Painted_Doll: I don't give a shit about rep points but why this post of mine was downvoted ?
Probably for posting in that thread. Seems like everyone gets downrated there for little or no reason.
I saw a giveaway a couple weeks ago where every single post was downrated.

At least this thread is safe (with the exception of Pimp a few months ago :-\)

maybe we should do some giveaways to people who get downrated... that could work against the downvoter(s) ? :)
The one that gets downvoted the most ... maybe I'll ninja gift this poor fella? :)

Would suggest avoiding anything to do with the rep score side of things.

I don't go by rep, I go by who I know.

yeah, you are probably right... sometimes reading about this whole downrate thing seems so kindergarten... wish it stopped...

That's an accurate description. I wish GOG would gut it. Replace it with post count, something.

Rep is unfortunately way too open to abuse and seems pretty redundant. When you go to a new place of work/school everyone isn't wearing 'rep' badges - you work out who you want to hang out with yourself. Its the same here. If you like a thread you visit that thread. The only thing rep does is give a chance to anyone who feels like being unpleasant to piss someone else off. Uprepping because someone does something good - like here with gifting or the general friendship, humour and help that circulates - is FAR less valuable to me (to the point of being worthless) than the thanks someone gives either privately via chat or openly in the forum for whatever's been said or done. Rep could be binned for all I care.

On a happier note, I just took my first exploratory steps into the world of FRACT....

Fascinating is all I'm going to say, but if pressed I would add beautiful as well.

Thank the frigging gods, the card works again...

Now I can complete my Ys series and finally get Lords of Xulima off my list.

Agreed. You have to get to know people. (Which is so frigging weird coming from me.) The weight a people carries is based on their character, not a number.

+1 for this. I can see the advantages of a rep system. Maybe it would help to make the votes public. At least this way people with alt-account-armies could be exposed more easily.

Sound working ok in FRACT, I hope?

This might sound odd to say, but my library is looking lovely at this point.
Wouldn't go so far as to say sexy, but it looks really good. =)

So far its fine. It really is another world. Try and get your sound issues sorted, you'll like it :-)

Sexy would be OK, or full of zazz :-)

Glad you got your card back.

I tried lumino city... took me forever to solve the first big puzzle :) but it's quite relaxing an experience... made with real cardboard, how could it suck ^__^

-laughs- The second one works.

Wasn't really expecting Ys 6 to be on sale, so that counts as a pleasant surprise.
Was also going back and forth on whether to get standard or deluxe Lords of Xulima, but seeing how many extras they added in, I feel better about buying the deluxe.

Thank you. =) Me too, getting blocked 5 times recently was a bit much.
Don't think it'll be a problem again for a while, at least. Firek was working with the payment people to get them to calm down, not sink their teeth into my ass quite so readily.

Also, I'm about 10 hours into Letter Quest. I think you'll like it. The mix of RPG-type upgrades, multiple difficulty levels within the standard game and general gameplay is fun. (Even if I start to feel slightly dyslexic as I click letters in backwards sometimes.)

*Have a nice evening hugs!*

I'm off for some beer, Glühwein and Firefly rewatching with my wife :-)

And have a nice weekend too!
