Marks and Rewards

PastMember · February 14, 2007, 03:03:36 AM

Aside from the custom title in the forums (already ordered), the only thing that really interests me on the list is the 1000 marks for a HAD and whatever it takes to make the character forever regs free.

There are some things that the list could use but lacks:

10,000 -- Persona with more than 3 pets
15,000 -- Persona with a pet other than a canine, feline, runner, or firelizard
25,000 -- Persona with violet eyes
50,000 -- Persona with a wher (any color except gold)
100,000 -- Persona with a gold wher
250,000 -- Hear All Whers
500,000 -- Hear All Flits
750,000 -- Hear All People
1,000,000 -- Hear Everything
5,000,000 -- Dragonrider persona (non-gold) who had come forward to present.
10,000,000 -- Goldrider persona who had come forward to present.
1 billion marks -- A white firelizard.
10 billion marks -- A white dragon.
50 billion marks -- Bribe the webbies to remove the bug in the code that automatically resets your marks to zero when you hit 9,999 marks. ;)

That makes me not even want to lurk any more.

I can't even get excited about a custom title because I don't feel imaginative enough to come up with one. On another forum I've been dubbed "The Spitmeister" -- I earned a custom title, couldn't think of one, and asked for suggestions and votes.

Hmmm. . . maybe I should let others decide how I'll spend mine.
Of course, they'd have to be types that allowed me to remain a lurker.

Suggested custom titles for Vix:

"Eternal Lurker"
"Perpetual Lurker"
"Faux Lurker"
"Amish Lurker"
"Wannabe Lurker"
"I'm Just Lurking..."
"1st Class Lurker"

Any other suggestions?

Well, those are interesting ideas, though I meant "how to spend those marks in general."

As to the suggestions to purchase a ranker and create a new location or craft, I glanced over the credits last night, remembering how much work went into writing those already created. Nah. Not gonna happen.

Ok now that I've got that of my chest.

I'm currently saving up so that my first ever character can be brought into the Triad world untainted. No fixes or anything. I'm already getting rid of his six flits! He was the character I made when I first read Pern and was kind of Godmodding. But I'm softening him down for Triad, I promise. But thats all I'll say for him. :stumm:

Once he's alive and kicking outside my head I want to save up for a HAD and a Junior Goldrider. Maybe as the same character, maybe not.

Like Jane I didn't make my Hallsecond for the marks, that wasn't even part of the deal when Kouna got approved, just a nifty bonus. I also wanted to be a welcomer because it sounded like fun. I will admit to one thing. I try to post as much as possible on the board for the easy marks. :angel7: Don't hurt me because I use my resources!

PastMember · February 14, 2007, 06:00:57 AM

Patrick! For shame! Posting on the boards just for the easy 2 marks is... is... Oh who am I kidding? That's what I did to earn the last of my 50 marks for the title I ordered.

Patrick · February 14, 2007, 07:06:48 AM

I already said don't hurt me cause I'm resourceful! Now you made me sad that I'm earning marks. (Not enough to stop earning them but still) And you know what I noticed, we have very few sad smilies. or Angry ones. How odd.

That's cause Bree brought in the smilies and Bree has always been known as a bearer of goodness and light and smilies and sweetness and . . .

I better stop before I overdo it.

Hmmm. . .
I might have to search out that list of rewards again.

:lurk:
There's no rule that I have to be a member to redeem marks, is there?

Cali · February 14, 2007, 09:31:42 AM

I don't really pay attention to them, but I don't currently want anything off the list either. I'm sure if I decide I want a sona that costs then I'll start paying more attention :D

Every time I post something frivolous on the forums I do think that the 2 marks is much easier earned here than in coposting (or soloing) two 5kb+ Weyr posts. Then I remember that when I get up in the morning I rush to the forums *first*, long before I read the posts.

Yep, the sense of community is a great thing to foster ... and I console myself that my frivolous posts do their bit.

:computer:

This is very close!

I have the Tolkien illustration of Bilbo talking to Smaug. The dragon settled on the pile of treasure ... Yeah, that's how it is with me and marks.

Shhh! Don't remind people of that -- it's more likely they'll reduce posts here to 1/2 a mark than increase Weyr posts to 2 or 4 marks.
