Your rumour is worth a bowl of liquid, Master Tree, but I’m agog to know what it’s about (assuming it isn’t something we already know about – it’s not more of those vertically challenged Mw chaps, is it?). And “press release”? What press release? – I haven’t seen one. Where can a body view it?

Bt the way, Master Gildor, do you have any idea how I keep becoming “unsubscribed” from this forum!? It’s happened twice in the past few days alone. Makes it very hard to keep an eye on what people are up to in the bar.

Huoommm … so hasty you are, Master Barliman again … huommm … thanks for the bowl of liquid, by the way … delicious … it was …. indeed … rhuoommm … well, of course it isn’t anything even a barkeep in Bree might have heard about before … rhuoommm … I cannot imagine you have … huoommmm … but … well, ahem … if I may have another one of that … please …
rhuoommm bowls, I mean … I can tell you a bit more … rhuoommm … as for the press release I just received it today …. rhuooommm … not public that is so far …. huooommm
Master Barliman, I know that my way of talking or thinking might not always meet your Breeish brains … sorry … but I would rather advise you not to give up the Pony …. rhuoommm … it would end in a mess, I’m sure …. rhuoommm …
So what about another bowl of that you-know-what…. rhuoommm … barkeeps do know that by the increase of them liquids given freely (that means without charging or producing tabs or things like that) certain custumor’s tongues might be … huoommm … dry throat I do have indeed , sorry … rhuoommm … so well?

unsuscribed or you mean unlogged each time you join the forum?

if it is unlogged you have to :
-check the little checkbox asking you if you want the site to remember you each time you log in
-make sure your web browser accept cookies as it is the system used to recognize you if you check the checkbox.

If cookies are not authorized then indeed it cannot store your info and you have to log each time

you have to check both those aspects…

well enough for techniques….

I am more than happy that master Theobald wrote to the man, I was actually preparing such a letter myself but I did not have the time to finish it. and after all, it is good that someone besides me write to the man about “problems”, I feel as if I am always bringing him bad news he is not aware of… and I would not like to be a “stormcrow”….

Theobald, did you provide pictures of the unassambled still “primed” with-all-little-parts-attached badly to the Man so that he can observe the problem himself with his own eyes?

Did you notice besides the primer, the way the small parts were casted all together with BIG metal racks holding them (which are sometimes dangerous to cut without hurting the small part)… Indeed I suppose that casting the whole figurine in a single piece of metal reduces costs, but well…. if we break the figurine while assembling it, that’s not worth paying it this price too

Re my becoming “unsubscribed”, Master Gildor, I meant that my “subscription” to the Taproom keeps geing “un”-subscribed. Since I’m not changing anything, I can only suppose it’s a technical issue, though I’ve no idea what!

Also, I know what you mean re the “sprue” on the latest figures. I’ve found that the best way to avoid damaging anything is to snip the individual pieces off with a small piece of sprue still attached, and then file the piece (sword, shield or whatever) down to size. That way you avoid damaging the edge of the component.

Hy Wendy, do you have voted for that Troll???!!! Can´t believe it . . .

Oh no, I did not vote for the troll… I voted for my own suggestion, but if it is a close count for a named figure to make the next round of voting, I would rather support that one than my own. Of course, the remedy is to just wait longer before voting…

Huoommmm …. Master Gildor, unfortunately I wasn’t able in such a short time to provide The Man with pictures of that badly primed figures … rhuoommm … though I can assure you that he is taking this matter very (sic!) seriously …. and as I said, took steps …. huommm.
I do not mind telling The Man about certain problems, as they’re mine as well … huoomm … I did not assemble any figure of the ‘Gamling’s rally’ so far, just put them out of the blisters to have a closer look at them … rhuoommm … I had to do that … huoommm … I know that The Man so far hasn’t seen any of them …. huoomm …no, Master Gildor as for me I do not feel to be a “stormcrow” when providing facts … huoommm … facts The Man wasn’t aware of … rhuoommm …
on the other hand, Master Gildor, you should know me by now …. rhuooommmmmmhom

Thanks and praise to the Tree, who reacted hastily and informed the Man. Hope Eru will use his influence.

