thanks,

i didn't know how many i had till today, and it I'm quite sure my DISLIKES would be far higher than my likes if such a thing existed.

But when I asked I became curious as they seemed to act like it should be something I could see easily.


But, i've been using this addon ... http://userstyles.org/styles/46285/eve-online-classic-forums-style-alezra-grey?r=1315322113 for firefox that changes how this forum displays, and it apparently doesn't display the likes.

I like to be liked but I like Hugs even more.

I imagine each one is a Hug.

But I am doing better. You know why?

Rhetorical Question it is because I am more Hugable.

All the girls tell me that my tiny like count doesn't matter. They say its cute like one of those tiny little pickles.

When they lean in close to have a look I jam it in their eye, laugh like Stewie Griffin and say "How's that pickle, Byotch!?"

Other than forum attention whores, who actually cares about likes? And why the hell would someone ask you about it in game? Is this no longer Eve? Is it now HighSchool Musical or something?

I dunno, I suppose I was lost before I undocked, nevermind.

The LAGL-Thread is pretty much dead nowadays- people keep posting in it, but there are hardly any likes given out anymore- but it used to be the No. 1 like-whoring-tool up to about 1 month ago.
There are several other ways to get likes nowadays, unfortunately none of them is as time efficient as the LAGL-Thread.

1. Goodposts. Very difficult, since they require a lot of effort. Also, goodposts have to be on the first 2 pages of the thread or they will get neglected and all your effort is wasted.

2. Trolling. People cannot dislike you, but if you say stupid stuff that makes 95% facepalm, there are still the 5% that will give you likes for that (either because they are stupid beyond redemption or because they are trolls themselves)

3. Ad hominem attacks: this one worked best for me. Just hit on people who are generally disliked, ridicule them without catering to their topic or arguments. If you do this in a sarcastic and funny way you shall reap your likes very quickly.

4. Quoting stupid lines from movies or vintage video games. People that recognize those lines will instantly think: "Oh, somebody enjoyed the same stuff I did years ago, what a likeable fellow".This is also a very effective method.

5. Still a psychological experiment, but looking promising: I picked out several posters and consequently liked EVERYTHING they were posting, no matter what. It turns out that some of them have begun to return the favor... but I will have to watch this experiment a little longer to validate this technique.


Things that do not work:

- Racism

- ponies (no longer, the auto-like for posting ponies is gone)

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

You see...your likes are going up quickly. You can thank me by transfering to me 1 M isk per like.

By liking this post I would invalidate my own theories....but I decided that, just because it is christmas and I have so many likes to give, I am going to like every post in this thread!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

Cannot resist...

Hugs.

Then again I post like I think so, its often I you can actually find me arguing against myself at times on a thread becuase I want to see which direction I could steer the conversation in. Not that anyone has noticed so far.
