Quantifying Good & Bad Decisions

[BillyJoe]

Actually, the only reason that I post on Forum or chat on VP Chat is to showcase my rapier wit and highlight my magnetic personality. But then again, opinions vary..

The folks at the lightening strike survivors meeting must be quite illuminating. Plus I bet we would get a charge out of them. (sorry somebody had to do it)

But seriously Frank I enjoyed this little exercise. It kind of got me thinking about other aspects in a persons life. Not just posting on this forum, but why people want to be heard either to boast or complain.

When things are going as expected people don't feel the need to mention it. It's the outer fringes of what we could perceive as good or bad, is when people will shout from the rooftops.(forums)

Very Interesting, thanks.

Thanks Billyjoe.

I guess what would be the most useful input is if everyone agrees that VP forums are disproportionately made up of people in the 16%, what should we do about it, and how can we use this information to improve our forum experience?

If I'm right, and there really isn't anyway to know for sure, all I've done is to define a possible problem. I'm right out of ideas on what to do about it.

I know this, we can't look to the 84% for help, they're disinterested and too busy getting what they expected.
If people choose to play then I guess nothing can be done about it. One way or another we will fall into a given category. If only we could choose which category. Your examples mirror the truth about playing a random game. This thread is insightful to what actually does take place.

Right, this coming from someone who claims to have seen "blue boxes"..

I think, Frank, that a Lesson Learned is that comments made in any social media vehicle today, whether it is a Forum Post, Blog, Facebook or just the internet in general, should always be taken with a grain of salt. There is no substitute for sitting down with someone, and having a face-to-face discussion, versus the anonymity of the internet.
If you REALLY want to know how I feel, invite me over for lunch the next time I am in Vegas.

You got it, Frank. I would enjoy that. Maybe we can then have a "VP SmackDown". Can I win a hat?
