Since we all know this rep system is gamed out I started thinking about a way to spice it up a bit. Saladface in his infinite wisdom broke the rep system with his Rep Whoring thread. (Well done, sir) Is there a way to really dump someone from 8 boxes to 5 in one day?

Any neg rep these days is basically a pot-shot. Negative 10-60 points max only to be brought back up by 4 or 5 two point pos reps from the whoring (hormone) thread. At this point repping can only really be effective en masse.

A few people have embraced the e-thuggery of multi-repping with the same message (Nice try, but not effective) and that is where comes the inspiration of this, my proposed, new rep game.

Imagine real catasrophic rep...

Rep Wars!!!

There are three main roles in this game and few rules.

ROLES

The General: Recruits Soldiers. Tells their Soldiers who is the receiver of rep, whether it is pos/neg, and what the message is.

The Soldier: Basically selects and obeys a General.

The Spy: Selects a bogus general but uses their commands against them for their own General.

RULES

The beauty of this game is you can play all three roles and have the multiple reps to use per day.

Generals can make alliances, Soldiers can Spy, Spies can be Generals... and whatever your little heart desires.

Most of the strategizing will take place in PMs. You may send your message to up to 5 people at a time. Separate multiple user names with ';'


Let the games begin!

Yeah. Nice in theory but too much effort in application.

I guess Gayopoly suits everyone better.

I saw a cool feature on NMA-fallout where people nominate each other, and themselves for an award, which is a very small picture that is added to one's signature. Awards can be either negative or positive, and have a point value.

There is a committee who decides what awards are approved to be created, and whether the nominated award(new or old) is assigned. Overall, I thought it was a very clever system. I don't think it would fly here, though, without a Mod/Admin getting behind it. Does it have a point? Not really. Awards were like the “Pothead” award, which is an obligatory 5 points and a pic of a MJ leaf, or the Emo award, which was that pic of the fat kid with way too much blush. -10 points. The awards were given based on the content of posts made.

People seem to enjoy reputation as a passing novelty. This is a bit less arbitrary, and far more authoritarian, as the committee decides which awards are made, and who gets assigned them. It looked like fun, and was completely voluntary. There was a fair bit of code behind the whole process, so again, I don’t think it could get started without staff help, which seems highly unlikely.

No, it was stupid in theory too. And how predictable of you to try to insult us for your crappy idea.
