Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

as administrator of this forum I'd really like to know what happened here?! master Holger can you explain in private please? (i was away doing some shopping and I definitly missed something)

now as it stands, master Gavin maths are good, but that does not solve the problem... and master Shadyt comment is fair but - no offense intended at all - I find it 200% subjective... actually maybe as subjective as my posts and not objective when it comes to define what is GF... what is regular, what should be done...

As someone said... MS was meant to offer people -through suggestions- the possibility to make something like a MX... something very special... "unique" in its own way... You may think a standard bearer is unique... this is your right indeed, but had you the money or if Mithril offered you a MX for free, would you submit a "standard bearer" or "wolfrider" or "trumpeter" or any kind of anonymous military "auxiliary" that has nothing unique?

well, please please I repeat myself I just want to make my point clear but don't want to offense nor attack anybody but proposing any kind of "military functionnality" is for me strictly the same as suggesting , for exemple : "adventurer man looking to his left" ... this is How I "feel" it. I don't mean it IS it, it's just how I feel it... worthless EXCEPT , in the end, for the superb crafting for its rendering which makes it worth at the time of its release, but not at the time of its voting or.. victory...

I hope you won't take it to you shadyt, I just wanted to express what I feel... and I am not english-native speaker so I may have erred in some style...

Now that it seems the thematic idea is a bad one and freedom and democracy for all is the only solution, I will carry on NOT submitting (until vignette months are up) BUT voting for ideas I like.... this I do...
still the regular M releases problem is still up... but does not concern Fellowship directly I think...

I hardly need  to point out, Master Elf, that if you and other non-MERP, non-wargaming members don't make suggestions each month then the Fellowship polls will soon become overwhelmed with nonentities and repeats ('Witchking blowing his nose', for instance). And that would never do. Make your suggestions and let free wiil take its course.

And for those of you not following the plot, the 'other guys' to whom Master Gavin refers are GW, andf the guy whose work I detest is Gary Morley late (but not late enough) of said GW. Ptui!

I like this debate ! it is full of lots interesting informations... ideas and suggestions... for all kind of mithril collectors... for gamers, diorama builders and simply collectors ( like I'm ) ... but I found here some bad news...

Master Holger my dear respected forever real creative friend..... ! It is logical to delete your conversion topic after all "something like problems" from last month and I totally support your decision, but it is a pity that you are deleted "Who is who topic"... I've accepted this topic like something close and familiar to all of us members of MMP...

I completely agree -- those deletions are leaving lot's of ruins and emptiness here, a very rude reaction in my opinion ...

Oh dear, another Orc - calling itself "Patience Wafford this time" - at least that's original. Gildor, I think we're being invaded...they're sneaking in under the guise of "Guests".

I've deleted this latest intrusion, but they're coming in under the floorboards, I think...

Good step Gildor!

You could repeat suggestion in some other combinations. Maybe soon we would have possibility to suggest some scene ( through vignette option ) and there put Bilbo in mithril coat, with arkenstone........... together with some furniture in his house, as he looked on his mithril coat just few moments before he decided to hide treasure... something like vignette MV362... but without Gandalf

Well he was a burgaler,and he could become invisible... It might be possible:D

mmh Bilbo never stole the arkenstone for himself and he is not interested in it personnaly

besides, I doubt Bilbo is strong enough to open Thorin Sarcophagus and retrieve the Arkenstone from within, along with Orcrist...

It is buried for good...

I would like a Nazgul with flying devise.....

Speaking of Fellowship miniatures, can we have next "Legolas with fighting device"? It would go along nicely with "Sam with cooking apparatus".

Sorry, I've tried but I couldn't restrain myself. But seriously, wouldn't have been better "Sam cooking" or "Herbs and stewed rabbit" as the chapter tittle of our favourite books?

You're damned right Master Arthadan, maybe it's not too late for Wendy to propose this "Herbs and stewed rabbit" title change.

I think I titled my suggestion "Sam, camp cook".  I don't know where apparatus comes from.  With apparatus in the name, it sounds either translated from a different language or like it's a non licensed knock off like "elf in mail" or "dwarf smithing silver like material".

Sam, camp cook, A brace of coneys, Sam with a brace of coneys, Of herbs and stewed rabbit, anything else would be good...

Didn't he always refer to it as his 'cooking gear'?or would cooking utensils sound better?
