I've noticed that I have 72 power points or whatever. but I cannot figure out how to give anyone else any.

do I have to donate first?

Something I don't quite understand is how some people never seem to get any power to give. I remember when Applesauce was around. He had posts, points... and never got any power to give points out.

yeah, I was gonna post in here saying I just found the answer in another part of the forum.

apparently you need power before you can give points, and you gain power by getting points. how many points until I get any power?

There isn't a set amount, it is calculated by how long you've been a member / how many points you have. Right now you sit at zero on the scale of calculation, you have to wait for it to tick over before it will give you any power. Wait till you've been a member for a month.

ah, and the amount of my power means how many points someone receives if I rate their post?

Yes. Points and power are talked about in the new member information in the "I be new here" forum, along with other info. http://forum.opiophile.org/showthread.php?t=6988

when you are no longer a rookie you get to give "double shock power" points ala don king and you have to spin around and say "hit me 65 times, uhhh!"\

edit* or be like dv and get a fucking zillion points but he pays us for every rep point just the way he is don't ask me why

alright, I saw someone earlier with way less posts, I think he had more power than me though, with 1 point.

I don't understand this, but I'mma keep workin' at it. :cool:
