You can get cred from 5-10 people quickly by joining the collusion circle. Just give "collusion" cred to me, and to everyone else who has collusion cred and we'll hit you back!
You may regret this. We are planning on reducing scores to 0 for those who have given cred to those who misbehave on jyte. So make sure the people you collude with are not trolls.
I think the key is in making sure that "collusion" is described as some sort of "bad" or "negative" cred ... I'm not sure really how you would do this though.
I agree with Martin. Once you get enough of a userbase people are going to be throwing cred around. That sort of all or nothing policy will only work against you beacuse it severly penalizes innocent people for bad choices. Certainly cred in that sort of instance should be diminished though; There needs to be measures against gaming the system, of course.
@Rorek, what if you don't know which choice was the one that resulted in your score being KO'ed? Are you expected to keep experimenting with removing creds until you hit the right combination? One would expect a notification from an admin bot in such a situation, at least....

That seems a little overboard. Sure, reduce the cred score a bit, but zeroing it out completely because of one bad choice is a bit harsh.

Why is "collusion" bad cred. What if I had called it teamwork?
If you remove the cred to the bad user, your score will return. I don't see this as a severe penalty.
rorek, why do you have 0 collusion cred?
Can cred erupt spontaneously, or does it have to spread from one source?
OJC: i believe this was later answered elsewhere as definitively "one source"
Amusingly enough the entire collusion circle doesn't log on much anymore.
Yah. Who's on there? Atomic thumbs and Vynce seem to be the only ones who still logs on.
Also interesting, the comparative cred dot weight on the dexter side of the claim.
The dexter side?
Right. As opposed to sinister, which would be left. This is where we get the word ambidextrous, or right handed with both hands.
Oh, ok. This terminology must go way back. Now I remember Dante using something like it in the Divine Comedy.
uh... i'm not part of the collusion circle. i was on the "agree" side of this claim for a while, but that doesn't mean i ever participated.
