I was just wondering how people get such incredibly high amounts of points?

1: Spamming the shoutbox, each shout is worth 1 point.

2: Putting the money in the bank and having a high interest.

They work hand in hand, money gained by spamming goes to bank starting capital and interest modules (modules ?)  :heh:

Everyone doesn't spam though *hides*

I've only posted a few times and the credits are growing mostly because of interest.  Granted, if I could afford autocollect and then buy higher interest rates, it would be much higher. :-)

But alas, all I will be able to afford for a while is the name blurry thing, and I don't really want it! :-D

Luweeg, at last check has some 54% Extra Interest. I still don't know why he needs all of it.

It's a known fact that most people want to be known as the #1 at something.  Maby that has something to do with it.

By extra interest, do you mean - the interest rate maxes out at 100 and he has 54% above that?

If so, I think I may have to plague him with PMs begging for some Interest! ;-)  Or, I suppose...post more often?

you cannot go higher than 100%

He's at 54%, which means I'll have to keep my eye on the shop for the next re-stock.

just a side note: they could have used the casino item and gotten extreamly lucky

Double post. Fix that. Thanks.

I'm considering shutting off the IBStore to see if posts drop.

x, to tell you the truth I'd probably post more without the lack of something to make me feel uneasy about posting (I alawys try to get my parents to keep money for simple things like chores, I don't feel it earned).

maybe I'm paranoid, that the world will end, and when it will the only thing that will count as currency will be electronic opuf points

Lol, I put every point I get into the bank as soon as I get it. I don't hold back at all.

when I had more access to a computer, I posted alot and got auto collect and my intrest rate up to 13%, not much, but Ive got a nice store of points in the bank.

btw every time I look at the increase intrest thing its empty, granted I havent been able to look in over a month, and the next time ill be able to look will probly be 1-2 months away, ahh what do I care, Ive alredy got more creds than im ever going to use

and no, I wont give handouts, I probly wont be on to give them out anyway
I am the nincompoop, I eat atomic bombs for breakfest, fusion bombs for lunch, and anti-matter bombs for dinner

I just hope they don't explode
