Reputations

[Bêthberry]

Well, I've learnt something this week.

Here is my "extremely positive boroughhobbit post . Three words. Over 35 rep points. Twelve plus points per word. Really, Crazy Captions is looking very good, as are other Mirth threads.

Is this good-bye to RPGs and Books?

I should hope not! A fair chunk of my reps are from Books, so I don't think it's quite fair to assume no one reps in that section. As for RPGs... I wouldn't know. I haven't been there in ages! *feels guilty* That's rather bad, considering I'm trying to become an author. ^^;

Although, for the Mirth threads, many of the posters are very clever; maybe we're repping the cleverness as much as we're repping the humour. Besides, what's wrong with having a renouned sense of humour?

Ah, so you notice a puzzle in my mind.

I do major repping in two forums: Mirth (majority of it in the aforementioned CC) and Books. By the time I switch to the other realm I usually have given enough reps to others so I can rep someone in the other field again.

But you, Prof. Hedgethistle, Sauce, Mithalwen, Rimbaud, and lately, Lalwendë, trouble this scheme of mine. You make excellent posts on both realms.

With this in mind, I wonder: how could davem still be on top? (not that I'm against it, of course.) Is it because his posts manage to make most of the top rep givers click that scale button? Has he created a program to double the points given? Do spiders rep him?

Hmmm . . . maybe those spiders are his minions, which also allows him to find excellent references on the Web.

EDIT: I forgot. Not all in ME Mirth give reps, or give relatively lower points.

Plus see the last sentence on his latest CBC post. So I guess that throws the spider theory out the window.

Nope. As ocassional scent of flower from a corn field may make us happier, so the ocassional humour embedded into the fabric of those sombre halls does. But you would not burn the corn field in order to plant flowers there - you'll get a lot of scent, yes, but there would be no daily bread to sustain you to enjoy it long enough.

Now if THAT wasn't swoon-worthy, I don't know what is. Rimbaud, time to share the glory. Fangirls, line up & take a number-- he's here & he's hot.

He doesn't post on Mirth because he's,sadly,too busy writing serious posts which get all those high reps - if they appear.

And he has other business which he cannot mention here - dark business which does involve spiders but which cannot be spoken of openly for fear of rulers......

(No, I won't explain that - you'll just have to ask Lalwende)

Fordhim, yes I think most of my reps have come from the things I posted in Middle-Earth mirth .

Either my computer is still screwed up in a way, or people just aren't repping me with a reply. I've been randomly going up 10 points but there is no reply, just blank. This puzzles me whether I still got gigs to work out in the computer, or that person(s) just doesn't give a reply (not that I'm complaining lol).
