Was the RATS forum worth 3500 points

In days of hyperinflation at ATS, which may or may not be analogous to real world events of the next 18 months, it is more difficult to place a value on 3500 ATS points. Some will come by them easily, and some will graft and toil and save and sacrifice to enter into the ranks of the R.A.T.S.

It is timely for the price to get hiked, and for an additional entry requirement of longevity of posting services to humanity to be added to the criteria on top of ATS points.

I guess I'm covered then. How exactly will the powers that be go about tracking ones services to humanity? Just curious

I guess "Registration Date" might be the simplest clue.

That, and an application before some R.A.T.S. Committee that enables the applicant to enter into the secret realm.

Well, I finally broke down and put in the points.

Was it worth it? Sure. It's not like I was doing anything with the points anyway, and they will be replaced eventually.

I can't #ing remember if I purchased the #ing "turn off censors" option? So, this # is a #ing test!

Ok, I guess I did. These "bad" words don't show to those who haven't purchased the option, right?

I am reading frokin shyte from you Satyr, no #ing #!

I hope the RATS Forum is revalued to 10,000 points or more in the not too distant future.

well, hell. it's a good thing I bought in before a policy of applications and voting and stuff is implimented. I get the feeing my application would be rejected fairly quickly. although, the points for entry will probably have to be raised at some point...once everybody's in RATS, it isn't all that secret, is it?
(of course, there's the other 150 or so secret boards. oh, wait. I'm not supposed to know about that. never mind.)

You obviously haven't purchased the "turn off censors" option, then.

I think I wasted 3500 creds for nothing...

SilverDeath

Isn't that also the way you got them?

It is all in the eyes of the beholder!

errr.... ummm.... no comment

don't take MA too seriously, SilverDeath. when he's not pretending to be a dwarf or raging against the machine, he's speaking in tongues. you get used to it after a while.

Au contraire, people, do take me seriously when I address you. If you want to.

I believe SilverDeath got my message in entirely:

*the fact that he felt his points had been hard-earned and wasted (a subjective impression)
* AND a cursory look at anyone who has got 50,000 points or more would have him thinking 'Why doesn't that idiot look in the mirror and realize his own points are not worth much either?'

Such is the intellect of SilverDeath, that he got it all (and more) in one.


You are out of step with your own elfen practices, however, and the time taken to write your instalments should be not much more than reading what you had to read and writing what you had to write above!!

yes... that's what I was thinking...

When i first posted this thread there wasn't a lot of topics in the forum.


Steadily this has increased, and the topics have become more interesting and worthwhile.


As for the 3500 points.

I used most of my points too gain access to this forum, it left me with only 1000 points.

I then went back to work posting worthwhile threads in the conspiracy forums, and in a short time have acumulated 7000 points.

It just takes dedication and a little bit of thought. c

Is that a receiver attached to your left ear there, quaneeri?

I think your sentiments are very positive and good.

Yeah MA.

I do appear to have given myself a growth on my ear.

Ironic.

Given the sentence that avatar is attached to. LOL
