According to this thread How many rep points do YOU give out?
you could award, according to the formula, 120 points. ZZ could award 114 points. Mr. Epee, 108. And I? 123.
Of course, the formula may be incorrect or there might be a cap. And I am sure that Craig can give as many points as he wishes...

Besides Inq, while you may want people to think that epeeists only give rep to their own we all give it out to whoever we choose to.

| Bah, I've been here since May 2000, and I've never received Inq Rep.
We did agree on something once though......I believe we had the same preference in handguns.....
You'll live.

| Bah, wanting has nothing to do with it. You may sprinkle a bit around outside the fold from time to time, but it's clear that mostly you folks indulge in an onanistic frenzy designed to raise epeeists to the top of the rep list, and nothing more...
