The reason for my doing so is that I've noticed that the clock resets at the end of my 10 hits and therefore pushes me later and later into the day.
That messes with my daily schedule and will result in my eventually having to jump to a late day round of rep posting due to going to work.
Now the most time consuming part of the fun is coming up with personalized messages.
The forums are a fun place to visit and hang out. Adding structure (like rep lists) makes it resemble work, but that may be nothing more than my reaction to being in a career that demands a meticulous attention to detail. I wander around in this vast FTE desert, handing out reps like they were free, but I just can't do the "you get reps tomorrow because my list tells me that it has been 2 days since I last repped you" thing. Still, if it works for you, more power to you!

Now, I do enjoy including a personalized message with the reps. Sometimes it's something simple, other times it's a reference to something in the post to catches my attention. It seems to add something to the message when the reps include a reference to "what" and/or "why".

I was found guilty in the Court of Reps.

I have been sent away to the Big House.

Like any other Friday of my youth, Spread em, Hands behind your back, Cuffed and stuffed!


(not entirely true, I was only cuffed and stuffed once..........Apparently Dumping a picture of beer through the cops window angers them!)

O the cops used to like our Cat & Mouse games.............It isn't the same with 2 car seats in the back seat of my Red Neck Caddy!

"Rep Time" and "Rep-ciprocity" are two of my go to messages.
