I HEREBY BEQUEATH ALL MY ACTIVERAIN POINTS (fun)

Reblogger Evelyn Johnston
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Friends & Neighbors Real Estate RB14036506

Haven't we all been at the stage where we are trying to gain as many points as possible? Either we want to be first in our City, then first in our State and then high on the Leader Board? I know I have! Then you reach your goal and slow down for a while. I actually took about a year and a half off until the Meetups started and Amanda and Jared Christiansen held their meetup in Fort Wayne. Larry and I attended and Jared told me he wanted my #1 spot in Indiana. That pushed me back into daily participation. For that I thank you Jared!

Yes its true. When I finally depart from this world of posting, commenting and blogging, I want all my subscribers to inherit my ACTIVERAIN points to be divided amongst them equally. Even if they didn't comment on my posts or offer a re-blog or a "like" but did subscribe, they get their share. Please no quarreling on this momentous occasion

TWO for ONE

Should more subscribers exceed my bankable points, then my points are to be diluted by half thus assuring that all get something even though it would take two half points to make a whole one point. Remember, it is the thought that counts and not the point. The thought of the point has value too

PROOF OF ACTIVERAIN ENROLLMENT

The points are just a reminder that when I was here, in the RAIN, participating, commenting, liking, re-posting, doing contests and having warm thoughts, they serve as a form of proof for those that require it. You can tell a lot about a person using their points too

MY FOOTPRINT

Points mean you counted and were counted. The more points you acquired, the more experience one gathered and is a true test of activity if there ever was one. Its like a well traveled path. It says that many have gone this way. Points say that my footpath was real, thus points are like a foot print

DELIRIOUS

For the record, when I first got started, I was affected with a severe case of point fever. This is when you blog for points sake and nothing else sort of like a tunnel vision with sever point thirsting. The symptoms present themselves at start-up when you sign up and you see you get points for doing so.

ITS THE FREE-GENE

I tracked down this infectious infection to a random gene called FREE-GENE literally. It is in everyone and if not contained drives one mercilessly to gather all they can whether they need it or not. The gene shows itself with over-eating, not practicing fair-share when necessary and aggressive "must gain" at all costs behaviors

THIS DOESN'T HELP

I was obsessed with rankings too. Warning someone wont help either. You can, via your points, rise up in the ActiveRain world designated by City, County, State and Leader-board. When you come across a fellow Rainer that is slow or asleep on rankings, it makes one want to pass them and celebrate the event

THE FORCE AWAKENS: ACTIVERAIN POINT WARS

That's how the gene feeds. The problem is that if you check your rear view mirror, you will see the gene in others engaged and they are flooring their point wagons wanting to pass you too. Then, you no longer are living for quality postings, comments and pleasurable blogs but all the points you can eat

IN THE TRENCHES

Never the less, I earned all the points regardless of motives. Be assured that the points my subscribers are bequeathed were action acquired, battlefield tested and true. I have set aside about 1000 points as commemorative ones as well. These are to be given out as follows

SPECIAL POINT AWARD

Each point is encased in its own plastic covering, decorated in color of choice, to those that hit the post heights, leaving behind useful data, commenting and tools of the Real Estate trade but not limited to that. Sorry, no jokes, recipes or just for fun posts qualify either. Bob Stewart to give these out randomly

NOTE: The point-award is in the shape of a giant finger that is pointing with the pointer finger in an upward position. It has hologram traits that if viewed at an angle, points downward too. Rapid viewing makes for the illusion of a finger going back & forth as if it was saying...no no no

Richie Alan Naggar  so you are saying it is not about Quantity but about quality? you know I find that funny reminds me of the Captains of Industry, they stepped on everyone to amass their wealth and when they reached that point they started giving away their wealth.... so that you have amassed your point wealth you are ready to give them away... based on the comments above they are not ready yet:))Endre

My favorite comment from people "oh I am not very competitive".  Yet they seem to be the first to know when they are # 1 in a certain stat.  It is in all of us rather admitted or not.  I freely admit I am a gamer.  Mark