And Gildor, I do not think, you should be called stormcrow, and if so, well then you are immortal and wear one of the most popular hats ever .

Another bowl shuld be given those, who voted for Elves, dwarves and whatever. Anyway I have nothing against Half Trolls, I did not want to blame anybody .

Did anyone of you notice, that Gamling’s rally are Dol Amroth miniatures?? 😎

Have a look at the website of the company. It’s true! I think Michael must be at holidays as this is a bad mistake and we got no newsletter. The reason for such few votings maybe.

Huuoommmm … what about me, Master Estel, I voted for my own suggestion, which was the ship king of Gondor … rhuoommm … so, no bowl for me, alas … grooohommm …
all in all I do think that most of you read me messages much too hastily … huommm … but so you are … huoommm … I don’t mind …
As for a personal note, Master Estel, I feel a bit too much honoured … rhuoomm … nevertheless, thank you very much …. rhuooommm … it’s not influence at all, as trees do not influence nor even try to … rhuoommm … sometimes they do react … that’s all … huoommm.

Why every time I pop down to the cellar to add a few more dead rats to the brew do people think I’m not here? You can always ask Nob for service – he’s got nothing else to do since I confiscated his Wii game.

Huoommm … alas, I want to get rid of that unpublished press release for Mithril by The Man … rhuoommm … maybe I started the information I gave as a kind of Christmas riddle … rhuoomm
no one noticed, except Master Gildor … rhuoommm …. but until now he has not any idea about it …. huoommm … alas, I found that future Press-release by The Man again …. rhooommm … is anybody around here willing to pay me a nice bowl for that? …. rhuooommm … well? … huom

Huoommmm …. I’ll pay for the bowl with a rumour by The Man:
Rhuoomm … ahemm …err ..
“The next Mx offering from Mithril in conjunction with a Fellowship member will be the most ambitious project yet we have undertaken in these series. The Mx release is not just a single figure but an entire vignette.
“The un-expected party”.
While still in the planning stage we can tell you that it will have something of the same atmosphere as “The prancing Pony” release from 1988. It will comprise a series of small vignettes which will build into a complete scene of the great party at Bag-end.
Also, at last, Bombur will make an appearance in the Mithril range!”

Rhuoommm … that’s where we are. …… huooommmrhuommm … I hope you don’t mind ….hom

Sometimes … dreams have to become true …. rhuooommm …

Just coming back out of my wonderful little garden ( it was one of the few sunny days in this part of Germany ) and what is here?
A dry tree ?! Oh my goodness !
I will give you this ” long expected ” drink for free, Master Tree, for sure. And because of your encourage and your commitment there ar more drinks coming . . .
More than fantastic news fresh outta m-universe ( this is original the “P”- univeres and it is a song by Booootsy Collins . . . by the way )
I still wonder a little bit of the fact of placing this “roumor” here and today . . .

But we should concentrate in the future about that Christmas riddle . . .

¡Ohhh! Such a rumor deserves more than a bowl of his rare drinks …. In his honor, Master Theobald, I am ready to plant a pot or a small tree at the entrance to my barrow ….

Well, Master Michael is surely NOT on vacation.
He twitters . . .
But this should´t divert from the most important thing we have heard of couple of hours ago . . .

I seem to recall that the Party has already been hinted at somewhere (or am I suffering from deja-vu?) – but a Mithril release of Bombur? When? How? That is news indeed, and worth a week’s bowls of, er, water.

But I’m curious to know where this “press release” is hidden, or why it’s not been sent out, or if it has been sent out, who else has seen it. It’s all a bit odd.

The Party thing has been hinted at before.

But all the Dwarves?

Bloody awesome.

And how much it will cost? Aieeee. Scary
