Yes, but if you don't already own the ribbon before earning it, there is a longer time period in which it counts towards the transparent ribbon.
For example: Day 1 12:00: You earn a violet ribbon, but don't qualify for it because you already have one. The earning of the violet ribbon begins to count against the 5 ribbons you need for a transparent ribbon. Day 8 12:00: 7 days have passed, so the earning of the violet ribbon no longer counts against the 5 ribbons you need for a transparent ribbon. as opposed to: Day 1 12:00: You earn a violet ribbon, and qualify for it because you don't already have one. The qualification for the violet ribbon begins to count against the 5 ribbons you need for a transparent ribbon. Day 5 15:32: You award yourself the violet ribbon, so you no longer qualify for it. Day 12 15:32: 7 days have passed, so the qualification for the violet ribbon no longer counts against the 5 ribbons you need for a transparent ribbon. -twg ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Thursday, November 1, 2018 12:03 PM, Reuben Staley <reuben.sta...@gmail.com> wrote: > Actually, that's false.
