Re: THE TAPROOM 2
As for the menus, I wouldn't have thought you'd approve of paper, Master Tree! And I can't use vellum (it would offend the veggies and vegans), hence my letting the dribbles on the tablecloth tell the story. It's always worked till now. I suppose the problem for you is that you're too tall to see the blotches clearly, and you ca't bend down to take a closer look.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I';m here now --- but where has everybody gone? I can just about see the Raner amidst a pall of tobacco smoke and shadow, but otherwise the place is empty.

He didn't eat as much wholegrain, that's for sure.

If you don't, I'll send Nob round to break your kneecaps (that's as high as he can reach).

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I need some refreshment....
the answers from Michael on the official board put me into blank hot rage.... trying to calm down... but the tone used is really insulting for me

I read his comment. His sentences are cold and completely without emotion. Like a true PR in police department...

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
That is good news. These things happen far faaster than they used to! I wonder what approach The Man has taken to this combo?
As for the "Official Response" from Micheal, don't let it worry you, Master Gildor. I get the impression that he's not an ideal People Person, and sometimes lacks the tact that would be useful for someone who has to deal with customers. But his response was probably not intended to be as blunt as it came out. Your message probably just caught him at a bad moment.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Cheers, Master Milo! (by the way, did you recieve my e-mail?).
Master Elf, Michael's answer is just another proof of how ill-managed is Mithril. No marketing, no fresh ideas, no tact dealing with customers... and then they are surprised about sales!

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
got an email of explanation from Michael... no apology but explanation and master Barliman is definlity gifted with impressive insight, that's quite what happened...
still as Arthadan quotes, that shows there are severe dysfunctionning problems at mithril... political problems... but I suppose we should let them come.... and we'll see

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Huoommmm ... a well-filled bowl for our Ent, please, Master Barliman ...
rhuoomm ... I could easily understand his anger ... huom ... see, it's something different if a certain barkeep in the Pony reacts to some weird queries of the fellers around here, .... huom ... or if an answer is posted more publically by a person whose job it is to hide his "bad moments" behind some basic politeness ... rhuoommmm ... there are differences, meseems ...
