Candies?

[oldbrush]

I know that ilovemykids explained this a little in the 'Site Over-View' thread, but I'm still wondering about a few things...

For instance, one of the things for purchase with 'candies' said that it adds 50 posts to your post counts? What is its purpose? Does it count for the posts for a free gift or something?
And where is the thief item that is protected against by one of the immunities? I clicked on the tab for it under Candyland, but it said I'm not allowed to purchase it.
Anybody care to clarify? Thanks a lot.

If you purchase the 50 posts thing it will not count to your free gift.

You may not be able to access some of candy land because you only have 2 posts.
And you probably can't purchase anything because you have 109 candies.
Some of that stuff is up to 10,000 candies

Ouch. Looks like it'll be a while 'til I get there
But what is the '+50 post count' thing for, then?

I think it is one candy per 10 posts.

So people use candies to buy gifts? Soo confused.
