The Points Game

[Cassiebsg]

Kumpel: 26 pts (still "1 point" rule :p )

[Kumpel]

^ > <

[Cassiebsg]

Kumpel: 1 pt

EDIT: Let me know if you guys wish me to let the Squirrel lose out of it's cage...

[Kumpel]

The problem for me is, my solution works with every post you got in this round. So technically it is right

I don't get how the w could get one point but I still get two if I only post a single "w"...

Gimme some squirrelish cryptic hint!

[cat]

The nickname seems to be included in the count. Or something else not directly post content.

[Kumpel]

So Cassie, did I mess up your previous countings now? 

[Kumpel]

w

[Cassiebsg]

Kumpel: Post out of bounds...
cat: 2 pts
Kumpel: 5 pts
kumpel: 3 pts

I just said technically is incorrect.

* Cassiebsg opens cage

Squirrel runs up a tree. Kumpel chases it, tries to climb the tree but slips and falls! You are now stuck looking at the Squirrel teasing you from the top of the tree, because you still haven't figured out how to climb the tree.
- Your move!

hmmmmmmm

[Cassiebsg]

Gurok: 197 pts (or out of bounds, if I counted wrong... :p )
selmiak: 1 pt

[selmiak]

wwwwwwwwhat?

[Cassiebsg]

selmiak: 17 pts

[selmiak]

Or does it have to do with the ^ shapes in the letters? but then the x and k should get 2 points like the w does (which should even get 3 points ^^) and the z should generally get points (2 I'd guess...)

That's almost the solution.
1 point for every ^ form you can take out of the letters in the post including username. This is destructive, so taking away 1 ^ form from x leaves only 1 ^ form over, taking the < out of z leaves - and so on.

[Kumpel]

I don't think that's what Cassie is aiming for. (S)He said "still one-point-rule, so every letter can get only one point. But our ^ theory prooves, that x and w should get 2 points each. Or am I misunderstanding you, selmiak?

[selmiak]

you wrote

Solution: One point for each letter k, v, x , y and 2 points for the letter w (cause it's two v's...?) occuring in the post or the name of the poster.

my conclusion is you worded it wrong with the 2 points for w and not 1 point for every ^ shape in the w

edit: if this is correct... thanks a lot kumpel!

[Kumpel]

but the X has the same amount of ^ as the W does How would you explain the 2 points for two ^ in W but only one point for two ^ in X?

[Cassiebsg]

selmiak: post out of bounds (no complicated math, I'm not into math... just 1+1+1...=...)
Kumpel:  14 pts (note: I never said "so every letter can get only one point")
selmiak: post out of bounds
Kumpel: 18 pts

The Squirrel looks puzzled as you try climbing the tree upside down...

[Gurok]

Solution: One point for every / in the name + message?

[Kumpel]

Great idea! But the z gets no points and clearly has a / Also the operators ^, < and > all got a / and didnt get any points.
