Lost L+ at lvl.50 due to my stupidity, with around 4860 white stones now according to scroll of balance.

The problem is, PV is too high now for any whip to work, and if the unofficial formula is correct, it seems I get only 2% of any alignment gain from actions at lvl.50. In the very rare case whip of slaughtering got through, it gave no gain. 2% of 5 points of damage is very, very low...

Tried healing a companion in the watery cave, no gain at all after nearly hundred tries. Gave around 100 herbs to a beggar, I finally I got a few points. Gave a thousand coins to a beggar, got one point.

Is the alignment stored as a floating point number internally, or is it an integer? In case of the latter, wouldn't that mean zero gains for any action that would give lower gain than 1 after that "2% if positive" is applied? Effectively that would mean that giving anything less than 25 blessed stomafilia herbs or $1000 to a beggar at once is just a waste, as any gains would get lost to rounding?

Thanks.
