Okay, just want to know if I am pissing anyone off. I've gotten about six growls within two weeks.
Anyone want to come clean so that we can talk about it out like adults?
-
Pssh.
*looks at own growls*
.....Pssh.
-
yeah, but you have been at RAtC for about two years and I barely have half a year under my belt.
-
It's okay Emmy, I'm beating everyone but Mike :) (and in the past two months I've gained over thirty. Sooo :) )
-
Joe, the two years doesn't count as Mike reset them last year sometime, not long before you joined the game.
-
Yes, so in only a few months I've gotten that many.
-
O,0.....
and I thought that I was getting on others nerves.....
-
Not as much as Kat or I do, apparently. :P
-
Must be a girl thing. :P
-
I blame Mike.
-
Mike has more than either of us ^_^
-
For the growls or that it is a girl thing?
-
Hmmm, does Mike count as a girl or a gay?
-
Yes.
-
either way, I am sure that he could kick your ass danny. But don't worry, I'd jump in to save you... unless there is guinness involved.
-
Well, most gay men actually try to keep themselves in shape. Exercise is an interesting concept, to me, but I believe it's best done by contemplating it from a distance, preferably while asleep....
-
what i don't even play in this game and i got more then most.
Dan
-
what is the point of them
-
Dan, that's because we like to kick you when you cannot kick back.
Dave, there's no point. They're just silly little things that add to the 'forum experience'. Or some shit like that.
-
There was talk of resetting them a couple of years ago, but they never were. The numbers you are looking at are the original numbers for each player. Guests are allowed to howl and growl too- anyone with an account on the forums can, so it could really be anyone.
For those who used to be around in the original days of RAtC, they used to be called "Props" and "Smite." The overall feature is called Karma, and it is a feature of Simple Machines, the software we use for our forums.
Do people think it's time for the numbers to be reset? If people are not happy with the feature, it can be disabled.
-
Mike said he did reset them...?
-
Hmm... apparently, it was (http://rageacrossthecape.com/forums/index.php?topic=1798). Well, it's everyone's call if it's time to do it again.
-
Unless I know what people are expressing approval or disapproval of, and why, the fact that people have made a note of one or the other is not really useful information, at least not to me.
(... this is me saying I don't care if they're reset or not.)
-
I think it's neat. But is someone else has an issue, I wouldn't cry over it :)
-
*echo*
-
Karma essentially boils down to an "I feel good about myself" or "I feel bad about myself" number that can't really be measured accurately for the reasons Conor stated.
For the time being, I've disabled Karma altogether. The numbers are still in there though, so if there are strong arguments to bring it back, we can, with or without resetting the totals.
-
The more I think about it, the more I think it should stay disabled. All it does is give people an (in all likelihood false) idea of how much they are liked and/or disliked in our game. There is no way to determine how many people howl/growl at you, nor is there any way to know how often or rarely each does.
-
:-( And I was going to bribe you with cookies too....
-
I'll bake some, too!
No idea exactly what I will use them to bribe Marc for, though...
-
I don't need growls to know that people don't like me, thankyouverymuch.
-
Growls? Those little +/- things? I'm supposed to pay attention to them?
Since I can't tell why I get them, I can't use them to improve my board RP. I just ignore them.
If anyone would like to encourage/discourage certain types of RP with me, feel free to send me a PM.
Thanks,
Ken

Ummm, stop being like a really cool Ahroun CoG, the rest of us can't measure up....
-
could be worse, could be a Puerto Rican Wendigo.

Im pretty sure where the influx of growls came from,
Emmy what was it like 2 months ago I watched my growls go up by like 10 in 2 days or something like that? haha
I wore my growls like a badge
To me it means I was breaking minds and taking prisoners :)
Just my thought
