I remember working on another power scale calculation thread a while ago, which calculated not only raw power but things like cleverness, connections/alliances, limitations, and territorial advantages. So it ended up being closer to a danger scale instead of power, along the lines of "it's safer to piss off Mother Winter than Lara, because Mother Winter (probably) can't directly do anything to you, despite being way stronger than Lara".
In any case, though, any power scale calculator would have to have error bars implemented, and I suspect they'd be large enough that any comparison between reasonably similar-tier characters (as in, not Butters vs. Ferrovax) would have overlapping error bars, and so the scheme would be very rough regardless.

We are go for launch! Let me know if I screwed up the setup in any way. It was my first time futzing with the forum's infrastructure. :D

Also, has anyone tried to write a little computer app or something to keep things straight? I don't know how hard this would be, but having a sub-website-thing hosting stuff like a power calculator or a database of theories that would be searchable/sortable would be really, really awesome.

at some point im going to graph it out.. the idea is to take the 'who can kill mab' caluclations and then groudn it in real world equivalents of things we have seen people do. For example, How much power does it take to create a blizzard?
or blow up a house with lightning?.. or..destroy jupiter?

I have noticed recently that Serack's awesome lsit is kinda bleeding out as the threads the WOJs are in auto delete themselves.
for example:
this link about maggie sr is now dead
my sugestion: a master WOJ list, which includes not links but the actual citations, and that this be included in your permanent refernce board.

Any threads containing WOJ should have been moved to the WOJ board, where threads aren't purged. Looks like this one slipped through our fingers. If you see any more, please let us know!
