"how Metal Are You?", something I'm working on Options

[Tono Fyr]

Myself and a couple of buddies were driving back from an Amon Amarth show yesterday, and on he course of our 4 hour drive, we started devising a system which would determine how metal you are. I'm not sure precisely how high numbers will go for the average metal head, so I'm attempting to see how it works out.

Metal Points System.
1 for ever year you've listened to metal
1 for every 10 metal albums you own
1 for every 50 metal albums you have downloaded
1 for every metal vinyl
1 for every metal show
1 for every 100 miles traveled for a show (return trip is not a factor)
1 for every shirt obtained at a metal show
1 for every 3 picks obtained at a metal show
1 for every drumstick obtained from a metal show
1 for each piece of signed metal paraphenalia
1 for playing an instrument
1 for playing in a metal band
1 for playing live with said band
1 for each demo this band has released
2 for each full length album available on a metal record label

2 if you ever saw Death (or any other band defunct through member death) live
2 if you saw Metallica before 1990


And here's an example of how it works out for me -

4 - years
26 - CDs
13 - shows
25 - miles traveled
12 - shirts
5 - picks
7 - signed stuff
1 - instrument
1 - band

personal total - 94

If you guys have any ideas for the "Special" 2 pointers towards the bottom, let's here 'em. Also, constructive feedback is win.
