Something I have always wondered about BA (in General)

How come when I take a break from CB, say an hour, I log in with amounts of BA that don't add up to the refresh rate? For example, I get 10 per refresh right now, and 5 refreshes later I logged in with 51 BA. This kind of thing always happens...why is that?

Call me curious I guess :D

FAQ #6


Q: Is it possible to get less BA than I normally would at refresh time?

A: Yes; when your BA is (re)loaded for various reasons you will get BA proportional to the amount of time passed; it is possible to get fractional amounts of the normal refresh rate this way.

N * 10 + 1 is the same as (N + 1) * 10 - 9
