Would you be as generous as you are now, if you would lose Lurve every time you award someone a GA?

Yes, because for me it isn’t really about the lurve.

sure. I don’t care. You think I’m going to take my lurve and go buy a tea cozy?

What else are you going to do with it?

Yes, I would. But I’m pretty sure my lurve would run out pretty soon.

Yes, I would. I’d be in lurve debt, but I’d keep spending.
Oh didn’t mean to make that last bit sound dirty.

Eh, maybe a little more careful. But not much more.

soul searching question. :-)

Can’t say it’d bother me :)

Yes as it is all about the lurve you give not what you get…well most of the time. ;)

Sure. Lurve is not important, it flatters our egos, but, I give lurve because I really LURVE the answer or the person, not as some bartering chip for popularity.

Yeah, it’s not like it’s award points from using a credit card.

Yes. I wouldn’t care if I lost lurve.

@Adirondackwannabe

Hey, that reminds me, I gotta check my rewards points today, reward me! haha

I give more than I get. I’d continue my lurve pattern no matter what weird lurve rules were enacted.

The lurve giveth; the lurve taketh away.

Ehh. I don’t see a point in the Lurve anyways… It’s just there to make you feel special, or someting,

I think I would soon end up in minus lurve!! Would it mean I couldn’t give lurve if all mine ran out? :-( that seems a bit unfair how can I give people the credit they deserve if I have no lurve? Perhaps I’d have to start to give out huggles instead!

@sakura no objection to the huggles. :)

Yes. I actually suggested this a couple of years ago as an alternative to lurve caps: after we max out on someone, we could spend our own lurve points to award them to someone else. The system we have is a good one, and I don’t think it’s going to change, but there have been many occasions when I would gladly have “bought” some more points to give to someone I really wanted to applaud.

Of course!

I know there aren’t going to be any changes here any time soon, but I love how another site I visit works. There are no ranks, great answers, great questions or points. You can mark an answer as helpful, nice, funny or encouraging. It’s a very supportive community.

It would probably all equal out, as long as all were doing it that way. I really don’t pay any attention to the score.

No. No, I would not. I hope someone else has the cajones to be honest with themselves!

Haha.

I think so. It’s hard to say without really being in that situation, but I’d like to think it wouldn’t matter to me.

I click GA to show my respect and admiration for contributions that enhance the discussion. I would never concern myself with any cost that might be imposed.

Sure, I don’t track my own lurve score but would I have to have lurve in reserve in order to give some out? That would suck. I give tons of lurve to posts and comments I don’t participate in but read nonetheless. What’s the point of anyone being greedy with lurve? It’s not like you get anything for it to begin with beyond a feeling of camaraderie for an idea or opinion.

Since I lurve everyone who replies to my questions or new users who are under 1k lurve [all the time I see they answer] I’d be at negative lurve in a few days :)

No. But why would you do that? It would be sort of like giving a compliment, expecting an insult in return. Doesn’t make sense.

No problem as long as they don’t mind us going into the negative, I love to give lurve!!

Absolutely. Lurve really doesn’t mean anything, but under those circumstances, those with lots of lurve would look like greed-heads.

I would probably change how I participate in party threads, where my current policy is to lurve every single answer, but other than that I don’t think anything would be different. The system would still generate a net gain, so everyone would just advance more slowly.

Assuming people were willing to stick around and put up with such an odd system, that is.

It would completely change the way I fluther.

Look at you, @zen—6666. Now, there’s a score.

Yeah it’s a great lurve count for people with hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

That was brief but exciting.

It always is, zen. It always is.

I’m maxed out on ya – but you need a GQ and a GA to get 6666 right now.

And now, @Ladymia69, you need four points to reach the same score. That’s two adds to a fluther or one GQ + one two-days-in-a-row point.

Oh zen I took a screen shot for posterity, by the way.

Damn. I missed my own 6666. I was probably sleeping.

Never mind, it wasn’t an exact hit like @zen‘s. You had 6667.

That’s on the way from Satan to God, isn’t it?

I’d say everything was somewhere on that continuum if I believed in either terminus.

You could always quit with me and hit 6666 next time.

The one I’m waiting for (fingers X’d) is 66666. Hey, I’m more than halfway there.

The last 20k are the hardest.

@zen Let me know the next time you quit, and I will quit with you.

@Ladymia69 Let’s do it. Ready?

Oh zen.

@everephebe XD
