So it would seem not everyone is happy with the pale reward they get for Sifting relentlessly up to 500 star points. Since I place much importance on both superficiality and rank, I thought I'd preemptively question the diamond's status and propose some alternatives, seeing as I just might, in a very distant future, have that rank myself, and would like to have something more colourful next to my insipid profile name

Amethyst: I didn't bother. Too close in color to ruby.

Of course the next "problem" we run into is that sapphire and ruby are both the same mineral, corundum, and so are of roughly the same value, with ruby having an ever-so-slight edge. It would be silly then, to get to 500 and have your gem downgraded.

Emerald, however, is far more valuable than either ruby or sapphire.

Diamonds are only precious because debeers keeps them locked up in a vault and controls the supply of them. This increases the value of them so that they can make more cashola. They are actually very common. Emeralds on the other hand are much more rare and beautiful.

What can I say, I am of the superficially minded variety. Although to be fair dickish, the country I live in isn't going down the drain just yet

The country is going down the pooper and the siftrostocracy are complaining about the color of their giant diamonds?!
