So, with thanks to LanceHughes, we have an updated list. Oh! I have also had my suspicions confirmed: that my rudimentary search to find point scoring has been woefully incomplete. For instance, barelynangel was able to find posts where I had given her a total of 170 points and yet none of those posts came up in my search. So do feel free to peek around and see where else I may have missed something!

Ahh! Well, this is somewhat surprising. I always assumed you had some master list stored in a file somewhere on your hard drive, updated after every jaunt through the forums.

Another illusion shattered! I suppose that next, one you cynics will be trying to persuade me that there's no Santa Claus.

Incidentally, is this the right thread for taking this whole concept meta-? Because I'd like to actually look at what NZ's done, here, and try to figure out how it's managed to play out the way it has.

Ialda, unless NZ says otherwise, I think this is exactly the place for that . . . . . Thread drift tends to be much better tolerated down here in Silliness than any other section . . . .. Tho' I don't think that would actually constitute thread drift . . .

Okay, so... this is something I've been thinking about for awhile.

NZ seems to have a capacity for... well, for making things be about him, but in a positive way.

This is a skillset I've been attempting to master for nearly 20 years now, and I still don't seem to have it down. There's this process that leads to... I dunno what to call it. 'Respect' is too tame; 'adulation' is too archaic of a word... 'worship' is a bit over-the-top. But there's definitely a process, and a path, to crafting a cult of personality.

And it's not necessarily about viewpoints - leadership and I are the top two scorers (which will almost necessarily connote a degree of similarity in world-view, just based on how scores are presented), and yet Darcyandthedark are far closer to cementing the kind of "collarchat.com cred" that I'm talking about.

As tongue-in-cheek as this thread is, there's power here in what NZ has done. And the man's a self-avowed, snarking nihilist. I refuse to accept that this all comes down to the power of a hot profile pic, NZ's luxurious flowing locks notwithstanding. There's something deeper at work.

So what gives?

Well, I'll jump into this discussion.

I've been trying to 'learn' the fine art of self-promotion for some time . . ... . But I don't know that I have anything very impressive to share . . . . .

I know that as a writer I've grappled with the topic of being 'authoritative' & that to some extent these are qualities one just grabs hold of & does. I just start being an authority on something (doing my research, etc) & sooner or later someone will treat me as authoritative on that subject, externally validating something that was already clear to me from the inside . . . . .

I'm gonna (a) mull this some more & (b) see what else gets stirred up . . .. .

Do you really think so? Not to be a wet blanket, but suddenly I'd be curious to know why people see power in this.

I've mostly stayed out of the thread because I just don't see anything interesting about the whole topic, but now my interest is piqued. I just see fluff - harmless fluff that a lot of people find entertaining, certainly; but nothing more than that. I don't see the power.

Hmmmm, aren't we talking about, in part, that somewhat evanescent quality, 'charisma'?

charisma |kəˈrizmə|
noun
1 compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others : she enchanted guests with her charisma.
2 ( pl. -mata |-ˌmətə|) (also charism |ˈkarˌizəm|) a divinely conferred power or talent.

So would I! I see power in this, primarily, because I see other people behave as if they see power in this. And I wonder how many of them behave as if they see power in it, because they see other people that they want to impress behaving as if they see power in it. But there's definitely a self-reinforcing resonance (or there was, before I opened my mouth - I might have popped the soap-bubble.)

Well, to be honest, the "point system" - and certainly the "rewards", which are clearly tongue-in-cheek - aren't powerful. But look at how many people have started putting their "NZ points" in their .sig line over the past few weeks. That's symptomatic of something interesting.
