Alpha sucks at typing...if he's at my house I end up typing for him

that really means "I'm not really sure what reputation points are. I'd have to ask Jack, but since I'm not able to talk to him often I'll E-mail him...ok maybe not"

Erm....that made absolutely no sense.

That's why I translated it when he types it almost never makes sense...I know him so I can usually tell what he means when he types.

Ah...I see. Reason prevaileth.

Isn't it weird, that a few months ago, most people were like "What the hell is rep?!?!" and all of a sudden, rep points are going off the charts. Maybe it's just me, but....

*whistles* *everyone is looking at her* What? I had nothing to do with it!

Anyways...yeah, I did notice that. It's really strange since at that time everyone was stressing that the rep system was no big deal. Now people are like "Gimme rep!"

I should give you all negative reputation points for bragging about reputation points. I get the feeling this could get as bad as post counts...

Well...post counts you can get on your own. Rep points require people to give them to you, and for that you need bribery.

Well, we only have that nondescript "user is on a distinguished road" rep level accompanied by the never-changin green square, and the list is vague at best, so unless everyone starts posting their rep level in their sig I don't see more than a temporary nuisance coming out of this, if anything.

Addendum: I think the one or two times where a user had "user can only hope to improve at this point" were when those users wanted to see what happens if you have very low rep and had everyone give them negative.

Addendum 2: That thing about the sig was a hint. I'd rather you guys wouldn't.

Well I like rep I think it's fun to look at the Members List now and then and sort by Rep points. I used to be in 9th now I'm in like 13th or something. I don't ask for Rep I just hope to get it to have it. Wow Shiney passes Krylo in Rep! When did that happen?
