How could I forget? Have you ever signed another Doper’s bald head at a DopeFest? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by lno \* > \*\*Hm, I’m at 2% right now. (Shouldn’t the scoring be the other way? I’m a veritable Dopefest virgin- so, 98% pure, I’d think.) \*\* Good point. It’s been changed ---

38 percent so far . . . and when the new questions get added that number’s gonna go up. A LOT. ---

remember, the higher your score, the more pure you are. The real deves are the ones with the low scores. New questions added. ---

Damn, even with the revised scoring and my own padded questions, I only made it “down” to 33%. Not being a drinker works against me. What I need now is a ticket to LA and a case of tequila. ---

Dear God, 60%! My score should be going down, not up! It’s just because I didn’t get to dance on the bar at the July NYC 'fest…I had a headache, really and truly, and had to leave early. And I don’t drink, though I don’t let that stop me from getting crazy. I think simply having been at the most recent ChiDope should automatically shoot your score down to 30% or so. ---

I feel like I am mising out on the Dopefest! My “usual” purity test scores are decent (or not, depending on if you’re my parents :D) but, man, if all of this goes on at Dopefest, we need one in Edmonton!! Let’s get one going already! ---

I keep trying to get another one going - I was up last weekend. My Dopefest score is 75%. Odd. ---

I don’t think it’s scoring right - I took the revised one and got 0% 😕 ---

Hmmm… a score of 0?? that would require answering “yes” to all the questions. Let me go test it. ---

76% here, and I only got that because of kissing that LIONsob. Next Hou-Dope I swear I’m groping him too. ---

Aw, MAN. I’m at 83%, and that’s with having to stretch some answers in light of subsequent events. Looks like I’ve got some goals for January … 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-need-a-dopefest-purity-test/86906.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-need-a-dopefest-purity-test/86906.md?page=3)
