Title: Keep Your Head in the Game
Each player shall receive 10 points for each week in which he or she makes at least one post on any of the Newomic forums. A week is counted starting from midnight Sunday in the administrator's time zone. The length of a week may be 1 hour more or less than 7 days in the case of adjustments for Daylight Savings Time.

There is no "point system" or anything for now.

I don't know what you're talking about. Personally, I've got 50 points. They're not *good* for anything, but the rules state quite clearly that I've got them.

I don't think that's a reasonable stance. You have to allow *some* leeway for interpreting natural language or this game can never get anywhere. By stating that some players receive points, it is implicit (in a safe, unambiguous way) that there exist a game entity called "points" which can be possessed by players. Obviously future rules may have something to say about what points are and what they're good for. But I think the invokation and assignment of them is clearly enough to establish their existence.

Itīs at least bad style if not without meaning. There is nothing that a player (in this "domain") naturally has besides a name maybe. But itīs much more meaningless to discuss to much about it ![[Wink]](../images/wink.gif)
Note: "to" is correct here *yippie*

I really don't see anything wrong with it. After all, points may have some meaning later on. This is just preparation for that time. It's like the territory proposal -- totally meaningless right now, but rich with possibilities.
