Application and compeition!

Hello all,
My name is john mundie and I have talen to LOTR big style! I am only in this game because it is Tolkien (been a fan for more years than I can remember)
Never played any RPG type stuff before. Most of my computer time is spent flightsimming Captain John Mundie British airways virtual.
I am loving LOTRO but so far have found the social side of it to be a bit lacking , and I think a decent kinship of decent folk could be just the cure!
Competition - Guess my other hobby - prize one blueberry muffin! without recourse to google can anyone tell me my hobby if I say my  charachter names are
Ximenes level 19 hobbit hunter
Enigmatist level 4 hobbit burglar
and on another server
Azed level 10 Dwarf champion
Araucaria level 15 lore master
Bunthorne level 10 guardian
I am mostly a daytime player, but having said that I will be on from 7 pm thursday night as either Ximenes or Enigmatist if anyone wants to say hello
cheers
John M

Good luck with your application, mate! And great to meet another one without any talent for MMORPGs. I'm here for the Tolkien as well.
Don't know what other hobbies than flight simulators you've got. THAT's the enigma to me... All I got out of any of the names.
But I look forward to meeting you online. I'll buy you some of Barliman's lager.

Child of Mahal but subject of Oromë.
Bones of Stone and Iron, but a mind belonging to the Woods.
Strength of the Earth and wisdom of the Wild.
The Ancient Bow will never falter.

Oooo, a puzzle to solve!

Welcome to the boards, I'm sure an officer will try to be in contact soon.

love the sig !
may not make it Thursday but will definitely be up Friday evening and into the wee small hours
Cheers

Crossword puzzles?

greetings and welcome

IF I could just get started, I would be unstoppable !!

Welcome to the boards, hope to see you in-game soon! Thursday would be a great evening to meet though, since we have a kinship party planned then. As for the Tolkien part... I'm mostly playing LotRo since I'm a Tolkien addict too. If I read your application, the Western Allicance may just be the thing you're looking for. Joining helped me a lot in experiencing the social side of the game.
Trying to solve your "puzzle", I can only come up with Kairos answer, crossword puzzles??

I took the apple...

Crossword puzzles?

Wow, did you do that without googling?  I cheated.

kairos is the winner! I will assume the best that you didn't google
. cryptic crosswords are a passion of mine. ximenes was the man who set the "rules" for the
modern cryptic crossword , with the lewis Carroll misquote " you must say what you mean but you need not say what you mean"
the rest are favourite setters with whom I like to do battle.
kairos you will find a blueberry muffin in your mailbox next time I log on.
cheers

"most modern fantasy writers are merely re arranging the furniture in tolkiens attic"
