#point system

[gingers-emotes]

so i have adhd and when i was younger my parents had a point system but i was able to crack the code to do the minimum amount of effort while still getting to play games every day and i told my parents this the other day and they said 'oh thank god. that was the point. we wanted you to find those things the best and make you think you were tricking us because it's actually really useful for you to learn. because you have adhd your brain will work to figure out those puzzles and try to find the most efficient path to get the most output with the least input. so we would incentivise the things you were having the most difficulties with [eating , getting ready in the morning] and set the points so you would do those to get your reward.' so basically from a young age my parents were playing 4d chess to help me learn how to manipulate and trick the system into giving me the best result while not having to do much work.

Am I the only one that would like the point system in f1 to change? Like I don't know how but the fights for 11-20 are essentially useless and the teams that drive here a lot of the races (Sauber, Willams, Alpine) get no reward for finishing 13 instead of 14 after a heavy fight. What is your opinion on this?

I'm loving this new series author 🥂🥂

But like.......points?????? i genuinely can't understand that part

thank you so much! i’m so glad 😊

no problem, i'll explain it in a little more detail ;)

for some options, if it’s interacting with a character, there are certain poll options that, if chosen, will earn you these points.

the higher the character points, the better relationship you have with them. if you have a poor number of points with a character, it will effect how good your relationship is with them, and therefore (could possibly) even change the course of the narrative

so, to start off with, each character you’re going to see, will have 0 points. Completely neutral for the time being. If you choose a certain poll option, i have a note of how many ‘points’ that’s worth with the character, and it may either go up or down.

I’ll give an example:

Imagine Sidekick comes up to you with a present, and wishes you a happy birthday. Which might be a bit awkward...since your birthday isn’t for a few days. Some options could include:

Tell them politely they got the wrong date.

Laugh at them...be a little mean.

Take it and pretend it is.

Pretend you’re busy and make a run for it.

Something like that. I have a note (that you obviously will not be able to see) of how many points that’s worth for each option!

Tell them politely they got the date wrong. (+2)

Laugh at them...be a little mean. (-1)

Take it and pretend it is. (+1)

Pretend you're busy and make a run for it. (±0)

Let’s say, ‘tell them politely they got the date wrong’ won the poll. Then, congratulations! You collectively earned 2 more character points with Sidekick, and your relationship is stronger. I will make a note of the relevent character points you’ve earned at the end of the poll for each part.

These points can be used to change the narrative (for better or for worse), or, if you have enough, be able to choose new poll options.

hope this helped and explained it all a little easier! <3

Does anyone understand how the hogwarts point system works? Save the day WHABAM 500 points, annoy snape WHABAM you no longer have 500 points.

Life on earth really is too complicated, look at these points, it’s impossible to get into the good place.

I wonder how many Good Place points I get deducted every time I tell restaurants I don’t want to donate to the children’s hospital.

I really hope that the Bad Place isn’t actually messing with the points and the system has just grown so basis/corrupt that it’s impossible to win, which results in a total revamp of the system at the end of the season.
