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.

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 10 seconds or less in runtime, with perhaps an exception to Un-J's Cube 2: Hypercube).

Class E: Someone's pulling his leg 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, and KKyuubi's DAIKENKAI YAY!, because they are animutations after all).

All this is meant to support and supplement Cicierega's First Law, in which anyone can call it animutation (Class D and above), unless he is clearly pulling his leg (Class E, Class E minus, Class E minus mimus).

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
