Reaching for the Gold Ring

I've sent out my 50 Gold Deliveries and now I'm just waiting for the Chefs to send me my Ring.

Precious, my precious ...

Let me know if you still need to get your gold ring. I've got 16 tokens to burn. ^-^

Marseilles Celestial would be nice :D

daveamun on Sep 15, 2007

@eclipse115: Marseilles Celestial is on its way to you which will be number 50!

I filled the request 8 minutes (!) after you posted it. Unsniped? Guess the Pirates are resting up for the big day!

Done! Thanks ^_^ . . . hope you have your gold ring now :)

daveamun on Sep 15, 2007

Strange - still sitting at 49 Gold Deliveries ??? Doesn't seem to have made its way into my account yet.

daveamun on Sep 15, 2007

Ok, now I show 50 Golds sent but still no Gold Ring (Yes, I logged out and back in)

Sitting here, tapping my toes, waiting ...

uhh, wait, not tapping my toes .. I'm twiddling my thumbs!!!!

Awwwww . . . hopefully it will come soon

daia on Sep 15, 2007

I'm one gold delivery short of a halo.. hope yours will come shortly, let us know how it goes :)

Uh-oh. Dave's badge must have been left on the old server.

daveamun on Sep 16, 2007

Nassty, ssstinking Hobbitses have stolen my precious

I wants it.

daveamun on Sep 19, 2007

Oh, Chefs!!!!

Psy2k on Sep 19, 2007

Thats really strange...

JBVisions on Sep 19, 2007

How very odd. My presssshussss turned up within minutes. Maybe you have angered the chefs in the tower?

daveamun on Sep 19, 2007

Regarding daia's post above ... I just checked her profile and SHE'S GOT HER RING!

daveamun on Sep 22, 2007

The email to the chefs bounced back at me so, I'll state my request here again.

My Gold Ring, please.

sheesh, always the bridesmaid ;-}

i sure hope you've done the log out/in ritual for all incoming badges!

* personally i think you'd look really good in chartreuse taffeta *

daveamun on Sep 23, 2007

@debbye: Oh, yes. About 2 times a day since I sent out the 50th - 8 days ago.

really? and you really think that goes well with my eyes ;-}

check your stats. is it there?

daveamun on Sep 23, 2007

nope - the 50 deliveries of golds (and the 2500 points that go with them) are there. But the badge does not appear in the list.

MrDee on Sep 23, 2007

have you logged out and back in?
(auto login does not seem to force badge re-load)

renbot on Sep 23, 2007

Did you try clearing your cache? I don't know why that would be necessary, but sometimes it seems to work when there are graphics issues.

anti on Sep 23, 2007

You must have your ring! Glad you got the points at least. :)

daveamun on Sep 24, 2007

@anti: I should have my ring, but I don't :-(

(The points I got were the 50 x 5 - no badge bonus)

anti on Sep 24, 2007

unfair..

daveamun on Sep 26, 2007

Well there it is!!!!!!!!!!

MrDee on Sep 26, 2007

I see a HALO!
