 [META][INFO] How to Score Points

What are the confirmed ways to score points? (besides joining?

We should organize ourselves around those and set some goals based on the people who post here.

EDIT - topic - SG

OK, here's what I've seen sofar (ways to score):

-Join - one point
-Upload pic with the ant in it - ? points
-Upload challenge - ? points, only if Gamem8ker likes it
-Keep thread count up in General Forums - ? points?

Re: that last one... they keep getting deleted, but if we post fast enough (meaningful posts), they add points?

Can you post a picture of *any* location with the ant?

Is there anything stopping me printing an ant out tomorrow, and taking it up town for a photoshoot, and then claiming points? I thought they wanted specific places, like the flight-codes that was going around.

Do random, but recognizable if possible (buildings, adds for popular companies, landmarks, museums, etc). What you propose is exactly what we all need to do over the weekend.

I didn't manage it today (went to bed at 5am-ish, up again and out taking mom to Bilston market at 10am) but i'll get some of the ants printed out, and take some around Wolverhampton this week. I could also possibly make Birmingham too, but i kinda suffer from a social disorder and can't go to many places on my own.

Joining

Why don't we try and get as many people to Join Us as possible we could just forward an email to anyone we know asking us to join. if they were interested they could help us otherwise we would just score the points.

Looking at my e-mail account I know I have over 50 friends who would join. Theoretically if everyone did we would be able to times our points by fifty putting us in the running!!!

Anyone know if there's a limit to how big the pics can be that you're uploading? I have like 20 i want to upload, but it keeps telling me that there's a problem each time I try.

I just uploaded 7 myself, and I used photoshop to save them at "medium" resolution. Worked fine for me... I think.

actually I tried something (based off of one of the conversations at the ilovemyxbox site) and I created a colony with a name based off of teamwork... I called it commonwealth and I actually got 10 points for every person and an addition 10 bonus points for every person... so that's 20 points PER person...

if anyone wants to join/see for themselves the pass is 88167053

i think that was why the brotherhood did so well it had to do with their name or rather the intent behind it

[QUESTION][META] How to get bonuses

I notice most people are getting the majority of their points via bonuses. How have they been going about getting bonuses. Thanks for any help.
