Arrow Frubals? Ships? Titles?

Want to know about frubals and ships and what makes one a Newbie Cruiser or an Almighty Cruiser? Well, read on!


Here is your explanation of Frubals

Frubals

Have you ever heard the phrase 'instant karma'? Frubals (sometimes known as 'reputation') are a very close equivalent. Let's say, for example, you see a post that you really like. You can validate that person by clicking on the little scale icon that appears in that post. (It's toward the right-hand side, up top)

A pop-up message will come up, asking what you thought of the post and will have a blank space where you can write your thoughts on that post. The other member will have it noted in their "User CP" that someone thought that that post was worth frubals, and if you enclosed a note, that will appear next to the notation.

Click on User CP -- scroll down a bit and you will see how much reputation (how many frubals) you have and who gave them to you, along with their personal message. It will display the last 20 posters who have sent you frubals.

Scroll a tiny bit more and you will see how many you can give (reputation power). The number of frubals you can send each time is based on how much "reputation" you have acquired.

The message you get in your Private Messages box is the canned one that automatically goes out when someone sends frubals. The "real" message is on the User CP page..... and you can see which post earned you the frubals, too.

The more you get, the more you can give, but you have to have made 50 posts on the boards yourself before your frubals have any value to someone else.
**frubals max out at 2,147,483,647 That's 2 billion 147 million, 483 thousand 647. After that your totals do not increase, but the little messages are always welcomed by those who have reached The End of the Line.


You see the titles and little boats under everyone's name?
Posting is the key!
Here's how to get yours.

Three more posts and your frubal fairy will be ready to fly!

A couple more things---you can only give frubals to 10 people in a 24 hour period.
You can't fru the same person again until you have frued 5 others first.
You can't fru the same post more than once.
