It's because some of us feel sorry for you and your lack of actually PLAYING Shadowrun.

(hmm... Might have to contact Harebrained and see if they can't put a "bug" in the system that won't let anyone named CanRay get beyond the opening cinematics... ;))

I know Mike Stackpole's nephew - that's an in, right?

So, the suggestion is that instead of the current Rep system, you'd rather have it so that anytime anyone smites you, 1) there is a log of who smited you, 2) they have to have given a reason for that smite and 3) you want to be able to find out who that person is.

Yeah, that can't go horribly wrong on the internet.

Quote from: Smite Log
XXX smited YYY on 4/4/2012. The reason was : "because he smited me on 3/12/2011 for calling his dog ugly."

Not quite that far just a who and for what post, though actually having to type in a reason is a good suggestion. How are we to improve if we don't know what we are doing wrong? If I cross a line and offend someone I want to know, that's not what I'm here for.

Edit- I just got smitten and I have no idea why.

It warms my heart to see the community come together to ensure certain traditions are maintained (such as Canray's lack of actualyl playing a game)

That's harsh, but sometimes I suspect its random.  I'm torn both ways.  Like Angelone I would like to know why I'm smited (though in my case, I know it was a Clockwork conversation...), but then again, I suspect the random levels of maturity on the internet in general would just result in the processes of smiting becoming more and more personal, and that cant be good..

Megh thought of a neat way around this problem I`m going to smite myself everytime I log on 8)

Do we get a prize when our smite total is better than Just A Dudes?
An Awful lot of people believe a lot of very strange things indeed for no valid reason I can see. They can`t all be right but it is quite likely they all can be very wrong.

Alas the system prevents self smiting ( or patting yourself on the back dammit).

Happy to smite you Dave if you randomly applaud me.... However I suspect dude will find away to maintain his title.  After all, titles have power in the sixth world...
