I would say there would be more opportunity for fame in the First Age, not because of class differences, but because the various realms were less fragmented. Heroes of Rohan would not be known in the other realms - but, beside the obvious exception (Gondolin) the realms of the First Age kept fairly well abreast of the news from the other realms.

This actually makes the argument for Mordor more persuasive, though, since Mordor's fame unifies all of those fragmented realms in fear. I'd probably be inclined at this point to say my top two are Tol-in-Gaurhoth and Mordor - surprise twist!

Alright. Just to not give in too easily to the trump card...

The handsome and illustrious Prince Boromir, Guardian of the Taters, wishes to inform you all that he will not be present for this night's festivities, and bids you all a good evening and dreams of tater soup.

In other news, Rune wins again.

This win was bit of a surprise, but a welcome one. I was afraid that I had wasted one of the better "cards".

Anyways is there another round in the making?

Hopefully Friday I can resume again.

Sorry everyone, just a massive nightmare of a week...capped off by someone rear-ending me when I was at a stop sign (I'm fine/not injured...but other driver didn't have his insurance card, so I've had to some digging, just so I could find his auto insurance, policy, get an estimate, have them pay for it...all that fun stuff).

Sounds like quite a nightmarish week, Boro. Good that you're all right, and hopefully our future round can be a good cheer-up for you after all this

We shall thus endeavor to be that much more entertaining come the next round, my poor prince. *nuzzles you*

Aw, Boro. That's terrible. Hope that the rest of your week -- all two days of it, that is -- goes much better.

Just a note: My area is about to be hit by a rather large storm - you might have heard of it; it's hitting about all of the East Coast - and while I'll be fine, they are predicting a lot of power outages, so I might not be able to submit Red Taters and participate for a while. It might not happen, but I thought I should warn you all.

Ok...some bad news. Well let's start with the fortunate news that Boston managed to avoid the brunt of the monster storm so it wasn't very bad here. Also all other lovely wights on the east coast (as far as I'm aware) are indeed safe.

Bad news being, I've been swamped with work stuffs and more has been added on (never acknowledge you are still awake 9:30 pm when you're asked "are you awake? I have a favor to ask" and it involves work things...it can't ever be good if it comes after 6pm). It's nothing that needs to be finished immediately, tonight, which means lots of starbucks double-shot espressos (good) but it is aaaaa lllllotttt of added things I did not have on my plate previously (not good).

So, summary I will no longer be able to continue running this, or having much of an internet social life from now until April (well not including the holiday period). If anyone is interested and willing to take this up, I will be more than glad to send you what I've done.

Oh, Boro... That sounds awful! Half a year of this! I hope it goes by fast so that you can get a breath again.
