Rep inflation

[Rain Man]

I would like to share today my policy paper on rep.

Have you noticed that rep inflation is running rampant? As people get rep, they're also able to give more rep, which then produces more people with high rep. In the old days, rep might have accrued at a level of 20 to 40 points per repping, but now it accrues at 100 to 150 points per repping.

With so many people maxed out, it's possible that rep could become meaningless*, like German deutschemarks in the 1930s. People will be using wheelbarrows full of rep just to buy a loaf of bread.

This worries me. I don't want chiefsplanet becoming the Bolivia of rep. Something needs to be done. As the self-appointed Greenspan of chiefsplanet, I recommend a negative rep war as soon as possible to rid ourselves of this nefarious problem.

Oh, and I'm raising interest by a quarter-point, too.



*Heh-heh.

I got 148 pts for my first post! Rep is great!

[Dave Lane]

I think Phil will be along shortly to impose deflation on you once again. I think it will be your 3rd rep life so I think only gochiefs can top that one.

~and may god have mercy on your rep soul.

When I was a newbie, I had to shovel six feet of BS to get 148 points. The only people who could get more than 40 rep points were Woodrow Wilson and Red Grange.

I've been born into the age of devalued rep. FWIW, when I first started looking at what everyone's green bars meant, everyone was an icon, who's feet I should kiss. I thought to my self "What a bunch of self absorbed assholes!" I'm went on to find that I wasn't wrong, and it was nice to find a bunch of other self absorbed assholes.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Remember when mom wouldn't let us play with our rep in public? Now we've got it hanging out there all the time for everyone to see.

Disgusting.

You forgot John Wayne, dumbass.

[Iowanian]

I think all rep should be zeroe'd out...points that is...comments and links should stay.

Start over today, and limit rep given to like 5 per week. Make them EARNED.

[Dave Lane]

Its the Weimar Republic all over again.

I agree. Society is on a downhill run. Joan Rivers said look at Brittney Spears and what woman are wearing today.














What are hookers supposed to wear now???

4 positives = 1 rep point.

1 negative = no change, just comments.

Oh, and neg rep from a Raider fan = 10 full rep points.

[yeti]

I have obviously missed out on the rep handouts.

[Rain Man]

I've never seen proof that you really exist, yeti.

[Raiderhater]

*Heh-heh.


I found this very humorous.

The last idea is a stellar one. :)

*Heh-heh.I reccomend devaluing the Rep. Simply have the Central bank call in all old rep and replace it with new rep valued at 1/5th the old rep, and denoted with new moneykers. This will alleviate any rep illusion associated with old forms of rep. Of course, all this should be supplemented with a new rep PR campaign to facilitate acceptance of new rep. All old rep will be decreed by fiat to be worthless after a specified period of time and therefore must be turned in for new rep.

In order to avoid a collapse in the banking system, all rep debtors shall receive a rep debt Holiday, and a rep repayment schedule from the International Rep Fund, which is funded by rep members of the World Rep Bank.

[Rain Man]

I like bunnytrdr's ideas. I think we're in a rep bubble right now, and it's going to collapse around our ears if we don't take immediate action.

[Calcountry]

In other words, if you contribute to the Planets Gold, you get a magnifying lense through which to distribute or deflect rep.

Sometime in late October...triple witching Friday or some shit.

Can I trade in some of my Iraqi Dinars for rep? They're about equal in value right now.

Wouldn't it be neat to have a Chiefsplanet ring that said "Chiefsplanet Icon: Kneel and kiss this ring."

If by "neat" you mean gay, then yes.

Rep had become meaningless due to the incompetence and lack of foresight of our present regime. They've allowed our nieghbors to oppress us and use us a a pawn for too long. We will continue on this downward spiral unless new minds with fresh ideas and prudence take over this convergence.

Follow me to a bigger and better society!!!

HILE!!! I mean YEAH!!!


I blame Rain Man’s comparison to post WWI Germany for this post.

In other news; The debate rages amongst economic intellectuals on whether the Fed should use rep as its main guage to determine inflation. The Townie school of thought, holds that "post inflation" is a more accurate measure of the strength of the planet, while the Rainy school of thought holds that it is, always has been, and should remain, a basket of rep goods, that is the measure of true inflation.

Bush lied, rep died.

I lay ancestral claim to the rep of any Austrian posters.

[jspchief]

I haven't put much thought into the fact that there are "points" that go with rep.

I just like the comments, like : "Neg rep for you, Dickface"

[Calcountry]

I lay ancestral claim to the rep of any Austrian posters.I think that the Panamanians should pay us back the Rep we spent digging out their canal.

Its ours, we dug it, we paid for it, we defend it!!1

An Austrian lowland gorilla? I'm growing a little suspicious of you.

Saul threatened to kill me once in a rep comment.

Not really. But you can kiss the ring of our collective ass, if you wish.

[teedubya]

why not just remove the maximum? Or if you are worried about overall rep status... change your name to 1Rainman, and you will be the #1 rep hero in all the land.

Hey! I've seen you in the phone book!

[teedubya]

Im thinking 1 Arrowhead Drive would be a perfect rep name.
