Now Now Lois, don't take it that way ;-)

To simplfy things Mana is like showing appreciation to other members who you respect.

If you feel someone is contributing well you will give them a Mana, The Mana however does have a sophisticated way of calculating things, so the more you give the less value your mana is, so be selective :-)

If you want more information on Mana, there is a full explanation here http://www.blackchat.co.uk/theblackforum/forum12/6.html

Have fun :)

 A user "adds mana" to other users she respects, and the more mana she has, the more the increase in recipients' manas. A user can also change her mind, and remove mana from someone to whom she added mana before. However, the more members a member adds mana to, the less the effect of those mana additions.

For example, let's assume that your mana is 3 out of 4. If you want to add mana to someone then you basically add him/her 3 points divided by the number of members to whom you added mana before. If you added mana to one member before, the amount of mana you would add is 3/(1+1)=1.5 points. This is a dynamic process. Whenever someone adds or removes mana, the manas of all members are calculated from scratch.

Finally, mana takes the normal distribution rule into account, and it gets increasingly accurate as you get more members."

Glad you asked?? !!  

 

Just thought this might make it a tiny bit clearer about manas, even though I am still having a hard time understanding it lol!
