Leaderboard Conundrum [From WTB]

To Tribe Nightwing and Silvertree,

The error made in the scoring is my own. In looking back over the amount of points earned for various projects, I realized there was some inequity between time spent/quality produced and actual points earned. I realized that in some cases, I had awarded fairly large point sums for activities that actually take very little time or effort, such as posting the same book review in ten different places.

And, after reading the responses to Nightwing's Promo Video on my blog, I realized that I had vastly underscored their efforts here. So many tribe member were involved in that project, and so many put in so much time...well, I really should have awarded them a much higher sum in the first place. You should realize that I showed the video to professionals at my publisher and they RAVED about it.

So, all that said, I remedied my initial error by awarding Nightwing additional points. According to my calculations, the scores for your two tribes are as follows:

Silvertree: Taken by Keeneye

409,800 Vanadils

Nightwing: Taken by Jacob Parker

[I'm not posting, but more than that. Only about 2K though]

It's now a virtual dead heat. May the best tribe win.

Never alone.

Leader Board

Most of you by now have seen that Mr. Batson ranked us 2nd. According to my point total and Jacob's we should be up by a large amount.

I have emailed Mr. Batson concerning this and will likely hear back today or tomorrow. I will be sure to let you know what he says.

In the meantime, today is the second to last tribe report. It's the last week, let's go all out. Send me everything you've done (especially the Time Sensitive thing) and do everything you can!

Thanks for hanging in there guys! Hopefully we'll have things figured out shortly lol

-Keeneye

Points Fiasco

Keeneye, methinks tis time you level with your tribe. Do we or do we NOT have more that nightwing, if so, how many more.

400 THOUSAND

WE JUST BROKE FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay....now for 450K :) Thanks tribe mates! Let's hit this homerun! WOOT!

"One Last Time!"

Theoden: So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate?
Aragorn: Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them.
Theoden:For death and glory.
Aragorn: For Rohan. For your people.
Theoden: The Horn of Helm Hammerhand will sound in the deep, one last time!

One last time! Can you hear it? The horn of Silvertree will ring out one last time!

This is the final week of the Tribe Building contest. That means that by Sunday everyone should have, at the very least, 10K. Bloggers, you should have nearly 20K. And anyone with internet access and a library should be over 40K.

There is only one week left. For people such as Millard, Winter, and myself it's time to wrap up all loose ends and hand in everything we've got. Have you fallen behind on points? Have you not participated at all? Have you hardly broken a thousand points?

You have one week to give your all.

Winning this challenge is very plausible. Within our grasp. We were winning at last count, we can be winning again.

Here are quick ways to get points:

Write REVIEWS: Most of you have read all of Wayne and Christopher's books. So review them! Post each review on 10 sites (see list here) and review all of the books you have read. This takes less than a hour, or maybe an hour total, to review and post all the reviews. And that gives you what? 40,000 Points! That's easy. You've no excuse not to get those ;) LOL jk

Post PURCHASING LINKS on Your Blog: Do you have a blog? Public or private? Great! Email me (Keeneye) at ServantOfTheOne (at) Gmail (dot) com for things called "purchasing links". If you go to my blog you can find them on the bottom sidebar. If you email me I will give you the codes and explain how to post them. For simply posting these you earn 8,000 points. That is easy stuff. And you don't even have to make them visible.

Mention ONE OF THE BOOKS in a BLOG POST: 100 points for every blog post mentioning a book.

Post BLOG LINKS on Your Blog: 100 points for every link to Wayne's Blog, Christopher's blog, or the Berinfell website.

Post COVER ART with AMAZON LINKS: Posting cover art and making it link (I can explain to you how) to the Amazon purchasing site is worth 100 Points.

I am asking every single member of this tribe (Millard, Winter, and myself included) to earn 1,000 points for this final week. If you're an active member bring us 5,000. If you have the time, bring us more.

You're playing for the oppurtunity of the life time! Is it worth two hours?

T-691200 and counting~!

Who here knows what is so significant about 691200? Anybody going to raise their hand? Yes? Maybe? Well I'll tell ya!! T-691200 is how much time until tribe ends on midnight tonight! Yes sir, in seconds this is when we end. Doesn't seem like much does it? What sort of lead do we really have? Perhaps, 1k, or two reviews and a poster to snatch victory from us. Maybe 5k? Ten reviews and one poster to beat us? Or maybe even 15k! But even that number.....is only five videos and eleven reviews to steal it. Think about this, NW is a big tribe! It would be FAR to easy for them to beat us in the end stretch. I think we have gotten a bit cocky, I for one want us to win, who is with me?

Elves! Our time is near!

Greetings fellow elves. We meet here in secret in our cavern, we like to call Consecro, or Silvertree depending on the dialect, the day of reckoning is near. The enemy will be swept away like dust before a broom, beat out like dirt out of a rug on cleaning day! But....Can the dust be swept without effort? Can you burglarize a strong man's house without first binding him? Will the rug beat itself? NO!

We are destined to win fellow elves, but what if that destiny of victory is snatched? What if all your points were for aught? Victory torn from your grasp at the end? The prize long sought after stolen!

This is what we are faced with elves, we can sweep or the dust AKA other tribes. Or let is lay on the floor and maybe stir up trouble. Let us finish! And Finish Strong :D

Long Live Berinfell! And Long live the Consecro ELVES!
