This is a little game I made up just because I was bored. I enjoy it, so I figured I’d share it.
Just a warning: This game is only fun if there’s a spot you’ve added a lot of images to, but enough have been added by other people to make it challenging.
So, the object of the game is to... get lots of points? And to encourage proper image etiquette.
Be sure to keep something handy to keep track of your points! (Paper and pencil, blank word document, calculator, etc.)
Step 1: Maneuver over to your favorite spot (or preferably, the spot you’ve contributed the most images to)
Step 2: Look at the “Popular Content” module and click on the image lowest on the list (if there is no image on that list, then click on the most recently added image.) If you have yet to fan it, go ahead and do so! (If you like it, that is)
Step 3: This first image is where you will get your start off points.
• +10 points per tag (possible 100 points)
• -10 points of there are no tags
• +20 points for a description
• -10 points for no description
• +50 points for image credit
(If the image credit is something stupid like "Yo Mama" then no points are awarded or subtracted)
• -20 points for no image credit
Step 4: Enter this URL in your address bar:
www.fanpop.com/spots/*name-of-spot*/get_random_image
(replace "*name-of-spot*" with the actual name of the spot. Remember to put the - where a space would normally be)
Award the appropriate points as listed below.
Points: MULTIPLY X2 IF THE IMAGE IS YOUR OWN
• +5 points per tag (possible 50 points)
• -10 points if there are no tags
• +10 points for a description
• -15 points if there is no description
• +20 points for image credit
• -40 points if there is no image credit (If the image credit is something stupid like "Yo Mama" then no points are awarded or subtracted)
• IF THERE ARE MORE FANS THAN VIEWS: -1 point to match the difference. Ex: 10 fans, 2 views, -8 points (10-2=8)
• IF THERE ARE MORE VIEWS THAN FANS: +1 point to match the difference. Ex: 2 fans, 294 views, +292 points (294-2=292)
• +1 point if the image is an icon
• +2 points if the image is a photo
• +3 points if the image is a screen cap
• +4 points if the image is a wallpaper
• +5 points if the image is a fan art
• IF THE IMAGE IS MISCATEGORIZED (does not belong in this spot) DIVIDE YOUR COLLECTIVE SCORE IN HALF! (Then report it!)
After you finish tallying your score, fan the image if you find it appropriate.
If the second image was not your own contribution, move on to Step 5
If the second image was your own contribution, move on to Step 6
Step 5: Continue doing this and gathering (or losing!) points, until you come across one of your own contributions.
Step 6: You’re almost done. (Maybe!) Tally the score on your own image. (Remember to multiply X2)
Step 7: Enter this URL in your address bar:
www.fanpop.com/spots/*name-of-spot*/get_random_image
again. If the next image isn’t your contribution, STOP HERE! You’re finished! If it is your contribution, award yourself points again, but this time, multiply everything X3. X4 for the next image of your own, then X5, and so on…
Step 8: Continue entering this URL in your address bar:
www.fanpop.com/spots/*name-of-spot*/get_random_image
until you come across an image not your own. That is when your game has ended.
Your score can range in the 100s, the 1000s, or even below zero.
Go to a different spot or play again. Record your personal best score and try to beat it. Compare your score to your friends’ scores. Do whatever you want!
TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
If you guys get confused, or there's a gep somewhere in the directions, let me know and I'll take care of it. I'll even add a screen cap tutorial down here if you think it would help.
Enjoy!!
