Visting Test Results

Since some of you showed interest in my "intensive " Visiting Tests  ( I sprung 20 Levels to get the Strength necessary to do it)  I thought worthwhile to mention I just blogged about my results at: My Views on Visiting Based on my Test . To make a long story short : the CIs seem to be awarded based on a random / pseudo-random number of "Charges" ( Visiting Bonuses) without much regard as to what is visited ( Locations, Starred or not, Mini-Games or Totems; Visit Backs, active or inactive Friends) ... I will continue to keep Visiting stats on the average number of Charges needed to get a Reward CI. It is around 34 in my current situation.( Level 188, Mechanics Reputation Level 77)

The only thing that MAY have an impact is to Visit Locations where the Friend is Ranked at 3 or less (called NO COLOR in the Results table in the blog entry linked above0 .  Upon reflection, it would make perfect sense that the Game gives a slight incentive to visit lower Ranked Locations since it is a "help" bonus that is much more significant for a Level 20 player than for one above Level 200 ...  But even then the difference in CI Rewarded is minimal at about 10% more CI for the same Strength spent.
