RE: New Splinterlands Contest Rules & KE Indicator: What It Is & How to Improve It (ENG/ITA)
I have my reasons not to like this indicator too much, when applied to individual accounts. It works well for a one-account user. In my case, for example, I have a KI of 0 for my staking account, and a KI above 8 for my posting account (where skake is fluid and not my primary goal to increase it, as it is for my staking account). Of course, one can calculate a composite KI on multiple accounts. If I take into account my staking account and my posting account, my composite KI is 0.62. And would be lower, but I powered down my posting account for any potential small term speculations on the regular P&Ds until the end of the bull market.

An indicator being the result of a mathematical calculation has no soul and therefore particular situations does not consider them but it is a good indicator if it works 99% of the time especially in a context like Hive that has so many variables.
For example consider that this indicator is only one of the factors that the Splinterlands curators consider.
In your case it is obvious that KE should be calculated on multiple accounts because you have an active delegation from an account that has the same name as you and so even in your case, if applied to your two accounts it returns a value that identifies a great hiver and you are one.
In the specific case of Splinterlands contests this indicator will bring so many benefits because so many accounts have KE =20+ some even 40+, do not have Splinterlands assets, do not interact on Hive but participate assiduously in contests for one reason only...
Even for Splinterlands contests, the same remarks need to be taken into account, if players have different accounts than their posting account(s). But overall, if special cases are taken into consideration, it's a pretty good indicator that shows who only extracts and who intends to grow their account(s).
