How are lurve points calculated?

Asked by rojo (24179points) March 26th, 2013

What I mean is does someone physically count them as they are given and/or at the end of the day and then award them? Is it done by machine? Is it automatic?

The little guy with the abacus shoves those beads around. Having eight tenacles makes the work go very fast.

@gailcalled There still is a lot of work for him even though the work goes fast. Why else do you think he gets so annoyed when a jelly pilots their submarine too close to him when he’s trying to get some rest?

^^^ He never rests.

A drunk chimp counting with his fingers & toes, random errors abound.

It’s done by the program automatically and instantly.

That’s my job. I’m in Australia so most members are asleep when I’m awake so I can do it without them noticing. Bit like Santa except I don’t have a beard. @augustlan sent me a huge jar of balls with one, three or five on them and for every good answer or question and for each day you attend, I flip them across from one jar to the next and then add the total to your previous day’s score. Takes a while and I’m sort of glad when we have a quiet day. I am scrupulous about being fair and ethical though. No favouritism here from me. I also don’t accept bribes… well perhaps in Tim Tams.

I’ve been told that the formula = how progressive/left/liberal you are plus a bonus if you are an atheist.

Haha, you guys crack me up! @marinelife has the actual answer, though. The system does it automatically, as it’s accrued.

I am glad you clarified that @augustlan I was having a hard time picturing @Bellatrix as a little male chimp with no beard coming down my chimney on Christmas with a huge jar of balls in one tentacle, an abacus in the other and her chads torn asunder.

That’s just what @augustlan wants you to believe. In truth, she stands over me, in those terrifying boots of hers, and tells me who to give lurve to, and how much. She whips me brutally until I get it right. Why do you all think I’m so damned bitchy all the time?

Damn @rojo! Did @augustlan take a photo of me at work!

She is a tough task master @WillWorkForChocolate.
