Don't get words on that list incorrect, or else.
or else you'd be thrown to oblivion forever...
It's items that you haven't seen in a while I think. It used to be all at once kind of thing but recently it seems the admin has implemented a new thing so it depends on if you answer right or wrong the last time you saw it. I think.
Then I am screwed, haha.- Don't quote me on that but since the new thing my oblivion list is about 500 items shorter maybe more then that actually.
The Oblivion list is linked to the new SRS system. A item will be in the Oblivion list, if the time you saw the item the last time is higher or equal to the specific SRS level and you can level it up on the SRS. (I think)
For example you answer an item on day one, then it goes to SRS lvl 1. This item will be "oblivion" after two days and if you answer it right, now on day three, it will go to SRS lvl 2. After you answered it now right it will be in the Oblivion list after four days. So four days later you can level it up to SRS lvl 3. (Day 7)
I hope this wasn't toooo confuising.
Also, for users who used this site before the SRS system was introduced around a week ago, everyone's Oblivion lists were reset at the time this system was introduced.
This means: If you never answered any questions since the SRS system was introduced, then your Oblivion list would remain empty forever! Only questions with ★ stats are able to go to Oblivion; questions you've never answered since the SRS system was introduced won't have a ★ stat yet.
So users who don't answer many questions each day will only have to deal with a tiny number of questions appearing in their Oblivion list; users who answer hundreds of questions each day will have crazy big Oblivion lists to deal with! ^^
Beeant sent out an email when the SRS system was introduced, but new users (and old users who no longer use the email address they registered with) will not have seen it. So, for each SRS ★ level, here is how many days the timer counts down before sending the question back to the Oblivion list:
0★ 1 day
1★ 2 days
2★ 4 days
3★ 8 days
4★ 16 days
5★ 32 days
6★ 64 days
7★ 128 days
The Oblivion countdown timer resets whenever you upgrade the SRS ★ level, which you can only do by answering the question when it is in the Oblivion list (when the stat for number of days since "last encounter" is highlighted in orange).
The Oblivion countdown timer also resets whenever you downgrade the SRS ★ level, which happens whenever you answer the question wrong (at any time).- Thanks mog, this eplanation is on a whole different level from mine. :D
