Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

I agree that it's a question Chris wouldn't answer in public, in which case what does asking it on the Mithril website achieve? It may generate rancour and ill-feeling towards you. It's a good question, but I suspect we already know the answer. If you want a quiet life I'd recommend you remove it. But these are only my own thoughts, of course.

mmmhh I posted a 'question for Chris" on the official board here :
http://mithrilfigures.proboards.com/ind … amp;page=1

but I don't think Michael will like it, and Chris would certainly refuse answering it officially... If you think it is a bad idea to ask... please tell me, and I will remove it... But I think many customers would be interested in the answer :

For those who don't have access to the GF forum here is the question :

"What's your opinion about Mithril politics of releases considering some of your work has been taking dust on factory shelves, sometimes for almost a year if not more"

I think you have probably answered your own question Gildor , but I wouldn't remove it unless Chris asks you to - M may not like the question, but it is pertinent.

Well, Gildor, I must say that I do like that question.
Being some kind of "ofense" ( I don´t know another word, but I do not take it into a "bad" contense)
is the right way to "wake" up people. In my last case it lead to that Master Q.  quit. But it ain´t a bad decision . . . not at all . . .
So polarizing - let´s call it this way- often lead to emotional- so to say- clear answers . . .
I hope you see what i mean  . . .
Go ahead! I wouldn´t remove it AT ALL !!!!

And I agree to Master Cameo-sis, someone else should ask- otherwise you have to wait for the next release couple of weeks again . . .

To my opinion, your question is good, but it's a question for aware fans (up to fanatics ?). And I am sure the man could not answer to it on the forum.
So I would ask him in private if not already done.

Of course, I understand someone's frustation knowing some sculpts are not visible.  So like Imisel did, I would recommend to try to remain neutral in questions.
Afterall, what Michael proposes is to be involved in an interview of The mithril sculptor's . This could be very nice topic, if answers were "alive" on the forum....

I already know the unofficial answer Milo, as we discussed this in private already with the man but that's not something he would answer to publicly if not asked ...

still I doubt he would accept to answer it publicly at all as it would create problems between him and mithril...

the question is good but as you point out.... it should be another than myself who should ask it.... my background with both Mithril and Chris would make it too odd and I will be addressed by Michael (or even Chris) as a troublemaker for asking again considering my past "actions" among the "official mithril community" (not mmp)

so if someone is willing to ask it, or rephrase it so it is more politically correct please go on

I'm sure there is a way to make the point by changing the style of the question in something more correct...

such as "mithril has been producing several retail figurines a year, sometimes several sets and only one fellowship figurine once a year at best... not the tendancy has reversed and twelve fellowship a year as opposed to less than 10 retail figurines a year . what is your opinion about this change for Mithril ?

that's more neutral and fine I think

true but with some more "tact"

COME BACK Master Ent !

I was trying to fond nob under any table as I'm still waiting for my breakfast since last saturday and wanted to talk about htis with him.
Please ,share a drink with me.

Huuoommm ... er ... congratulations coming deep from me heart, Master Twrich ... huoomm ...  indeed ... huom ...very good news you provided ... though, to be honest, ten years is next to nothing ... rhuoomm ... though ... it will feel good for the next ten, or even more years .... huomm ... that's all an Ent can tell ... wishing you all the best .... rhuoommmmmmmhûomm ...

Many congratulations, Master Ranger! So all those funny noises coming from the dark corner weren't always just you, eh? I should have guessed. And there was I thinking that it was just the weed that made your voice sound so high at times.

Congratulations!!

Good news fellows and ladies, my long-time Sweetie and I were married on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands on Tuesday. We are surrounded by many friends and family. Of couse, we did not wait for this day as long as Aragorn and Arwen . . . but ten years is a long time to be together, and our life spans are not as long as those of the men of Numenor, much less to compare the immortality of Elves!

So bring several rounds for everyone present, and for those to visit in the next several days, my good Barkeep! And whatever the cost, I'm sure it will be a small addition to the total amount of this whole adventure!

Oh, and if Nob could come around with the best Southfarthing weed to fill our pipes, that would be much appreciated!!!

10 years of life give you the confirmation of true love....

I wish you all the best dear friend.
I wish you a peaceful and happy time.
I wish you eternal love.
I wish you a small heir who will love your collection of figurines.
I wish you many happy days.....

... by the end of the fourth age...
