Yes, I know Fst6 has made one just like this but I want to be more clearer on the Armor Points and each way to get it and how commonly used it is. Their are 5 ways to achieve Armor Points on Armor Games. You can rate a game, write a comment, post a thought on the forums, submit your creativity in games, and type a nice, helpful review for merits.
Rate a game: Before Total Review made his easy access to all the games on Armor Games, their hasn't been a lot of points given in this zone. That changed over the summer when Total Review had Armor Wiki made. I have seen around 100-200 members with like 2000 Armor Points in the first week. About 1/4 of the points came from rating a game. Rating a game is very simple. You put your mouse cursor over the rating bar and click on the zone you rate the game. You should understand that you should really play the game for ten minutes and see your thoughts on the game. Also, if you don't get the game, please do not rate it a 1 or something as low as that. I have seen this with multiple games like Orbit Runner and Aether.
This point zone gives you 2 Armor Points.
Comments: Ah yes, the Corner stone of most our of highest Armor Points like Firetail madness and many more that if I tried to name them all, I might become numb in my brain and never be able to use it ever again.( My funny comment for the topic. That was not bad Carlie) You can comment in many places. You can comment on someones profile, your profile, a game's profile and even the news profile but I am not sure if you can get points posting their. I need to check that soon. This is without doubt, the easiest place to spam on since people comment on these places every day. We have Moderators trying to stop theirs spammers. Our most recent ones banned was Lilboi3000 I think? I don't know. You can check with Carlie on that. Anywho, I advise you don't spam often in this zone. I too have spammed a little in that zone when I was a whee little boy on Armor Games. Just learn from your mistakes and that divides you from people who just want to post random stuff that sometimes don't make sense sometimes.

Forum Post: This zone here is my favorite out of all zones. The forums. It has very intelligent threads, smart typers, and where all the fun is after playing flash games. It's a place to kick back and relax. Also is a place where you will most likely make all your friends at. I am sad though that this place has been spammed with topics that have been repeated umpteen times. In case you don't know, umpteen means a lot. Their have been repeats of topics in a different tittle, favorite topics which is fun in the beginning because it can tell who you are and usually what you like but their are also an infinite of repeats in disguises here. Their is topics where they are asking where games like Sonny 2 and The Last Stand 3 is coming out. I keep asking Moderators and Admins to make a Sticky which can tell you an estimate on when it will come in so that we can maybe have these topics stop. You also seem to see a lot of Spelling errors and grammar errors here so I advise you get Firefox to help you with spelling and grammar. IE is cool but the abbreviation for it looks kind of weird. FF looks more not weird. After all of this, the forums are a great learning place for ages everywhere but Armor Games wants you to be over 13 for reasons that they can explain to you.
This point zone gives you 1 Armor Points.
Submitting a game: This is like unknown territory. Not many high ranked Armor Games users have ever made a game. It is usually members with 20 points or more. It is because a game is a very long, difficult, tedious, mind blowing attempt to have an imprint of your style on Armor Games. It can takes a week for your game to be passed by the Armor Games Committe and you might get a very low rating. It all depends on your style of play and your knowledge of gaming. So I can't explain more here. It is a solo task for you and only you.
This point zone gives you 20 Armor Points.
Merits: This is the way of the critics. You can score major points here if you can get your merit seen and loved by Carlie or DragonMistress or any of the Armor Staff. Just keep this in mind, Carlie, DragonMistress or Moegreche are probably the people who gave you the merit. The others do give out merits but not as frequent as these 3. Merits can earn you up to 29 points if the merit is given points for. 25 for the merit, 2 for the comment, and 2 for the rating. I advise you to have perfect spelling, grammar, very complicated words like ludicrous. You don't have to do these things but it's like a resume', you need to be perfect for them to accept you into their business or college. Use every advantage you have. You can make some errors in spelling or grammar but if half the paragraph does not seem to make sense, don't expect yourself 25 Armor Points. This is a very hard zone to get points in so don't get discouraged if you don't get the merit in the day you typed it. Moderators check many games every day for merits so it's a matter of time.
This point zone gives you 25 Armor Points.
