~*STORY TIME*~
A long time ago in a TCoD FAR, FAR AWAY, there was this neat fiddly feature called reputation. For a while, it was used all of ... effectively never. And then Butterfree? was like SUP LET'S MAKE THIS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. And it was good.
Only I, as always, had a small group of cohorts who, like me, typically got very angry at people for stupid reasons and would forget it after about a week.
There was also a really awful spriter called AgentChronon.
Now, someone who shall remain nameless was like HM I THINK I WANT TO LOWER THEIR REP BY A LOT POINTLESSLY. Which was all fine and dandy as far as I was concerned! (I am not exactly the most moral forum member.) Only you can't fiddle with the same person's rep twice in a row. You would need to fiddle with two other people's rep before you could mess with theirs.
In a move that made complete sense afaic, e decided to raise my rep, lower his rep, and do something to $person3's rep to give the awful spriter possibly the lowest reputation on the board. (Said awful spriter was also an asshole so it's okay I guess.) This also gave me the highest rep on the board.
And so, I went on a quest to obtain the most tiny green boxes possible! And found out that after you got like ten boxes, you would get a BRIGHT GREEN BOX. And the title "Glorious Pillar of Light" or something stupid like that.
The problem with this is that fiddling with reputation scales with the person's rep. So if I pressed the button at all, it would either raise rep by around 500 points (this is a lot) or lower by 250.
Cue wank. There was an option to HIDE YOUR REP which was all well and good except that the only people who ever did this had negative rep. (Usually this was because I pressed a button. Occasionally it was because $lab_assistant pressed a button. Sometimes this was because someone actually was annoying and deserved it! ... but usually it was because I am a cruel and vengeful god.)
As far as I'm concerned, this was all completely hilarious and I was very sad when it vanished. (MY BOXES!!) I am possibly the most biased person out there.
So #tcod now has a karma feature! Which made me think of rep.
Reputation was totally awesome, yes? Or at least it was totally awesome for my posse and pretty awesome for bystanders and awful for the people who actually took it seriously who I pressed the red button at instead of the green one.
ANYONE ELSE WANT IT BACK 8D I promise that in the event rep returns, I will ... actually I'll probably abuse it again haha. But this time everyone would know I AM THE MOST AWESOME or possibly the moderator who breaks things the most often. (HOWEVER I AM TRUSTWORTHY WITH MOD POWERS ALMOST ALWAYS I SWEAR)
