I didn't get capitalized?  What do you mean, Jaros?

Also, I've been here since around the middle of 2000 or so.

So Kvetch... its pretty easy?

I vote for Thwack   

On another note, I like the restring machine.  Then i won't have to change my shoelaces myself...

If people are worried about abuse. Then simply can add a lock to it, a way for hero's or imms to blacklist people who abuse the machine.

We still have heros?  Why?

As someone who DID participate in the socials contest, I think its a good idea!  And jaros is right, it's not going to cause any problems, just perhaps make some people some money and give more interaction as opposed to non-targeting emotes and poses.

After 50 remorts on one race, you could be 'reborn' into another race and start collecting races like you do with classes.  Then maybe you could get the bonuses of each race on top of the bonuses for each class.  I start as a spacewolf and complete 50 remorts.  Then I am reborn as an elf.  I could keep whatever dam bonus perk a spacewolf gets, but then also have the stats of an elf as i am that class.  Say i complete another 50 remorts and turn into a gringo.  Then I get the perks of spacewolf and elf, but now i also have gringo stats.

I guess in doing this, you'd be reset to tier 1 level 1 with 0 remorts each rebirth, and would essentially have to reach GM and get to 50 remorts.  This way though, you're collecting race stats as opposed to just adding bonus points to already buffed stats, and you're starting over which helps level the playing field a little bit for newer characters.  Although, being reborn, you should get to keep everything you earned up to this point.

Also, this would give us a chance to look at races and make them a bit more unique if need be.

I'm not going to mention any names, but someone said something like this online yesterday about this topic...

If you're getting anywhere close to 500 remorts, its not 4D that needs incentives, its real life.

I've been around 10+ years, and for you to call us lazy for not getting over 100 is actually a little sad...

Now that timers actually work and things crumble when they're supposed to, that fixes part of the problem.  But there are still artis on people who are never going to log in and have their equipment crumble, which causes a problem.  Unless you don't have to be online for them to crumble, in which case, ignore anything after sentence 1.  Hell, you can probably just ignore this post all together, I'm sick and half asleep while I'm writing this.

Did you seriously just talk about getting 500 remorts?

Does cybering with one's self count?

It depends on what you mark for the poll

Yes, it helps retain newbies because it makes sure the current CL is actually active!  It also rids clans from having too many unnecessary CLs.  Which in turn means those people have normal (clanname) flags in the who list.

Also, please scrap Retired CL flag, no need for it!  With as few people as there are, we dont need tons of CL and Retired CL flags flying around.  One or two CL and everyone else as normal members will just make the clans look bigger. 

Its like getting a physical from a doctor with small hands... *cough*

now...

Loria is the winner!

*confetti*

Here is the official posting spot for both Loria and Once to submit their poems.  Remember, entries must be added by Sunday, July 17th, midnight PST.  Entries posted past that time will be disqualified.

Well?  Can we get this idea going?  Its one of the few things we're talking about that really doesn't require any coding (unless we go ahead and remove retired cl, which as I said, I think would be good  )
