HN Challenge - the blogless samurai.

It's given that HN is a somewhat elite community of thought leaders and taste-makers. Any tumult one can create here has the potential to redound disproportionately to the benefit of the poster, if the poster is well-prepared.

However, HN is also the reading-my-lunch entertainment for all these smart people, who are not immune to repostings of old programming rants, reposts for reddit, or yet another "how to become a better leader" or "10 ways to sell your 20th startup."

I propose the Blogless Challenge. How many HN karma points can you amass WITHOUT having a blog that you are trying to scare traffic towards, without any external links?

This does not fulfill any overt commercial purpose for posters or readers, but it might be an interesting way to experiment with what makes powerful ideas on HN, and, by extension, life.

I pledge to take this challenge. HN will be my blog, not my actual blog. When I troll HN, I AM TROLLING HN not trying to trick you into clicking through.

Who will play this game? Especially challenging is that you have to create a new account. Some famous programmer cannot just blow me out of the water because they link to their blog about their new Lisp.
