Using duplicates = cheating
Well, using dupes was the only way to close the circle. And once that circle closed, I have to admit I felt a power unlike any I have felt before in the universe, and that was with the dupes in there. I would not attempt it again with a ring of singletons, for fear of the dark energy they hold.
The only reason I have so many 3-D's is that nobody gives the 3-D's the proper respect. So I buy them. They are triple shot Clacks after all. (His Eminence, don Click Clack said those red and blue eyes are not paint, but rather are the result of his triple shot molding process).
Hmm, well I guess I could sell off my dupes, but who is worthy? I would need to know that the person who buys them, truly loves them, and will cherish them and not melt them, or harm them in any way.
