The Points Game

[Kumpel]

Baron: 4pts.

Solution: For some posters it seems to be the number of dots in a post.  This includes periods, dots on i's and j's, colons ( : ), etc.  But not exclamation or question marks.  And sometimes for some posters it includes dots in their signature, time stamp and personal text.  I'm not sure about the exact rule, but if you count the dots often enough in different ways you can always find some combination that fits the official score.

Baron: Nope

YOU CAN DEFINITELY HEAR THE SQUIRREL SQUEEKING IN A FAR DISTANCE... YOU ARE JUST CHASING IT ON THE WRONG TREE.
