Thanks, whoever you are, for the anonymous rep for the Assigned to Mordor rpg. Nice to know somebody's reading it besides us players and mods....

Valier · 02-17-2006, 11:09 AM

Thanks for all the reps! I'm just 5 under 1000!! Oh and I'd just like to say I am not Strange!!! (ok maybe a little)

Oddly enough, I got one too. Perhaps there's a serial, uh, nameless ATM repper around?

Tevildo · 02-17-2006, 12:41 PM

This is getting mysterious. I also had an anonymous rep for the Outracing the Flames rpg. What's going on?

Same here!! but it doesn't bug me as much as an unsigned neg rep....

Thank you, misterious repper!!

Oh, come on, BD'ers!

The reps are designed to be given to POSTS not posters . . . AND they are designed so that one can choose to be anonymous.

Just enjoy the fact that someone thought a particular post of your making was funny/well written/well thought out/& etc . . . and leave it at that . . .

Here, here!

One should give without expecting to receive in kind, otherwise the giving is selfish... or something like that. I think I'm trying to say the reputation system shouldn't be used as an ego booster for givers... but for receivers...
yeah... Just ignore me...

Me four and ditto.

Pio, we usually only wish to know in order that we might thank the person for their kindness. Since it's impossible to do so directly we do it through this thread.

Too risk stating the blatantly obvious - people may wish to give anonymously. That is their right.

Personally, I hate it if people publicise my reps to them here - so much so that if I notice I ask them to edit their post. For me it is a private gift not a public award.

While I usually sign my reps this practice would encourage me to rep anonymously anyone I couldn't trust to be discreet. I ALWAYS sign my occasional neg reps.

Indeed Mith! But this way they remain anonymous, since they don't have to own up to it.

Good point Hookbill, I like to see that I have received a rep it makes me feel good that someone took the time to read a post that I have made. And in turn I like to thank that person. But alas, if this person wishes to remain nameless that is ok with me.

Thank you annonymous repper!!

Oh yeah almost forgot again. Talking about not signing reps that's what I did yesterday, am I red in the face

. All of the people from the last ww game I repped would have "great game" in the comment box. That was me...I'll finish giving more out from that game today.

Glirdan · 02-17-2006, 02:39 PM

Oh my! I go to school for six hours, come home and I find about seven new reps!! How flattering!! I thank you everyone for reps for the last game and that 1 rep from Saucy for my 1st deathday (

). It sure does pay off to make it to the end. Thanks everyone!!

Exactly!! someone took the time to read my post and found it rep-worthy... I won't obsess (spelling?) over an unsigned positive rep and I'll try not to over an unsigned negative rep (no promises) yet I like to thank those who take the time to rep me... and it has helped start "friendships" with some posters.

I agree.

I'm sorry Sauce. I would have thanked everyone through PM's, but I just don't have the time (or patience right now) to do so. Don't beat with your pans!! Or worse yet (as Rune would do

)... Beat me with an Orlando Bloom film!!!
