The lounge Scorecard!

[ThomCat]

I joked in a post that you score extra points if a milestone post gets deleted. What else do you score points for, and how many points do you get?

Some suggestions

Flirting: 5 points for each person with a virtual crush on you.

Posting a good copycat thread: 10 points.

Posting a bad copycat thread: -5 points.

Posting a really, really bad copycat thread: 15 points.

1. I think we should get more points for flirting

just saying...

:evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

2. Okay, so how many points should we get?

:7

Should we get points each time we flirt, or per person that we flirt with?

Should we form a pannel to judge the quality of the flirting and award bonus points? :9

:rofl:

[lizziegrace]

3. I vote for a panel

This way I'm a guaranteed not to get many points because I'm just not that good at it...

;)




:P


Having a good day today??

:hug:

4. The long term arthiritis med is slowly kicking in.

The pain has retreated in my shoulder and hip, and it's easing up in my wrists. :)

Week by week I am starting to show some improvement. I'm assuming that the recent gains are going to continue. I'm being optimistic. My pain management doctor is being more cynical.

My strength level keeps going up and back down again, so the meds aren't helping that, but I can deal with the weakness as long as the pain eases. It's great to feel to like things are improving, even if it's small incremental changes.
:hug:

[lizziegrace]

6. ...

the retreat is terrific news! I hope it continues for you. :hug:

[AllegroRondo]

5. other suggestions

posting a good photo: 5 points

posting a good photo of a kitten: 10 points

posting a bad photo: -5 points

posting a photo of Carrot Top: -1,000 points

[ThomCat]

7. We definitely need points for kitty pictures!

And cute puppy/dog pictures too. Matcom's pug is adorable! He gets points for that!

[unpossibles]

22. this is my dog

I think she's cute, but some find her to be scary.

she sasses us a lot with this face....




(and no, we don't give her chicken bones)

[ThomCat]

24. It looks like she's grossed out by the chicken.

Making a "grossed out" face. :rofl:

[unpossibles]

47. ha! Yes, I can see what you mean, but trust me

she is an "omnivore" in every sense of the word. There're not many foods she won't eat (although there are many things I won't let her have).

[Hawkeye-X]

12. And this earns you negative infinity.

[ThomCat]

14. Oh, you just had to go do that.

:rofl:

[Hawkeye-X]

19. Well, who'd want to see Carrot Top buffed up?

Certainly not me.

[BarenakedLady]

8. I'd better brush up on my flirting then

and kitten pictures...

;)

[ThomCat]

13. Yes, there are a bunch of guys around here

who would really appreciate some more flirting. Practice makes perfect, you know. :P

[ThomCat]

9. If you have a signature post,

like NewYawker99's milestone posts, or Matcom's offbeat news posts, then those should get some points. But how many? :shrug:

:)

[wildhorses]

20. what about my 'its real simple' threads???

does that count, huh...huh....does it? please!!!!:bounce:

[ThomCat]

23. Of course!

:hug:

If we know it's you just from the subject, then it definitely counts. :)

[Hawkeye-X]

10. If DS1 photoshops your pic thread

Give yourself 100 points!

[ThomCat]

11. Hell, yes!

:)

[EstimatedProphet]

15. I must have raked up a lot of 15s by now!

[Joe Fields]

16. thread hijacking...-10 points.

obvious attention getting threads...-10 points.:eyes:

[ThomCat]

21. Aw, come on. Threadjacking is an art form.

:P

I'd give someone 5 points for an artful, successful thread-jack.

I don't have anything against most attention-getting threads either. People like some validation at times. I think people should get 0 points for posting one, but +1 point for responding kindly to one.
:grouphug:

[Joe Fields]

27. whatever floats your boat.

For me, it gets real tiresome. I find nothing artful about it. It only reminds me of a powerful need for attention.

[ThomCat]

29. In other forums I would absolutely agree with you.

In the lounge, that's sort of the point. :)

[taterguy]

17. How do you know how many people have virtual crushes on you?

[ThomCat]

25. You just have to keep flirting with people until you figure it out.

:7

[tjwmason]

18. Photo deleted - 10 points

Post deleted in trivial dispute - 15 points

Sub-thread deleted in trivial dispute - 20 points

Thread locked in trivial dispute - 25 points

Thread deleted in trivial dispute - 50 points

[ThomCat]

26. If those are positive points

15 points, not -15 points, then some of us will have a hell of a lot of points. :rofl:

[tjwmason]

48. Oh, definitely positive points

:evilgrin:

[mainegreen]

28. Being the thread killing post : 5 points.

[ThomCat]

30. Oh yes. The thread-killers deserve some recognition too.

:rofl:

I think we all go through phases when we kill everything we touch.

[Guava Jelly]

31. I think you deserve extra points

if you unintentionally piss of a prude with a humorous thread :D

[ThomCat]

32. See, I think that discounts the "prudes."

Even humor has its limits of good taste.

We'll have to fight over this one. Foam weapons on the count of 3! :P

[DS1]

33. Your call for foam weapons is sexually suggestive and I'm alerting the mods!

[ThomCat]

36. Who do you think keeps the weapons?

I hear they've got a collection of boffer swords to beat us all down with if we get out of hand. :P

[Gormy Cuss]

34. Use of foam weapons in the lounge : 5 points. n/t

[Guava Jelly]

35. on guard!!

(foam sword) :D

I know it is hard to not offend everybody.
But the term lighten up should be adopted on some occasions
(unless abuse or bigotry is involved that is)
thats all i am saying..
and my break is over grrrrr! :D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. 10,000 SUBTRACTED when you post a pic of a woman just to criticize it.

[AllegroRondo]

39. does that include Guliani in drag?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. yeah it does.

[MissMillie]

40. I like that one

:thumbsup:

[ThomCat]

41. I suggest expanding that a bit, but moderate the points

Whenever anyone posts a picture of anyone just to insult or criticize that person they lose 100 points.

I agree that it's almost always women who get singled out for abuse this way, so your point is a good one. But let's be careful not to paint ourselves into a corner. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. well you are welcome to create a scale for men too, however since this is done to women more often

i made my scale for women :P

[MissMillie]

38. 200 points

for having a thread that sinks from the front page in less than an hour


:shrug:

I have to find some way to win at this game....

[ThomCat]

42. If you don't have a pile of points

then there's something wrong with the scorecard. :hug:

[Gormy Cuss]

45. Posting a thread that's a sure bet to be locked: -5 points.

Garnering at least ten "IBTL" replies before the lock: priceless.

[ThomCat]

46. I wonder if the Mods have their own scorecard for

rating posts before they lock them. :P
