You sure you didn't already know this stuff statusperfect when you asked? Considering you are a King ...
Anyway, looks like Oct 25 is still open. Could be a nice birthday gift.

I think I had the best explanation in layman's term too.
A and HP is no biggie, they are simply the level and how close you are to the next level.
Defense is related to your average post per day and how many posts you have collected. You have a D of 99 if your ppd is higher than 5 (or 6 I don't remember). But the idea is that if you have a high average ppd and high post count then even if you don't post much for a period of time your ppd will still be high. That's your defense strength.
Movement rate is the most interesting measure. It relates to how good you are improving your average ppd. So if you have joined a long time with low ppd, you'll have a low movement rate. If you started to become very active again, well you'll see your movement rate increases even doubles but still you will not have a high M for a long time 'cause it is hard for you to increase your ppd. On the other hand if you are a newbie who joined not long ago and is very active, well you will have high ppd and high movement rate. (Ever seen one with 99 movement rate? I have seen it.)

I think someone has a little bit toooooo much time on their hands. Time to get a job where they really work ya.
But thanks for the best and most concise explanation I've seen on this site yet!

Some of the earlier post stats threads linked to have the definitive explanations from MarkG and others.

Yeah, Spikey. I've read those. They give a poor explanation, at best. And the FAQ is really no help. (Maybe because we wouldn't have these threads, if the FAQ gave a thorough explanation)

True, I read and understood their definition, it's just that the way HongHu put it, now I understand their application and how a person's posting style changes those numbers. A, D & F were easy to understand, it was the M which was fuzzy.
edited for clarity

Yes, the last year my movement has decreased from 99 to 20 due to that I don't post as often any more.

Gramphos: You list your location as Chalmers, Sweden.
Chalmers is a school in Gothenburg, right?
