So if I were to hand you a valid check for 50,000 dollars that expires in 2 year, locked in a safe that will explode violently if you don't enter the correct password but will unlock automatically 2 years later.
And I'm willing to sell you the password to the safe for 60,000 dollars.
It's still awesome that you got a check for $50k right? None of the rest of that detail matters, all that matters is that I gave you a $50k check, right?

Logic

The fact that they gave us 76 frag, which is the "majority" is irrelevant, what is relevant is how difficult and/or how much it would cost to complete the puzzle. That's all that is relevant.

No, you didn't say tendo is EQUAL to 400 scroll, but you strongly implies that he makes up the majority of the value (and that's what you have now, I have seen a number of people who... let's say imply it in a stronger fashion. The fact that your post was edited means I can't know if you rephrased it)

Are the Tendo fragments going to expire? That *ogy doesn't make any sense. It's more like money locked in a safe that will eventually unlock at some uncertain point, but doesn't ever expire.

It's possible that by the time a player can finally complete Tendo he will be worth less due to power creep/new ninjas, just like $50,000 locked away is probably going to be worth relatively less in the future due to inflation, but it's still better than NOTHING. I'm just treating it as if the Tendo fragments don't even exist. Maybe I'll be able to pick up the rest of those frags eventually maybe not, but it's not like I'm any worse off today because I have a few spare Tendo frags instead of 0.
