OK this is going to sound really dumb but. . .

I am red-green colour blind so I sometimes have trouble with things online. Is that newest little boxy-jewel thing a different colour from the others???????

Looks just slightly brighter than the others.

Curious.

Yes, it definately does look brighter, still green, but a brighter green

. Tis odd.

Maybe it means that you can't get any more boxes and that the next level will have two bright green squares and then three, etc.? Congratulations davem and Fordim.

Yes. It's a brighter green, signifying a "high positive" rating - see post #32 above.

Given that Child and I have only just acquired five squares, I would surmise that only Bethberry is in with any chance of catching our two runaway leaders.

Unless all three of them go on an extended leave of absence ...

Hmm, wait a minute, that gives me an idea ...

Are you thinking of getting the three of us together at the Tolkien Society 50th Anniversary celebrations next summer, Sauce?

Despite waking up to discover I have received over 20 points overnight (my Galadriel post on the current Chapter by Chapter discussion) , I doubt I could ever catch up to our front runners, even should they choose to look casually over their shoulders.

They're in a league of their own I would say.

I do have a question, though, about this bright green jewel which now adorns davem and Fordim. Does this "high positive rating" refect the status of having over 500 points? Or does it reflect multiple reps for one post?

*stares rather morosely at her single jewel* Phoo.

What are the different rep numbers you need to get more jewels?

Congratulations to davem and Fordim!

Is there even a higher rep to be had?

Many huzzahs to ye both!

Abedithon le,
