Version History

------------------------------------------------------------

[11/02/01]

Version 1.0:

*-> Had several sections but decided to stick with only

the affinity table because the rest could be found in

other facts.



Version 1.1:

*-> Updated the Q&A at the end.



Version 1.2:[2/13/01]

*-> Added Aromatherapy and Treatment Courses started

with Item Return table again with Archaeopteryx permission.



Version 1.3:[2/18/01]

*-> Got to the point where I found the rumor about

the genie gaining "affinity reading power" and I

made a second affinity table with it.. Interesting!

The return table list is a pain and still under

construction but I've added some more.

------------------------------------------------------------

Affinity Table

------------------------------------------------------------

How this works:

When you aquire certain rumor, you are able to get affinity

readings with the Sumaru Genie for 5000 yen, the genie tells

you about the affinity you have with a certain character

depending on the answer you give her to the 6 questions she

asks you. For example giving her 6 "Yes" answers will give you

the Eldest Satomi Sister as your affinity character and thus

she will give you discounts in her store! (Magazines cost

400 yen instead of 500 yen, useful when you wanna buy 99 to have

a chance to win something in those sweepstakes). Now, I made a table

with all 64 possible answers to the 6 questions the Genie asks you,

it works like binary code(because of the Yes or No choices), if

you dont know binary I'll explain after the table.



Remember:

1 = "Yes"

0 = "No"

------------------------------------------------

Questions I have regarding the comments made by

the characters of the reading.

**Irquic calls herself Akari? WTH? Im Irgri?

***The password is lovely?

*_*Huh? Knife seller?

*?*Makes every two-sided rumor the good one?

*!*This one is a MUST before you go shopping there..REALLY!(Padaparcha Store)





------------------------------------------------

Rumors about Affinities with non-store-owners

characters found on the board or emailed to me:



>From Tainted Beef:

the only thing that happens when you get affinity with party members

(aside from warm fuzzies) is that the damage during fusion spells between maya

and that person increases slightly. no changes in storyline or dialogue, etc.

------------------------------------------------



How binary code works:



Its all in the sum.

We give a value to each position: 32,16,8,4,2,1

We multiply the value with the number(either 0 or 1)

if its 0, the result is going to be 0 (32x0 = 0 )

if its 1, the result is going to be the value(32x1 = 32)



Examples:

-----------------

|0 0 0 0 0 0| = 0

-----------------

They are all 0's so we ignore them and add nothing to nothing.

(0 = 2nd Satomi Sister/Belladona)

------------------

|1 1 1 1 1 1| = 63

------------------

They are all 1's so we start to add giving each position its value.

>From left to right:

32+16+8+4+2+1 = 63

(63 = Eldest Satomi Sister/Tatsuya)



------------------

|1 0 1 0 1 0| = 42

------------------

>From left to right:

32+0+8+0+2+0 = 42

(42 = 2nd Satomi Sister/Trish)



------------------

|0 1 0 0 1 1| = 19

------------------

>From left to right:

0+16+0+0+2+1 = 19

(19 = Eldest Satomi Sister/R.Toku)



If you still dont get it...bummer..lots of books about

the binary code in yer library and plenty of info in the net.
