Thank you @Shivased! You shouldn't have! I think you deserves some points too for all the behind the scenes coordinating and managing you did! :hobbyhorse:

I would like to give my Hoppit Dart players some shinies of it's all the same to the Ninja

@Silmarë - An extra special icon buffing for winning the whole thing
@Taethowen and @Dimcairien Luiniel for coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively
and special shinies for @Allafyrefleorhtlig and @Shivased for the amazing distraction/entertainment/what the...? they managed to pull off

NPF edit: Winddancer mentioned a few posts back that I only trib the winner, not the runners up. But given that the winner was an admin, I will devide their points to the 2 runners up. Tara got her buff too. And Alla and Shiva got some love too.

Thank you @Frostbite for the shiniest.

Can the admins please kindly trib the threadrunner of Hoppit Darts too! I know @Frostbite was nervous at running a game and it was amazingly well done. Organised, fun, engaged in every player both through the story and interacting IC, took everyone’s contributions and went with it. Especially love how he included the two weird spectators into the game, rewarded people for interacting with his character’s fosterchild, skilfully facilitated things like a gaggle of girls in the kitchen, a snakapult and a ghost horse!

Altogether an exceptionally well run thread deserving of lots of shinies.

NPF edit: Yes! This I can do!

I probably shouldn’t be admitting this, but I fear I may have just been tributed by accident ? Plaza says I have received points, but there is no nomination that I can see here, and I certainly haven’t played any games in order to have won anything :shrug: Did the kind fairy trip and spill some precious on an unsuspecting little soul ? :googly:

Can I please request some lovely shinies for team Bleu Cheese Shoes for winning the the first ever Word Sleuth match on NuPlaza?

@Mojo
@Almarëa Mordollwen
@Frostbite
@Anárië

And some special icon buffing for @Tarawen and @Moriel!

Thanks for playing everyone! :grouphug:

While I can't request tribute for The Pointy-Eared Hairy-Footed Horse-Loving Tree-Huggers of Minas Tirith, I do need to give @Fairy Nuff, @Aerlinn, @Menolly, @Gwai, @Turin Ringhûn, and @Durien a shout out for having the most ridiculous team name ever.

Just saw that I got a nice bunch of shinies! Thank you! Since I don't see my name in here for recommendation I can only assume I need to hunt down which posts you thought were worthy. Thank you very much again! :D <Edit: So I found one, but the amount of shinies I was given indicated two posts, unless you reeeeeeally enjoyed the one post.>

If the "Dispense Points" ability is not currently on cooldown, can you please target Bereth and give the keybind a smash or two?

Those last two lines rocked me; my mind-fingers have been turning them this way and that, seeing how the light plays through them, and what colors come out the other side.

May @Allafyrefleorhtlig receive some shinies for all her hard work coordinating the Edoras Burns - Firefighting RPG and somehow weaving together all the various storylines from multiple threads and tying it into one single RPG? Just thinking about it all makes my head hurt so I think a lot of effort must have been put into this!

Now the epic-ness that was the fires of Edoras is over (wow that was an intense two weeks!) I would like to nominate a few people to be visited by the ninja fairy.

As impossible as it always is to choose between the contributions, I think @Thalionwen Hunigfolm deserves something for her heroic efforts in single-handedly manning the pop-up infirmary, @Lirimaer for her creative tactics in fire-fighting and @Eléowyn for pulling all our heart-strings with her Beda plotline!

NPF edit: All done and some for the firemaster too!

Thanksies for the bonus pointsies, unexpected but as always, very welcome.

On another note, I'm not sure if @Thalionwen Hunigfolm has received TR points for the Infirmary, but even if she has...

I know it can't have been easy for her to open a popular thread like that and run it single-handedly, especially as she has had to deal with all the training herself while it is getting started up, but in addition to her role as both cavalry healer and Infirmary Queen has also seen her volunteering her services in the Riddermarket and the Firefighting thread as a healer, fielding even more victims patients even when 'off duty'.

What I'm trying to say is that it isn't easy to open a completely new type of thread in a Kingdom like Rohan where there is already so much history and tradition, and so many RPs and activities to catch the attention. A lot of the threads I have seen have been re-decorated old favourites, and it is a true credit to Thali that this completely original approach to creating a 'Rohirric Houses of Healing' as it were has been such a success. The Infirmary has fast become an important and exceedingly popular part of the kingdom and all of that is down to her commitment, excellent writing and inclusive attitude.

I don't know if this is really worthy of extra pointsies but I feel like it is worthy of some merit and thanks, so :smooch:

NPF edit: Agreed!

Since we're reaching the end, would it be possible to give some shinies to @Boromir88 and @Androthelm for their consistent and thought-provoking contributions in the FotR read-along thread? Both are much more knowledgeable than I am but made me feel very welcome and I appreciate it.
Also if it hasn't been done already can @Mojo get some for facilitating and coordinating it?
