BotBrs are given three types of Aura pnts each time they vote --
 light points for voting above average
 ack points for voting average
 dark points for voting below average

All n00bs start with a single light, dark & ack point.  =D

splitting points --
Like on Wall Street!  Once any type of Aura pnts exceeds 512 all Aura pnts are halved and truncated.  In a major compo it could be 18 entries x 5 categories = 90 votes.  Multiple Aura pnts can be earned per single vote depending on the spread between the average vote and the BotBr's vote.  '[[Voter strength] does not affect this spread.

'[#[Aura Map of Colourz]
'[i[20[r]BotB can open up the image at right and probe for color via coordinates.

To find scalar coordinates --
scale = 256 / (light_pnts + dark_pnts);
x = light_pnts  * scale;
y = (light_pnts + dark_pnts - ack_pnts) * scale;
if (y<1) y = 1;

BotB is watching you!!  o__O
