<p>Wow - I disappeared into RL for a few days and returned to find I finished the marathon - albeit as one of the stragglers but the thrill’s the same and the victory sweet - thank you for those mighty ones who finished ahead providing the green juice to get to the end!</p>
<p>Totally love the subversive directions this thread has taken! It was hilarious when it was about prestigiosity (which I only just found today…), and now it’s radonculous. Thanks for the lolz today, and Happy New Year to all you Frequent Posters hell-bent on blowing up this stupid green square bidness and other sacred cows of CC!</p>
<p>Was able to bestow greenies on Simplerules, VAmom2015, Oldmom4896, parent56 but stopped for dowzerw, jym, confetti, blueiguana and others. Will keep trying :)</p>
<p>Please leave your name in the comment box if you want me to green you back! There were a couple of blanks when I checked!!</p>
<p>I had a late-night greening session. It was a bit like hit-and-run guerilla warfare, firing off some greenies but not posting on the thread (thought I did leave messages for those I greened). Does surreptitous greening count toward prestigiosity? I also realize that I need to get my post count up to 1000 to get another greenie, so I’ll be leaving random messages such as “10-char” or maybe even joining the “chance me?” discussions in High School Life as a parental dinosaur. :eek: Ack! What has greenie grubbing done to me??</p>
<p>^Post counts don’t help you accumulate squares; they only contribute to the number of points you give when you rep someone. It’s the reps you receive that count toward squares. And in the end, the love you get is unfortunately not equal to the love you give.</p>
Somehow there is a song in that … I sent you some greenies, Griffen.</p>
<p>I’m not looking to accumulate squares - I have enough of those - but I am playing the game & looking to increase my greenies so I can actually do what this crazy system was intended: rep a particularly valuable post/poster. :)</p>
<p>How did you all figure out how this “scoring” actually works? How do you know how many points you gave/got? And what in the world does it mean that someone has a “reputation beyond repute”? Is that something like “prestigiosity beyond prestige?”</p>
<p>And what in the world does it mean by I am a “glorious beacon of light”? Really?</p>
<p>Gave greenies out to 12rmh18, jane345, psychmom and jym626 then was stopped for giving out too much! </p>
<p>I am 120 points away from 3000!!! Remember to leave your name otherwise I won’t know who you are! There was someone who wanted greenies but left no name! Thanks to all who are helping me march toward 3000 :)</p>
<p>Hello, everyone. I’m moving over to this thread to prestigiositize my post count. So proud of my 12 squares, but embarrassed that I spent so much time hanging out in the caf</p>
