Has there been a surge in lurve, and have you been splurging with your lurve?

I love your answer/question; you get lurve.

That is all.

But, when it’s a 10K/20K party, I toss lurve everywhere. Much like a Rip Taylor with the bag of confetti (minus the goofy moustache and wig :)).

I’m addicted to giving lurve. Sometimes I’m so fast on the trigger that I’ll GA a question before I read the whole thing, and realize that I totally disagree with the second half of it! Whoops. I also like to GA answers that are well-written and logical, even if I do disagree with them.

I’m not too influenced by my lurve tally… Occasionally I’ll be bummed for a moment if I feel like I just gave 5 really awesome answers and notice that I still have the ”+1 for visiting two days in a row!” at the top of my Lurve box, or I’ll be surprised when I have one really shitty answer and the box is maxed out with GAs for that answer. I don’t ignore it by any means, but it doesn’t really affect what I say.

I’m pretty generous with it. But there are some goofs on here that I never give lurve to because I think their answers are so damned off the wall all the time. But if I see a good answer that I agree with, I’ll sure give it.

I am a Lurve Scrooge. I only dole it out to the finest, funniest and best q and a’s.

and to tits macgee and asmonet and auggie when they talk dirty to me

@jbfletcherfan Agreed, dear. How ya been?

I give it for really good, helpful answers, & for answers that make me laugh. (lol4rl) I don’t give it so often for questions.

i’m busy giving lurve to these answers right now, ha

@RedPowerLady right back atcha!

Right back atcha!

I feel I’m pretty generous with my lurve, doesn’t cost me a thing after all. I give more lurve than I post or comment and I’m not affected by who I think is new or old or whatever.

Lurve to all, and to all a lurve good night!

I’m streaky with my doling out of lurve. Sometimes I catch myself being on the stingy side and have to force myself to give it out more freely. But usually I’m pretty loose with it.

Splurving: (v.) To splurge when giving out lurve. To lurve a lot a lot a lot.

Sounds dirty. Yumeh.

@Allie Sinfully delicious.

Well I feel really lurvy durvy today so here’s some for everyone and a gq too!

Is this just an excuse for a lurve party?

There has been a splurge in new members, so that is where most of it is coming from. I don’t even get most of the points from my GA’s anymore, because most people are maxed out, as I am with many regular users. I still give freely to as many contributions as I see.

I only give lurve to those who are worthy. Especially Sarcasm. He can write something like “Radiohead sucks big moose droppings” and I’ll still give him lurve. Why? Because it’s freaking Sarcasm, you deadbeats!

@PretentiousArtist and Sarcasm sitting in a tree.

You should add Dominic and Mariah, too.
What ever happened to you, Mariaaahhhh

<==== Tight-fisted with the lurve. Gotta earn it, baby!

^ Not me! I give lurve often. I lurve fluther so much, I like to share the lurve everytime I’m here!

I lurve people that are smart and are humerus. People that make my day.
You’re one of them…just stalking saying

How lurvulous! I lurve humerus. ;)

I like hummus too
ba dum psshhh

Hummus gives me gas.

I lurve when I laugh mostly. I also splurge lurve on happy 10k days, happy 20k days. Like serious splurge. I feel like some days I’m going to run out.

@YARNLADY There’s a lurve limit?

@rangerr

I believe if you ‘blow your load’ inside a, say, Happy 10K Day question, and lurve everybody, you’re like done for the day. Or something.

I’d imagine if anyone did that inside a 10/20K party, people would be offended.

I would understand. All the excitement, you know? Especially for a first-timer.

That’s okay. The lurve party would last longer the next time as long as they take it easy.

I try to give it to people who really try and help the person asking the question. Sarcastic people get enough lurve.

@rangerr There is an apparently lifetime limit to how much lurve any jelly can give another jelly. When you have given them the limit, you can still click GA or GQ, but they will no longer receive additional points from you.

I forget. :(

What @YARNLADY said is correct. Lurved out on you and many others a while ago, but now as this Zen I can give you all more lurve. :-)

Well, that’s a pretty interesting way to use a new identity. And here I was wondering why you keep switching. There is a method to the madness (or vice versa) or whichever makes the most sense.

But to answer the question, I pretty much just follow my gut instinct. As someone else said, it costs me nothing so why not spread it around freely?

Nah – I’m not a lurve whore, au contraire.

I like the newfound anonymity – if you check the date that I ‘joined” – I’ve been here for a little over a week. ;-)

@Zen

Actually, I meant it just the opposite of what you inferred.

As one of the (former) old timers, you had used up the quota of (effective) lurve which you could GIVE OUT to many other old timers, but as a “new” Zen, you could hence give out another round of lurve to others until the new ID maxes out.

If you were a lurve whore you would be striving for the highest score for yourself and not be switching to new status only to climb the hill again. Make sense?

But this whole scorekeepin and keeping track of which award means that, yada yada is just kind of tedious for me personally.

I regard it the same way as Captaine Janeway did keeping track of time travel paradoxes, and I quote:

“temporal mechanics always gives me a splitting headache”

:)

What is the life time max for lurve?

@ChazMaz There is no maximum amount to how much lurve you can receive in general. There is a maximum amount for how much you can receive from one person (I think the limit you can get from one person is 100.. I think, not positive.)

@Buttonstc Lurve!

:D

Right back atcha, Jean Luc.
