Tackling Larger Sizes (Patreon)

First of all, thanks for all the support! Didn't expect Queen of Cock to get this popular, but I'm very happy that there's so much participation!
This has, however, revealed a flaw in my calculations. I had severely underestimated how many Doubles would be thrown in here, which means that we burst through the universe in the first round (I expected this to happen, but not until the end!). This has created two problems: A) How to carry over size from match to match, and B) how to retain a sensible way to compare sizes.
A)
I initially planned to increase the size gained in every tier and carry over the end result to the next match by simple addition. However, I realized that we have a problem; for a giga-hung waifu, the size gained in tier 2 may be so small next to her universe-dwarfing length that it might as well be a rounding error. This would be *fair*, but boring, since she'd effectively remain static.
The only way I saw to fix this is to gather up all the 'base' size from votes and then double that up by the exponentials; in this sense, we keep the votes and the Doubles seperate and add them together from every tier. In this way, votes still have an impact; by increasing their magnitude (ie. from +10 to +10000) they will be meaningful, though exponential doubles are still king—a lesson for next time to stick to a smaller multiplier, but I won't change the rules midway. Resetting sizes at the start of each match would also be a way to solve the problem, but would be unfair since I already established that size would be carried over.
B)
Much as I love insane size and numbers, we need something more meaningful for comparisons. I don't subscribe to the 'continually larger multiverses' naming convention, so I need to bring it back to a scale where I better compare the waifus against each other and the world around them. My best idea is to compress the sizes with a logarithm; a log2 transformation seems most fitting. This will mean that the waifu's outward size will be compressed with a base of 1 meter, and every 1 meter that they grow bigger, they've effectively doubled their true size.
I plan to include flashes of their true size in the matches, but I think I can swing this in a satisfying manner. Wish me luck!
If you have any comments or suggestions about how otherwise to handle this, I'll be happy to take them.
