This is an opening to a "better man". Congratulation for your devotion to EE Isawa Tadaka, soon you will have 250 fate points and i (without taint and infamy ) cannot keep up with you! So please, open here with a Haiku for this great victory! Ojii *bowing 3 times*

Ojii-san,
You are still the standard by which others measure themselves. Thought the journey appears short, the terrain is increasingly difficult, and those of us who travel in your wake may be doing so for longer than it would seem. That you have reached such heights without a stain on your character does great honour to your clan and family, as do the achievements of your clan brother Takezo.
We await the Haiku, but its author is not yet certain.
Shagi

I hadn't even noticed until now (since it was mentioned, I looked into it) that Ojii-san and I are the only Top Ten fate characters with *no* infamy - indeed, most of the others are highly infamous indeed! (nearly all are >1000!) Well, the righteous path has always been a lonely one

And the path to true understanding is not for the weak of heart; The pure give up temptation in the name of honor, while the damned give up their souls in the name of not being blinded by falsehoods and assumptions.
I shall continue down this path until I truly know the ways of the world. Until then, every day, every milestone is but another step on the journey.
(( Wasn't going to post a thread certainly Ojii but thanks ^^ And if anyone is interested why Tadaka is like he is and what he is seeking, feel free to check out the RP "Kazuma's Room" in the public Phoenix section of the forums. ))

HA! Very true indeed Tadaka ;-) I "let it happen" without checking the rings scores. But in fact my friend, you could have made it a week ago; you are way in advance on me...
Has said in the haiku, all path are one (that was because of your caracter) :-) :-) :-)

I join my august brother Ojii in the 250 fate club. My relentless pursuit continues. These new trade jobs are shiny and distracting though.

The wait was too long. I stopped myself waiting And then there were three.

Thread becomes more and more ironic by the post... c.c
Especially now that Ojii-san is up to 254 and I'm not really close to getting a ring up for 250. Just goes to show the defeatist attitude of pure being a problem really isn't true. There will always be new stuff after all; just means I get to spend longer farming drops for the additional missions I have to do (I've been on one mission at MWK for 2 weeks now for instance, still not fully mastered).

I'm not really close to getting a ring up for 250. I'd say that three Water tokens is pretty close. Of course, that may equate to a week or more if you aren't actively hunting them...

Well, since I ran out of ways to get Slanders while getting mastery, I haven't gotten a token in at least 5 or 6 days now. Soooo... yeah. Not hunting tokens at all. Just trying to complete things rather than moving on.

250 Fate to me, is infinitely more impressive than 200 fate. I look at 250 fate from where I am, and wonder if I will ever get there. I'm at 217 fate right now, which means 33 more fate, which means 11 more "ring ups". But....
Earth (13) - 157 = 25 more tokens for 1 ring up. Air (14) - 189 = 21 more tokens for 1 ring up. Water (13) - 170 = 12 more tokens for 1 ring up. Fire (13) - 163 = 19 more tokens for 1 ring up. Void (11) -111 = 21 more tokens for 1 ring up.
So... To take my fate to the next "easiest" plateau, I need 98 tokens.... that will raise my fate to 232. The grind from there to 250 looks..... daunting to say the least.

I'm at 217 fate right now, which means 33 more fate, which means 11 more "ring ups". Sad statistician time: 217 to 250 took me from 13th March to 8th May. 56 days. I suspect I could have done it faster had I been actively chasing tokens, as I was up to around 150 fate. The previous 11 "ring-ups" took me 30 days. So progress is slowing quite dramatically, despite the increase in jobs available over that period.
