Reputations

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Ten whole points. That's a formidable member you've offended there, Bêthberry. If you're not careful you'll be back to 'getting the hang of it' before too long.

Serves you right for talking posh. Rather than risk an accusation of euphuism through a potentially equivocal use of the indirect question, it would have been more felicitous to employ the more lucid prosody that is a sine qua non of electronic discourse. After all, there are some people who wouldn't even understand the foregoing sentence, which exemplifies limpidity.

I don't expect that putting God in quotation marks helped, even to point out that He was missing His customary capital.

um... I for one?

Let's try and translate, though:

Instead of talking posh and being accused of pomposity, cause the question there may have been misunderstood since it sounded like having more than one hidden meaning, it would have been more appropriate to use plainer sentence construction, which is one of the requirements when talking over the net. There are some which won't get this one either, though it is a good sample of what clear talking is

There, I hope it is more or less corresponding

Hmm...got to wondering last night...if one year of being Dead = one rep point, do those who joined in "1969" have 34 points just for that? Or...not?

Well Lal is now back on Taniquetil.

Alas, alas, Eomer, what party would I join? Once upon a time there was a Rhinoceros Party in Canada ... but only in Canada. Would you be thinking of starting up a Wargian Party?

Always the grammarian, eh Squatter? Actually, I wouldn't be too surprised if I do start 'slipping'. I've actually for some time now been expecting something like that to happen as in my experience the reps I receive have at times been somewhat random.

You're a braver man than I am, Heren-Din, taking Squatter's words and putting their facsimile in his mouth.

I would just like to take this oppurtunity to thank all of you who gave me reps for the WWIIX game. I didn't quite expect that many... for losing! Imagine if I had won...

I also want to point out that there are 31 downers who have now acheived the once coveted eleven boxes! I am very new to the number.

It was a secret goal of mine to achieve eleven before the first page in the Members list was full of such highly reputed members. Alas, The Squatter came up and passed me just prior to me turning to the Straight Road. Congrats to you Squatter, you stole my goal, as mundane and pointless as it was.

[Glirdan]

I would like to at this time thank all those who repped me for my "Crazy Captions" posts. I was really, REALLY surprised at that. But all the same, thanks. And thank you to those people who got me to being "As Faithful As Samwise"! Thank you a lot.

Just found out - the negative 'power' is half that of the positive. I.e, if you get 9 negative points it means that if you were rated positive by the same member, you would have got 18

Just an info

Fascinating. And how did you find this out, HI?

[HerenIstarion]

Rated my alter ego negative and than checked up alter ego's CP

[the guy who be short]

Poor Roggie.

Eomer now steals taters. May your coming revenge be sweet, Horsemaster.

[wilwarin538]

Congratulations my dear Eomer! I myself am this close to getting my tenth box.

EDIT: Ok maybe not that close, but I did just get box #9!
