New "Reputation" Options

[Lucidicide]

Hey all,

I recently updated the reputation options on the forum. Like is now a Puppet Teddy because why not.

The main purpose, though, was I removed all potentially "negative" reactions like Confused and Sad. That said, I also added an "Agree" and a "Respectfully Disagree."

I am hoping these will be useful for people who would like to express an opinion, particularly one that is disagreeing, without typing it out. I've seen it used to good effect on other boards, making it far easier to gauge overall reaction to a comment without scrolling through everything. I feel it'll be particularly helpful in playtesting efforts.

Anyway, let me know any thoughts or comments.

Counting down the seconds until someone disrespectfully disagrees.

I'm the first jerk.

I was finding sad useful for comedy and confused for...well...almost the entirety of the rules discussions, but that was merely nice to play with and not a necessity. Glad to see the contrary options reduced to one.

Marcus is, always and forever, the alpha jerk.

I can still only do one. I would like to agree and respectfully disagree at the same time.

Edit: do people respectfully disagreeing with me still give me internet points on the leaderboard? (I care so little I'm not even going to check, but the thought occurred to me)

Agree and disagree do not give or remove points. They are outside of the points structure.

Does this imply there might be a playtest coming up???

There are often playtests going on. I don't think there's been a time out of playtesting in like 3 years. It just depends on the game. TTB, for example, is basically always testing because of one-shots, etc.
