Officially official, just one thing...

OK, we now have over 21 members! Actually 25 members! So this is my letter to you,

Dear Swiftstorm,
Thanks to all of yours and my efforts we have accomplished our first victory! We will soon be official. Now we embark on the next part of our journey, the hard part. As Gandalf says after the battle of Helms Deep, (not word for word of course) "I fear that this is just the first battle of many" Wow, I probably did that terrible injustice. I fear that this was but the easiest part of the journey, and it will take struggling to reach the top, but, that is not without hope! We will prevail above Silvertree, Nightwing, and Valorbrand among others. They will not put us down! Nay, when they brag that they scored twenty thousand points, we shall use that and win forty thousand points!
Now I say to thee, a promise of me. I will be on, I dedicate myself to make at LEAST 200 points a day and 2000 points a week. Now you may say to yourself '200 points a day! 2000 a week! This kids pathetic.' But my promise is not the points I will be earning, but that I will be on, and earning points, that I will not score some grand 15000 points and not do it again for 3 months or more (even though I don't think it even lasts that long) but that I will be earning something each day, starting next Monday. I will also always respond to your emails, all that I ask is that you do the same. Sadly, I will not be able to comment on the blogspot all the time because of computer problems, but I will usually be on the forum and on comment threads by WTB and CH. I will try to get on this as much as my computer allows though.
Now, go out and earn points. Let Swiftstorm reign above all others, but in everything we do, let us honor the One Who created us. Let us bring glory to Christ! It has begun!

PS, please do not friend me on Facebook, this may sound rude, but there are some personal thins there, and it's not that I don't trust you but I only friend people that I know off the computer, thanks.

  3. Hoorah! Seth, could you keep us updated on what we can do like with the things where we have limited points?

  4. "HUZZAH!" Ooo, I believe I t'was just elbowed by Nock! *laughs*

    Bravo, Tribe Leader! Thou art doing magnificently!

    Under one Creator. Glory be to Him alone. Through every detail, great and small, let us glorify Him. Bright lights that pierce the darkness, unstained by any sin. Let us endure until our victory, and if we fail, still lift our hands to Him.

    (Do not tell Keeneye about my horrid rhyming! *laughs* It was not supposed to be a poem, but I fear the end sounds like it. Oh well.)

  10. Seth...you should probably make this page private. I haven't read anything...but yeah...private :P lol

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oi! Begone thou cursed rival tribe! What art thou doing on our blog in any case? *laughs*

    ReplyDelete
  12. *sigh*

    Nathan, I've said this before, but really, no one can steal our points!! They can't include our links and claim to be the authors of our blogs!! And I really don't care if they see what we're up to. It will do nothing but strike fear in their hearts...muahahaha....

  13. I have finally created a review! *laughs* I know, I am pitiful. This was a test to see how the reviews would work, in any case. I believe it is a mere 100 points (but I am not certain and my internet is not letting me on The Underground at the moment for a mysterious, unknown reason, so you may wish to double check). The review is for The Door Within, and here be the link: http://www.amazon.com/Door-Within-Trilogy-Book-One/product-reviews/1400310113/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending

  14. For those who didn't get Seth's email, there are going to be officers that are in charge of a certain group of people. You send them the points, and the officers add them up, and send them to Seth. Also, instead of asking Seth questions, you ask your officer. Officers are also like advisors to the Tribe leader. So prepare to get assigned to a officer!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Since I haven't given Seth his email address, could he contact me via my blog (www.writersthoughts-brianna.blogspot.com) to assign me to an officer?

    Also, since we have over twenty-members, I'm just wondering if we've claimed the "Swiftstorm" title yet from Wayne Thomas Batson. So, have we?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oops! I meant "twenty-one members"! =)

    ReplyDelete
  17. lol.... I'll tell Seth to asign you to an officer.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Me too!! Don't forget me, Nate, and bunny lover!! =D

    ReplyDelete
  19. We just got a new blog, so that means more points! (tell me if you get this)

    1200 for putting cover art on our blog (all of WTB's books and COTSK, all linked to Amazon and you have to scroll down a little)
    http://leslivres-mnl.blogspot.com

    300 for putting up links to WTB and CH's blogs and the Berinfell Prophecies website (sidebar)

  24. Oh yeah, Thomas, whisper also bought one. I'm not sure if she's officially a tribe member, but I think so.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Who's Whisper? IDK about Seth, but i'll tell him. How old are you? I don't care if you don't answer, I'm just wondering if you are close to my age.

    ReplyDelete
  26. She's on the forum (and actually I know her) and she said she's a member of the Swiftstorm tribe. Ask Seth. He should have a list of members...

    And me, I'm 15. You?
