Re: THE TAPROOM 3
I thought hobbits considered it was always time for breakfast? Myself, I haven't even been to bed yet (long story).

Cheers, I offer "une tournée" Mater Barliman. Here is some coiny thinks
I received this morning a long letter from Liz Danforth with a special gift ...
She is a great person beside her artistic talent

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
I just had my finest oatmeal (and, uhm, all-bran) for breakfast.
I regret this choice.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
As you should. A good full Breeish breakfast, with fried eggs, tomatoes and sausages, is more what you need once in a while. A little of what you fancy does you good, as we say in Bree.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
huom ... er, did anyone around here understand or know where that rule comes from that Master O'Brien referred to on the official GF-board? ... hom ... there must be at least eight suggestions per month, he said this afternoon .... rhûom ... maybe he just thinks that quantity is better than quality ... hooommm ... alas, I dunno ... huomm ... sorry, I don't want to say that those three suggestions having been made after this appeal are lacking quality, you know, not at all .... huoommm .... it just seems to me that all this voting-system-thing is in a hassle for some time by now ... huom ...

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
I'm running out of ideas myself. The possibilities aren't infinite, there's a limited number of worthwhile figures that can be suggested. I certainly wasn't aware of there being a "rule" about a minimum of eight - if there is, then Master O'B has just made it up.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
Maybe it is just a way to alleviate the work that Chris has to do? grouping up months with less than eight suggestions can result in less miniatures to sculpt...
The problem is that they really got a branstorming of ideas! There are actually 14 suggestions

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
well master ent, master innkeeper, I just posted some comment on the official forum about this new 8 suggestions rules.... proposing that there are also a minimum number of votes for a suggestion to be considered "winning"
as for releasing... I know Chris is in the process of sculpting Castamir & Eldacar, and Thorondir the steward.... Saw some early sculpting of them and....... all I can say is that's is very original and quite never seen before ... I'm looking forward to see a more achieved work but the point is : Chris is up to date with sculpting. Mithril is not , with casting/licencing/packaging.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
I've just added a comment of my own, Master Elf.
This new "eight" rule smacks of being a method of reducing the number of Fellowship figures that Mithril is obliged to produce....

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
I think we all vote. Master Michael's "minimum of eight" suggestion (i.e. "rule") is nothing to do with not enough people voting. It's to do with generating more suggestions. Trouble is, all you get then is people unimaginatively suggesting Hobbits eating, Bilbo smoking his pipe, old women feeding chickens, the Witchking going to the lavatory, and so on. I'd be happier with fewer, less repetitive and more relevant suggestions.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
huoommm ... indeed, Master Barliman ... when I read that newsletter it seemed to me as a threat: when there are only 4 suggesstions it'll be the end of Mithril production .... hûom ... I see that after that there are some very poor and uninspired suggestions being made (from my point of view) .... huoooomm ....
when there's a minimum of suggestions (at least 8), is there also a maximum (e.g. not more than 12) ? .... huoommm .... ?

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
it would be better to go for crowdfunding on "suggested ideas" BY mithril... than carrying on this "farce" of a suggestion by us with a minimum suggestions... but no minimum votes... that's unbalanced.
I submitted the idea of crowdfunding as a replacement for the "commissioning" proposed by Mithril.
As all of you may know, in hobbies, such as lead figurines, recurent crowdfunding has become an established and quite approved business model that assures producers to not make mistakes and control the production very precisely.
