Somebody school me on the "points" thing

[Timbeck2]

I've got 129 "likes" and 43 "points"....what does that do for me? If I get so many do I get a coupon for a free Slurpy at the 7-11?

 

[Let'sgoflying!]

If you don't make the minimum points, you are purged from the system. Viruses are sent to your computer. Mechanical gremlins, to your airplane.

Uh, it's just proof; We're still in Jr. High.

I think you need to have at least 200 likes and 5000 points to get a Slurpy. And there is this really complicated process to go through to redeem those points, multiple forms, emails, documentation of activities, etc...

If you get 500 likes your posts start deleting other less relevant posts on a thread. There's a lot of complicated programming to do that...best not to dwell on the details..

That, and a couple bucks will get you a cup of coffee anywhere.

If I get a POA Visa card, do I get bonus points?

Maybe not, but I think whomever talks 6PC into pulling the red handle can be declared the winner.

How many points needed for a complimentary chute repack?

How many points needed for a complimentary chute repack?

Is that where the guy doing the repack compliments you on your astute choice of his Cirrus Service Center (as he hands you the invoice)?

 

[SkyDog58]

Yeah, I think there are a few chute packers on here.

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

Mom always liked you best.

 

[Dan Thomas]

Where do you see these points?

Only points I'm interested in are in magnetos.

 

[AggieMike88]

I think JCranford has this skill...

Ahh, a favorite Smothers Brothers quote

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

I have been trading my points for POA bucks.
Troy says they are a real thing. I send him a screenshot showing my points and a check for $100 and he gives me credit that he says will one day be good for POA swag.

I have 11 POA bucks now and it was only like $700

In that case, I'm screwed.

 

[denverpilot]

I hear if you get enough points you can get a metal landing calculator.

 

[GlennAB1]

Only points I'm interested in are in magentos.

Good one!

[SixPapaCharlie]

Win!

 

[NoHeat]

I've got 129 "likes"

And now you've got 132.

If that's not enough for that slurpee, maybe you can get one of these mustache straws:

Score your points, pick your prize!

 

[timwinters]

"see your likes"??? Sorry, wrong!

Actually he was right.

And on a serious note, here's how points are accumulated:

First, I was not aware of either likes or points - or trophies for that matter
Second, I would not bother to look if you held a gun to my head
Third, if I am getting 'likes' I am either doing something wrong or there are delusional people out there who don't have a life
And finally, you maggots can go back to doing what you were before reading this - which is a waste of the oxygen you are consuming

I gave you a like.

 

[Checkout_my_Six]

I didn't give any likes here....

 

[GlennAB1]

Actually he was right.

'Likes received', and, 'your likes', are nowhere near the same thing.

 

[Caramon13]

Well your experience was different then the guy I observed trying to redeem his points..apparently they have a VERY limited selection:

 

[timwinters]

Pedantic thinking...you knew what he meant...I knew what he meant...I also hate people who overuse ellipses...or who misuse them...or who omit the spaces that are supposed to be adjacent to them...except when using ellipses in conjunction with quotation marks... " ...then no space is required... " ...

 

[Checkout_my_Six]

Yup.....

Hey, Mr. Four Period ellipses.

 

[eman1200]

Hey, Mr. Four Period ellipses.

I think that's just 1 1/3 ellipses.
