Cuthbyrt's Application

Hail, friends.

I wrote on the Laurelin forum so:

It's been a while since I have ridden the fields of Eriador. But now I have finally returned from a long journey into Rohan, my homeland, and I'm looking for fellow adventurers to help me with my tasks.

Since I was away for a long time, most of the faces here seem unfamiliar to me. I am a loner by nature, but alas, not even as skilled a Burglar as me can make it alone. I'm seeking a Kinship of equally experienced adventurers and need contact information for Officers in charge of recruiting new members.

[I'm a lvl 50 Burglar seeking a suitable Kinship. I've been away from the game for quite some time and don't know anything about current Kinships on Laurelin. I'm interested in joining a Kinship that can provide me with (in order of importance):

1.) Enough high-level friends of various classes to join me for lvl 50 quests, Epic and otherwise
2.) Mature players with acceptable manners and minimal 1337-speak
3.) Some Raiding every now and then
4.) Occasional role-playing sessions

In return, I believe I can contribute some serious, back-stabbing, purse-robbing stealth power to fellow Kinship members looking for treasure. And oh, I'm not terribly interested in PvMP. In my opinion, this game is all about cooperation.

If you like what you read, please write a little something about your Kinship and why you think I would make an excellent addition in it. I'll be available in-game once Book 12 will be up and running.]

I received replies from The Western Alliance and liked what I saw. I'd like to join your ranks.

To add a little something to the original message, I'll just say that IRL I'm 33 years old, single male, and live with two cats. I have a background and a day job in a university in Finland; Computer Science is my field. Since the launch of LOTRO, I've been blogging about the game in Finnish and have now reactivated the blog. Any fellow Finns out there, I salute you! :-)

I hope to talk to you more in Kinship chat soon!

Yah!  A burglar... :vh1:

Welcome to the kinship!

Purse-robbing is okay, I have no purse, but keep your hands of my pies, ok?

Teppic: "Scream."

Hey Cuthbyrt, I am the burglar class elder.
I will hopefully get in touch with you as soon as possible if none of the other officers already have done so.

Oh and I dont mind if you do some purse-robbing. Nobody in the kin has ever caught me  :vh1:

Cast off your fear! Look forward! Go forward! Never stand still. Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die. Shout.. my name is.. ZANGETSU!

Congratulations on becoming a full member  :vh1:
