Greetings from my wife (who has played this for the last year or two), and she suggests you find a real good tribe to join.

She really plays? I am in a pretty good one right now on world 39. I started on world nine in February of 2008 but I quit and came back this past summer to world 39. I have a link to the tw stats page under the my website thing.

Let me add I found a player on a different world that I play who uses the name Boromir of Gondor. Boro, is that you or just a coincidence?

She got rid of her estates (by permanent holiday proxy or whatever you call it in English) two weeks ago in order to have more time for RL (and is now complaining about her WW-addicted hubby again). Before that, she played the German version, called "Die Stämme" - same game, but not linked in any way with the anglophonic worlds, I think.
And judging from the names people give their villages, there seem to be not a few Tolkienistas among the players - probably a lot of movie fans among 'em, but maybe a few who should be recruited for the Downs, who knows?

The duke of my tribe on world 39 is friends with this Boromir of Gondor guy. The German version is no overrun by Brits. The new German world had an invasion of all these Brits from the UK server. Next time I talk to some of these Tolkien fans I will bring up the downs.

Islamic fundamentalism. Not in the way you probably think... it's just that I can't think of what to write about them, not after practically living in the Institute of Islamic Affairs in school for days, not after scouring the internet... I, with all my Western education and stuff, just don't get it enough to be able to write about them without saying what I really think of them.

I'm assuming it's the dude who happens to have my AIM screen name? If you are assigning him to Mordor, must be my alter ego? Anyway, It's not me. I've never heard of Tribal wars until now.

Speaking of hungry hippos, I definitely assign them to Mordor. Big mean nasty brutes that they are. Which also reminds me of an article about dolphins that was shown to me about a week ago. I'm sure Mythbusters was correct when testing they will protect other things from sharks, but dolphins are also really perverted. Therefor I also assign Hayden Panettiere to Mordor, who is not that great of an actress, as well as her defense of dolphins.
