I'm watching the Krone debate with mounting frustration. Why can't the Krone be used as a social status symbol, like the Karma system? All it would then do is show how much you actually contribute and take part, and still be a nice little addition to our system.

Even though Pengu and I are having perhaps our third ever beef right now, I do believe he's correct on this one.

Well we all have our beef from time to time.  But a little bit of arguments from time to time keep things healthy, alive, and interesting.  If everyone agreed on every little thing, we'd live in a really boring world.

Because we already have a social status symbol...the karma system.

I don't think it's anything to get frustrated about, I think we all want to make a good currency system happen. I feel like we're just missing the one piece of it that'll make everything else fall into place.

Except the Karma system doesn't mean anything. At most it means someone is funny sometimes. It doesn't measure participation in anything.

I guess you could say we're all just...
Karma chameleons.

That, and as we learned it was a system that, when dislikes were around, was abused if a member simply didn't like someone.  While that's not the case anymore, like Laurentus said, it really doesn't mean anything except that someone liked your post for some reason.  Whereas the krone would show participation and contribution to the region in terms of post counting, so it does become more of both a currency as well as a social status symbol.

It means that you had to post something and somebody had to like it, as opposed to krone which would just mean that you posted something...kinda like a post count you could spend. One isn't worth much more or less than the other, so let's please stop being silly about this.

Alas, I feel that I've been less active these days then I should have. I feel that I'll have more time now, however, and am looking forward to coming back and being more active :]

That's awesome, North! It'll be great to see you around more and get to chat with you...probably here in SWOYM, since this is where we seem to do most of our chatting.

In any case, feeling much more rested after sleeping for 11 hours last night...could still use more though. v_v

Wait, where the hell did I ever say Krone would be based on your post-count? That would be brain-dead. Perhaps actually fucking read what I write instead of just jumping right onto what you think I'm saying. And don't fucking patronise me.

EDIT: And you wonder why people want nothing to do with government or why there is such a tremendous malaise in spirit. "Let's just stop being silly about this?" What in the wide world of fuck is wrong with you?

@Laurentus, that's out of line. And I'm certain you realize that.

Tone it down man, that's way to much. Take it easy and watch it.

Laurentus, even I have to say that was a bit much. That's totally out of character for you. Are you doing ok?

One of my teachers from junior high that's still there just finished streaming a speaker talking to the students over there...it doesn't feel so long ago that I was sitting in those bleachers watching things like that. The speaker is wrong about one thing though...adults don't always know what they're talking about. In fact they rarely do. I know it's easier to tell kids that adults know it all and that they should listen to them, but that's bullshit sometimes...not always, but sometimes. But still...

In any case, Laurentus, I don't know what's up with you...I don't know why you sit in this topic and glower over things that pop up in Citizen areas when you could easily become a Citizen again, and I don't know why you get so abrasive over very slight disagreements people have in the Citizen areas on these topics, but if you're looking to pick a fight with someone you're going to have to choose someone else. I'm not going to rise to your bait.

Adults speak from a lot of experience at times.  I know it doesn't seem like much, but I do as well.

Laurentus, slow.your roll
