Bartertown titles

Post by Rhaalidor »

Why is it that someone who has a positive feedback rating of 200, but has only made 50 posts is called a Bartertown Regular, but a trader who has made only 5 trades, but has made 700 posts is called an Expert Trader.

Just wondering...

because the system is set up for number of posts not feedback.. It was address some time ago.. and was slated to be eventually fixed.. but no one has gotten to it... maybe with the new upgrade the issue will be resolved.

Yeah.
It's kind of fun, if you have a good sense of humor.

Darksoul here, with his 570 rating, is only an "Expert" trader.
Me, on the other hand... LOL... I have just a bit over a third of his rating, but I'm a "Millenium" trader. LOL
I get to talk to him like he's a n00b because I'm such a (as I HAVE been called in anger), "Posting wh0re."


Heh heh... n00bs...

;)

Lower rating? You ship first.

Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

Be careful.

You never know when someone might end up with a custom title.

I've been told by many that I have a strange sense of humor (most recently in anger). 8) :-D

Hey! :evil:
That's not fair!

... I'm reformed!

I walk the straight and narrow with my links, now.... Okay... So I haven't really walked the "narrow" for a number of years. LOL... but I'm walking the "straight."


Tell him, Lin!

How much $$$ Lin? I'm sure the community could come up with a very persuasive amount of dough to see MM with the "Resident Post Whore" title. That would be hilarious!!
Please do not agree to a trade with me unless you know for sure that you actually want it to happen! If you think that makes me a jerk, feel free to NOT TRADE WITH ME!
Did you grow up on comics from the 80s? So did we. We're creating a comic book that has the "coolness" of modern books, with the style of those books we loved in the 80s/90s. Check it out: www.brassfalcon.com

Talk about a fund raiser...I remember years ago when we could donate to Bartertown when they had run into a couple of problems.

Now if Eric would have been around, this would have been better than the chick in a white tshirt at a dunking booth!


All the Best,

Thus illustrating a premise my Shadowrun game group knows all too well: NEVER GIVE LIN IDEAS. EVER. 8)
