I think how it works is: When I get one more follower and reach a big round 500, my mummy wrappings will explode off of me, my ruby red eyes will glow, and I'll be able to draw the Sword of AnShusoth That Weeps For the World and finally be able to a) punch down a whole pyramid with my dusty knuckles and b) probably keep posting the same ol' stuff I've been posting as the mood strikes, but y'know, with fewer bandages on.
