Reputations

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

How convenient: I'm eligible to attend Elrond's council and I'm only 30 miles (and a half) away from Rivendell. It's much nicer to walk there when you know that you're welcome.

Me too. But wherever I get reps, I really appreciate that you are bothered to tell me when you liked something I said.

Congrats to Lalwende on...being stalked by petty dwarves. Let's hope you can't reach a level of being stalked by pretty dwarves.

I suggest we all pointlessly rep Lalwende just to find the next level.

Davem has now reached the point of wondering about the rep system, by the way, congrats to him.

Ah, reputations... As TGWBS once said, you certainly seem to get points for modding WW games.

My last rep was for a particularly emotional post in an RP. My character has taken on the role of "prisoner" in order to sneak the group into the temple (the men are dressed as royal guards), and she's just experienced hatred from the masses for being one of the Faithful.

Before that... I had a long line of reps either for WW games (people love it when a wolf successfully tricks the villagers) and for commenting that Noldor taste like Tuna.

My own reps tend to be for side-splitting laughter inducers, for very well written newbie posts, or for random other reasons that "seemed good at the time".

Has anyone noticed that things that you think will give you a lot of rep, often don't? And that when you post something you think is mediocre(sp), you yield many points of reputation? I've seen this in my personal posting.

Or maybe its just because I'm assuming how others will take things, and then am extremely dissappointed when they take it another way. I guess its more of me anticipating(or in extreme cases: expecting ) rep than anything else.

That is so true. I try not to think of reps when I post, but when the thought creeps in & I think I'll get repped quite a bit I usually don't, & when it's something not as good (in my opinion), I usually do. I guess that's the beauty of the rep system...plus it discourages me of posting for reps because I never get them when I'm looking for them.

I think I have maxed out on this - my most successful (in rep terms) post ever has been me capitalising on a joke waiting to happen in Crazy Captions. The Potato stealers were going to feature there at somepoint and I grabbed the chance first when the pic feaured a field. Little effort lots of credit. And thus I deprived the Downs of the genius observation of one of my kind correspondents that they were the "Bonnie and Clyde" of the downs. I shall never think of them as Lalwende and Davem again.... !!!
