Chapter 5

Is Stigl pog?

For as long as I can remember, Stigl has believed he is not pog. Lets try and prove that wrong.

Luna > Hello, are you ready to start the interview?
Poggingfish > Yes.
Luna > How do you define "pogginess" / "being pog"?
Is there a specific to know how someone is pog?
Poggingfish > Yes. But it is alot simpler than many think.
As the person who pretty much created pogginess I believe
pogginess is just how many good deeds and good things you
do for others. For example, if you do many good things
I believe you are poggier than someone who makes life
worse for others.
Luna > Would you be pog if you didnt make life worse OR better
for others?
Poggingfish > I would say you would just be neutral.
Luna > Thats all for now. Thank you!

Okay, lets create some numbers based off of that. Lets define a good deed as when you do something that makes someone feel grateful/feel happier. Lets put happiness on a level of 1-500 and gratefulness on a level of 1-500.

They go up by one everytime you do something that makes someone feel greatful/happy, with a maximum level of 500.

Pogginess is defined as the happiness level added to the greatfulness level. Meaning the maximum pogginess is 1000. Lets calculate Stigl's pogginess level!

Stigl met Luna on 02/28/2022 1:32 PM CST, and sent the following messages.

Hello
Can you help me <Lunas Discord Tag>?

Luna responded with yes, meaning that Luna helped Stigl so she gains a gratefulness point. But, shortly after that. Luna and Stigl started talking regularly and Luna started getting happier and happier due to the fact the made a new friend, and that has continued almost daily for the past 573 days. Meaning that stigl has already reached the maximum happiness level. In this time Luna has assisted Stigl many times. On average, we can say that luna assists stigl one time per two days, meaning Luna has a gratefulness level of ~287. BUT according to Stigl, Luna makes him happier everyday aswell. Meaning Luna also gets 500 points for happiness.

Current stats:

  • Luna: 287 Gratefulness, 500 happiness, total: 787
  • Stigl: 0 Gratefulness, 500 happiness, total: 500

But, Stigl also helps Luna alot! For example, Stigl helps Luna come up with new ideas and helps her solve certain programming problems. This happens nearly once per two days at an absolute minimum, so lets also add 287 to Stigl's gratefulness rating.

Current stats:

  • Luna: 287 Gratefulness, 500 happiness, total: 787
  • Stigl: 287 Gratefulness, 500 happiness, total: 787

This is just our first estimate. We will go more in deth in the future.

NOTE: This is only pogginess regarding Luna and Stigl's friendship. Pogginess according to the universe may vary and will be in a future chapter.
