What are Brownie Points Good for?

Technically all Brownie Points mean is that you are on my good side. Brownie Points are not redeemable for anything and do not create any obligations between me and anyone else. BROWNIE.PTS is a tool that allows me to keep track of everyone who is in my good favor and to what extent. You will want to make sure you claim your BROWNIE.PTS because it would just be rude to refuse the BROWNIE.PTS and one day you may regret it; Karma can be a Bitch.

No Obligations

BROWNIE.PTS is merely a tool for my own use and I may choose to stop issuing brownie points at any time for any reason. I may reward them (or not) as I see fit, in the amounts I see fit, for the reasons I see fit. I may also seize brownie points from any account if you fall out of favor and anyone who complains in any way about how Brownie Points are issued or how I use Brownie Points is certainly not in my favor and may lose any Brownie Points they have earned.

I did not contact that particular exchange individually.

We gave the whole world NOTICE 30 days in advance and made posts on the proper threads where all upgrade announcements are posted.

[translation:]
How dare those impertinent imbeciles not follow our most generously timed proclamations!!

NO BROWNIE POINTS!!!

Meaning that Bitshares is nothing but an inherently flawed corporate token that is peddled by a bunch of really arrogant elitists.

In the Bitschares design, there are delegates, and there are lesser participants.

Which begs the question: Who are these anointed ones? And who anoints them?
