It is a pity I have only seen one picture of Gildor ever and it was quite horrible. So I spent my latest French lesson by trying to draw him... the results were horrible. If I ever manage to draw a Gildor I'm even somewhat satisfied with, I think I will make it my avvie...

Nerwen and McCaber are brothers? Great! And I'm somewhat amused by the fact that Elladan and Elrohir didn't make it to the fellowship formed by Elrond, but Saruman is willing to send them... And Legate: who shall be the Ring Bearer? Or is it a secret?

Ooh, of course, that wouldn't occur to me. Nice. But what about poor Elrohir? Well, actually now I think there may be something... (at least after this game people will know what they say in all the books )

Well, I thought that after the roles are set (or when there are at least more of you people), you could choose a Ring Bearer for yourselves. Or at least offer some candidates, and I'll leave it to the Council to make the final decision.

Well I'm all done with changing my location, avator, and signiture to match my character! My signiture isn't exactely a happy one, but I think it says something about Dáin II Ironfoot's worth.

Hey Legate, should we start Private Messaging some people to get them to join the game?

Sorry to interrupt everything, I'll just be reading along with this game since I have far too many things to do in life right now, sadly... Anyways...

Not to be bother or anything, but if you don't mind I could draw Gildor for you if you like. I'll have some freetime tomorrow and could make you an avvie.
If not, it's perfectly fine, since I have no idea what Gildor is going to look like and yours probably will be more suitable.

*puts on the Voice* And are you sure you don't want to join? Even if you are busy, one can always find some time to squeeze in one more thing to his timetable. This game is surely going to be interesting, and if you have the time to read, why not play as well? It's just making a few posts, that doesn't take much more time than reading.

What's wrong with Alan Lee's version?

Nothing. I never saw that. Actually, I like it very very much. I did not know that Gildor is such a cutie. (The one I saw was in a collectible card game and the picture is downright horrible...) The only slight objection I have against that Gildor is that the colours are so light that it might not look good in 64x64 size. I could try.

Now that'd be lovely. If you really are willing to do it, please do. I'm sure it'd be lovely. As to how he looks like, well, just don't make him blonde...

Everybody seems to be putting a lot of effort to my avvie. Thank you very much, Nerwen. I will use that unless THE Ka has a terrible itch to draw Gildor and creates a masterpiece (like she usually does)...

Anyway, I like your new look, Nerwen, and that of Groin's too... This will sure be a great game.

Nice avvies people!

It was pretty hard to find a nice pic of Tom but this will have to do until / if I find a better one.

I'm not sure if changing the locations or sigs is enhancing the feel of the game as they are seldom looked at but changing the avvie sure catches the eye and reminds us of the roles.

Let's hope this RPG-style (in-character -style that is so as not fuzz the border between RPG's and WW) doesn't scare too many people. I'm really looking forwards to this.

I had already decided to have a pause because I'm quite busy... But this idea sounded so awesome that I just have to join. Thanks a lot, Legate. There's goodbye to my schoolwork... Nah, at least I have an excuse now.

I'm not sure yet on who I'll be, I have too many ideas. Gollum would be nice, or some sweet orc or the Mouth of Sauron or even Bergil or Forlong. I considered Old Man Willow too but then thought that his posts would probably not be too constructive...

We'll see. I'll try to make up my mind soon.
