Wartysian Factor

The Wartysian Factor, invented by Animutation Portal member Wartys Neryon, is a classification system measuring the 'animutation-ness' of an animutation. Although relatively arbitrary, it can give prospective viewers of an animutation a more detailed idea of what to expect when they see it, when coupled with the Poiuytic Scale.

This scale, like the Poiuytic Scale, has nothing to do with the quality of the video, but rather, the level of animutation that it acheives.

As explained by the creator in a review for YIKES! The Music Video on the Animutation Portal:

I am going to make a measure called the Wartysian Factor. It will be this way:

Class A: Pure Animutation

Class B: In many ways, Animutation, but not really

Class C: In some ways, Animutational

Class D: Few Animutational elements, but still not Animutation.

Class E: There is not a single thing Animutational about this.

Examples

Class A: Wizard Power

Class B: Seeing Jesus H. Christ

Class C: YIKES! The Music Video

Class D: The 5th Avocado on AlbinoBlacksheep

Class E: The Decline of Video Gaming on FlashPlayer.com

The Wartysian Factor Redefined

On May 1, 2006, Wartys Neryon himself posted in the Animutation Mailing List, after going through the first concept (as mentioned above) a couple of times, the redefined version of it. The final (as far) definition of the Wartysian Factor is as follows:

Class A and a half: Purely Animutational, with at least one recurring character in general

Class A: Purely Animutational

Class B: Mostly Animutational

Class C: 25%-75% Animutational

Class D: Some, but not all (or something with less than 10 seconds runtime, with perhaps an exception to Un-J's Cube 2: Hypercube [or whatever that is anyway])

Class E: Someone's pushing his luck to call it Animutation

Class E minus: Not even a pop culture reference

Class E minus minus: Not even Animated (with a high exception of Indogutsu's Foo-La-La, because it is an animutation after all).

All this is allowing for Neil's old saying that it is animutation if the work is referred to by the author as animutation, unless he is clearly pulling his leg. Class E and below is meant to be the level where whoever submitted the work and called it animutation is clearly pulling his leg.

Examples

Class A and a half: Wizard Power

Class A: JaDa

Class B: Seeing Jesus H. Christ

Class C: YIKES! The Music Video

Class D: The 5th Avocado on AlbinoBlacksheep

Class E: The Decline of Video Gaming

Class E minus: some reach this level

Class E minus minus: rarely any flash product reaches this level

Trivia

• The E minus minus is meant by the creator as a Strong Bad reference to one of his emails, for kids
