@ Stormy: Yay! I'm glad you like the concept.
Hee-- I do love the 50BC thread. What are you reading right now?
I wish I were as far along as you. I'm still muddling around at the 16 mark.

@ Alexandrus: Because people don't like greed as a concept. Now if it were just "the evil guy" vs. "the good guy" and EvilDood were actually a team, which you had to do actual work to support, that'd be all nice and fun.
In this instance, though, you actually take away from whatever team you're on when you spend. That's just not as nifty. To support greed, you prioritize yourself against other people's goals. And even if you're not on a team, you still take away from the completion of the scarf by spending yarn in the shops.

That's mah 2 cents of explanation.
Plus it's winter-- Mene needs scarfage. :yes:

You're welcome to hang around and chat, though! You may find that the Half Principle grows on you. :P


(Oooh, I've another reason: it's because people really like to see meters completed. We all feel like we've failed when the meter doesn't fill up. It's a subconscious need.)
