That way you get the public kudos, no me-tooing, but people don't have to write their comments to appeal to everyone who reads the thread and they don't get just as much attention as the person who actually wrote the post.

I'm just one point shy of Erik Mona! I will crush you Mona, better watch out.

Thank you to those who helped me steamroll Mona. Now I'm just 4 points from usurping Master Rouse!

I do not think we should touch declaring a character class for our leveling even with a 10' pole. If we do that, we will have flame wars as people dispute whether RangerWickett has a high enough Wisdom to be a Ranger (sorry, turnabout for the earlier Scion of Drunkenness comment ). That will lead to wars about what system to use to determine our individual stats; 3d6 straight, 4d6 drop lowest, 28 point-buy etc. Following that will be the war about which edition to use to determine the required stats, and whether a Bard can be level 1 before they are a 5th level Fighter/Thief/Druid and then whether a Thief is a Rogue and a Rogue is a Thief war, followed of course by the apocalyptic Vanilla versus Chocolate War where the Strawberry people are offended by everyone else.

"You must spread some experience around before giving it to renau1g again."

Seems I was the one paying it forward...

Oh, one more thing - apparently the XP awards are not subject to ignore. So if you have someone on your ignore list, you can still see them when they give XP.

Diaglo's gonna wonder who all these people are.

Why stop there?

When signing up, choose a class; note that you're stuck with your choice once made. Your ExP titles then echo those of the class you chose.

I like that. Or instead of pleasing the masses with choices that will cause a headache on his end. Keep it simple such as using an edition every two weeks. Gives a little something to everyone.
Week 1 & 2 is OD&D Fighter names.
Week 3 & 4 is BECMI Fighter names.
and so on rotate through each editions classes. Most on here will have fun watching changes. Or if the 2 week rotation is too quick do it on a monthly basis. Heck even through in levels from other systems.

Dude, that's a savings of $0.12 a year.

But if you think nobody would notice it, all you need to do is write a computer virus that sends each of those $0.12/year to your secret Swiss bank account, and you're set for life! Or until Superman catches you.

You laugh but this happened in the Marine Corps. Two programmers took the Fractions of a Penny (left over) out of each Marine's pay and sent it to an account. Took two years to catch it within the accounting systems. This was back in the late 80's.

If that is plausible, I think that would be the best of all solutions. Shows what people have thought of the post and if you want to know more you can click on it to see.

Particularly if you have a grudge from other boards . . .

Hey everybody! Look who thought each different board was a separate universe, with some implicit presidential pardon for crimes committed elsewhere!

Hey everybody! look who gets banned from the thread for rudeness to someone else!
