Do I get points because I actually know where that comes from, and knew it immeadiatley upon seeing it?

From what I understand of these things, you get points, often various and arbitrary, when you actually make the reference. If you recognize the reference, then you can award points. You can also award points if you understand an obscure reference has been made. However, if you are wrong about the reference by either citing it incorrectly or seeing one when one actually isn't there, then your own reference points are taken away.

This entire conversation should be taking place inside Dante's convenience store.

For some reason, I hear the voice of Drew Carey in my head, saying "Everything's made up and the points don't matter." Wink

Not yet having a Live connection, I can appreciate the skill necessary to make the other team do all the dying, but what does an "assist" refer to? Getting in a few good rounds on the target before someone else provides the coup de grace?

Yep, basically each shot you land on a person reduces their shields, which after a short period of not being shot that persons shields will recharge. If I reduce Incyr's sheilds by landing at least one shot on him, then Krystyn cap's him prior to his sheilds recharging, I will get an assist and she will get a kill.
