killing things. Here's what makes things good for the chain though: the pusher will also get 75% of all of the XP Oof earns while he is killing. Since the pushers have very high loyalty, a large part of that XP will go from them up into the bottom part of the chain.

The idea is that if everyone in the chain will hunt even just one buff cycle per week with a pusher, we will have a LOT of people hunting with a pusher in their fellowship, and the pushers will pass a very large amount of XP up into the bottom of the chain. If we get enough people to hunt with the pushers, we could add easily add hundreds of millions of XP into the bottom of the chain every week.

Does that explain it Quebec? Sometimes my explanations help; sometimes I think they end up making things more confusing...

Since the advent of delegating fellow leader, TS will sometimes be left with a fellow.

First, before disbanding your fellow, close it.


Just in case, I have set him to fellow ppl -- use the password: ldrocks


He'll fellow you then.

I'll be honest it would be very rare for me to fellow with a pusher, when i hunt i generally dual log, so passing xp up via 2 of my chars at once, which will throw xp up the chain in 2 diff spots, cant very well put my "non hunting char" into a fellow with others as well as a pusher leeching, seems to work ok what i do, and the "non hunting char" would be kazeyer, who is fairly near bottom.

Err hope this makes some sense ;)

It made sense the first time you posted it too. ;) Having multiple pushers working at the same time to pass up XP is the preferred way to go if we can. If I fellow with one pusher, my XP drops from from 100% of the XP to 75% percent. If I take on an additional pusher, my XP only drops from 75% to 60%. Granted, I take another hit of 15% on my personal XP from hunting, but it's only from one buff cycle or so per week. What the chain gains from it is that two pushers are each getting 60% of the XP I kill for, so we're pushing 120% of the XP I earn from killing, straight into the bottom of the chain.

Of course, ideally, what we would like to see is multiple fellowships running at the same time, each of which has a pusher in it. That's kind of what you're doing right now with Kazayer. :)

Thanks for the reminder Thewho. I've been somewhat distracted lately with RL issues, but will see what we can do on this. :)

The bottom part of the Food Chain listing doesn't look right to me. When I get a chance to get ingame later tonight I'll try to verify how it is actually structured currently. In the meantime WHOEVER is at the bottom of the Food Chain, please feel free to add Oof and Borg to your friends list and /tell me if you see me ingame. We'll go collect some XP, vitae, or both. :)

Gruhen Do is not in the chain from long time he is under brutal but he dont have peps under him , and while mariann stop to be a pusher him didnt gain xp from chain, lyryII got no pusher under her/him.

and for who think pusher are just leechers well is not true when we dont have pusher the last part of the chain suffer lot maybe the flow of the bottom is irrilevant for the high lvl but for most of the 100 to 126 is a big help.

use a pusher mean give a big help to the chain for everyone.

I have pushed around 2 billion xp through the bottom to the pushers. I sure wish some others would put 1/10 the effort!

I'll second Acaddict's wish, surpassed only by my own wish that Acaddict was my vassal. ;)
