Ouch. I make the OPs current score for this thead to be a desperately disappointing minus eighty two. In a thead that's now 221 posts long, you really need to be scoring more than that.
You had a good (+48) run through the fourth and fifth pages (asssuming 30 posts per page), but you spent very heavily to get the thread going, and you need to always remember your break even point. On a 30 post page, five posts will break even (25 scoring posts at +1 each, 5 costing posts at -5 each) so you need to be making four posts or less on each page in order to be accumulating a score. I do fear that perhaps this thread's opening theme, clever as it is, just doesn't have the "ignite and retire combustibility" required to build a truly big total.
But I wouldn't be downhearted about it. It's a really good attempt in an arena (ENWorld) notorious for a being a low-scoring place that's hard to play in.
