Do you want to know what the 40,000 accommodations are like?

The 40K club, having tired of the wretched excess in the mansions, castles and islands, has decided to settle ourselves down in an artist’s village, where we will spend our time writing, making music and crafts and dancing with other jelly artists.

We will live more simply, cooking our own food or eating in the central dining area. We have access to many recreational activities, but really, we prefer to make art and love* and conversation.

*(So hurry up, the rest of you so we can get started.)

@wundayatta @marinelife I was going to suggest you start an organic greenhouse for the incoming jellys, then thought, heck you can start an organic forest for me, I’ve got so far to go to get there. Enjoy!

That sounds great. Actually, nicer than a mansion or a castle.

The snails pace I set I’ll see you there in, oh, 4 or 5 years lol. Hopefully, you won’t be all activitied, conversationed, making art or love-ed out.

“Central dining area”? OMG… you’re going to live in a dorm and eat in the cafeteria? Blecch.

I am quite looking forward to the wretched excess in the mansions, castles and islands but you are going to have to slow down. You are moving too fast.

I’m just starting on the wretched anything worth doing, is worth doing to excess thing, so send me a postcard. When I’m burnt out, I’ll come for a visit!

@CyanoticWasp No dorms. Everyone has their own place. And you don’t have to eat with other people if you don’t want to. Although I do hope you will sit at my table from time to time. I have a special brew I made just for you. But don’t worry. You won’t have to deal with it for a while yet.

I kind of enjoy the excess I’m indulging on the island right now. But maybe it will get old and I’ll be ready for the laid back life of the 40K generation.

@wundayatta : Getting back to basics? Nice.

I was thinking along the same lines as @wundayatta: glorious simplicity. Single cottages for the introverts and small shared four-unit dwellings or a room in a dorm for the extroverts, with communal meals, all in a beautiful environment—an environment that registers differently in your perceptions depending on who you are: seaside for the ocean lovers, lush foliage for the tropics lovers, mountaintop for the peak lovers, rolling green countryside for the landscape lovers, etc. And for some of us who crave variety, a smorgasbord.

I imagine a place where it is possible to grow anything in the soil so bamboo may grow right next cacao and holly. On one side, there will be a river where you can fish. On the other side, an ocean with pulsing wavelets that beacons you to swim and sail and dig for clams. Every night, there would be a feast of wonderfully simple and delicious foods unless one of the 40k Jellies was feeling creative. You wouldn’t gain a pound from desert, unless you wanted to, and it would be possible to run for miles without getting tired.

Oh, what a wondrous place it must be!

I love the villiage idea. Send us creatins a postcard.

@wundayatta that sounds wonderful. I can’t wait to get there now!

IIIIIIIIIIIIII…LIKE it.

See you there in about three years.

This all sounds heavenly. Save me a little cottage, would you? I’ll bring the beer. :)

I’ll carry a watermelon…

We were all watching the race and it was exciting to watch. Bottomline, two really great people won.

Congratulations!!!! There’s not even an award for 40,000.

@lillycoyote As I recall, it was said there is an award for 40,000. The current programming is having problems with the awards at the moment, though, and they are working on that.

It showed up in the community feed for a bit, it’s the Titan award.

I’m still trying to achieve my personalized Mer-Jelly award! I can never find a personalized anything with my name on it…I come here and whatyaknow!!! Everytime I go on a trip my first thing is to find a personalized item…oh just NEVER But i come to Fluther and I find my own personal Jelly name and I gotta work for it. 
By the time I get to 40K you guys will be @ 140K and maybe you will be able to be warped wherever you want your like a Fluthebrity 

@filmfann and @JilltheTooth Thanks. I’ve been away, back and forth, and when I came back and realized both @marinelife and @wundayatta had hit 40,000 I checked the awards list and didn’t see anything.

Wow you guys!

After 40k, they hypnotize you to find out your innermost secrets and expectations. They then put you on a holideck that reflexes that. You live out life in happiness and bliss until there is a power failure and you discover you are in a blimp hanger like room with thousands of emitters. You then realize all you lived was a lie and the truth over loads your brain and you have a schizoid embolism, spending all your days until you reach 50k (—which will be a long time) in a padded room and a straight jacket, chained to the wall. Then when you hit 50k you are mercifully euthanized with a gruel of hemlock.—

It is a Fluther secret, don’t tell anyone

@Hypocrisy_Central You forgot the lobotomy. Which makes it easier to get up to 50K.
