Guess the reference.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I don't like the idea of "owing" anyone rep. While BoB is overly anal about it, I do agree that rep should only be given voluntarily, not mandated by some game. If someone makes a good pun or guess that someone (anyone, not just the person who posted the reference) thinks worthy of rep, then fine.

I find it curious you'd feel anyone else is overly anal about rep considering how much thought you've put into giving out the points yourself. You made a post saying you felt it would cause a problem. BoB has made no comment, even after I welcomed his input. I guess he's not too concerned. Now you've made a post about not wanting to feel like you "owe" someone something. It's part of a harmless game, not extortion. You're rewarding someone for figuring out your puzzle. A fun little tip of the hat.

I've created a game. It has "rep" or points. Lots of games have points. It's rather common. You're within your rights to not give him a point for guessing your reference, and your'e welcome to play, but it comes across as a little sour.

If BoB thinks someone is earning too much rep, or some other issue, I'll change the rules from there. I don't want to start an argument. I just shared my opinion since you have shared yours. I personally don't see what the big deal is.

I'll give Nuke his rep.

EDIT: Nuke already has a point. I assume it was you. Thank you. If you aren't comfortable with rep from here out, I'll give it to those who guess your puzzle. Deal?
