the upkeep i spaid out of your total rep u have. in order to promote yourself to unlock adam, u would have as a minimum 800k, if u did nothing for 1 whole day (as in nothign to earn rep) u would have at start of day 2 798,800 rep.

This is why u shoudl particpate in baal/cerb and other events that earn rep, so u arent going backwards in your rep total.

hope this makes sense to you now
