Don't make me laugh! What about Internet Relay Kombat? It just seems every dragon point is given to whatever you happen to want to promote, not individual things made by regular users. The dragon point system is inarguably not just. Why do you promote things with the incentive "You'll get Dragon Points!" if you in the same time blame people for seeking for these "cheap points"? Does it even matter what you believe the users are motivated by, as long as the effort and outcome in the end are the same?

For the record, I don't do many things for these Internet points whose value is determined by a web community. But sometimes I'd actually like to get something along the way I post. Other forums have this post count, even when quantity doesn't equal quality, but that's at least something y'know.

you gotta lot of extreme feelings locked in there

I feel like smashing in everyone face and stomping on their testicles sometimes but I manage to keep it all in


You though are one emotional man and you aren't afraid to let it out

stop being angry

Eat some ice cream.

The thing i was angry at went my way for once and i am getting better!

could it be

a turn for the better?

yeaa(:

Always a good choice.

It's a rewards system for users. Yes, getting involved in promoted events is something we're happy to reward you for. As noted, points haven't become at all inaccessible (often through these events), but we have adjusted the focus of what's involved, and restored them to a time when they were a bit more significant (or special).

At present, points favour activity and exceptional input in a lot of different arenas of the site (not always visibly). This is significantly more even and fair than recent eras. SOTW, which started without points, is nice, but wildly out of proportion when 3 points are going out week after week, year after year, often to the same small handful of users. Points and user ranks are here for everyone, not just people cutting and pasting images into a horizontally inclined banner. Which is something we'd hope everyone wants to do because they want to do it.

We don't have a post count for the same reason we aren't giving points out for every kind gesture, or URL. It only supports a torrent of insincerity. You just aren't going to get mountain bikes for a C grade anymore. We want the MKOmmunity to be strong and true and self-sustaining because it's cool unto itself. None of this, of course, should take away from the fact that a lot of work is put into supporting the community and encouraging growth. IRK isn't my secret source of power -- it's a community activity. There are lots of others and if you're desperate for points, you know to travel out into the MKO world and find them. You more than anyone, notorious seeker of points and other.

Can we just drop the dragon points system?

I think it sucks and a whole new system for rewarding users for good actions toward the community should be created
So should the whole rank system

I really hope v8 does this, I don't wanna see the same old dp system used over with a new coat of paint

I want something well thought out, fair, deserving, and fitting for mko

i like DPs but they are so hard to comeby anymore

plus i sucked at getting them back then.

i will never rank up no matter how hard i try

I think there are interesting possibilities to be explored in wurst. Perhaps we could investigate the potential of the 11th century oxfordshire currency of eels? I'll get our best people on it, see what pans out.

Unrelated note:

I ranked up in like 3 months and that was it

I thought I would like it but I dont

I hate that little icon with that thrustive fist, I feel shameful having it stamped on every post I make

You don't want that

Because you could be stuck with it for YEARS, the dragon points will become rare, you will be a fister forever

take my advice, stay a mortal, theres no shame at all in that

this is what greed, fame power and desire does to a man, it fucks him in the back, starts of slow then goes ludicrous speed

I've been a mortal for so long I'm an oxymoron.

the pee that took a poo

This man is hilarious.

My Grandpa died about 3 hours ago. I don't know what to do. My Mom is devestated.

Sorry to hear it, dude. Best wishes to everyone.

Sorry to hear that.

I love espionage games. Hitman Absolution just topped my list (Well, still below MGS, but its the 2nd best espionage type game that I've seen. I gotta get that game)

It's so crazy how much I can relate to this. My grandpa is slowly dying of throat cancer and my mom is having a hard time accepting it, too... My condolences to you and your family Redman.

i'm sorry to hear about that redman. my friend had a similar experience when his grandpa died. hope you get better over time.

finally cleaned my pc. it took all night. now my pc runs really smooth.

Sorry to hear that Redman. My condolences to your family.
