All right.
We'll do this here in Banana Top Secret/Between The Sheets, where oddly enough no-one sees any points and it is all egalitarian utopia and blissful
harmony and flowers and bees and pretty things. And few will read this, because it is such a secret place.
Now to share some Below Top Secrets.
(1) With this post I have increased my digits and moved from one palindromic figure to another... 99999 to 100001. That won't happen again any time
soon.
(2) My mood has been Roman numeral codified for a little while. It's just 10,000 x 10 = 100,000.
(3) I know where most of my points came from and I will give the lesson here. Listen and learn, and at all times be aware that ATS points are very
significant and insignificant.
(4) Posting posts with lots of links does no different for your points than posting original content. Someone please help out kurt.
(5) Lysergic, thanks for my soul back. Here's 100001 points. Keep the change!
(6) Gazrok, the matrix will be coming under a unique consultative regime soon.
(7) Yes, drunk, ATS Points are worth megabucks.
William has the ATS sell rate at US$100.00 per point, so for someone starting from scratch to buy my points position would cost US$10,000,100. That's
how much money I have. Ten million bucks. Or not. Because the buyback rate is only US$0.01 per point, giving me an ATS points net worth of $1,000.01.
(Not including liquidation of my email account, U2U capacity and RATS Forum membership)...
(8) Here is the road to "riches" story of the masked entity:
Points gained, rounded
13,000 - converted from previous ATS system
20,000 - awarded for anticipating the exact time of the 200,000th post
10,000 - contributing two graphics to ATS mastheads
16,000 - posting on four Collaborative Fiction projects
5,000 - Moderator insider appreciation/applause
1,500 - completing three surveys
1,000 - bonus stock issue a while back
balance - starting threads, responding to threads, and occasional little unexplained bumps, offset by periods where it has looked like the points
don't move at all.
Points spent
12,000 - Email account, RATS Forum entry, U2U capacity increases etc.
So, I have secured 112,000+ points from a mixture of things, and spent 12,000 of them, and there you have my current bank balance.
(9) So what?
Well, aside from the ultra-hush-hush majorly secret fantasy forum for 200,000 points, and the monetary valuation given above, the fact of the matter
is, there is potential for some real tangibles for people that save and invest wisely at ATS. We are talking about solid, highly desirable consumer
goods here. But I am not saying any more on that, it might spoil the fun of points for points' sake.
(10) I have only been in first gear. I will be moving to second shortly.
