Que?

Can someone explain to me how the kills work, it's cool that by posting one reply I became an ace, but it's confusing....

I don't understand how it works either! Sometimes I'll post something with 2 lines and get 2 - 3 kills, and at other times I'll post something with a couple of paragraphs and get 0.64 kills!!
I'm confused..........

It's one of those mysteries of life.
From what I've been told, they don't mean a damn thing. I don't even pay attention to it anymore.

yeah several people have asked about this, baisically, the more you type the more kills you get, and people can judge what kind of poster you are by your kill count, someone that makes large posts will have more kills than those that make short posts............

Yes but people can see whether or not peoples posts are long or short using the concept they have been given wihich enables them to determine size.....

Weird, I think my posts are generally longer than yours. But cos I make more of them, it limits me

Listen chaps,

I'm an administrator for this board and I don't understand 'em either. Unfortunately this board does not come with an instruction manual (that I've ever been able to find.)
