If you refer back, I think we decided to order numerically, but can we cut out all the +x from WED - a from fisheads etc?

if noone objects:

Aunflin: 15
Brad: 8 1/2
Ghost: 5
jwebster:5
Torybear: 4
Kvetch :3
SuperEnigmatix: 3
Crispind: 3
felonius: 2 1/2
Ean143: 2
EJSarao: 2
Gil galad: 2
Uncle Beard: 2
BKM: 1
Holmes: 1
joolee: 1
Kagnok: 1
Kahrey: 1
MidasKnight: 1
mrdude: 1
Trebor: 1
Magicfan241: 1/2
Kilt: -2

We should order alphabetically within the 'points=value' subgroups, but I'm too lazy.

I'm not suggesting we don't give the origin of the point gained in the post, I just want to get rid of the attributions from old awards?

if you over rule me, take list from above post.

Hey, if Ghost can collect a cobwebbed point that everyone except him forgot about, then I want the 1.5 points he owes me for weekly wins in writer's vollyball. Someone else also gets 1/2 point ... I think it's Felonius.

Just because the opposition was lazy doesnt mean that the person holding serve isn't allowed to spike an ace on them. :smash: :lol:

your up ghost
Hey, I can’t help it if it took Gil galad two months to give me my Sherlock. I don't think anyone should get a Sherlock for one volleyball post. And by the way you would get 1 point and felonius and I would each get 1/2 point. That is if someone would score my volleyball post. :lol:
