OK, kiddees, I know that this has been an ongoing issue, what with another thread already in progress on this very topic. That weak attempt of justifying yet another thread aside, I shall proceed…

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PROCEDING!



Uncle Buck’s Sure-fire List of Enhancing Your CP Status:

1. Keep a running list of newbies. Newbies, in general, have under 50 or so posts, one bar (gratis), and often do not know what a CP is. Yet to be tainted by the ways of the more sophisticated denizens who lurk hereabouts, they can be… well, “easy.” If you run across a post where the newbie asks, “What is a CP,” you are in like Flynt! But you’d better move fast, as everyone else and his sistah will be more eager than a one-meal-a-day-dog at feeding time to take him or her under his wing. But, in the event that you should get to the newbie first, the rest is a CP cakewalk for you! Just walk your target guy or gal through the ropes of giving out a CP, followed by, “Now, YOU try it!” Do NOT forget to add, “You can practice on me.” The downside of taking advantage of a newbie is that they are only good for one CP. You’ll need to find at least 3 – 5 newbies per day to equal the value of ONE typical regular. Enough said on this angle…whaddaya want from me? Want me to just HAND OVER my personal newbie list?? No WAY, Rose’!

2. This neatly segues from tip # 1 above. Sidle up to a “regular.” Regulars are easily spotted (but not easily fooled). Veteran regulars tout more bars (indicators of CP status) than Barstow, California. Find yourself a regular who not only has the bars, but has been a member for 3 or 4 years, you’ve struck GOLD, baby! This could be good for 6 or 7 points.

Well, that’s the easy part. Multi-bar generals are about as easy to bag as going up against a grizzly with a BB gun. They also have the power to “neg” you, if annoyed by your pea shooter. One neg from one of these types, and you are right back to newbieville. (Remember it can take a half dozen newbies to make up for one general neggie!)

3. Find yourself a Moderator. (this is the biggest game on the board!) Bagging moderator is not easy, but can STILL be done. But you have to be subtle about it. For instance, don’t go into shock and awe about Jared’s costume and tell him you want him as your mentor. Most likely, you will be zapped. Don’t go all gushy over LT’s red eyes and prattle over how cool it must be to be a major figure in the Star Wars legions. Chances are, he’s already seen “Misery,” and will quickly wonder if you are related to Kathy Bates.

Find a weakness in a Moderator. Take Jwinn. While he is hard but fair and will not put up with a lot of nonsense in this board, he has also has a soft side. He is family oriented and believed to be a pet owner. Find out the name of his favorite pet, and tell him that you would like to change your handle to that.

4. Find yourself a voluble girl in here. Show an interest in her sensitive side, and, once you are confident that she is taken in by you, share with her that you are losing your self esteem, in that you are not receiving the CPs that more popular members are.

Warning: the primary hazard of plying CPs from those of the female persuasion is that … well, you’ve heard the expression “a woman scorned.” Girls are suspected of PM-ing each other—and often! While I’ve never been brave enough to actually initiate a PM myself, I know that women everywhere have a secret network. Why do you think they go the bathroom together at a public place?? So take this to the bank: you scorn ONE woman in here, you’ve scorned them ALL, Jilted Breath!

If you have more guts than brains, however, venture forth at your own risk. But here is a brief list of femme denizens in here to avoid like Typhoid Mary: Jaws, Kapaibro (sp?), RedBirdy, HW, to name a few. Not that I’ve started up with any of them, but I can just read between the lines here. Oh, and don’t mess with Snapping Turtle. Mess with her (I don’t, she’s underage), and they are likely to claw your eyes out on the way back from the Lady’s Room!

5. Use reverse psychology. Incorporate something like “I HATE CPs—GIVE ME NEGGIES!” in your sig. I don’t know how successful this approach is, but I’m ashamed that even EYE have given him a CP or two…

Well, that’s the list in progress. I’m sure that those in here more experienced than moi can come up with a few more sure-fire tips!

uh yeah .

Heheh.... wow... talk about really going after those CP's. I imagine #6 should be, "start a thread involving how to get CP's or don't forget to give your CP's " . . These suggestions seem to be a mix of courtship and CP's. I don't spend this much energy on my GF .

You could also rename this thread... "how to whore for CP's " j/k. ;P

Funny post buck, worth the read.....

[Doggcow]

Jared your costume is awesome, will you be my mentor?

[CinnaManMan]

Or you could post good posts

And Snapping Turtle is an innocent, nice young woman!

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT ANOTHER CHEAP PLOY TO GET CP’S. THIS IS MERELY AN INFORMATIVE GUIDE TO THOSE WHO MAY FEEL CP DEPRIVED ON ANY GIVEN FOOTBALL-LESS SUNDAY, AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ALTERNATIVE TO JUMPING OFF A BRIDGE.
