[QUOTE="topsemag55"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] Why would you want to do that :? If one cares about their GS level, one would think they would not want to 'cheat the system' and want it (their level) to accurately represent their time spent here (not time spent intentionally 'leveling up') If one does not care, then why do anything to affect it

You can't "cheat" the system.:lol: Everything has points assigned to it - some have more than others. Once you reach the maximum percentage allowed per day, it doesn't increase after that...you have to wait until the level-up subroutine finishes running early in the A.M.

1. That did not address what I brought up though -if you 'care' about your level, why would you not want it to be accurate representation of your 'time' here...NOT a result of going to 'level up' 2. I thought you had to leave :? -this was why you could not respond to our other conversation

See above - I just finished levelling. But now I am leaving to run that DLC...I have to start a brand-new game, as my last one was almost at the end boss battle.

[QUOTE="topsemag55"]I can earn at most around 3% per day at this level - I just finished clicking enough links to get that. Posting won't even get you much - maybe 0.1% at most.

How and, more importantly, why do you know this?

Well at least you took the time to address the important issues ITT... (though I would have thought you might think the issues pertaining to the OP in your own thread might be more important...but who am I to decide what should be important to another person)

[QUOTE="ultimameteora"]Time of unemployment should be out of the equation and to support this stance I'm pointing out that there is no law that says one must be employed.SpartanMSU

There is also no law that says someone should have a medical degree in order to be a doctor...yet people who don't have one will not be looked at...

I really don't see your point here.

Uuuuuh... what? You don't need to major in pre-med in college, but you DO need a medical degree aka, Medical Doctorate aka M.D. from a medical school to be a doctor. Without that, you can't even apply for a license to practice, and move on from there.

You learn a lot about GS when you venture into forums other than OT. I'm always checking out new info in Tech Support, How to GS, and the Feedback forums. I've always been interested in how things work. Btw, your level - you can earn around 3% per day as well.

perhaps we should exchange passwords...I will email you to let you know I am away for the day so that you can 'level me up' (and vice versa). I shudder to think that a day could go to waste

Before our new 'buddy system', it was hard times indeed for an aspiring GS'er. If one had wanted to climb the gamer ladder, they basically had to never log off...

I'm not good at that sort of commitment. I'd probably wear myself out trying to gather daily manna for the both of you during your sick time.

I read an article in a magazine that interview a bunch of big corporate human resource managers - they said they will pass up on someone with a long unemployment period because they assume that if other jobs have passed you up - there's a reasoning.

Simple explanation.

Who do you think will have less depreciation in their skills. Someone who has been out of work a month or someone who has been out of work for 2 years?

What I don't get is why they are specifically looking for people who already have a job....all that would tell me is that they are more likely to quit and leave you high and dry at the next opportunity. Then there's the fact that they either can't start for two weeks (after giving a two week notice) or if they can start right away that either means they just quit and left their previous employer on at the drop of a hat or their employer simply didn't want them anymore and waived the two week notice. Also they were likely taking time off work looking for the job and doing job interviews etc. and there's no telling if they'll do the same thing with the job you give them. Frankly to me that would raise alot more red flags than someone who's been unemployed for a long time during a major recession. I'm really not seeing the logic in those kind of hiring practices.

Yeah, if the person can do the job and is suitable for it, there is no reason not to hire that person :(
