Marks!

[Jane]

Ahh, yes, my perennial forum topic - Marks and How to Spend Them.  Though lately I need help on Marks and How to SAVE Them.

This is me:



(Smaug!  Not the invisible little hobbit creature!)

Or it would be me if I could save a few more of the darn things - but I will be saving from now on.  I've just spent almost all the marks I have to my name getting the last thing on my shopping list ticked off.  Now I can go back to hoarding again.

Does anybody else use their marks?  Or plan to use them when they are resting on a big enough pile?

Is there something else that we can't currently purchase with marks that you would like to be able to?

What about combining marks for a location?

I could combine with somebody to do something.  Let me see ...  I have about ... Yes.  I have 11 marks available!  :laughing5:

I'm spendingf mine slowly. It seemed to take forever to get to 2000 of the little beggars, but now, I have nothing to spend them on.  I was going to apply for the beastie hall, but I want to make sure I have Causton well and truly working for me before I do anything more.

Though I haven't given up on the idea totally.  And I have a few more NPC's to PC.  

I am scouring to see if there're any needed persona that I can fill positions with, so may be once I have found one or two I'll need the marks, but until then, I'll just sit on my hoard.

I'm going to be hoarding up my marks for a couple of things.  I don't know for certain but...well...we'll see.    I may change my mind later.  For now, I'll just hoard. :-D

I guess I'm hoarding mine -- don't know for what. . .

I guess I'm hoarding mine -- don't know for what. . .

In case a good coposting friend needs lots of marks for a project she has in mind but hardly has any left of her own having heedlessly spent them all and the very good coposting friend thinks that she could supply the idea and very-kind-Vix would put in nearly all the marks ... Huh?

That might be 'for what'!

[Kaysea]

Subtle Jane, very subtle. LOL

[Vix]

Do you think she had anyone in particular in mind?

[Kaysea]

*shakes head*

*says sarcastically*

Noooooo!

[Jane]

You also seem to have a big pile of marks and no urgent plans, Kaysea.

I now have 50 marks of my own to contribute, you know!

If I work hard and reply lots I could have 5000 by the end of the year.  :geek:

[Kaysea]

*looks around and whistles innocently*

Who? Me?

Nah, I'm not really that wealthy, its a glitch in the system...

;)

(Went to check tally - over 3000!! wooo hoooo!!!)

[Kaysea]

Besides - according to your little tag over there <<<<<
you have over 1400 marks - so what you complainin'
'bout woman?

You think I don't know my marks total down to the nearest 32nd of a mark?  Huh?  Huh?

Marks I have:

1459 (forums)
318 (web site)
____________

1777 (apparent total)


Less those spent and not yet noted on the web site:

800 (L3 requirements-free at Weyr)
425 (guaranteed Impression of a bronze)
500 (L4 requirements-free at Weyr)
____________

1725 (total spent)


So, 1777 - 1725 = 52

Plus this reply = 55.

I now have 55 marks to contribute.

Well done on earning over 3000!

What're you hoarding for/asking people to contribute to, Jane? *curious*

What're you hoarding for/asking people to contribute to, Jane? *curious*

That was my next question, Avril.

[Jane]

Well, I'm thinking of:

* opening a Hall at an existing Hold (for which I will need 2000 marks - easily achieved with two very good coposting friends), or

* I quite like the idea of a new PC Hold and Lord Holder (for which I will need 4000 marks - and that would be a little tougher on my two very good coposting friends), or

* perhaps a junior goldrider (for which I would need 5000 marks - and possibly the Council would quibble about joint ownership of one character so I might have to do that all myself).
