No worries, I'm not looking for any retroactive changes. Jes' tawkin'. I also liked Lady E's suggestion about doubling spotlight points, an excellent idea.

Quit sucking up to Lady Elysian, it's embarassing to watch a grown Chaos Lord prostate himself like that in public. Or is the word "prostrate?" Either way, I don't like it...

One of thos "prost"-words does seem to go better with nutsack.

Gosh golly, nothing can be said around you without some ulterior motive being inferred. Very Happy

Well, let's suppose, for the sake of argument, that I was sucking up to Lady E, what's not to like about that? You anti back-rub!?

ps i would consult your TOGS partner (if he's speaking to you [i noticed he wrote you a personal ad this turn]) or the Creepster for any prostate problems you might be having. i have no experience there, mon frer.

What!!!???
We, nor The Creepster, have any issues with Prostates - except that we are certainly and rapidly getting to the age where we seem to occasionally forget all the uses for same.

You don't have to know them to talk trash about them. That is what makes TOGS and Aradi so great. The managers in there are easy-going and take everything with a grain of salt and have to be some of the funniest people on the planet.

Actually, the only good thing about not being in TOGS this time around is not fearing the reprisal of Nuln's sharp pen.

Easy-going? No way!
Seraphim, get your ass in gear! Pick out someone you don't know and lambast them. Rake 'em through the coals! Make them beg for mercy - truth or no truth. Pick on us. Pick on Nuln - he's easy. Pick on Sentinel - he's easiest. Soultaker is wide open. Have at ANYBODY! THIS IS TOGS!

Yes, we are as old as the hills.
We and Papa Bear seem to be the great grandfathers of Duel.

If TOGS starts awarding spotlight points for quality, I won't be back. Why enter when you know you have zero chance as compared to the slim to none chance as it stands now!

It's been proposed before. Quality is subjective--that's why it probably it will never get implemented. Even a voting system wouldn't work--there's no way that everyone can be trusted to not vote strategically. It would pretty much be the death of TOGS.

I don't think anybody suggested that. All I was saying is they should be worth MORE points.

Right, I understood what you were saying. Right now you get points for quantity (meeting the minimum requirement) you proposed adding points for quality.

My self depreciating comment aside, Manager points out the biggest flaw in that idea, quality as defined by who? (or is it whom?). Us barely literate people would have an almost insurmountable handicap.

From the DM 60 newsletter:

Maybe it could be an extra bonus to judge at
each turn the best three spotlights get an additional 15, 10, and 5 more points than
the 5 for writing 31 lines. Then you are really getting into a challenge mode. What
do you think? What would everyone think? You can even do the Oscars for best
spotlight...Best Entertainment Value, Best Comedy, Best Drama or Mystery, Best
Parody, Best Character Assassination story--whatever.... -- Lady E

Oops, guess I didn't read her pesonal close enough. My thought was just to make it worth 10 pts or more across the board, steada the 5 it now is. I agree that any points awarded on subjectivity would be a sucky way to go.
