Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Huooomm ... Master Barliman, sorry I forgot to pay for last night ... though it wasn't necessary as there were so many people paying for drinks ... so I rather kept away from doing likewise ... huoomm ... I am sure you understand me well ... rhuômmmm

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

I think the win would have been more convincing if more people had voted. An MS figure winning with a total of just 7 votes is rather a sad state of affairs.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

True Master Barliman. 7 votes only is mostly due to the fact that there was only 1 round for voting. With a 2nd round, Bogatung may have not be winner at the end.

Regarding state of affairs, 29 votes in total is low...But this is the case since I joined GF in 2010.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

In a perfect world the number of Fellowship members should have increased in that time, whereas instead it seems to have dropped.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

huoomm ... and why? ... rhuom ... what do you think? ... is it because of the price for the figures or because some suggestions did not find enough interest? ... huomm ... or a mixture of both? ... huom ... maybe there could be also a development that today the interest in miniatures in general has declined, but I dunno ... hom ...

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

A mixture of all of the above, perhaps. There certainly seems to be a gradual decline in the number of people who participate in both suggesting and voting. I confess that I haven't made many suggestions myself in the past few months, but that's simply because other people keep making suggestions that I'd have made myself if I'd got there first! But I always vote. What is noticeable is that a lot of the original members seem to have faded away - both from MMP and the Fellowship. Apathy, perhaps? Or real life taking priority over hobbies? I'm sure that's happened to us all at some point in our lives.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

huooommm ... I see ... and yes, I also did not make many suggestions myself in the recent past, but I also do take part in the voting-process each time ... rhuoomm ... I will keep on collecting those tiny metal-things though that also makes me a bit frustrated sometimes, because it has become clear that I will never have enough time to paint all of them properly ... huoomm ... except I manage to extend my lifetime a little bit ... huom rhuom hom ...

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Well, here I am just returned from Oop North to celebrate a 3rd Birthday this week, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and find that I have missed The Tree's own sprouting anniversary big_smile.

Many Happy Returns Master Tree, and may you have many more wink.

On the ebay front I am happy as I picked up The Prancing Pony M113 (Strider, Frodo & Sam) for £1.28 + P &P, and one of the seated card players for £3.29 + P & P.

My Council of Elrond moves a step closer big_smile

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Huoomm ... so Master O'Brien just estimated the price for that new-and-marvellous vignette ... rhuouôm ... what I read is, that it's about the price for the MX-UP ... rhuooomm ... that means, let me guess ... 200 € max.... rhuomm ... or, if wer're lucky about 150 € ... rhuoommm ... as the vignette is not an MX and suchwise is not limited , I think it would be rather more 150, but  nothing less ... rhuom ... gruuoommm ... let me think ... please ...huoommm ...
the new vignette has less figures than the good-old MX-UP ... rhuuom, but those figures in the new vignette really cannot be compared with dwarves .... rhuoommm  ... my guess is ........................ between 160 and 200 coiny-things ... huommmm

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

I'll buy you a pint if it's less than €160.

One observation I've been meaning to make for a while, by the way, is that it would be nice if the figures could  be sold separately, like all other M figures.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Master Barliman, please, bring me a drink, something very strong.
My colleague lost his 8 years old son yesterday...

I am about to go to funeral and I do not know if I will be able to support this.
