Re: The Taproom
And surely not only for this destination !!! 
Absolutely fantastic piece! Should have put Fram, the dragonslayer not on that round base . . . 
Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: The Taproom
There are 5002 posts before this one, so It looks like Master Archer won the taproom lottery.

Re: The Taproom
No, it was Master Thingol, so he gets the free drinks - the rest of you have to pay (as if you ever will...).

Well standing round in the Pony is what you're good at, Master Tree. Nob will be getting the lights and baubles out any day now.

Re: The Taproom
Please master Barliman, if you have some real refreshing drinks from the south with anis, I would have 2 of it.
Sneaking in this attic has put my thirst so high !

Re: The Taproom
Sorry, I haven't, so you can't. I've got a bottle of green gunk here, called absinth I think it is, or you can have one of Nob's aniseed balls (not getting personal, you underrstand), but that's about as close as I can get - to Nob or this "anis" stuff you mentioned. Or you could try some of the drain cleaner - probably tastes much the same. Otherwise we only have strong, manly drinks, such as triple-X scrumpy and, er, triple-X scrumpy. Or you could try the triple-X scrumpy.

Re: The Taproom
I guess I came to the right time for a free drink!
Lets sit down and enjoy!
Where there is a will there is a way, just as there are no problems, only solutions! Guess it depends on ones own perspective of the matter at that time

Re: The Taproom
Problems in the vote GF:
Michael----- Due to members giving passwords to non Fellowship members, resulting in 5 votes being made by NON- FELLOWSHIP members I have decided to VOID this round completely.
It saddens me.
I will run a short vote again of the top ideas. I apologise for those members who did vote fairly. The password will also be changed.
PLEASE NEVER ALLOW THE PASSWORD TO BE GIVEN TO ANYONE.
Note: I do not know who they voted for, in case you wondered, I just know they voted, where they are in the world (big brother is watching you), and that they are not Mithril customers, let alone Fellowship members.

Re: The Taproom
So basically, if you read ALL of Michael's posts, some FG member "at a party" helped five of their friends open user accounts with mithril, then gave them the password, then allowed them to vote using their computer. In other words: IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MEMBER CHEATED!!!! I have emailed Michael to tell us who that person was. I certainly would like to hear an explanation from them, wouldn't the rest of you? And I don't think any amount of scrumpy can excuse the fact that they didn't report the transgretion to Mithril, but allowed the vote to go forward until Michael discovered it. This does not sound like an "honest" mistake!
Am I the one who is mistaken? Are there facts I don't know about? Please let the FG member speak up. I am not looking for a witch hunt. But hopefully everyone here agrees that we must have figures that won the vote fairly. Otherwise why bother at all?

Re: The Taproom
.... I know that I'm not this member or few of them who cheated but I know that I have opportunity to support and promote again my suggestion Thorin III Stonehelm but there are lot's of guys who love nameless things and creatures so voting will be interesting again...

Re: The Taproom
well Michael said they were 5, but could only find 2 among this "party of friends" he still does not know who are the other three ones
I don't have a damn idea about who all of these might be, but I doubt knowing the identity could change anything , I just hope it is not a member of MMP as it could be a very bad for us
If they are no mithril customers, that could also mean there is a leak, and a break in the security of the official board..

Re: The Taproom
These are strange days indeed. Some fellows try to help the company to survive while other only see their own interrest...who are these orcs, I wonder...They for sure would taste my hobbit's anger !
By the way Master Barliman, I will have the meal you proposed, but behind the bar please as I am waiting for another hobbit gardener friend.
