Wahoo!! I got points!! I went from 910 to 2255!! And I still have a piece of art to get points for yet and the Reaver challenge too. They should post what each team got in points for the challenge.

I wrote a song! I'll admit I stole a lot of it, but what I stole was so perfect :) Here it is:

This is a song that people on Mal's homeplanet Shadow would sing. The minstrel of the group sings the main parts as Mal, the rest back him up with the chorus. Sung to "I am a Pirate King" from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" (that's why there's so many repeats :)

The Rebel of Serenity

Verse 1
Oh better far to live and die
Out in the black where I can fly
Than play a sanctimonious part
With a captain's head and a browncoat's heart
Away to the cheating worlds go you
Where Alliance all are well to do
But I'll be true to my home country
And live and die
The Rebel of Serenity

Chorus:
Main: For I am Captain Reynolds
Group: He is! Hurrah for Captain Reynolds
Main: And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be Captain Reynolds
Main: For I am Captain Reynolds
Group: He is! Hurrah for Captain Reynolds
Main: And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be Captain Reynolds
Group: It is! Hurrah for Captain Reynolds
Hurrah for Captain Reynolds!

Verse 2
When I sallied forth to save my valley
Zoe helped me in a martial way
I've killed a few more Feds it's true
Than a well-bred Shadow-man ought to do
But the head of the Alliance Academy
Who ruin's girls' brains with impunity
Must manage somehow to get through
More dirty work
Than ever I do

Chorus:
Main: For I am Captain Reynolds
Group: He is! Hurrah for Captain Reynolds
Main: And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be Captain Reynolds
Main: For I am Captain Reynolds
Group: He is! Hurrah for Captain Reynolds
Main: And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be Captain Reynolds
Group: It is! Hurrah for Captain Reynolds
Hurrah for Captain Reynolds!

Well, why don't we discuss the spending of points thing as a group. Some thoughts: I don't want to spend my points yet so that I don't drag down the group, but on the other hand (like Flechette) I'd hate to let the low-points items that I can afford run out before I had something to show for all my devotion. Now, I am still a bit confused about how points are awarded to the group--my best guess is it's all our points combined. Since we only have a handful of people who actually participate, it may be that our points will never amount to those of the lucky early starters who joined years ago and actually have in the tens of thousands. We're not in the top ten now at least. So, can we come to a group decision about how long to wait to buy items? Perhaps if we wait a little while but if you see the item you want running low you're free to just go for it?

*Serenity is enraged that Needy took her scarf. Her new, handbeaded silk scarf that she just bought. That cost her quite a bit of money. (Seriously, I just bought one at D*C. It's gorgeous. Peacocks and flowers and whatnot.) She was going to save it for a special occasion but now the image of Needy streaking down the corridors draped in nothing BUT her scarf has tainted it quite a bit.*

You better get that thing dry cleaned before you give it back to me! And if you ruin it, so help you Buddha and all the Valdar!

Captain! I am so glad you're back. I really don't want to be Captain. And I may be shooting Needy in the near future. He's askin' for it.

Safe-thanks!

Amy-thank you! I'll try to get your hat out later this week.

Flechette-*whew* Glad the hat fits.

I just got back from a weekend at the beach. I'm a little browner and a little blonder than when I left. And much more tired. Oh well, it was much much fun.

And I bought the Serenity novelization AND Visual Companion. Squee!!! (where's dug?)

Now, I must go check my CREDITS over at the UB.

Needy's in peril.

If he doesn't give me my scarf back and get himself some clothes, I'm gonna have to hurt him alot. And not in a nice way. Lots of peril for Needy.

(Can't I have just a little peril? No no, it's too perilous.)

I say spend your credits.

The whole ranking thing really doesn't matter that much, plus you'll earn more. You want a shirt, you buy a shirt. Just work hard to earn the credits back later!
