I don't do well at the types of games that are on here. Short of takeing quiz's, and logging in there is no real way to get points. correct?
Thanks,
John

Is there actually a point to this post? If so please elucidate because at the moment, I'm at a loss. Where is the suggestion. I mean you are correct in what you say, but what would you have us do about it?

Wel I know for example music game would be something I'd be interested in seeing on here. I remember some topic being braught up about this verry thing a while back ago and thought there was interested people. That's the only thing I can think up.

yes, it might happen, but if it does, it's not going to be overnight. first, you will need someone to find a data base of questions, and um, well i'm not sure how it's going to work. we have trivia (bet that took ages to set up) but who knows, i guess all we can do is stay tuned

I can't think of another way to gain points. I'm not saying there should be a free lunch, but those games just aren't my thing. Though it is something I'm wondering about its not like those points can be redemed for anything so maybe I'm not mmissing out on much anyways.

I have to say that i am not good with most games and especially the word games and trivia. But high low is easy and gives a lot of points. I got most of my points by playing that. And premiums can bet 500000 so somebody can get points very easily.
I think some more ways to get points appart from games would be if people get good reviews for their audio profiles like an average more than 8 or maybe points for the best loggin message, boards rang etc.

Maybe points for best audio profile would inspire some people to do more than say "Hi, this is my voice." Some people on here are so creative and clever, and others shouldn't even bother doing a profile because they're just pointless.

i've thought of another one. well, we have a zone q and a board on here don't we? how about points for the person that helps out the most on there and answers the most questions? or something to that affect. just an idea wirling around while i was looking at this post.

That's not a bad idea, and I think it was brought up once. Probably similar to Yahoo! Answers.

I'm down with that. I do know how the site works and can help. Maybe the audio profiles idea would imspire me to write a new one since the one I have is over three years old? grin

yeah...i like it too

thing is, there's no reward for points anyway, so why do you want more?
If you're competing with someone, then surely you wouldn't want to just be given points like that? Wouldn't you want to earn them?
And do we really need more games?
