I propose doing "Take it Easy" if you are going against the worst teams (6th to 8th place teams) and by then you would have some more enthusiasm to play "Crunch Time" for maybe 2-3 games

Practical example. You have ent 8 on the match day. You play normal. The next day your ent is...???? 7!

So, ent goes by 1 towards 5. Maybe more correct was saying like you said it - normal doesn't affect ent. But I think we are both right. Just saying it in a different way.

Yes but if I have 6 enthusiasm, and play normal, it will still show as 6 enthusiasm the next day. So it doesn't drop by 1.
I might have 13 enthusiasm and then the next day I might have 11 shown.
What he said was correct.

Just to clear things up, if I have enthusiasm of 10, what will it become if I play:
a) CT
b) TIE
c) Normal

?

Immediately after the game your enthusiasm would be:
a) 5-ish
b) 13-ish
c) 10

(I am pretty sure that there are sublevels for enthusiasm, hence the "ish" to signify that you could end up one higher or lower depending on how close to the threshhold you are.)

CT will cut your enthusiasm in half.
TIE will increase your enthusiasm by 33%.
Normal will not affect enthusiasm level.
However daily update will cause enthusiasm level to tend towards 5.

If your enthusiasm is above or below 5 and you play normal many weeks in a row, will the enthusiasm revert back to 5 exactly or will it always be just a little bit off (like an asymptote if you know your maths). For example, you play CT the first game of the season and then play normal every game after that... You say it tends towards 5 but will it ever actually get there?

So philosophical question. Like Ahil and the turtle racing story. It will get to 5 but if it's really 5 or 4,96..... Who cares? And by knowing if it's 4,96 you don't gain anything. Better use your energy on something you can control :)))))))

how close did you get to the formula?

6.666 goes down by...X each day (more than .15 for sure)
8.333 (estimate two games in a row of tie back to back) goes to 7.5 in 3 days (I think). We are looking at .3 per day
9.333 goes down by...
So I am thinking, each game adds about a point of TIE on average with the days off being either 2 or 3.

By the way, just FYI- its a complete estimate.
