Sorry, I'm still out of ideas.

Cassiebsg: 8 pts.

Spoiler

HINT: This inglorious squirrel uses two things added together. One is text based and the second is location based.

Stupot+: 14 pts.

Stupot · Mon 01/08/2016 23:32:02

Solution: is ut the number of words in the first line of your post + the time difference between the UK and the poster's location?

Kumpel · Tue 02/08/2016 01:23:48

Stupot+: Nope, but sooo close!

Cassiebsg · Tue 02/08/2016 14:50:52

Solution: is ut the number of words in the first line of your post + the time difference between the host's location (Germany) and the poster's location?

(Just stealing Stupot's line and idea...)

Kumpel · Tue 02/08/2016 22:58:14

Cassiebsg: nope, stupot+ has been closer

Danvzare · Wed 03/08/2016 14:35:24

Solution: is it the number of words in the first line of your post minus the time difference between the UK and the poster's location?

Because I have no idea what the solution is, and I figure I might be able to figure it out by just changing small aspects of the solution that Stupot+ came up with.

Kumpel · Wed 03/08/2016 18:46:46

Danvzare: nope. Wrong turn!

Cassiebsg · Wed 03/08/2016 19:01:30

Solution: Number of words in poster's post + difference of location time to the previous poster

Kumpel · Wed 03/08/2016 22:19:49

Cassiebsg: nope. That sounds crazy complex

Cassiebsg · Fri 05/08/2016 14:54:46

Trying again a variation of Stupot's solution...

Solution: is ut the number of words in the first line of your post + the time difference between GMT and the poster's location?

Kumpel · Fri 05/08/2016 17:29:07

Cassiebsg: Nope. Just one word is wrong

Danvzare · Sat 06/08/2016 09:30:37

Solution: is it the number of words in the first line of your post + the time difference between GMT and the poster's location?

Cassiebsg · Sat 06/08/2016 09:38:12

Solution: the number of words in the first line of poster's post + the time difference between GMT and the poster's location?

Kumpel · Sat 06/08/2016 09:44:25

Danvzare: Nope. still the wrong word there.
Cassiebsg: Nope. Same as Danvzare.

please explain every relevant part of how to get a point as you say it, maybe I am just interpreting it wrong, or maybe give me an example

I can't work with the solution like that.

Cassiebsg · Sat 06/08/2016 10:17:27

No worries, we're just making wild guesses cause we still haven't figured it out...

Stupot · Sat 06/08/2016 11:08:12

Solution: The number of words in the first 'sentence' plus the time differrnce between the UK and the poster's location?

(I don't think it's GMT. But then there's other questions like 'do emoticons count?' And whatever else)

OH MY GOD HE GOT IT!

Congratulations Stupot+

It's my bad I forgot to consider the summertime/wintertime thingy. My idea has been GMT and every timezone higher getting it's bonus points, every time zone lower getting there equivalent minus points, but first thing was, nobody from america wanted to do my points game so you guys never got confronted with that and second thing was, that of course atm the it is not GMT in the UK, like I thought it was. So I accidently used BST the whole time
