"number of people allowed to follow = people following me * N"

Makes it tough to get started on Twitter. If I sign up, I want to find my 10 closest friends and follow them right away.

It'd be good to introduce a formula, but that one isn't quite the right one. Maybe a velocity based solution?

with an "more than" clause, or with exponentials you can solve that.
