hello everyone and happy new year
welcome to the first posting points end-of-year roundup and awards ceremony
we will get to the totals and deeply exciting statistical analysis shortly, but i just wanted to note that following the q1 pp audit things got truly unhinged whackadoo insane, with an increase in posting point minting, exchange, and fraudulent activity. as a result we at the todd bonzalez's... posting points consortium have had our work cut out for us following the money. rest assured, however, that these posting points have been vetted thoroughly, and that cheaters never prosper
with that out of the way, here is how posting points developed over the year of 2022:
and here are the resulting posting points totals for the end of 2022:
BALANCES
az: ₱3
BIG ASHLEY: ₱3
CaffeineBoost: ₱5
dave: ₱-1*
faint: ₱1
fx: ₱1
gvmgvm40: ₱1

Moose And Goose: ₱-10,000**
phoopes: ₱3
pyuking muku: ₱1

*fined 1 posting point by caffeineboost
**fined 10,000 posting points by caffeineboost. not reflected on graph
***fined 10 posting points by caffeineboost
users not listed have a posting points balance of zero
taking a look at the RAW DATA (advanced, not recommended)...
... we can see that a third of all posting points activity involved piracy. a total of 17 posting points were apprehended in the dismantling of this illegal activity. this piracy occurred exclusively on april 1st, and as a result there is no need to panic; posting points are still a secure currency. please remain in your seats.
per the function of the todd bonzalez's... quantum post chamber, three users received bonus posting points at the end of the year for confirmed quantum posting
AWARDS
CaffeineBoost - posting points were not established as a competition to acquire the most, but if they had been, caffeineboost would be the grand extreme winner. what a very funney poster. this user not only amassed posting points, but awarded new posting points more than any other user, too. an additional caveat is that in the second half of 2022 this user also began docking posting points from other users, sometimes to an eye-watering degree. for this reason, alongside awarding caffeineboost the Todd Bonzalez's... Posting Points Poster of the Year: todd's choice award (colloquially "the golden toddi"), i'd also like to invite caffeineboost to sit on the todd bonzalez's... posting points board of directors. this also means that he has to tally all of the points and make the graphs. sorry, i don't make the rules. caffeineboost does
monkfish does not feature in the list of users with posting points balances, but all the same i would like to take a moment to congratulate this user for getting out of posting points debt; mf began the year with -2 posting points due to invoking them in the posting-by-post metagame, and that sacrifice paid off later this year when those posting points came to fruition as 4 extra posting points. i'm not really sure how this works (interest? do they grow in the ground? are posting points like lil turnip guys? ask caffeineboost) but i still think that ridding yourself of debt is something to be celebrated and i look forward to hearing just how it was done one day in a gripping tell-all autobiog.
finally, phoopes wins the award of litigation; i have previously made reference to a spree of illegal activity at the start of april, and this manifested as posting points piracy by this now-super moderator. let it be known that insulating oneself with Xtreme Smogon Power (x.s.p.) will not protect criminales from the long arm of the law. i trust caffeineboost will be bringing you to justice summarily
