Why are we all goblin sharpshoters level 2? What does it mean?

[MerricB]

Wait until my group hears about this. I have always been an XP scrounge in-game, to their eternal frustration. I think they'll get a kick out of the fact that I am likely the only poster of 70,000 on ENWorld that has negative XP, and a little red dot to prove it.

I think Rel has negative XP as well.

Cheers!

Ack! Lemme see if I can give him XP, so that I can be the One True Lich God (tm)

"One Lich to rule them all...."

What I find even more interesting is that there is at least one poster with a tiny red box. The popup says something like 'can only hope to improve'. Is there a way to lose xp?!

When the XP system was first set up, yes. It was soon rectified though.

 

[Orius]

Now I must post and see my level.

Second level. Fair enough.

You can see your XP under your user CP without having to post.

 

[Edgewood]

Interesting. I gave you 1 XP, and you're now 38 XP and level 4.

You gained a bunch of recent XP from a nominated thread; Morrus said he was having trouble getting that software to work properly. I guess it gave you XP without updating your title.

Cheers!

Mighty kind of ya Merric. And right back at ya!!

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

LOL.

Does my title mean I strangle bugbears? In that case, you're safe!

Cheers!

I am not convinced either way. If you're a Strangler of Bugbears, why shouldn't you want to strangle an Orc? If you're a Bugbear, why shouldn't you strangle an Orc!

I hope you become something trustworthy in the end, maybe a Level 8 Angel of Valor or so... (Of course, with my luck, you will pretend to be a level 8 Angel of Valor and are in fact a Level 6 Doppelganger.)

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

OK, now I know how this all works...

I'm a bit disappointed because I'm only 2nd level, and I know I have a treasure trove of really witty and/or well reasoned posts...

OTOH, I know I've made some real boneheaded ones as well, and rejoice that we all started from the same zero point.

We did, right?

(*twang*...thus dies another Goblin)

A new question arises in me, though: is is possible to view all of the plusses & minuses, or are we limited to just viewing the latest few?

 

[Dragon Snack]

I would rather be a Kobold than a Goblin (or even a Bugbear)...

Any chance of an opt-out?

You can see your XP under your user CP without having to post.

Where? I must be missing something (I see posts and posts per day, but no XP).

Click on the "My Account" link that appears on every page and you'll be able to see the last few times people gave you XP along with the XP total.

If you then go to Edit Options from there you'll see where you can opt out, or turn off the XP system for you.

The switch to opt-out is in your account section under "Edit Options".
