Feeling creative, anyone? This is from an online marketing game. My ideas for "Sympathie-Punkte" are all a little lame.

: How about "points for popularity?" :-) // I was thinking the same thing, but they might be confused with points earned in the game (or are these the points earned in the marketing game?). :-)

I'm now thinking 'points' on its own might be the safest bet

: After some time to think about it, I believe this is probably the best solution - pleasant and comparatively "neutral" (given the lack of solid background information).

Comment: "That man Cilian's racking up the points again today...
Thanks everyone. I'm risking "popularity" rather than just points on their own - the original writer must have had a reason for using "Sympathie"."

I'd need a little more info about the game itself, but "brownie points" is what springs repeatedly to mind.

Or, if there\'s no information available, just stick to \"points\" and cover yo\' ass.

Without context, hard to say

@ Ian: my only defence is that I've been working on some dull stuff lately and it clearly hasn't been keeping all parts of my mind busy. ;-)
@ Ian: Sadly, not much. I've not got the game to translate, just this intro. All I can say is that it's set in Europe in 2050. Otherwise my text is full of information-less sentences such as "Tipp: Jedes mal wenn du () siehst geht�s weiter." - I've no idea what they're going to put in place of "()". :-(
