Oh, fuck, goddesses...
Did I already rant about real goddessess not having to post on computer bulletin boards for tickets? I mean, they can crash the gate by descending from heaven, or other magical means...

Not just needy for tickets, but they want a rainbow too. Face value? any current market estimates on that?

If they're "goddesses" and they're offering "face value" isn't that code for blow jobs?

Wow. Bad poetry, birgins, goddesses and "LED entertainment" to trade. Do I even want to know?

Has someone created a Venn diagram of goddesses and sparkleponies?

I really don't have anything else to add, but I thought I should at least post to let you know I have been enjoying the commentary.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Re: 2012 Ticket Scorekeeping Thread
I think "celestial brothers"' and "soul sisters" should count as keywords worth the same number of points as "soul mate."
+25 points for having a meltdown in your ticket-begging thread in response to criticism/snark. Bonus +50 if, mid-meltdown, you claim to be especially enlightened.

And no, goddesses and sparkleponies are not mutually exclusive. There is over lap, more than 50% worth. But not 100, I think. So what is the overlap? And what are other relevant classes that should be included...

Re: 2012 Ticket Scorekeeping Thread
No Score Boys? I'm disappointed.... We were just wanting to know how to get tickets.. No Weirdness.. No sexual stuff. We are good people. New to the Burning board. We have friends in the burning community, but instead of bugging them about tickets we are Honestly trying to get them in a more creative way, our selfs.. We are a little late I know. We are Wishing on Luck. I love the banter can't wait to play!

I think we now need to come up with a point redemption system for ticket seekers that find this thread and start rating themselves!

I think we need a "doggerel bonus" for posts like this.
Also, what about a "grilled cheese" bonus? I've seen that pop up more than once.

Doggerel bonus: Definitely.
Grilled cheese bonus: Yeah, I was thinking the same. Since the epic grilled-cheese-sandwich-maker post, which was (deservedly) successful, people seem to be repeating the words "grilled cheese" as though they were magic. Perhaps a new ePlaya superstition is being born? I wonder if the bonus should be generalized to something like "gift plagiarism?" That might be too vague. Perhaps specific things like "grilled cheese" need to be added to the list as they come up.

Re: 2012 Ticket Scorekeeping Thread
I think any "gift plagiarism" should be a +25 at least since it shows both a lack of creativity and a level of desperation.
If they mention how creative they are (or how many skills they have) while plagiarizing it should be +50.
