http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ Chatter and cavorting occasionally regarding the online serial Strange Little Band en Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:15:23 +0000 http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/earning-and-redeeming-shares-aka-bonus-points#post-380 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:32:04 +0000 nancy 380@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Look right below your avatar beside your posts, or check your profile page. :) You've got three right now, which is way too low considering how often you tweet. Which Twitter account to you want to use? I thought I'd assigned Ada's. Maybe I spelled it wrong. :( Will check in a few mintues.</p> <p>UPDATE: Ah-ha! I'd spelled it wrong. *facepalm* Also discovered that Lyn's shares weren't being counted because the Twitter name is case-sensitive, too! Forum admin FAIL. Sorry! </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/earning-and-redeeming-shares-aka-bonus-points#post-377 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:34:37 +0000 Heidi 377@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Hmm. So how do I find out what my shares are? </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/earning-and-redeeming-shares-aka-bonus-points#post-368 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:51:19 +0000 nancy 368@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Actually, no. Just one Twitter account per SLB account. Sorry. :( I should have specified above. We're counting @am_harte . Is that the one you want? </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/earning-and-redeeming-shares-aka-bonus-points#post-364 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:47:26 +0000 a.m.harte 364@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Your software can even track a multi-twitter personality like me? Impressive! </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/earning-and-redeeming-shares-aka-bonus-points#post-323 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:19:23 +0000 nancy 323@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Boy has this post been a long time coming! Now that we've got the kinks worked out of the point-counting software, it's time to let you all use the shares you've been racking up. But first, here's how you earn them. </p> <p><strong>Earning shares</strong>*<br /> Unless otherwise indicated, each of the following earns you one share.</p> <ul> <li> One forum post </li> <li> A tweet containing #strangelittleband, #Uhopping, #AGdate, or "Strange Little Band" </li> <li> A tweet replying to/containing @strangelilband, @addisonharris, @shane_myers, @ashlynnharris, or @brainiacjake </li> <li> Linking to SLB from your blog or website </li> <li> Friending SLB on Facebook or Livejournal </li> <li> Reporting a typo somewhere on the SLB site. Please report typos in a comment. One typo report = two shares </li> <li> Each review posted on Web Fiction Guide, EpiGuide, SciFi Matter, or Muse's Success is worth 10 shares. </li> </ul> <p>I'm sure this list will grow. Also, if you're not sure if we're counting your tweets, please tell me your Twitter username. I'll add it to your SLB account so your tweets are counted.</p> <p><strong>Redeeming shares</strong>*</p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ask-a-character-a-question-for-a-price">Ask any character a question</a> for 15 shares. Major spoilers will not be divulged, though. Please give us a week to answer questions. </li> <li> <a href="http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/bonus-story-voting-starting-with-the-nov-23-story">Voting for bonus stories</a>, starting with the November 23rd story. One share equals one vote, but you can vote as many times as you like. So if you really, really want a particular bonus story topic, throw 20 shares at it. I'm afraid that the nifty polls will have to go to implement this. There will be a lot forum posts to keep up with the running total. </li> <li> Make a cameo appearance by spending 50 shares. </li> </ul> <p>Writing this made me realize that I need to make sure that everyone's been credited appropriately. Will do this week. Vanessa, I'll also email you about how to use the point-counting stuff.</p> <p>* Based on the <a href="http://www.addergoole.com/Points.html">Addergoole stamps rules</a> </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/choose-your-own-background#post-322 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:41:15 +0000 admin 322@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Hate light text on a dark background? You can now select the reverse for SLB posts.

Awesome-age. :) </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/bug-reports/page/3#post-198 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:11:14 +0000 admin 198@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Yay! We can has shares! Under your post count is the number of shares (i.e. bonus points) you've earned by posting here or tweeting SLB-related things. Now we need to post a shareholder redemption policy and we'll get some bonus stories going!</p> <p>By the way, ignore the shares count for this account, my other one ("nancy"), and Vanessa. We won't be redeeming our own shares. I need to tweak to code to not display shares counts for us. </p>
