Points are collected by chatting, getting tipped or winning the roulette.

Currently, the reward per line is:

Code:

min([0.4*wordcount, 1.2+0.2*wordcount, 6])

or in words: 0.4 points per word, up to 2.4 points, then only 0.2 more points per additional words, up to a maximum of 6 points.
Sentences that start with "!" or have an average wordlength less than 2 are ignored.

The players level does not actually matter atm, but is a easy way to quickly compare players' chat dedication.
Leveling up requires more and more points, exactly:

Code:

currentlevel * 5

Here a chart that plots the player's level, depending on points owned.
