Child seems to have joined those with a free pass to Aman.

*breaks out champagne* Congratulations.

Lalwendë · 02-22-2005, 04:00 AM

Hurrah! At least I won't have to do all the washing up by myself.

This might give me more time for fishing...

And I see Mithalwen has joined the Council of Elrond. I bet he's more than a bit perturbed to have one of his biggest stalkers...oops, *cough* fans around...

Mithalwen · 02-22-2005, 11:56 AM

Oh it will be very select gathering now with an healthy m/f ration ... wonder if HI and B88 are hen-pecked or lucky bunnies.... But I hope my room is ensuite cos there is bound to be competition for the bathrooms

Well I am taking a detour via Dorwinion and am a little fragile from the farewell bash (they know how to party down at the Court..) ..... so I am due for a little R&R...

But if I see Elrond.. I think I will be too shy to speak... and of course I always remember what my Mamma said.....

Congradulations to Child and Mith on their new positions. Tis an honor to be up here with such great mind, (I now find myself in the same thinking as davem, how the heck did I get up here)?

For myself, I can only assume that my presence is not my reward but someone else's punishment...... But I am happy to be in Rivendell ... I have always wanted to visit and I don't know that I will want to leave ..... seeing it is the perfect place to be quiet or be merry......

But first I think, I need a bath after the journey, a little refreshment and then do some stargazing. Then to the hall of fire to warm up and sing... bit chilly so far North ....... Maybe someone can help me unload the car...

I've only gotten one rep so far, it was positive thank goodness. I'm gonna try to stay on everybody's good side so so I don't get any bad rep.

.....and thus the game would end. I believe HerenIstarion alluded to that a few pages ago

Post #374 of the current thread. It took thrice as less as I predicted, as I haven't counted for leaping increase in 'giving' power, which made the ascend speedier by far. In this respect, my calculations were short of the mark

Out of curiosity, would those abiding in Taniquetil enlighten me if they have around 2000 points (as my reasoning was that highest amount of squares - 11 (which is proven true so far) should be got by that amount of points. (I was right with 1200 and 1500 so far

)

As for the end of game, I have a suspicion that accumulation of points does not end with 2000, just squares stop adding up

The exact data can be got from BW, of course, but he adds to the fun of gambling by keeping very silent about the issue

Thanks

I'm currently on 2220 if that helps....

I have one green box and a green circle.... not sure what that means, but green is generally a good color...so I think it's good...

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-29-2005, 11:19 AM

Maybe, just maybe, after the green blocks stop their auspicious collisions, other things start to happen.

Maybe, once you reach 2500 points, a fiery square will appear around your avatar.

Or when you reach 5000 points, the Barrow-wight could personally donate to you a vast quantity of gold.

Amrod the Hunter · 04-06-2005, 02:02 PM

The only reward that you will get is the inner pleasure.
I can't get more than one green box,so I wouldn't worry about that.
BTW:How could you get 11 boxes in the name of God!?

Mithalwen · 04-07-2005, 11:59 AM

Well you may need to make a few more posts

... it is possible for people to make very rapid progress now that so many of the old lags have so much "weight" and often like to encourage new talent .... but as you so rightly say the inner pleasure is what counts..

That's very true. Your best posts aren't those that get the most rep but those that you feel good/proud that you've uploaded.
