A thousand gems, off one post? Whoa, that must be a helluva post....

(Maybe a text dump of Terranigma? Or an e-novel; that's about the only thing I can think of that would be so big)

I only currently has 2,005 gems myself.

(Is not poor, but not rich either)

Those 60k gems are some strange bug in the gem system...

But i couldn't explain how does it work. I dont understand it very well..

I believe it has to do with join date. When this place first started up (again) everyone got 1,000 gems, but you didn't recieve any from posting. I think. Most of the people with 1,000 gems all joined in 04-05.

its no bug. zuruh just made some VERY big posts in spam central. and they add to gem count, but not to post count.

so, if you're desperate for gems, paste an essay or 2 in spam central.

Hmm, that sounds a bit unbalanced. If those posts don't count towards post-counts, why should they count towards total gems?

Maybe I'll just copy-paste the Wikipedia article for the TARDIS into spam central then.... :p

The CAT article looks longer, with references though

Gems were created to provide an economic element to TerraEarth. Basically the only people who use them are people like me who make games and give them out as prizes. It's sort of acknowledged that these gems have little more than sentimental value, and are seen as a tangible way of signifying an exchange of services on the boards.

... Wow. I should narrate for the Discovery Channel.
