Nice family picture, man. Girls are getting big. Can't help but think that the patterns on your wife's shoulder are child-induced stains from, "Hmm, this looks like a convenient place to wipe my mouth."

Kids...

Lhunardawen · 11-06-2007, 08:08 PM

Yes, morm, how they've grown indeed! Your older girl has much longer hair in that photo than I remember.

It may reduce your workload if you provide suggestions for us.

Sorry for not answering, I somehow missed all the posts from this day.

Thanks, I'll try to keep up the good work!

Anything goes, I'd say. Of course, it's more convinient if the picture is of some basic Windows format (jpeg, bmp) and no larger than the screen, so that it can be seen without scrolling. I'll take the right to re-size the pictures if needed.

Thank you very much! And to the administrator too!

There you go, done! A very nice picture too.

alatar · 11-13-2007, 03:34 PM

Thanks, Volo, for updating the photo page with yet another shot of the alatar tribe.

Note that the picture that I sent to Volo was:

JPEG format,

175 Kb in size,

72 DPI,

and 868 X 1376 pixels.

Let me know if you had to resize it so that future submissions will be exactly what you need.

Volo · 11-14-2007, 02:40 AM

I couldn't open the picture in Paint, so the quality and size probably changed a bit. It's pretty wierd that it couldn't be opened, as I've never had such problems before, especially with JPEG.

Sorry man. The file was created on a Mac, and so that may be the problem. I'll figure out a solution for the next time.

Thanks again.

Elfchick7 · 11-14-2007, 07:08 PM

Thanks so much for posting my pic, Volo, and for picking the site back up. Of course, props to Tigerlilly who started it up in the first place.

Ah, Superman finally shows his face! You don't look at all like I imagined you, Gil. You look so...serious.

Elfchick7, you look very lovely. May I have your skirt?

i don't like most of my smiling pictures... we'll see if one comes along that i like enough to post...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-23-2007, 06:51 AM

When we are already at the revealing of the enigmas, Mr. Volo just put my picture up at the photo page... After the last WW game, Mr. Might finally wanted to see what his daddy looks like, and when I were to send it to him, I decided that I will post it also here so you all have something from it.

It's not exactly the best photo, but since of all the people around me I am the photographer, I have very few photos of myself... and those I have are either group photos, or they are in very bad quality (flare and so on). This one is about a month old and it is one of the better ones.

The Might · 11-23-2007, 10:41 AM

Just as already said to Legate, it looks as if he has found a modern Argonath.
Due to his wisdom in WW games, great knowledge of M-e lore and appearence I actually suspect him of being an Elf in disguise! (possibly Lindir).
Of course he will try to deny this, but I am quite certain.

If his hair grows a bit longer, I can easily mistake him for one. In perfect match with my perception of you through the Downs, you look very wise, Legate.

Oh! * blushes*

Of course I will. But if I were, I wouldn't mind being Lindir - he is a nice fellow.

Aganzir · 11-23-2007, 02:24 PM

Legate looks much kinder and less scary than I had been thinking. I guess I got the impression because of those slightly annoyed-looking eyes in his avatar.

Gil-Galad · 11-23-2007, 10:38 PM

i always imagined Legate as a Davem-persona... now he looks like a Rune persona...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-24-2007, 06:09 AM

WHAT ?!

Where is this photo! I cannot belive this until I see it. . .I must depart for the photo page at once.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-24-2007, 06:11 AM

I have returned!

That is deffinitlt not Legate. . . . . . . . .as I pictured him.

Well, I don't know what I look like when I am annoyed, but I believe I am annoyed very scarcely. I hope nothing else makes me appear scary around here.

While I agree that Legate looks like an Elf, I must say Volo doesn't make a very attractive woman(?) !

*laughs hysterically* Sorry, Rune, but that was all too funny.

Just noticed that Elfchick looks very much like Lucy Griffiths who plays Maid Marian in the BBC Robin Hood series.

Say, now I think Legate looks quite like how I first imagined Formendacil.

Actually, that's the way used to I picture him as well.

But seriously, Legate, you're the most elvish-looking person I've ever seen (at least on that picture).

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-25-2007, 02:36 AM

Well, from what all of you say I'd say I should after all vote for Elf at the "With what race do you identify yourself" thread, with the note "based on outside observation".

I know. I have cried all weekend because all my future plans were crushed there.

Anyway, don't suit me for adding that picture here.

And to advertise a bit: I'm willing to try something new with the page, as long as the basic format stays the same.

Lhunardawen · 11-25-2007, 08:19 AM

I was thinking of asking this in the guestbook...

I just wanted to know, Volo, if we're free to change our photos every now and then (reasonably, of course), or if you'll be imposing a sort of limit for a given time frame.

Any time you like, and any ammount of photos you like, although it probably makes more sense to have one.

Well, if you have that much free time... But I don't think any of us would be up to changing our photos every day - even every week - anyway.

Rikae · 11-25-2007, 10:39 AM

Interestng - I didn't expect Legate to have long hair, but I did expect him to look very kind and wise, as he does.
I pictured him older, though (same goes for Lommy, actually).

Well, I don't see it. . .at least not to the extend that other people does.

Of course when people say "legate looks like an elf" and I look at the photo with this in mind, I can see why they might say that.

The first time I saw it I did not have this in mind and I never thought "wow how elvish"

Oh, Rune, thank you. At least someone believes me a human

That of course provides me enough cover to prove TM's theory about Elf in disguise as false. Because of that, I believe he wanted to divert suspicion from himself; succesfuly creating a bandwagon. For this,

++The Might

And see you later at another episode of WW: Were-elves and were-legates. Thank you.
