10. HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT TWA?
I've been in several PUGs with members from the Western Alliance and they always seem like a friendy and skilled lot Its also a kinship with a good reputation out there.

11. DO YOU KNOW ANY CURRENT TWA MEMBERS?
I see some familiar names, some I think I have been in kinship with earlier.

12. ABOUT YOURSELF
Hmm, what to say. Passed 30 recently and had to come to terms with not being young and promising anymore I live in Trondheim in the middle of Norway with my girlfriend, but am originally from Oslo. Been studying psychology at the University of Oslo, and finished my Ph.d last year. I work now as a clinical psychologist, but luckily I havent lost my sanity yet. My hobbies are icehockey, gaming and playing the guitar. And playing LOTRO of course. I usually play the game with my brother (Alerion), which also is applying for membership at the same time.

13. ABOUT YOUR MAIN
Valandar Carnesir was born in Lothlorien at the end of the 2nd age. His father died in battle against Saurons forces in the battle of Dagorlad with the last alliance of Men and Elves. Together with Alerion Carnesir, his older brother, he ventured to Ered Luin to seek council with the elves of Celondim about creating safe passage for the Elves leaving for Valinor from Lorien. Little did he know of the turmoils he would encounter, as Saurons forces grew stronger and the Ring began its journey from the Shire and eastwards.

14. I AM INTERESTED IN RAIDING
Must say I love raiding a lot, and am very interested in it.

15. I AM INTERESTED IN FELLOWSHIP QUESTS
A lot. For me socialization is a key factor in the game, and grouping is a great way of having fun with others. Love to help out if needed.

16. I AM INTERESTED IN RP & RP EVENTS
Some. RPing is good fun, but I'm not that good at it to be honest. Maybe I just need training.

Vaaaaaal !!11one!!1  :rawkon:

Good to see you apply , mate! GL with ur app  ;D

"You see, there's this thing called aggro."
"What's aggro?"
"It's a very complicated, very technical roleplaying expression. Loosely translated, it means 'the healer dies'."

Hey Mac, good to see you again

Thanks, crossing my fingers for membership

good luck with your app, mate!

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Welcome and good luck!

Dániel Fekete played for Trondheim Black Panthers, but i think he left by now, anyway, what i wanted to say is: welcome to the forums and good luck!!

Yeah, thats true. Fekete played in Trondheim in 2007 or 2008 I think. He was very good. I believe he went to the Austrian hockey league or something. Is he still on the Hungarian national team?

he's normally a national team core player but he is injured at the moment stupid swede teammate broke his hand on a training.. he played in Austria yes, and then he returned to a Hungarian team in the Austrian first league.

we've lost relegation to A division yesterday, due to a wrong technical decision.. started with a broken goalie and let Italy score twice quickly

Ah, sorry to hear it. Both the injury and the loss against Italy. That's a really frustrating way to lose a match, especially such an important one. What happened?

Invited today by me.
