| The thing is, the epeeists seem to NEED rep to reassure themselves their lives are exciting 
You can rep me, I don't mind

When I was at Smith the same situation applied, but with all foilists.
And now, at the club where I coach, the junior level coaches all get a touch pissy about the way we have our adult class set up because it meets on the nights when foil and sabre fencers train, and every single one of us fences a right-of-way weapon.
What do those epeeists do with their time?
And really, why are you all repping me? Picking on epeeists is reward enough in and of itself. (**Ducks**) | |

| See the little check/x button under people's names? To give someone rep, that is cool points, you click that box. It gives them cool points based on how many points you have, how many days you've been a member, and how many posts you have.
The "official" numbers are +1/180 days, +1/500 posts, and +1/100 points, but that can't be right since of the 3-4 four people I've asked, none of them are giving out as many points as that formula says they should.

| If you want to view your own points (and messages with them) go to User CP and select User Control Panel.
The more points, the more green dots you get.
The more green dots, the more points you give each time you rep someone. So If I rep you, you get more points than when you rep me.

Do the ROW fencers really need to be as lame (lamé?) as the epeeists?
