I always knock politely and ask for admittance.
And congratulations davem, well deserved indeed. Although I hope to be keeping you company at the court of Elessar soon. . .  (Note to Self: stop repping davem.)

Irony of ironies! It was davem himself who 'repped me up' to his own stratospheric heights!
(Note to Self: start repping davem again.)

Darn, I never knew you could gather this many "reputation jewels," oh boy, I got a lot of catching up to do.
Before I forget, congrats Davem and Fordhim, reaching the new level. |

OK this is going to sound really dumb but. . .
I am red-green colour blind so I sometimes have trouble with things online. Is that newest little boxy-jewel thing a different colour from the others???????

Looks just slightly brighter than the others.

Maybe it means that you can't get any more boxes and that the next level will have two bright green squares and then three, etc.? Congratulations davem and Fordim.

Our hares lack overconfidence and this tortoise is slow these days
Quote:
 Despite waking up to discover I have received over 20 points overnight (my Galadriel post on the current Chapter by Chapter discussion) , I doubt I could ever catch up to our front runners, even should they choose to look casually over their shoulders. They're in a league of their own I would say. I do have a question, though, about this bright green jewel which now adorns davem and Fordim. Does this "high positive rating" refect the status of having over 500 points? Or does it reflect multiple reps for one post?

*stares rather morosely at her single jewel* Phoo.
 What are the different rep numbers you need to get more jewels?Congratulations to davem and Fordim!  Is there even a higher rep to be had?  Many huzzahs to ye both!Abedithon le, ~ Saphy ~

I'm guessing its every 100 rep points. The only time I moved up, I was at 100 points. Now, I'm about 16 points away from 200, so I need to just make some spectacular posts (which I haven't been doing last couple days) and we'll find out then. Unless, someone for sure knows now.

Ooh obviously quite tight at the top of the board - Fordim will have to watch his back...

May I also add my congrats to Bethberry on her accession to Aragorn's court.
(I suppose this means Fordim & I now have to stop lazing around in our underwear & drinking beer in here Unless Bb wants to join us )

*Fordim quickly puts on a robe and pours his beer into a glass; adopts an elegant pose and lights his pipe*
Ah yes, greetings Bethberry, delightful to see you. Can I fetch you a sherry? Whisky neat? Oh, and yes, congratulations my dear dear lady.

Dancing all night
*opens the windows to clear out some of the stale pipe smoke* (My allergies, you know, gentlemen. *coughs* I may on occasion wear George Sand's pants, but I haven't picked up her habit concerning cigars.) And I will have port, thank you, Fordim, unless the beer here is English.
Thank you Lindolirian and my esteemed colleagues davem and Fordim. But what's this? Aragorn's court is as slovenly as PJ's film hero? tsk. To be honest, when I see so many very worthy Downers around I am surprised to find myself (currently) third. I pinch myself and wonder when the clock will eventually strike midnight and whether I will find myself barefoot.

Query
Oh Great and Mighty Barrow Wighty --
Is "Aragorn's Court" and/or six jewelly-box thingees some kind of plateau? I've just bust through what I thought would be the next level, but there was no new jewelly-box thingee. I would have asked this via PM, but with davem and now Bethberry closing in on the same mark (or already passed it), and others just behind, I thought it might be useful to have this on the open thread.

The boxes are 1 per hundred, I think. The titles have different point requirements.

Ah Fordim! You will have to settle for quality (ie shininess) instead of quality... maybe when all the jewels are bright they will change colour!
Silk dressing gowns a la Noel Coward?

And he would have succeeded too if it hadn't been for those pesky Valar....
Well Fordim would be a plausible corruption over many ages of the world, of "Feanorion", scion of Feanor... I man haven't got time to work out the exact vowel changes but... PS Sorry BW... perhaps I should delete not edit

Hmmm... perhaps it's for the best that the purty lil jewels aren't continuing to come (at the same rate, anyway) because when I first saw the six, I was wondering if in time there would have to be two rows of shiny green to accommodate all of certain individual's rep points! Maybe when you reach six you have to get, say, 200 points to obtain another box. Just a thought. Last edited by Encaitare; 11-02-2004 at 02:47 PM. Reason: spiffy smiley |

Greetings and welcome to Aragorn's Court Saucepan Man. Your smoking jacket is there on the hook, and here is your pipe. You can have a seat by the fire and chat with davem, or if you'd rather, I wouldn't mind a partner at billiards.
Where's Bethberry you say? She's just popped down to the kitchen to make us all a cup of tea. . .

Why thank you Fordim.
It's a pleasure to be here. Hmm, I wouldn't say no to one of those big fat Havanas, if you don't mind. Oh, and Guinness on tap too. I must say that I really feel rather at home here. *Saucepan puts his feet up and starts to watch the footie* Say, we'd best make the most of it before Child and Helen arrive and restore the gender balance.

 Welcome and well done, SaucepanMan. Perhaps as a lawyer you can point out to our esteemed colleagues that "court" is a formal place and not the smoking room. That is off to the side somewhere, perhaps down the line of negative reputations. *grins*

Aragorn's court...
Alas, there is something in me that prefers having 'the fame of Frodo' to any of the other labels, and rather dreads losing that greatest and deepest of associations. Sentimental, but I never was one for high society.

Actually I think being "no fool of a took" was fab but I don't necessarily want to return to it....
