Watch out because some people are going to be trying to earn these valuable points.

Great..... :? It sure seems BT is trying to get more and more up in Faceyspaces ass! :shock:

Hope this isn't the only future direction for BT.

Does this site count as a "social connection"? Do we get points SCAR?

Every post on Scaratings gets you 1 million players plus points!

BT has promised to apply them to your accounts on January 1st, 2197.

This just seems like a terrible idea, but maybe that's just from the point of view of those of us who tend to play 12-15 games in a row or several times a week. According to this, if I hook my Facebook account to this, I get a measly 500 PP points a day, while:
1) annoying all my Facebook friends with an automatic post of my scores for EVERY game
2) my boss, mom and co-workers will really know how much I play :)

Maybe this works for the average player who plays one premium game a week, but it just seems dumb to me. And if you're going to have something this annoying, you should offer a lot more points for it as an incentive.

I agree it will flood my wall with all of my BT scores....I don't have my primary handle (#1WOLF) on a Facebook account.

Maybe its best this way.

This is just an affirmation of the worthlessness of Buzztime.

I'd rather have ScarPoints than PPPoints

You know, if you really want to drum up some interest with the PPP thing, find a means to cash them in for something worth while. Deduct points when you cash them in, and get a Buzztime logo thing on it. 10,000 points is a free tee shirt. 25,000 is a back pack. 100,000 points is a grill set. 250,000 points is a slightly used Kia.

Although, Cloudy could probably pay off his mortgage with is points, so I guess I see one flaw in the idea. And he would have no problem with the Buzztime logo on the side of his house too!

Yoda....wondering if he could drive a Kia with a Buzztime logo on it

Do you remember the promotions when the P+ program began in 1995?

I noticed when I go to the BT site, it asks me if I want to log-in via social media or my handle/password. I wasn't sure what that was all about (I use handle/password).

I guess I know now...EGADS!!!

It's not only your own wall getting flooded, but all your friends' walls too. Fortunately Buzztime on facebook is blocked easily enough.

I'll admit, I'm a PPlus Points junkie. I followed the instructions and added facebook and yahoo via the edit my info page. I haven't seen any extra points, nor any posts on my facebook page. At the bar, I use my usual sign on. Do I have to start using my facebook signon? Has anyone actually got this working yet?
Thanks,
Rob
