I would tell you how many points I have, but it's better to take a look by yourselves, so that my profile views number goes up, looool

There are many people with much more than me though 

It's easy to spam posts....

But it's not the quantity that counts!

Oh, wait... ummm....

No. It doesn't matter how a loss/win/draw happens. All that matters are the ratings and rating deviation (RD) values of the players.
