Status: offline 		FR - my regret at turning the thread in such an analytical direction is that by deconstructing the spirit of the thing, and analyzing people's motives for joining in, some people might become self-conscious and inhibited. I just didn't want to take the fun out of it for everyone.

Also, I'm thinking that such a noble and considerate gesture should be good for at least 20 points. But that, of course, is just a minor factor in my reasoning. I swear.

Nice try, but you're late to the 'attempt to bribe NZ in this thread for points' party. I already canceled the distribution of points in the rest of this thread.

But I agree, it is becoming an interesting phenomenon to watch, in an unexpected fashion. Or it was until I walked into the room and threw a bucket of cold water on it!


After going back and searching for your points, I have your tally at 90. At very least, consider that you've earned the right to toss a bucket of cold water.



Jeez, I feel badly about putting you to the trouble. But just out of curiosity - because I'm always intrigued by useless technical trivia - how did you search that? I don't use the search function here much, because it never seems to work when i want it to do something even remotely complex. Sounds like you've got it mastered, at least to a greater degree than I do. I'd be curious, if you've got a moment to expound.

Really, it get very convoluted and involves potential powderkegs of volatility. My avatar is at it is for an apt reason.

No problem at all!

I started by searching all posts which I had authored, using the keyword "points". That gave me a sizeable set of links to verify and from there I started seriously tallying them. For some reason, though, those search parameters fail to find every instance.

When I know of a certain user that I'm searching for points for, I instead use their username as the keyword. Doing so with your username, for instance, yielded links to posts where I'd given out those 90 points...none of which were shown when I'd searched using the original parameters.

Status: offline 		Ah! Not so complicated after all, then. I don't use search functions much at all, but for some reason CM's search has always seemed so hinky when I do use it that I  kind of lost faith in it altogether. And seldom even crack it open at all. But yeah, that's pretty straightforward after all.

Also, it was Leadership, Calla, & Davan that started the 'points in sig line' bandwagon, I'm pretty sure .. ... Davan might have been first, but it was several months back, I'm also pretty sure . . . . . .


NZ, please correct me if am wrong on this:
You started proffering points prior to your ascension to status of CM Sex God Du Jour. 
I think Jeff (Leadership527) gets the credit for starting the points total in the sig line phenomenon while NZ and I added reference to his (NZ's) deification almost sultaneously (He was first) but slightly after the beginning of the awarding and documenting of points. 
2 separate events (Deification and points) that happened in rather close proximity if I am recalling properly.

I'd been giving out points long before the unexpected deification ceremony thread. I brought the habit with me from another site's message forum, although I never fine-tuned the tallying and point system as I have here.

I am pretty sure Jeff was the first person I can remember having added the points to his sig line. Kia's right, though...it then began with you and Calla joining in on the fun and, well...considering my honor with having garnered friendly favor with people with the "CM rep" of that magnitude, it started catching on.

Hi, Kia----
Oh, believe me, I'm aware of the negativistic dubbing and the decision to 'take it back' (In the immortal words of Randall in 'Clerks 2'); when you're having that private chat with NZ, you may wish to ask him to fill you in on the details.
