mootling

We’re a little bit out of control with the punnage here in Yootopia…

1/100 of a yootle: a pyoony.

100 yootles = 1 yahootle.

[update:] 1/4 yootle = 1 qyootle

A fantasy (play money) yootle: a fyootle.

Relatedly, when we’re yootling for something of zero consequence as an exercise/experiment, we’re mootling.

And of course we have high yootility for our yoosers, even when feedback is brootle.

    Kapootle reminds me of how glad I am the weekend is here. :)
    Forgive me please, I am just a harmless old footle often referred to as a nimcompootle…
    Sorry, just couldn’t resist.

    I’m very interested in Yootles, but the only discussion of the details I can find on yootles.com seems to envolve higher mathematics, which (unfortunately) is a non-starter for me. Is there a layman’s
    guide to Yootles?

    I think I get some of this. But I have questions like: do you zero everyone’s yootles credit after a decision is made? If not, how does that effect fairness? OTOH, can you only bid as many yootles as you currently have, and how does *that* effect fairness?
