Expedition: general discussions.

Maybe you should reread that post, Cop. It had a scale of appearance ratings, from negative, when a penalty is applied, to positive, when a reward is given, and even our classmates received these bonuses.

Well, I remember everything perfectly, that's why I said it. Yes, it was possible to get a bonus for beauty, but not everyone could get it. Xenomia had a situation like the one I described...
Whether it's fair or not is a complex question. It's upsetting, yes.

If you decided not to criticize the system itself here, as Ples did, but to nitpick at the specific instance, namely how I linked those few words into a sentence.

Well, yes, in this case, I criticized the specific instance because the logical inconsistency is clearly noticeable. In part, because for me, at the time, it was not a minor detail, but a fundamental point.
It's possible to nitpick at your post as a whole for quite a long and tedious time, hehe, but I won't do that, because I perceive it as a joke with a touch of truth :D After all, such moments and motivations could exist in some places (a little), although it doesn't specifically concern me.
