Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm curious... so you people actually give out rep during WW games? I haven't, because I haven't wanted to influence the game in some way, but maybe it doesn't...?

The Only Real Estel · 08-08-2005, 03:58 PM

I try not to during the game. I think I started giving out a few congratulatory "great games" during the last DAY after I had voted for myself. At that point pretty much the only thing left to determine was whether Saurreg or Eomer was the wolf anyway (for those who hadn't yet).

edit: I usually do something like Morm only I usually try to find the villager's last post or their most significant post of something...it doesn't matter much. If I see something in particular I want to rep during the game I just write it down somewhere so I can come back to it after the game is finished.

I give out a lot of WW rep. Although I always do it after the game and at times I pick out a specific post other times I just find the person I wanted to rep and rep the first post that I find.

I generally give out WW rep after the game is over, or at least after the person I'm repping has been killed. I've been a wolf twice, and I generally rep my fellow wolves, as well as other posts/players I particularly enjoyed.

Speaking of Werewolf, a great many thanks to all those who repped me. I thought only the mod could have such a harvest of reps in that thread!

I agree! I've gone up several levels due to the reps I've gotten from this game. Thanks!

i had a scary thought...Nilp actually sitting upon high Tanquietal...*shudders*

(edit: okay... i never meant it, i'm never cruel with my jokes and you should know that, i'm not saying that Nilp doesn't derserve the rank, just think of Nilp's character being a Valar! its for humour purposes! i posted this to make people laugh, and it really hurts me when i suffer for my selflishness of thinking for other people)

Especially by the fact that I haven't left the first page of the Rep-ranks ever since it started. And before that, I was a relative nobody!

Thanks to all you people there. You know who you are.

Giving due to gratitude,

It made me suspect Kuru in WW1 but unfortunately not enough to overcome my greater suspicion of Fea.

I suggest that everyone avoids repping active players during a Werewolf game because, even if not meant as a hint, it could still be taken as such.

I agree with Teenage Wolf Pan up there. Given that whole clear hindsight thing everyone is always coining the use of... Even though my words to Lhuna were entirely ambiguous during last game's random unsigned rep, they still allowed her to see that she made someone happy with something she wrote. Not necessarily that she was right, but that she had back up. All I can say is I think I would have felt guiltier in hind sight had Eomer actually been caught for his base treach-wolvery. Since Lhuna's accusations were never actually listened to, I don't feel as bad because my mistake didn't particularly affect the game.

But someone else's might! *cue the scary music*

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-10-2005, 07:42 AM

No way could anyone stop those wolves.

I repped someone during the game, while that person was still playing. But I made it very clear that it was for the humour in the post (which was very funny indeed). It is risky to even say "Good post", though.

Amanaduial the archer · 08-10-2005, 07:48 AM

...And the rest of us? I've repped several WW posts in various games, simply because, as seen by the number of quotes that have reached signatures, some of the posts are simply so witty.

I find it interesting that I get more rep points now that i post only once in a while than in the good ol' days of frivilous posting
