I hadn't noticed. But perhaps I wasn't here when the actual change was made. When specifically was it (UTC), may I inquire?

I don't know what the last three meant but the first one is inaccurate. The correct term would be prime minister, because we a have a monarch, Catspaw.

Although long words no longer net more cash than short ones, I think this was a sensible solution. =D>

I haven't the foggiest. ;) I doubt you would have noticed anything when it happened, though; it's not like the whole ToO went down or anything. \:D/

EDIT: According to the admin log, it was February 5th, 2010, 11:09 A.M. I'm guessing that's EST but I don't really know. ;)
So you lost your trust,
And you never should have.
No, you never should have.
But don't break your back
If you ever see this,
But don't answer that.

Nah, it was on ours. ;) We just didn't make a huge deal out of it because... it wasn't a huge deal. ;) I just clicked a button and it happened. :noway:


It was like... item 2.5 on our platform. \:D/

Cash per word. Pseudonym can you define a word?

this is my sig, but it is not attached by default, because I think I am too good for a signature all the time, or something. (More likely something).
I am totally not a sockpuppet of Marvin D.

I am not Pseudonym, but I can define word. A word in this case is a string of non-20h characters padded with 20h (space) characters.

Ah, cash per word. I have always favored the system.
Though I do wish it was implemented sooner. I think it would have come in handy when I posted a few things a while back. Like The Interview *cough*

Don't talk about things you don't understand even if it is just a joke.

I'm surprised this isn't too politically left. Every word being equal.
