“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Same here. Lost 35 for "orphaned comments." Did you guys remove the banana points from comments on deleted threads or something?
I think they did. Needless to say, I'm very sad about this. I'll never make Senior Gorilla at this rate.
me too! I was five banana points away before =/
This is worse than when they increased the points needed to get some SPG properties in NYC!
We all just got taxed big time. ROMNEY 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOWN WITH OBAMA
I'm pretty sure this is the first round of reverse bananatative easing to prevent bananaflation.
Seems like an unnecessary undertaking but whatever.
I got hungry and made banana bread
For the ladies on the thread, pm me if you want to try some
lost 40...ouch :/
77 down here...
Chill guys, I lost 186. What is this, a progressive banana tax?
No taxation without representation!
Lost 201...that's 10%......what is this the Cathedral of WSO?
And thats all I have to say about that.
Down 50 :( This has been a sad day.
audit the Banana Fed
protect yo bananaz
All of you shut up.
Lost 761.
QUIET! We are the 99% of WSO
How do I get the exact count?
Click on UFOinsider in the upper right hand corner then click on your banana count. Will give you the detail.
This is bonkers. Related - why were all those threads deleted anyway?
Perhaps Ben or Mario will make us whole with some artificially created bananas, with apparent purchase power but no real substance attached to them
I only lost about 15, but I'm disgruntled nonetheless.
Ouch!
I thought you were into that
I figured out where they all went...
ha, hey guys...sorry I didn't give you a heads up. here is what I wrote to some of you who PM'd me:
Don't worry, we expect QE x infinity to continue over here on WSO as well...WSO Credits are being injected into the system daily and I'm sure most of you will recover very quickly. also, if you have been around for a while you likely lost more as well since more threads in the past were deleted whereas now we just unpublish them for our records.
Thanks, Patrick
So WSO bananas aren't backed by the real thing?!
Computer scripts and algorithms "adjusting" the amounts... Sounds monetarist to me... Milton Friedman would have been proud.
i put a lot of time into my banana points..and now it all feels wasted. i feel used and empty
David Einhorn is writing a "jelly banana" speech as we speak
Down 17 :( not as bad as some of you guys on here though.
