Oh, and grandpas... Good posts = helping them across the road, bad posts = beating them up... Umm... that's a stupid analogy. It's against the law to do something bad. Beating grandpas up, or bad posts. But the law doesn't give a crap if you DON'T do good things, helping grandpas. It also doesn't really care if you do help someone, because it's totally your choice and the law says nothing that one should help grandpas over the road. But it does specifically say that you'll be punished if you beat them up.
So uh... Yeah. Doing bad things puts a spot on the record. But doing good things won't earn you a golden star, or remove those spots. So I guess the analogy is correct... But it's still stupid.
Well, it was just a random example, but it works.
And actually we haven't punished him yet, he got his second and third chance already, yet he hasn't changed much.
Also he was wondering how his good posts don't make up for the bad ones, but it doesn't work like that when 50% of them are good and the other 50% are bad.
Doing good things will boost your karma (even though there is no proper system, we do notice who helps etc) and that will clean your strikes etc, but only works if you only keep behaving. If you alternate good and bad actions, it won't lead you anywhere.
Earning a bad reputation is something that could happen in a matter of seconds, but earning a good one back takes hard work.
Not only in pixelation, but everywhere.
But anyway, I'll leave all this aside. Let's hope Gil starts behaving.
As for Smash Bros, right now I got mixed feelings about it.
A part of me wants it badly being a nintendo fanboi (as Ptoing likes to call it), but at the same time (pretty much from the current lack of info) I feel like I could wait for a while without it, as the Melee one kinda does the job right now. But I guess I'll end up getting it.
Right now I'm looking forward to a couple of DS games.
