How To Get Points
I got points for just sitting here waiting for the next heist to start. Hopefully soon I need sleep!

Wow! I just came up and wow... Teams? I guess I'm green, and I'm winning? Hopefully?

Ok, maybe now I understand the points systems!

Hmmm, I think now we combine as a team to finish the heists first. First place probably gets an additional application or something.
Let's do it!

Well, I don't seem to have accumulated any points yet, even though I've completed just about all the content I can find here. Who knows, really, maybe I'll just have to post more?

I wonder if it counts if I already had an avatar before this whole... points system.

I should have thought to look here for how to get points...good job.
A fool is one who does not understand the proportionate value of things.

Hmmmmm....I wonder how do they actually keep track of these points.
Must be some kind of algorithm.

It looks like I gained 11 points for being assigned a team color

Super helpful post, daba. You're certainly on to some things there!

Still waiting for my points from avatar upload and forum posting. I've heard folks say waits could be up to an hour. Anyone know how long the wait is typically for team assignment?
Thanks,
Bubba

If people haven't been placed into teams yet do they have to wait the same period of time that the rest of us did? Also, what if someone missed the aptitude test, is it still available to those who haven't taken it? Also, Dibs on all "Free Agents" for Team Orange.

Good for you (and the Purple Pirates/Parrots/whathaveyou). I can't seem to get my points to budge today.
At least it's keeping me on the MacHeist site longer!

Some guy with a few more points.

I have a hard time believing that the points are given out randomly, that would be just stupid.

Who cares what gives us points! We should all just enjoy the community (the true purpose of the points, regardless of the misdirection of the moderators and administrators and awesome MH staff) and have fun, and the points will follow. More intelligent posts = more fun =?= more points.

Currently I tend to believe the people saying that points are handed out randomly: hantu (5th poster in this thread) has 5 posts (like me), no avatar and yet he has 253 points while I have only 150. Of course I completed the nano heist, watched the briefing and debriefing and took the test...maybe this post changes my points...we'll see

my points just jumped! the only things i did were entering the chat, subscribing the feed and searching on the forum! so something from these 3 gives points!
Did you know the word "purple" comes from porphyra, which is the name of a purple dye made from the mucus-secretion of the hypobranchial gland of a marine snail known as the Murex brandaris.
Not funny anymore is it?
