Post count- Why do we care?

[fett527]

As it should be. He's the only person I have ever 'met' that I can honestly say knows the rules better than I do, and the best at defending the correct interpretations that I know, period. For some real fun, read the thread where he and I double-teamed jgbrowning together

Was that the one where the thread title got changed?

but Hypersmurf has the reputation and track record. he's been around longer and his opinion will bear more weight. It will be that way even if when you have a similar postcount.

I never see any of Hyp's posts unless someone quotes him.


but then again i suxx @ teh rulz

Oh, and I've been known to draw the Hivemind actually *on* a topic (blasphemy!) like when I learned a lot about PbP from talking to them, so I'd say its definitely not just artificial inflation.

you can do that in other threads that are going to get better respoinses and help out more people that....

I think you are imagining it.

No. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been ignored since then, whereas before I was rarely ever not ignored.

So, what about that story hour challenge?

I'd suppoort Rystil on this as my experience has been similiar

Yup. It was great fun. I got an e-mail from Hypersmurf partway through because he wanted to coordinate our strategy, since I kept following his weaving of rules arguments to their secret trick at the end and he wanted to instead lure our friendly adversary into a trap

Nah, I had Jdvn1 there and he was being talkative and helpful about the topic

Very funny! Unfortuantely, I do not have a ton of time to read and post (for instance this is definitely the most posts in a thread I have had outside of story hour, rogue's gallery or pbp) and I'm pretty sure it was above my two-page limit by the time I saw it. I read it long enough to read how the title got changed. LOL

I don't know... I listen to Hypersmurf because the man has shown time and time again that he fundamentally knows the world. I dread the day I get into a rules discussion with that man. That's the definition of fear right there.

Crothian OTOH, has a lot of posts, but I don't weigh his opinion on any specific topic more than anyone else, really. Although if anyone has their finger on the pulse of gaming and d20, he does. Look at how many books he's reviewed for crying out loud. That alone makes him an expert in this area.
