So Martin was giving bounties to himself (Gamow)? What's the point?!

@randal'thor Maybe you could pay some back here? puzzling.stackexchange.com/a/8190/4450

You said "No amount of upvotes could be enough", but maybe a bounty would do? Just a thought. :)

wait, Gamow had bounties?

I only see one for +100

(also, I'll say it right now, I guess, but I'll give out any bounties I receive; I want my score to be pure and bountiless :P)

(the above does not constitute an excuse for rand al'thor to give half of his bounties to me :>)

no, please, do not give me loads of bounties

that's the last thing I want ;-)

also, if he's been deleted, how come I can still see his profile page?

@xnor: you make it sound so sarcastic :3

i meant that they suddenly stopped posting questions and answers

and they used to post good puzzles quite often

i was reminded because rand pointed out that you'd nearly surpassed Gamow in rep

@pacoverflow Not bounties, but fast answers and accepts, which get upvotes

@JoeZ. don't spoil stuff in the comments please

wait, I was spoiling stuff?

where?

@xnor oh, okay, that makes sense

(but yeah, I don't know where I was spoiling stuff o_O)

@Emrakul Ahah, so that sock was a puppet :D puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/11066/…

@JoeZ. I meant in the comment on my Alphabetize puzzle that you quickly deleted

oh, well, I was going to answer it anyway, so... :P

@xnor I think some people really do suspect @d'alar'cop and I are the same person! @JoeZ. said he sometimes gets us mixed up, and @leoll2 was making some very strange comments :-p

@JoeZ. 31/100, but I'm not too bothered about that. Like you, I focus more on answers (I think I have more answers than anyone else on PSE?)

@xnor Totally agreed! As if SE wasn't addictive enough already...

@pacoverflow But that's a community-wiki answer! I meant pay it back to @d'alar'cop. I've seen people talking about where I'd be if I didn't have that 3000, but has anyone stopped to think where 'Cop would be if he did have it?

@JoeZ. Congrats on being #2 user again! :-D

oh, thanks :P

and cop would be back at 5th place

(and you would still be first :P)

@randal'thor FYI, you could still award a bounty on a community wiki answer (meta.stackexchange.com/questions/146983/…). 'Cop would be around 8700 if he hadn't bountied those points!
