in reply to A Proposal for Additional Levels

Looks interesting. I'd make a few changes:
  1. Bell-curve the votes. I'm hard-pressed to use a half-dozen votes when I log in, and I think that's not uncommon. 10 votes seems a more reasonable point for the pope than 100
  2. Voting should be worth less the higher up you go. I'd ramp it to zero chance of XP about 2/3 of the way up the level chart. If you want to be pope, it ought to be by other people's judgement of your actions.
  3. Might as well spread out the level powers some
  4. Allow people to opt out of the system and stop collecting XP
  5. Age the XP. Bits rot, why not XP?
Or, since it really is mostly meaningless, hand out xp at random and give a 4% chance per day of getting the Bozo The Clown background and image set...
