Round 3: Team: There Will Be Blood -versus- Team: What ITTY Humans Call 'Love'?

[Mr. TM]

That is how I started my rep empire.

 

[Fizzy]

highest non-mod rep right?

 

[Murfish]

Really? I thing I became stagnate around that time. I didn't get any from the thread...probably because I didn't rip CCS a new ass and I did argue both sides.

 

[Mr. TM]

I mostly said what I believe in, and told CCS to not be silly.

People respect my forgiving God.

 

[Murfish]

Don't know why, but my rep has experienced a surge in the last month or so. I gained like 3000 points in those few days...trippy.

 

[Mr. TM]

It really has to do with the fact that as regulars reps have risen so high, they inflate others reps as they rise. Like me, I can give 130+ points to someone. That is two bars to a n00b. It probably is more than possible to get full rep in a day.

 

[Fizzy]

Hey mind stop bragging about your rep?

 

[Murfish]

I know. I mentioned this somewhere. If rep continues to rise we'll have a exponential rise at some point. Rep begets more rep points begets rep which begets even more rep points.

 

[Mr. TM]

Hey mind stop bragging about your rep?

no one is bragging about rep, just a discussion on the ramifications of it.

I know. I mentioned this somewhere. If rep continues to rise we'll have a exponential rise at some point. Rep begets more rep points begets rep which begets even more rep points.

its a positive feedback cycle really. The least we can do is make full bars up to a certain amount of points instead of the easily attainable 1500.

 

[Murfish]

It is.

What we should have is...no it wouldn't work.

 

[Mr. TM]

what is your idea?

 

[Murfish]

I was going you say you put a percentile instead of bars, but then I remembered how many posters have no rep.

Virtually everyone with a single point would be in the 98 percentile.

 

[Mr. TM]

so what would be my percentile?

 

[Murfish]

99

See? It doesn't work. Now I need to think about this.

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

I'm the second highest repped never to have been a moderator. TM is first.

 

[Mr. TM]

99

See? It doesn't work. Now I need to think about this.

99 base on what?

 

[Murfish]

99 as in you have more rep than 99.999999998% of rest of the posters here.

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

I do too. Yay.

 

[Mr. TM]

99 as in you have more rep than 99.999999998% of rest of the posters here.

Oh I fully understand.

Still, those bars are shiny. I don't know if I could depart with them.

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

500 Points for a dull bar, 1000 for a shiny.

 

[Bernkastel]

I'm the second highest repped never to have been a moderator. TM is first.

I was at one point ranked 5th over all in rep

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

Then you stopped posting.

 

[Bernkastel]

Then you stopped posting.

pretty much, I still post occasionally though

 

[Mr. TM]

Yeah Ech, you used to be one of the people that I always looked at as one of the top members. May I ask why you have left and become a casual?

Work, school etc

My life became so hectic that I found myself with much less free time to devote to the site. This summer I have quite a bit of free time being out of school and my work schedule being less hectic, though it'll pick back up here in a month or so.
