Family system

Can someone explain this to me? My friend doesn't exactly know what he's talking about so I'm still confused as to how this works.

So since I started, my friend added my Blaze Wiz (level 42) into the family. I used this blaze wiz to add my friend's friend. And so on, until I got to my f/p mage (10 at the time). So now, my f/p is level 51 and the blaze wiz is untouched.

My blaze wiz has not gained any rep since my f/p was level 4x (I don't remember what level as I did 42-51 that day).

I thought rep was only halved when I leveled over the senior? Or what's going on here.

As a reference, the tree goes like this as of recent:

Slinger (52) -> Blaze wiz (42) -> bowman (26) -> warrior (17) -> my f/p (51)

Only 1 and 2 juniors below you can get you reps. Hence, since your F/P is 3 generations below, your blaze wizard will not get reps. However, your bowman and warrior will earn reps.

Oh okay. That clears up things. My friend really didn't know what he was talking about then, since this was the exact thing I didn't want to happen when I asked him how this system works. =|

So much for the "bridge" i planned out lol

Thanks.
