message 1: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments This is how the point system will work (these rules will start May 25th):

1. If a friend you invited joins, you get 5 points. Just message me that you invited someone.
2. If you finish the monthly book, you get 10 points. You get an extra 10 points if you discuss. Don't discuss unless you've actually read the book.
3. If you read a book (any book) you get 5 points. We will have a topic to post what books you've read in.
4. If you add any games you get 2 points.
5. If you participate in writing events, you will get 20 points. If you win an event, you get an additional 20 points.

DO NOT CHEAT! I can't stress that enough. Nothing is worse than working to win the most points and someone posts all these books that they haven't read or saying they invited these people when they didn't. Cheating can eliminate you from the point system. You may get a second chance and if it happens again, you may get removed from the group.

I may add more ways to get points if I have any ideas. Any questions?

How do we keep track?


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

How do you know we did these things? Honesty System?


message 4: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn So... books that we've read from this moment on?


message 5: by [deleted user] (new)

What do we win? When do we win? At the end of the year?


message 6: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn I'm going to create a game cuz I'm bored and it's a fun one...


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

lol and you get how many points?


message 8: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn Idk I just wanna play the fun game!!! :P


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

I got a few games to put on there.


message 10: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn Cool! Are they fun?


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, one of them is. I don't see how counting to 1000 is.


message 12: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn Hm.... yeah i don't either.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

And then there is the last person to post wins and 1000 ways to get kicked off the bus.


message 14: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn That last one sounds interesting.


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah...


message 16: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments UGH!!!! Okay! Don't make the game yet because it won't count on your points. You just win for the pleasure of winning. If this was a great big huge group, maybe the prize would be a givaway. I can easily tell what you've read and what you didn't. If I don't catch anything, then you may get free points, but you may take a high risk.

I keep track for you guys.

Xdyj | 418 comments Should we give points to those posting interesting comments? It would probably encourage non-spam discussions in this group.

p.s. so does it mean I've already got 20 points for reading & discussing the book for May?


message 18: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments That is a good idea because we have SO MUCH SPAM! I might just give a couple points if I do. I'm not sure if I will or not.

p.s. Yes, since we just have one book for May. If you create a game or invite a friend now, it doesn't count.


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh. I'll delete my games then.


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

We need someone to delete spam.


message 21: by [deleted user] (new)

No we don't. I like spam!


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm going to make a spam folder.


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

OK


message 24: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments YOU DIDN'T DELETE THE GAMES DID YOU?!?!?!?!?!

Do you mean we should move spam to a certain folder? How should we do that?

No

We delete spam in all the other folders and when we want to talk off topic we go to the spam folder and chat there.

We can't do that. That's where we spam from now on. I just REALLY want to delete it though...... We'll still have spam everywhere.


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

We will. Just make every folder a spam folder! :D

Agreed. Spamming is probably human nature. I personally don't quite mind spam, just hope to see a little more non-spam stuff.


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah. It gets kinda gets annoying after a while.


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay, we can spam as long as it's realted and not like this:


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

BANANAS ARE COOL!


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

lol


message 35: by Xdyj (new)

Xdyj | 418 comments So shall we start the point system today?


message 36: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Sure. Can you help me keep track of everyone's points? I won't be on as much anymore.


message 37: by Xdyj (new)

Xdyj | 418 comments Ok, I'll try. I will be in China from June 1 to June 28, where goodreads.com is probably blocked (another inconvenience of living in an authoritarian country), but I will try to log in through proxy or VPN.


message 38: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Okay! If not, I'm sure I'll be able to handle it all. Emily will help too.... I think.


message 39: by [deleted user] (new)

Maybe.

what's an authoritarian. like a dictatorship?
*gasps!!!*


message 41: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn I won't be on as much this summer either.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

Me neither :(


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

I probably will.

Probably, I don't really know. But we don't seem to have the freedom of the press/association/assembly/etc. in mainland China.


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

That stinks.


message 46: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments I always wonder what life is like in a country like that.


message 47: by Marjorie (new)

Marjorie Friday Baldwin (marjoriefbaldwin) | 191 comments So wait, no one ever got back to say what do you GET for all these points? What is the point of the points? haha

I just posted to the Creative Reviews group ((waves at Xdyj)) announcing that I'll be featuring my book here as a Secondary Group read in June (details shall be forthcoming soon so don't ask here - the thread shall be created and posted just as soon as Jonathan wakes up from his much needed sleep and I finish writing a blurb to post).

I invited all those 1000+ members to come on over here to join in the discussion. Does that mean I get points?

Jeff (Jefforama) | 6 comments How 'bout you get minus five points for spam, then if a user has negative points for more than, say, a week you throw them out of the group?

I don't really think spamming is a problem in this this group currently.

Plus, really, are negative points in the spirit here? Not that I've yet to figure out the point of the points :-)
