As a result, it's a lot easier to get very high reputation with a good joke thread than it is with a lifetime of doing small, helpful things, and it's a lot easier to get very low reputation by holding an unpopular opinion, however justified it may be. Most posters with any meaningful amount of posts (from when reputation is introduced on) will have average reputation (if any at all) because they've been exposed to too many of both instances.

    Realistically speaking, no-one outside of posters with ACTUAL reputation, like Samuraiko, Arcanaville, Philotic Knight and so on, are going to have anything close to meaningful reputation, and at that point we may as well rely on good old-fashioned "people know and respect this person," rather than a numerical representation of votes.
    Sam has shown me the LIGHT! Praiselujah Hallelord!
  2. ROFL! At least one person is scrolling thru dead threads looking for things to ding with neg rep. I just got one on a post I made a couple months ago. How sad is that? Someone needs to get out of their parents basement and get a life cuz I'm certain I've offended people a lot more recently than that.

    I pos rep people I think don't deserve bad rep, and PK because it annoys him.

    I have yet to neg rep anyone because anyone I think deserves a neg rep isn't worth the effort it takes to give them neg rep. Why waste a neg rep on some scmuck when I can give approval to someone else.

    Need more slots

    I wouldn't mind more slots per server but you won't get a second account you can transfer vet rewards to.

    I believe that when you see the name empty it's because the account has been banned after the email was sent to you.

    I think the one you want is called Miyuki Gravel (or something gravel) colored blue. If you want the ripply water effect then you need to use the slow field.
  7. I got a neg rep because someone apparantly doesn't like the pic in my sig. I figure if that's the only thing they can think of to dislike about me, then I must be doing pretty darn good.
  8. HOODY-HOO! I got a neg rep because someone doesn't like the pic in my sig! SWEET!

    I hope that's true. It'd just cement my worldview about the people giving me -rep.

    While we're at it, for any of you who fancy ever criticising me, and you don't think it'd work out well in public, or can't find an appropriate place to do it - feel free to PM me. I'm not nearly as scary as you might think.
    Not scary? You obviously haven't seen yourself when your not wearing pants.
  10. What does grey rep mean? I have some red, some green and 1 gray.

    It was supposed to be a tip of the hat to Monty Python. So what would you like pooftah changed too?

    There's always hope that the devs may change their minds on this feature, but so far it seems they don't want us to be able to do it without jumping thru some hoops.

    Yes, I could on both counts. I just don't want to be more self righteous or less helpful.

    Then how did I get a mission in the woods just a few weeks ago? I'll admit it was on a level 20 character, but it was still in the woods.

    It's still a good QoL that they changed most of the mission doors.

    Maybe he simply likes the color red more than green.

    The Ocho is rewriting the rules? This will be great. I can see them now . . .

    Rule 1

    The Ocho is always right.

    Rule 2

    When in doubt see rule 1.

    Rule 3

    No Pooftahs.

    Rule 4

    There is NO rule 4.

    Rule 5

    No Pooftahs.

    Rule 6

    From now on no one is allowed to abuse the AE babies . . . if there is anyone watching.

    Rule 7

    No Pooftahs.

    Sever population

    Also in the beginning didn't the most populated servers automatically list at the top of the server list?

You cannot be lv 50 and get it ( I think technically you can if you use Oro but that takes a -lot- of knowledge to do that ). Come on guys, just help the new guy who wants to learn the game.

    The mission you want is behind the wall. I hate those missions and rarely do Faultline because of them. There is a door to get you behind it, but know how to describe how to get there easily. Perhaps one of the other vets can help you if they can get of the AE-complaint bandwagon.
    It wasn't a complaint, it was an observation of cause and effect. To be a complaint I would have had to have expressed a grievance or resentment.

    And they also removed a lot of the deep placed maze doors in perez from rotation a while back. You still get a couple but they're of the relatively easy to find variety.
    It's an exaggeration. Yes, we had these requests before the AE but since the AE there has been a surge of them because we now have a larger number of new players that spent the majority of their gameplay doing AE content rather than regular content. That's the way things are now.
