Point Stealer

As you know there is the feature called Point Transfer. There should be a feature called point stealer. You type in a user name or ID and you can steal up to half of their points. So let's say a user had 4000 points, I could steal up to 2000 of them, but what if a user had 4001 points then I could steal up to 2000 of them, as users want that point extra.

Personally I don't think this is a good idea, for a few reasons actually, one being that certain users might abuse this feature beyond any reasonable limits.

Besides, why would you want to steal someone else's points?

Why not earn them yourself?

And, how would you feel if you spent a lot of time accumulating a nice tally of points, only so that half of it could be stolen by some one you don't even know?

um... as much as this feature is appealing, i have no doubt in my mind it won't happen.

The satisfaction of taking points from random users, but it'll get out of hand.

besides, what if you're me and have 72 billion plus?
you keep your greedy paws off half, and all my points.

Go earn your own points like I did, cheating.

well actually, i think the idea could be made into some sort of game or another. ya know, the winner gets some sort of privlidge. dunno .. but we could play around with thoughts along those lines yeh?

I don't think I like that idea. There are way too many people on the site who would abuse that feature.

sounds like marriage. She wants half. But honey, I don't want a divorce.

But Cala, I could have say 31 billion, and then come back, and take another what? 15.5 billion and so on, and the you'd have almost no points, it's a great idea. lol, not, I'm glad to say it should never happen.

It would cause much confusion.

Sense you points to be steal how about we just steal yours or admins give yours away.

Post 13 by CSection (Out standing in my field.) on Saturday, 26-Jan-2008 13:45:51

This is the most pointless, ridiculous idea i've ever heard.

Post 14 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Saturday, 26-Jan-2008 13:48:34

I wouldn't want anybody taking away my hard earned points.

Post 15 by SilkySarah (Veteran Zoner) on Saturday, 26-Jan-2008 13:51:21

This idea is almost amusing...if it wasn't so absolutely rediculous and stupid. WTF? Steeling points? ... Where are your morals!

Post 21 by Gilman Gal (A billy Gilman fan forever and always!!) on Saturday, 23-Feb-2008 2:59:45

all I can say is no! some of us work hard for those points and I don't know about you, but that would make me sick if someone took half of my hard erned points!

Post 22 by Svenja (don't need any!) on Saturday, 05-Apr-2008 7:16:52

I aree to most of you, simply nooooo! I am glad about letting that idea just a stupid idea.

Speaking of points, how do you guys win them? i mean, going against the computer is pretty much garanteeing your loss, right?

Post 24 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 11-Jun-2008 15:06:50

Gotta go with everyone here, and say no. I don't like the fact of getting half of my points stolen from me, after I just earned them.

Post 25 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Wednesday, 11-Jun-2008 15:23:51

Well I have 0 points right now. lol Try stealing half of that! :P Nope overall this is a bad suggestiong only because people will abuse it.

i don't like this idea, not at all!

to be fair, there could be a limit, say you have 1000000 points, you can only steal 2000 of that 1000000. so like a 5% thing or something, and only do it a certain amount a day, like 3. so this could be an interesting idea, but with some limitations. did anyone actually think of putting limitations, I didn't see any of that, just people saying the same thing, that this was horrible, I don't personally think so. I think this might be fun. like,

or something else, you have someone trying to steal your points, put a time limit on it, they put the suggestion in at one point, but then you click on a link that says to defend your points, but if you do that, there is a 50/50 chance that it might not work, but if you didn't hit that, then it is a 100% steal, so, say if you are online and you have three hours to defend your points, and you don't, or then again, say you do.

see, an interesting idea, just with some limitations and safe gurards. that would make it fun, a battle for the points kind of thing.

kind of like the facebook pet dragons application.

Sounds interesting in that perspective.

I'm not familiar with the pet dragons application, but, with some chance of losing points thrown in, this idea might have merrit.
Otherwise, I don't think it has a chance.
What if when you tried to steal points from another user, you also had the chance of losing the amount you hoped to steal?

pet dragons is a facebook application where you can train and rase your own dragon, but that's not the point, the point is that they have where you can attack other dragons, but there is a time, you hit attack, but that takes 12 hours to complete. so, I thought something like the time limite thing.

hmmm... now it sounds good!

the idea of atacking users for points...sounds awsome!
