Introduction
This is the definative guide to climbing the XP ladder. The information here is for research purposes only, and is not a recommended for actual use.
The data presented here is based upon the following ideas from the Voting/Experience System:
+1 XP for each writeup
20% chance of +1 every time you vote
+1/2 number of votes cast if all votes are cast on any given day
This presumes that none of your writeups are voted upon, either positively or negatively, and none receive C!s. A simple way to achive this is always check Don't display in "New Writeups", don't add to popular or interesting nodes, and avoid softlinks like the plague. It is also assumed that you cast all your given votes each day (quite a task when you get high on the ladder). Using cools are just a pointless distraction.
