Point Serendipity

Using your most sensationalistic points of view, Is being well-appointed by having the most points pointless or worthy of being pointed out and commended? Also, at what point does one reach his/her breaking point when trying their hardest to obtain the most points? Further more, would you say that there is a more honorable method of obtaining one's own points or rather they cardinal point for reaching points? Finally, is there a point in handing out added brownie points to the person who has already accumalated the most points?
Footnote: Please, let us make it our basis point not to specifically point out any white elaphants and lets just keep this a case and point discussion or you'll be pointed to the door.

Although you make a great point I would like to point out that points are accumulated in a multitude of ways, but to point this out is redundant, instead we should focus on making the point that pointing out such a thing about points is absurd.
P.S. Don't point at me about it, I'm just making the point I felt like pointing out.
P.S.S. Point.

At this point of time, let me point my pencil with a reply. If Seurat can conquer pointillism, and a mason can point with mortar, why can't we get to the real point of talking about points? In point of fact, a hunter kills an eight-point deer while my grandma knits point lace upon the point of death, where did the Point on the Mumbai cricket squad go when his team was down by 10 points? Was it to the makeout point above Pont Du Hoc, FR?
In the end, I hope I've carried my point. Hope this was short and to the point.

You ever play a game and have a cheat book?! Well much in a similar fashion is preying on people that do not understand this game or difficult maps.Points are only the end all be all for some people.While it is nice to have a decent score at what point are people willing to realize that beating up on players that are far below their skill level is not very fun at all.There is numerous ways to increase one's score.You can play Casual team games where you stand to win an overwhelming majority or you can play FS doubles where you stand to massacre any opponent not on par with you.Those become boring when you win all the time.Happy Hunting...

A very valid point. My only suggestion to you is that next time you write out your point, use a ball point pen instead of a pointy pencil. It's just safer. Also don't run with scissors, but that's a moot point depending on which way the scissors are pointing.

Now now KH, don't point your own point at him! Pointy pointed pencils can often point out points about points that a pointy ball-pointed pen cannot. My point is...you shouldn't point out the mistakes of others when the point is it wasn't one...in reiteration, pointing out problems with pointy and pointed writing utensils is a point not needed to be pointed out.

I would also like to note that I HAVE ran with scissors, it did end badly, and its not a situation to be taken lightly....I have a giant scar on my arm.

It appears that you've reached the point of no return, no matter if you lost all your points tomorrow, you would still be hounded to the point of annihilation. Your reputation for ruthless points acquisition is sealed! Anyone who has seen you blast Ronald McDonald at point blank, with a double barrel shotgun in a drive by shooting has no doubt very pointedly reminded themselves to give you a wide berth. However, no one climbs that high without reaching the tipping point, where the slightest nudge in the wrong place can knock you down from the very pinnacle of pointdom!

The real point of gaining points is to point out the difference in points from one point to the the next point. Some chaps might say "what's the point?" of points and it must be right to point out that if they can't see the point, they'll never see the point, of points. Others would point to the point that one's points are a validation. There can be no point to anything if points aren't counted. Or pointed. 'Point Serendipity' attempts to point the way to the point and I for one can but applaud the point the OP of 'Point Serendipity' is trying to point out, if a little pointedly, from my point of view.

Well I must disagree with your point. Surely it is pointless to try to point out the value of points to some one who percieves them as pointless. Furthmore what about those pointless points being pointed out ad infinitum. Surely those points are also pointless, for if they had a point then they would point to the real issue of points. This issue of points can be pointless if you are in one pointed camp, but if you are in the pointless camp, then this whole discussion regarding whether points have a point or are, in fact, pointless becomes pointless.
From the above point, one has to consider the point that this thread about points is pointless or has a point? I for one can see a point to points, but others who are pointless or near pointless may disagree and they do have a point!

So if points have a point, then at what point will they they cease to have a point? Not just from the high point but the low point perspective as well. Do we use decimal points for these points? Do points that are not whole points have a point? Did anyone else want to point out? How many points do points have to have before they cross 'having a point', pass the boundary and come out on the other side of pointlessness?

It appears that you went straight to the point of being pointless. Or is there a twist? Was the point not having a point? Ah... if a point is gained in a game but no one is there to watch it, is the point really gained?

I believe the point alstergren was trying to make was: "
If a point is gained and no one is around to receive it, does the point still have a point?"

Well if a point is gained when no one was around to receive the point, then surely the point of the question has to be 'was there a point to that point, or even was there a point to the point about the point still having a point. For if there wasn't a point to the point about the point having a point, then any further point about this point is nothing more than a pointing out of this point. Alternatively, the point, like this point, could be pointed out to be pointless.
