Ok Yet another day yet another experiment this one measuring the effect of lifespan hits. Guess what... I FOUND SOMETHING!!!

Ok First I found out that all my pixies who have not serious temper Always spit when I scolded them and the pixies that have normal tempers always threw a hissy fit when I scolded them (hmm.....)

Using T6-T10 Pixies (refer to Monster Rancher Metropolis: Monster Rancher 4 Archive (PS2): Miscellaneous Q&A (Post New Questions Here) : Pixie Lifespan Tests for more information) T10 and T7 sat this one out as baseline pixies. Heres my logs.

8mo1wk: T6 Scolded 5 times
T6 Frustrated
8mo3wk: T8 Scolded 5 times
T8 Frustrated
T8 Scolded ANOTHER 2 times
T8 Irritated
8mo4wk: T8 Frustrated
T9 Scolded 5 times
T9 Frustrated
9mo1wk: T9 scolded 4 times
T9 Frustrated
T9 Scolded another 3 times
T9 Irritated
9mo2wk: T9 Irritated
T9 scolded 6 times
9mo3wk: T9 Retired at age 4yr1mo3wk
10mo1wk: T6, T7, T8, T10 Retired at 4yr2mo1wk

The pixies were rested this whole time. I kept all variables that were in the experiment the same.

As you can see (or not see) T9 Did take a 2 week lifespan hit but nobody else did. I dunno what to think of this data but I do know this needs more testing. Another Test another day. Happy Ranching

Thats pretty good to know, have u tested any other types of monsters.

No other types of monsters have been tested. I have other things I'm doing. Doesn't mean you can't test them though

Harrabcat, would you like me to start testing other data?

Let me know the methodology, and I'll start working on getting more numbers for ya.

Unfortunately In this field getting numbers involves hacking, which involves long tedious hours pushing buttons, changing things, reseting, and repeating. I don't have a gameshark but if you do I go by week by week of what I did with my monsters. Go ahead and test away J
