Just a quick question. I should probably know this, but how are user scores determined? Is it just the score of that user's best article?

Actually the user score is a value determined by the sum of the scores of all of a user's articles that have a positive total score. We originally intended it to be the sum of ALL scores, but I didn't think it would be fair to writers who are just starting out, so I changed it.

I suppose I should put something in the FAQ about this.

Dri focused on the glass sphere that relaxed in a velvet cushion, the creak of the bow dispelled the suffocating silence, his lips tightened into a thin line as he drew it back and his green eyes sharpened. A sigh escaped him as he relaxed the bow.

“No.” he breathed, disappointment soured his face, “not good enough....
