A Joe in the Bush Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 All of the Pictures of us have various amounts of Dots underneath them, what do these Signify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baine he/him Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I believe they signify the number of posts that you've made. You have 730 (a lot) of posts, so you get 4 dots. I only have 162 posts (wow!) so I have three dots. Edited June 4, 2014 by Baine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng the Just he/him Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I believe they have a direct correlation to the number of posts you've made. Edit: ninja'd Edited June 4, 2014 by jasonpenguin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 You're probably Right, I just checked, and Brandon Sanderson only has 2 dots, with 61 posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng the Just he/him Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I believe it's one dot for 10-49 posts, two for 50-99 posts, three for 100-499 posts, four for 500-999 posts and five for 1,000 or more posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Correct. I might change the frequency eventually, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly he/him Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Could you make them change colours for, say, 2000 posts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos he/him Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 The extent of the feature is just that you get more pips, or I can set a particular group icon, like staff have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Not even for a genetically enhanced panda, a volatile penguin, a fish-head, a pair of loaded dice and Bane in a Shardplate? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesomeness Summoned he/him Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Are pips the dots? Pips refer to small countable things but is most often used in reference to the dots on dice. "The dice seemed to be spinning in his head, and there was no knowing what pips would show when they landed." It is also very acceptable, nay encouraged, that horses be called Pips. But, I doubt Chaos is giving away horses for the number of posts you make (at least I haven't received mine yet if that is the case). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I did, I got the Fourth Horse just two days ago. You probably forgot to send your address to Chaos. On another subject, My first three horses are named Harmony, Rysn, and Kaloo. What should my Newest Horse be called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Is it a common word? I don't think I've ever actually heard it before, except referring to the stone/seed thing inside a fruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King he/him Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 "I will show you a bewildering array of esoteric Cosmere hints. Then I will break you." This seems to be Brandon Sanderson's primary writing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
