T8* Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hey! Welcome to the shard. I honestly share your dream of becoming a beta reader at one point. That would be amazing. Be sure to tell me if you find anything. I wouldn't take that cookie if I were you. Have an upvote! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavs007 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Is taking the cookie more like taking the blue pill? Or the red pill? ☺️ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things he said was not to pester Mr. Ahlstrom. Unfortunately, I had already sent Peter a private message. So I went back and apologized and asked him to disregard. I also found that that if you can spot typos that Peter has NOT around yet, you’re probably a shoo-in to be a beta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinkoln Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I am new and confused about the reputation titles. What is the list of titles and the number of posts needed for each? Who assigns the titles or is it automatic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an automatic thing, and it's not posting amount that determines the titles, it's the upvotes. Here's the list: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beantheboy12 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 It's essentially a like. You get I think... 20 upvotes a day to give. You click the little arrow next to someone's post and they've been upvoted. When you pass milestones, your title is changed. Check that link to see it. If you get a lot of upvotes in a week, month, year, all time, you go on the leaderboard. (Like me! The meme lord!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to eat a cookie, eat one that doesn't take your soul(mine). Or, if you really want your soul maimed, I can make one of those and it'll be more likely to less mess you up severely than Bean's.

Hello and Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your time here! *This may or may not be true, depending on the reader's view Favorite book in the Cosmere? Whew! That’s tough. I think I was the most gripped by the beginning of the Elantris 10th anniversary audiobook, though I am not sure if it was any different than the original. I think my favorite SF series ever is Mistborn. And of course, the Arcanum Unbounded was tremendous! I will also have to say that Stormlight is REALLY growing on me. Not that I ever disliked it. They were the only ones I actually read—listened to all the others. My schedule doesn’t give me much time to sit and read, so it took FOREVER to get through them. Having said that, I am impressed with how much depth Stormlight has, more than Wheel of Time, in my opinion. I think too that Kaladin is my single favorite character, all things considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
