<p>lol Blackeyedsusan, I think we literally repped each other at the exact same time!! 
Happy Wednesday!</p>
<p>Good morning everyone. You all crack me up! I’ll reload tonight and rep who I can.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What an honor…but NO!!! As much as I’ve always longed for a sceptre, our Empress you will always be. Can’t the rest of the fivesome rule in your absence (which I hope is very brief)?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Count of Greenies? I rather like that. I had thought I was the Jester around here!</p>
<p>I have decades of experience looking after the family jewels. So I guess I can manage the royal jewels in your brief absence from the Hotel CCalifornia. ;)</p>
<p>What a relief!</p>
<p>Now now, neuroticparent. You cannot decline this high honor that has been bestowed upon you. Lorem is happy with his title. Your job is to keep the threads funny and light hearted, and you are clearly quite talented in that arena. And it comes with shiny bling!!!</p>
<p>What is this talk of the Empress Jym abdicating her throne? Sigh. I will miss the Empress kablaam and will suffer severe post-traumatic greenie stress with acute withdrawal symptoms. :(</p>
<p>As a minion, I will be at a loss without a leader. So I do appreciate if Neuroticparent and LoremIpsum serve as co-regents of the Emerald Kingdom to maintain wit, wise counsel and camaraderie.</p>
<p>My new slogan:
Count on green from the Count of Green.</p>
<p>You like it? Click my scale for a sample. Limited supply! :)</p>
<p>I love it Count LoremIpsum! Sadly, I am still in the 48h/20p ban period with you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, a title! Now I could go on one of those dating websites and find myself a rich heiress to take care of my financial needs as I labor for the CC elite!</p>
<p>Apologies, Krlilies-- life is getting in the way. Drat.</p>
<p>I was playing with iterations of the title I bestowed upon lorem in my head after reading the above posts and now have “The Count of Loremcrisco” (yes, crisco, not cristo) stuck in my head. Ack!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sigh. I suppose I am still king of the kiddies.</p>
<p>Dumb question–how do you get the green squares? Read that this thread explained it but the explanation must be in the beginning of the 2,000+ posts.</p>
<p>^^^^People click on the small white scales on the left side, bottom of a post you make. Either because they like or in a shameless bid for exchange of greenies (like on this thread). How many you give/get is explained below.</p>

<p>I am definitely over the 10K mark now (smiles, waves) thanks to all who helped me over! Are we still racing to 14K Gold or is that milestone in the past already?</p>
<p>It amuses me immensely that at some point in the future someone will search for “college confidential rules” and find my greenie post!! We should edit to list Count LoremIpsum though.</p>
<p>Bromfield, you have the basic rules now, but if you ever have some time you should read this thread. It’s hilarious and a great break from college stress!</p>

<p>Correctamundo. We should give credit to Lorem for “cracking the code” which he revealed on 12/12/12:</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure even Jym hasn’t arrived there yet – I just crossed 13K today and I wasn’t all that far behind her in recent days. Anyone who wants to help me along will get a nice 140-point thank you in return, as soon as inventory permits. :)</p>
<p>Thank you all for the showering of green yesterday, so reminiscent of waking up on Xmas morning with a dusting of snow. Picturesque.</p>
<p>I am still several hundred ahead of lorem, but as I am redirecting to other ventures, he will surely surpass me at some point. At this point, many reps push people well over 100 points, so things change quickly. Have fun, everyone. May the green be with you.</p>
