OK, Guys!!! Time's Up. Our VERY close poll results showed:
Keep Karma - 7 Toss Karma - 0
Boy, that was a tight one! ;D Karma stays!

Snort! It reminds me of our computers at the front desk in the library. The reference computer has a big yellow button marked "PANIC!"

One could say you did it to yourself, because you lost all your karma when you wiped yourself out and had to register again. Now you're just going with the exaltation and smiting of the past few days.
So fear not. Nobody smote you a dozen times over.

Okay Tillie, I removed your zero for you.
You're welcome.
But rest assured, it won't be long before someone exalts you again and your karma begins to move up.

Now you're just going with the exaltation and smiting of the past few days. So fear not. Nobody smote you a dozen times over. Also, to put my record in it's most delicious state. I left you, Joe, for a sec, accidentally, and not on purpose when, in your Murrican words, ".....you wiped yourself out....."

Understood. You didn't know the gun was loaded.
Probably didn't even know it was a gun.
Computer stuff is like that.

Joe, I prolly didn't know 'twas a son-of-a-gun & loaded! But, I sure know you're smitten with me and not annie!
En garde! Now, I give you a chance before I start slicing and dicing a certain moderator's exalts!

As long as I'm not smitten by you.
I believe I've smitten you twice, and I told you about it each time.
As I thought, your karma is on the rise.

Karma:Posts ratios
What's your KP rating?
(I need to work on quality over quantity.)

Post by joew on Nov 4, 2006 1:00:13 GMT -5
At the moment, 17:349, which is just below 5%. Expressed like a batting average, I have a KP of .049. It looks as if I'd better start posting more poetry.

Post by slb2 on Nov 4, 2006 1:07:59 GMT -5
joew, I'm just five posts shy of your total, but 3 karma below you. Poetry ain't the answer. otoh, I do get my karma points in other ways, ways that aren't public.
<ahem>

joe, I just smited you, or is that smitted?, for writing such a sharply witty post about Jekyl-and-Hyde-chatters. It was so sharp it poked me! Ouch!

Yikes, slb! It had taken at least four days for me to get beyond the 17 where I was when we started looking at KP averages. Oh, well — hard to acquire, easy go.

Je suis desole, mon ami. But at least now our karma is even. Although I got karma-ed today by someone?

Moi!
I have frequently been smitten though - in the nicest possible way.
But I have never given anyone a smite. I wouldn't know whether to do it backhand or forehand, volley or smash.

I have a request. I've noticed that the karma ratings, for me, feel like something I no longer need to play with. I didn't cast a vote in the poll above for a long time. Today, on my own behalf, I cast the one "no" vote. Not in judgement of the system or the game, but in respect for my own need to send ego a message of, once again, "Remember? We're surrendered. No human grades - just allow God to guide." This is the "Nun of Everything-and-Nothing" talking. She cleans bathrooms, does dishes, turns the compost pile, and meditates. She's asking for her "Karma" to read a constant zero, or to be not registered at all. Thank you.

Trusty is out of the loop for a while, and I have no idea if he could disable your karma ratings anyway. You might want to PM him when he's back, with a request that he zero out your karma.
Otherwise it will take a whole lot of smiting to get you to zero. I'm willing to do what I can, but I'm not sure everybody will be able to restrain their impulse to exalt you.
Maybe you'll need to change your Personal Text over at the side to "No karma points, please."

"No, no Br'er fox. Please don't throw me in the bramble patch!"
Sneaky way to get more points, C. Heh. Am I keeping up with you?
I know what you mean though. I try to avert my eyes and remember where each member stands in my heart and not someone else's evaluation. Geez. The concept can call up those old seventh grade popularity games.
I'd watch the underdogs and just hurt for them when they'd get their daily literal and figurative smitings. (Met a lot of them later at the State Hospital, halfway houses, treatment centers.)
But if you want to risk that kind of outcome I will be more than happy to smite you for your own good. What are friends for?

Do the points get spread to the remaining Chatterers? Do the points simply dissipate into the ether like soap bubbles? Worst case scenario would be the rapid release of points to fly around the room, whizzing and ricocheting 'til they catch someone up along side their head. If this is the case, we all should be wearing protective headwear. _E_
