Hmmm, got an usigned positive rep (yay for positiveness) yesterday at 11:06 PM CST worth 64 points. I think I've narrowed it down to Oddwn, Nilp, lmp, or possibly TGWBS. Although I could always be wrong...however unlikely that might be.

Detective work is actually fun.

Thanks to Nilp, I am finally also shivering high on Taniquetil. Strangely enough, I'm actually quite proud of this virtual achievement. And of course grateful to all those thoughtful persons who helped me up there. (Yay!)

You may be surprised. Some people have a way of floating off the site and then floating back again in a few weeks or months, or even a year or two.

...And if they do, just think of the warm happy feeling they'll get when they see that little reputation. I think you've made a friend, Gurthang

I'll be bursting your detective bubble, Estel.

It was the keyboard's fault! Honest!

EDIT: Or at least I think it's me. I could be wrong, but I'm sure I accidently hit the "Enter" key while repping someone around that time...

*does a quick count*

Yep, it's me.

Wow! Thanks to everyone who just got me up to Taniquetil again. It's been so long since I checked I don't know who it was but thank you all!

Actually I had you in the original list but I thought you had given me a rep not to far back worth 65 points & this one was worth 64...oh well, I guess I don't keep track of the points closely so I have a good excuse.

Thanks for the rep.

Like investment capital....

The value of ones rep may go down as well as up......

I had a foolish and shallow little ambition to climb the peak of Tanquentil before the end of 2005. Thank you to those who got me there....and happy new year to all.

If you're certain with your counting, then that's really odd, as I see no reason for that to happen unless I deleted a large number of my posts to less than a thousand or we moved back a year in time...

But you deserved it, in any case.

Just bear in mind that an unsigned positive rep may mean that the donor does not want their opinion publicised rather than they were forgetful....

?Unsigned neg rep is a different matter .. now that I have experienced it I think that unsigned with a comment is actually more annoying than a blank response. Personally, it makes me far less inclined to take what may be a valid point on the chin if the person correcting you doesn't put their name to it.

I was wondering...

I've noticed that the vast majority of the time when I post something that gets multiple reps, all of them tend to come within a couple hours after I post it (or if it's late at night, all of them come overnight) - very few if any come in after that. I would think that, being as spread out across timezones as we are, the reps would be more spread out as well. Has anyone else noticed this?

I got an unsigned positive rep for Palantir the other day. Not just unsigned in fact but uncommented. Neither has ever happened before. Still, it's a positive rep so woo!

And yes Firefoot I had noticed that but it happens less with me. It does seem odd but perhaps you post at a time when there are lots of people from lots of differen timezones?

thanks to Valier for her rep about my siggy, the basic story behind it is that me and some friends are actually forming a webcomic, so i might have a little section about the adventure of Gil-galad, which would have my weird moments and my funny moments of my comedy-ensuing life. hopefully it will be up during this summer if we get to work on it
