Cheers (or lack thereof)

The subject of cheers has been widely discussed and debated here on 43T. Of what I know:

• What’s the algorithm? Only one Robot knows
• How long do they last? Supposedly 24 hrs, maybe it’s only 12, but really only the cheer goblins know
• How many “free” do you get per day? 5
• What are alternative ways to gain more? By getting one from other 43er and by participating in Neighborhood Watch. Other methods unknown.

OK, I can live with that, well, sort of. What really gets under me is the expiration date minute of cheers. For me, ideally cheers should last 48 hrs. That would make a good balance between 43T time and accomplishing goals. Even if you do check in every day, you might do it an hour or two later the next day, and then, oh, sorry, you just lost some cheers :S Also, I think we should deserve a cheer for the entries we write.

Anyway, today, I come to find I have 32 cheers received in the last 21 hours :), 20 of which were received in the las 12; my cheers available = 1 (one!!) Can somebody explain that? If this doesn’t change, there’s no way I’m ever going to catch up with cheers. I admit I’ve been having a rough week, but this cheer issue isn’t helping :(
