Thank you, Boromir and Estelyn. It was only a minor musing

I did read the beginning of the thread and the BWs posts, but obviously not closely enough!

I wonder if anyone has noticed that The Saucepan Man and davem now sit on high Taniquetil. The perfect spot for a wedding, if you ask me, once a certain boggart ascends the mountain.

Hearty congrats to all involved, but this raises an intriguing question.

If six enhanced jewels get you all the way to Taniquetil, where in the world do you end up if you manage to collect all eleven? And what title could you possibly bear in those interim four steps along the way?

Perhaps the final jewel puts you in Eru's presence and the ones before that have you serving on the council of Manwë or in the household of Varda? Hmm.... Anyone else have ideas on this, or you may want to tell me to be patient and wait.....

In such a spot the feast afterwards would have to consist of corned beef sandwiches, kendal mint cake and a flask of hot tea. Outfits would be mostly made up of orange cagoules, bobble hats and sturdy socks tucked into stout boots.

I still think that maybe what happens once people get to a certain level, they might get to 'pick their own' status so to speak.

Surely, if the 'gaps' one has to cover get wider as points get higher, then eventually, everyone will be up at the same level?

Maybe they'd wait until they are at the very presence of Eru himself, whom they could have already asked to officiate the ceremony.

That seems to me already happening, at least at a smaller scale. When I look at the Members List arranged descendingly in terms of reps, more and more people get a certain rep standing at the same time.

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

On a sidenote, Elrond must be wondering how on Middle-earth this character ever stumbled into his house.

You lot are so very kind and nice.

She has now! Which makes me feel like a bit of a gooseberry. Although perhaps I can officiate at the ceremony.

In any event, yet further congratulations are in order for davem and Lalwendë. Clearly they have much in common.
