How do nerd stars work

I'm just wondering how the whole star system works. I just started using over.gg recently and I've been commenting on lots of things (you may have seen me have an argument or two with sideshow as well as backing up KuroiRyuu on his stellar score predictions). Is it just the more you post, you eventually get a star? Just curious :P

keep it up, every 6 months we host an election on who gets the next star, nominated by the pre-existing 4 stars of legend. make your posts worthwhile and you'll find yourself in the ballot in no time!

Is that actually how it works?

It's a secret algorithm of post quantity, upfrags, and ancient voodoo magic.

I don't know myself, but maybe number of posts + upvotes? Probably some combination but I am entirely unsure.

You could also try no-lifing it and stand next to a computer screen constantly refreshing the Over.gg page in the hopes that something new pops up to comment on it in a way that you perceive as constructive or informative and hope that others either agree with you or at least understand the message you were trying to convey and respond in a coherent and thought out manner so that a true conversation can be had.

I may have overthunk this.

KUROIRYUU TELL ME YOUR SECRETS HOW DID YOU DO IT

I took Sideshow's advise. Post a lot, pray it gets upfragged and practice VooDoo. Now, I'm Haitian so the last bit comes naturally, your milage may vary.

I think if we all downfrag your post we can nuke your star

The key to acquiring a star is always upfragging yourself. (Not that I would ever do that)

Oh shit, I've begun the path of ascension to my 2nd star. I have no life. over.gg is my life, that's how you get stars.

That's unfortunate, might as well go full on no-life while you still can.

If you post 10 times a day and don't get massively downvoted you will get nerd stars quickly
