Would a Peruvian soccer team really be the go to team to send in to be eaten? Much like the Mets, I'm sure their two fans would get suspicious.

I don't see why not, though it's up to her to friend accept you. But did you find the secret alternate Kao account?

I have not, which would lead me to believe it's under your real name. I know DF's, hence my original question.

It is under his real name, although he may have another secret account I don't know about.

1. Boxers
2. Marvel
3. I'm not sure I've ever banned a real person. I enjoyed muting a few posters now and again.
4. I've read entire Gbaji posts when I actually responded to him before I fully internalized the futility so I think I could handle one.
5. I miss Mindel and BT from back in the day. Oh the glory of the 10K posts
8. magic lamp
9. no
10. Belgium

29, no I used to have a goatee but I usually at most have a few days scruff at this point. I shave with a safety razor and brush and soap. It's a ritual that pleases me.

Maybe I'll get to this.

Pizza, because you can have a decent amount of variety and also make it healthy if you put the effort in.

Mudkip or Pikachu?
PIkachu

Best/worst movie of 2013?
I enjoyed Star Trek, I don't watch a lot of movies though, so I don't think I have a worst one.

I'd have a very hard time going back to a non smart phone

Curly fries or regular?
I love well done regular fries, but curly is also good. I think curly fries are better than most other fries, but really good regular fries with a good dip might come out on top.

And rateups only decrease your displayed karma. When you post I see 5.13, but as soon as someone rates you the post displays 5.0 However, your overall karma still increases.

Jeez and now for something completely different:

Two questions:

1. How come no comments available for wiki pages like, just for one example, RAMPAGE? Everything else allows for forum-type comments like here.I realize I can choose EDIT the page but I'm not looking to get that intimate, just to post a comment. LOL

2. Go to the allakhazam EQ home page. In the SEARCH engine type the word BACKSTAB.

Not one page dedicated to this. I can come up with many more examples. Allakhazam is a FOUNT of valuable and irreplaceable information about so many aspects of EQ but there's something missing here. And I don't play a rogue (much) and don't personally care or need to know more about BACKSTAB. It's just one example...

Wow. Weird, interesting but weird.

So like Guru = 4.6 to 5.0 and I'm a label-less freak, or Guru = 4.6+ and the FAQ section needs an update?

If you guys are legitimately telling us our karma without resetting it, could you PM me mine? If not please disregard, otherwise I'll post pics of the banana spiders.

Hey now, I didn't actually ask for my karma score, I asked why the change of heart to reveal them to people. Not complaining though. Smiley: lol Something I still have a bit of curiosity about, given the general history of the whole karma thing it's an interesting twist.

Or is it? Smiley: popcorn

What happens if I ask about other people's karma?

I foresee a profitable career as some sort of karmic intermediary, asking about other people's karma, and telling them via PM. I would, of course be privy to dark and dangerous secrets surrounding their karma, and many would envy or fear me, and attempts would be made on my account, ultimately resulting in a deadly struggle between myself and my detractors, at which point I would open a briefcase and threaten to press a button, which would have the effect of broadcasting their karma on various news channels around the globe.

Usually I don't let people ask because it becomes a distraction to the thread. This year I thought I would try something different.

Yes. Yes you should. If your karma goes high enough you turn into an admin, a fate worse than wedgies in some cultures

The other person would have to give their consent to have their karma released to the world as per rule 4.
