Is the max single set *FANS* in BWT limited to 1,024,616? I'm in computers and this looks a lot like an octal number type of thing :-)

EDIT - It says SCORE in the OP and I meant FANS ... sorry about that.

Cheers!

Like, can you earn more than that while playing in a band?
Yes.
Absolutely, yes.

Sorry, re-reading my original post I should be more clear.

I'm in a BWT band with one friend of mine, playing expert guitar and bass. We seem to max out on 1,024,616 fans, regardless of an all 5* 3 song set list or a 12 song set list. The only way to get more fans in a single set list seems to be when the game offers up the "charity event" for twice the fans.

So I was just asking, is this some kind of cap on earned fans?

Cheers!

I think he's referring to the amount of fans you can acquire during a set. My highest band is at like 23 million and yeah, that's about what we get every big set.

Edit: Was typing this as he was.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I think you're probably right... it's been a while since I've played BWT, but I recall seeing a number fairly close to that time and time again. Obviously there's the exception of the DVD-deals and what not [fan multiplyers]. But as a raw number, I imagine your theory is correct, Sn3ak3rp1mp.

That's the highest I've ever gotten as well.

I think the computer number would be 1,048,576, although it's close to something expected.

agreed, 1,048,576 = 1024 * 1024.

1,024,616 is the most I've seen for a single set (aside from the specials), though that number doesn't seem to make much sense to me in the computer world. It's divisible by 8, but that doesn't mean much ;)

Hmm US Patent #1024616 is a "Machine for the electromechanical reproduction of drawings, writings, photographs, blocks, and the like" from 4/30/1912. Nope, that can't be it :)

I could have sworn I've gotten more than that (~4-7mil). I'm sure it was in a special arena though, like Reykjavik or Rio de Janeiro.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it was for a single song as well (Green Grass and High Tides?).

Give it a shot, but of course I could be wrong.
