Q:

Are the tumbleweed criteria different between members of the trilogy?

Are the maximum number of views allowed for tumbleweed-qualifying questions different between different members of the Stack Overflow trilogy?

A:

If the question in question is "Mac equivalent of FinePrint’s ability to merge print jobs", then it looks like the upvote on the question, as well as being marked a favourite, discounts it from becoming a Tumbleweed. 
Now what you have to do is track down that person who clicked on the star and harangue them for denying you a Tumbleweed badge.
