What is the point of Marking

[emmie]

Best answer, do people get points or something?

[daisya]

I wondered about that em, is it shown anywhere when people mark them?

[B00]

Yes, get to 100, you get a tube of Smarties posted out to you.

[Safiya]

It registers on a little programme on the ab system.... at the end of the month its converted into points..... you can use your points to get stuff....like pay 20 points and get someone suspended for doing absolutely nothing..... or if you get suspended yourself and you have 50 points you can get out of jail free..... theres other bonuses but I can't remember them

[Postdog]

fools! you redeem them at Sainsbury's

[daisya]

rather have the smarties but 100 points!! They are cheaper at Aldi LOLOL.

[cazzz1975]

that sounds like green shield stamps

[LoftyLottie]

When you get to 1000, you get an AB Platinum Card, which gives you an awful lot of advantages. You get life membership, you can't be reported or banned and you get an invite to the annual AB ball hosted by Spare Ed.

I know Daisya, it's that Ed, tighter than a ducks bum he is, he doesn't like parting with the Smarties- hence it's 100 points per tube.

Marking gives you feedback on how well you are doing. Your homework is marked to let you see if you have understood the classwork. Many sports/athletics events are also marked to reflect how well the contestant has done and to get a rank order of all contestants.

Cazzz- either I need glasses (distinct possibility) or your Skelator has gone awfully blurry lately!

[cazzz1975]

thats my normal look :o

maybe you need your peepers looking at? ;)

[Barmaid]

And if you're really good and get the magical 10,000, the Ed comes to your house, personally serves you a g and t and does your housework. Naked.

Seriously though em10, I think it is clear that no one actually knows the answer to this question and you will have to wait and see what the Ed says.

[emmie]

so no need to do it then.

[Old_Geezer]

It's been mentioned before somewhere, Try a search.
IIRC it was a future function that makes no difference at the moment.

[B00]

Don't like Smarties then em?

Seriously Cazzz? It's not blurry??

[cazzz1975]

I think it was put on there as an idea that never really took off..

[cazzz1975]

unless your monitor settings have changed, im using the same avatar I have always used..

[emmie]

Another site does this, awards points, once you get to a certain level i think you get shoved down a chute and out the door.

[daisya]

Looking at Ed's picture on his avatar I think I would have decline the naked housework bit, though no offence as it must be an honour to have his presence in your home. Think I'll just aim for the expensive smarties as I love the blue ones for when I poke my tongue out at passing chavs.
