See what you mean, Lars. Still, in my humble opinion we may as well keep the original Kip scale, otherwise ting can quickly get too complicated. Personally, I have still another variant - or two. How many attacks pr. day? That is to say, how much rest do you get in between to gather strength for the next one? That counts a lot for me.
Second, how long do your cycle last? 3 - 4 months and the 10's get really ugly. Kip says 10, I say 12, but we probably mean the same thing - or close to. He says 'suicide thoughts'. For me a 12 is not a thought, it's a decision. Yeah, it's ugly, and I don't really want it added to the scale. Been there just once, and I never want to look down that dark hole again. Funny though, it wasn't ugly at the time, I felt nothing. But afterwards ... hell, let's stick to 10's!
