What's the deal with points?
Posted: Friday, October 2, 2009 - 17:50
I'm sure I am not the only one annoyed by the 25 points game. Does the person with the most points get an autographed t-shirt or what? If you are going to respond to a post, at least have something to add besides "25 points whoohooo!!"

In for the autographed shirt! Woohoo!
I don't understand it, either. What do points go towards?
It's very mysterious. No one really knows, so everyone just has a little fun with it.
5 measly points

You'd think by the way a lot of people are consumed w/ the points that the winner will get a live private concert by the band.
Which isn't the case, right? If so, I've been missing out!

I wanna live, and I want you to live happy and free
I thought the points actually went to badges....I think..not sure. But sometimes you just have to jump at the chance...no hard feelings Tommy?!
Absolute control of the entire The Avett Brothers Inc. to the person with the most points.
Another point mystery is that on different places on the board I have differing numbers of points. I hardly ever log out, but when I do and log back in it tells me I have like 46 points. Now that ain't gonna cut it!

Rejoice always, Mark
Ughhhhh I try and be a good sport but this 25 points nonsense is driving me nuts.
Well that stinks alyx, because I just do it to impress the girls.

Ha is that why everyone is doing it now? to impress the ladies of the boards?
^ That post just made me a hummingbird. Wahoo.
You guys need to get laid if you're annoyed but something so trivial.
Nobody knows, or really cares anymore, what the points are for. It's silly and almost ridiculous and that's the joke in acting like their worth having.
I, for one, am frequently amused by the point snatchers and usually it's when someone you wouldn't expect (like Katie recently) jumping in there to steal away those useless points.
Just relax and let people have their fun.

BobZ...You only get one point each time you log in...And those are separate from the other, creating content points. You've only logged out 46 times? Your entire time here? Not impressed at 'tall. *shakes head*
I'm choosing the man with the biggest bird for my team.

You get one point each time you log in.
Hardly worth the effort i think.
No hard feelings scrapper of course...I'm not calling anyone out cause lots of people do it and I couldn't even tell you who they are. Just wanted to know what the big deal was.
And no, T.A.F.K.A.M., I do not need to get laid. But thanks for the offer.

We all should break down the walls being built around us
"And no, T.A.F.K.A.M., I do not need to get laid. But thanks for the offer."
I wasn't offering, I was conseling. And judging from a few of your post lately....yeah....you really do.

Hopefully I get laid tonight, then I can post about it and get more points!

I'd rather shoot it out, bygod, than let them watch me hang!
^^I think my girlfriend would politely disagree with you
and godspeed chevelle, godspeed

I've come to understand that each thing you do that earns points are shown when you do them.
For example, logging in gets you 1 point and when you log in, it shows you how many points youve earns from logging in. When you post you get 5 points and it shows you how many points you have earned from posting. When you do get the 25 points for being the first to post, it will show you how many points you earned by being the first and how many you earned from just posting cause you actually get 30 points for being the first. And so on with friending people and making comments on pictures etc.
All the points go together in the end to make your total and get you an upgraded bird.
Just my understanding...and I probably do need to take TAFKAM advice...

T.A.K.F.A.M. are you saying if we get enough points we get laid? Im gonna start posting in every thread. WHOOHOO!

I wanna have friends.That I can trust.That love me for the man I've become not the man that I was.
That would give a whole new meaning to the term "score".

Do you only get 1 point per day for logging in?
--
You're the back and forth sway of the hammock all day...
"I'm choosing the man with the biggest bird for my team." - Best Post of the Day!
I think you can get many points per day if you log on and off and on and off and on and off - I think you get the idea. But I am just speculating without due investigation nor experimentation.
It is also still a mystery why the bonus 25 is not always applied.
Mao (yes, I know it is really you), you are crude, vulgar and insulting. Of course the points mean something. This is the Avett Brothers we are talking about here. They would not lead us down some meaningless path to nowhere. By the way, they promised to paint us some new birds. All the birds we have now are fakes produced by some corporate office. And that presents another problem. When the Avett-created birds come we won't get to see the ones we have already advanced beyond.

Rejoice always, Mark

I'll take 5 points. Now I'm going to go try to get laid.

The birds..... are fakes?!

and big birds...
sorry, had to be in on this epic thread...and snag a few points
/No idea what the point thing is but have played along anyway...peer pressure...
I must announce I have now achieved Mockingbird status and am officially a bada$$ bird.
Ever seen a Mockingbird harass a cat?

Each time 25 points are earned, an angel gets its wings...

"Ever seen a Mockingbird harass a cat?"
yes. yes i have....
and that cat's face of annoyance as he was being dive-bombed, still is burned in my brain!
i think if the cat could have talked it would have been all grumbles and curse words.
mockingbirds are indeed relentless, bada$$ birds!
i've even watched them chase off hawks w/out a bit of fear.

"let's talk about something that is important for posterity"
From what I've noticed you only get 1 point per day by logging in. So you can't continue to get points from logging in over and over all day.
lately, i've been friending people. you earn 10 easy pts for every friend that doesn't even know you're their friend!
--
"let's talk about something that is important for posterity"
Oh Tommy Boy Sweet sweet boy. The 25 points game annoys you? Maybe we should ask permission before we make first replys? Is it ok if we make posts on our own?
Mao you vulgar man, you!
ETA WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

but seriously, no one knows what birds signify (other than number of points)? i think its kind of silly.
OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!!

This post is utterly pointless...no wait, it isn't!
Point blank-some funny people on this board.

Ya'll are hilarious...
Points...boatloads of points...
I have 5000 now! Yay! Has anyone made it to 8,000? Did you get a new bird?
Have you ever created a Mad Libs with an Avett Bros song using words from this post (points, laid, bird, biggest bird, logging, 25, and vulgar)?
I tried it with Laundry Room (and took some liberties here and there). Alright, it's not iambic pentameter, but here goes...
Don't bird me out,
just a little laid
Stall your points,
disregard your vulgar words.
Close the logging door,
tiptoe across the points
Keep your bird on,
I got laid 25 points can take
Teach me how to use
the points that people say you laid
Stop your vulgar logging
I just saw a shooting bird
We laid upon points
but we won’t share the biggest bird
But i cant keep no secrets,
I wish that you would (all get) laid
Last night I (got) laid the whole night long
I woke with a head full of 25 points
I laid the biggest bird
I laid ‘em down but its a bird
Tonight I’ll burn the points,
‘cause logging birds was vulgar
Break this tired vulgar bird,
and this time don’t log 25 points
I am a biggest bird machine,
I laid you all for 5 points!
no points for creativity. still just 5
oldsorryman: I watched two mockingbirds attack a cat at my job the other day. I will not mess with those things.
