But Spellbinder, consider what Founder said:

So, as of now, creating RPGs does not cost a thing.


It's done nothing as far as creating RPGs and stuff is concerned. I think the system has, despite that fact, worked quite well. It's made me work harder to make good posts, and I've seen lots of effort in other RP'ers too. I think it's worked well and is a good system, and that if you don't like it, be happy that it doesn't cost you to make new RPGs anymore. The only difference is that there is incentive to make better posts if you want to increase your points and so forth.

I think it's worked perfectly.


You don't get it. You back them because you helped design it. You back them becuase they're your friends. And this has nothing to do with my wanting to create an RPG.

I don't think any of the mods are stacking the points. We're assigning and giving them out as people make really well thought out, planned posts that aren't chalked full of grammatical errors, plot holes, random missions, side-tracks, etc... that's what we're looking for. The number of points you have correlates DIRECTLY to how you measure up to those specific ideas.

Yeah, I'm a big, consistent supporter of the mods here, alright. Ask a few of the mods what I've thought about the moderators in general in the past. I've been a hater quite a bit in my history here. My support for this program has nothing to do with Founder being a mod, having power, or being my friend, or because I helped design it. As a matter of fact, the way it's turned out, it's hardly my design anyways, for there are these different levels of ships, you don't need to spend points to start RPGs, and so forth. It's very different from my original design, yet I still genuinely like and support it and think it's worked well. Not to mention I think they've instituted this program very fairly.

Why are you complaining anyways, Spellbinder?

Let's see. We've got points going up this way. I've bolded the MODS and underlined YOU.

Republican_Man (+174) + Type XI Phasers
ILoveHarry (+183) + Quantum Torpedoes
Valathous (+199) + Quantum Torpedoes + Temporal Sensors + Transwarp Engines + Phased Cloaking Decvice
Ziona (+206) + XI Phasers + Quantum Torpedoes
Spellbinder Marik (+423) + Romulan Cloak + Anti-cloak scan
Lord Borg (+477) + Type XI Phasers + Quantum Torpedoes
Founder (+596) + Anti-Cloak Scan + Type XI Phasers + Transwarp Engines
La Forge (+628) + Type XI Phaser Array + Temporal Shielding + Romulan Cloak

Take a look there. Two out of the four mods have fewer posts than you and two out of four have more. You're in fourth place. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. You beat out Ziona and everyone below her by MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED POINTS!!! What is there to complain about? Shouldn't we all be complaining, then, for not having as many points as you do? Quite frankly, that's just ridiculous, stating that points are being stacked and you're being treated unfairly, when the evidence is absolutely contradictory.

Quite frankly, I think people like Founder deserve more than they have.

Sure thing. I didn't know it was taken care of.

I know this wasn't Required but I'm doing it anyway. I'm issuing a public apology, aimed mainly at Founder but to the rest of you as well. I suspect some of you may not think my word or apology is worth anything becuase it keeps happening. You'd be right to think that. Trust is something to be earned and if I were in your position my actions here wouldn't be worth trusting.

I jumped to conclusions before I had all the facts and that caused grief for people. I'm sorry for my actions on this day.

I just wanted to make a BIG thank-you post to Founder. Yes, some of the other mods have dished out points, but no one has worked as hard to make this system work and as hard to give out points to us all as he. Of this I am certain. He takes the time to read every post and to thoughtfully give points to those posts which he believes deserve it. And then he adds up the posts.

So, thank you, Founder, for all your time and effort with this program. I think it's gone quite well, and without you, yes, we wouldn't have the program in place in the first place, but we wouldn't see the process work anywhere near as well as it has. So, thank you much, my friend

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.

I know what you want....

Keep that on the down low, RM.
