That's all very well, but I'm wondering if I should accept - I've just got settled in Aragorn's Court, & it would mean packing up all my stuff & moving hundreds of miles north.

I suppose I must accept my destiny, though (awaits commiserations from all my former coleagues in A's C....)

All contributions gratefully accepted. I'll be waiting for the rest of you - I'll tidy up the place -these Elves all seem to have their minds on 'higher things' ... The dust in here is terrible...

Oooh, Elrond's council, whoever thought of that reputation liner congrats to thee.

Also, congrats Davem, you might want to take them rep jewels with you it could get lonely. Considering you are the only one at that reputation stage (so far) and seeing that Elrond isn't around anymore.

I think that should earn me some positive rep, despite my appalling absence of late.

Congrats davem!

Congratulations and fare thee well, davem. You'll be sorely missed in Aragorn's Court.

But perhaps you can at last reveal the truth - did Elladan and Elrohir stay?

For the longer dead, I would be interested to know howm many posts they have made since the rep system started. Some people seem to have incredible averages..... (ie points per post)

I hope you parked your car safely, Mithalwen, we don't want anyone getting run down by careering vehicles on Rath Dinen. You'll have the health & safety rep out there blowing a fuse.

Things are back to normal. . .

I remember the very first day the rep system was turned on I looked to see who was in the lead and it was SaucepanMan. It stayed that way for quite a while as I recall, until Saucey disappeared on us for a couple of weeks and some other upstarts used that time to stage a coup de Downs.

It's nice to see that the King has indeed Returned.

Aha!The Scattergun approach works!

As evidenced by the fact that this development follows a long session in which I made a multitude of posts (accompanied by a nice bottle of red wine ). Although the main contributor was (ironically) my "Repping Game" post in Lalwendë's Barrow Downs Products thread. Indeed, 'tis my humour rather than my erudition (such as it is) that has contributed most to my rep tally.

I shall enjoy it while it lasts - which, I strongly suspect, shall not be very long, as there are many others whose posts are far more deserving, on a consistent basis, than mine.

In the meantime, many thanks for your kind comments.

Ok it was nothing to do with bad parking and the only person who was run over was me ..... in a desperate and successful attempt to prevent injury to anyone else's person or property... it's the season of goodwill can we forget the whole sordid matter now...frankly I wish I had never mentioned it...... I have a clean licence and maximum NCB... anyway I am sure like horses, cars are confined to the lower levels of the city. And my current jalopy would not cope with the gradient..

Well, how terribly inconvenient. You most certainly should decline then. Elrond, old chum, while I am most gratified to recieve your invitation, well, I'd really rather not - rather inconvenient, quite settled here in court and all, doncha know...

Congratulations to all those at Elrond's council, even if I am rather late

Mithalwen - OK, I've forgotten it... It's my festive gift to you! Anyway, I persuaded them to have some lifts installed - you know, it's terribly hard on the feet going up and down those seven levels. Now there's more room for us anyway and we can nab all the best chairs.

Why thank you - it will make a welcome adition to the actual gifts I received (somewhat scarily dominated by footcare and de-tox products - what are my friends trying to tell me? ) But I was counting on the slopes of Minas Tirith to get me fit as the hill of La Cotonne in St Etienne did a dozen years ago - although hill walking does encourage distressingly chunky calves. Anyway the first arrived were bound to have grabbed the best chairs (as in school staffrooms) so on that means Fordim and Davem's are the ones to go for ...I am anticipating an indefinate stay so I may as well make myself comfortable ...

Oh my, what's this! Fordim and Sauce now have four shiny baubles at Elrond's Council and have overtaken davem's lead.

Is this where the jewels part way with the place? Or am I confusing things? Previously, didn't a jewel move one up to a new sight?

I was assuming that you didn't actually smoke cigars ..... and alas I fear that we will not have the pleasure of your company too long you will be off and gone to the more elevated smoking room of Rivendell ... obvious now why Elrond held the council on the terrace (but kept the decanters in his own office ... lol elf after my own heart).

Oh I'll be here a while longer with my cheroots, stinking the place out. Well, now and then, anyways, you do tend to get odd looks as a 'lady' enjoying such a thing. I think that the 'Trinity' have gone up and away and far beyond the rest of us. Though davem might be upset to find you assuming he smokes cigars as he is a keen pipe smoker.

Now there's an idea, outdoor meetings! I might be able to contribute rather than daydream about the next break when I can get my next fix! (another reason not to start, folks - felt I had to do my 'public duty' health warning bit again there).

I'm afraid to say that Elrond's Council looks to be an altogether more formal and stuffy place than Aragorn's court. When I first arrived here I doffed my smoking jacket and was looking forward to lounging around in my underwear with a can of beer, just like in the good old days when it was just davem, SpM and I in Aragorn's Court.

But alas, Elrond came out and offered me sherry which he then poured into an elegant-yet-disappointingly-little crystal glass, and then Arwen showed up so I had to keep my pants on, and when I asked for some pipeweed I was told that Bilbo was all out and had given it up anyway as he is getting on in years. . .

I can't wait for Lalwende and Bethberry to get here so the party can really get started. . .hmmm. . .

*Fordim scurries off, then returns*

Nope, drat it -- have to spread some more rep around before they can get any more from me.

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

Yeah, and if I hear "Tra-la-la-lalley, Here down in the valley" much more, Mandos is suddenly going to have a lot of business on his hands ...

Pshaw! Elves!

Must be the lack of pipeweed making me irritable ...

Is there a way to view all the reputation points you've received, not just the most recent?

I think that, once a member has reached the highest allowable level in reputation, he or she should go back to zero, much like the return to white belt in Bruce Lee's martial art Jeet Kun Do

Cheers,
Lyta (who sends congratulations to all who have reached higher levels than she...oops! That means about half of everybody!) Heh heh...

Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.
I fear that would be far too depressing for those of us in the pack ..... since I am sure our frontrunners would garner points at a depressing rate and would soon start to lap .....
