The Travelling Elrond

I contemplated for quite a while if I should place a comment here now, as my last involvement in this matter just caused some trouble for me behind the screens. – Anyway, I feel I have to comment, as I once felt me being responsible for “Elrond’s Travels” in Germany. [You might remember that I “rescued” him somewhere in Berlin a long time ago.]

I think it is not only a shame and a pity what happened to the “Travelling Elrond”. Definitely not, as along with the parcel there have been travelling so many other items, gifts, pictures and notes added by former hosts that all contributed well. The old parcel had to be extended twice by a larger one. Not to mention Wendy’s notes and ideas about this project are in it.

I cannot think of any reasonable excuse for the latest development, sorry. To me this is larceny, maybe based on ignorance.

Milo, I would like to say that this idea of just starting to have another figure travelling to replace the lost Elrond is something I could never support. There is nothing to replace this and there never can be. Sorry, Milo, but I think following your suggestion is the worst thing we can do.

In final I will send my copy of Elrond in this long traveling though endless obstacles…. this is becomes irritatingly boring. This all does not make sense any more….

This is designed in such a way that all of us here spend a little more time in friendship and exchange an interesting posts and thoughts about the areas in which we live. Pure fun. Socializing. No philosophizing about where or not is or was “stuck” Elrond …. in which corner of Middle-earth.

We should do some moves here and send this Elrond only to members who are active on our forum… and revise this list. Otherwise it will come to me for 10 years.

Maybe the problem is that the parcel has grown a lot and it is a bit unsendable (money speaking)?? Is it Harald who still has it? If it is, I would like to beg him to “release it” because it is a part of our common history, all those notes, pictures, postcards and all of that, are invaluable treasuries for the oldest members here.

In fact when Elrond visited me, I felt obliged to send it over again, just to not fail to my own honour, despite I couldn’t make his planned travels as I would have liked. And the package (I am sure) was a quarter of what it would be now…

If there is some kind of communication problem between Harald and the following member of the list, maybe Elrond could just travel to another “neutral” member who doesn’t have communication issues and then restore the order of the listings.

I think I have some good news.
I contacted Hwolf yesterday and got an answer this morning. Here it is :

“Salut Yves,
Yes, Elrond is still here among my Mithril miniatures, but he will travel before Christmas to the next collector fellow.
I have just to write his adventures with me and Gandalf and he then will travel on.
Greetings from Germany, Harald”

So, OK, let’s go on a positive mood and Elrond will be moving !

Elrong ? Dont’ know him…

Of course ! I forgot many Elro.. are spreaded over ME.

Good to see you back, Axel.

As for Elrond, let’s hope he really moves this time.
