Off topic alert: We did the extended editions as well. In TT, when King Theoden gives his "horse and the rider" speech, one of the uruk-hai, with no lips holding a giant spear, opens and closes his mouth repeatedly, well, just imagine him making a child-like noise and it becomes a fairly funny scene. Also, from Moria, my friends and I now have a "Gimli cry" that we frequently use when unhappy about something.

On all the confusion about sign-ups: if the intent was just to gauge interest, a forum post is fine; if you're trying to actually schedule a run, Rapid Raid is best. I haven't heard anything about Rapid Raid going away. If a run is scheduled in Rapid Raid, that should be the official record of who intends to go. That being the case, you should never sign someone else up for a raid unless they explicitly ask you to. I'm not trying to give you any grief, Bel; I'm just trying to avoid similar confusion in the future.

I apologize for the confusion, no one is committed to go against their will, and in the signup page only those who confirmed their attendance are tagged as "available" the rest are tagged as "tentative". Anyone can check their status by clicking on the link I provided.

No big deal Everen, you are completely right, I would only ask that if you want to pull my ears, do it in the "Pulling Bel's ears" thread in the Raid leader forums... Thanks twisted

Also, it would be best for me if the raid was a little later as well.

Morviel (CPT)
Anangil (LRM)

Thank you.

We watched the extended versions (2-disc DVDs with extra scenes!), and at the end of the Battle of Helm's Deep when all the orcs ran into the forest-that-was-suddenly-there and got eaten by trees...I had flashbacks to my very first time in the Old Forest, back in 2007, where the huorns were elites and actually did aggro to you.

Hey, I just did a LOTR movie marathon. It was good stuff.

I changed my signup to tentative for the time being, as I just realized that I didn't specify this in my initial post: my Fridays are my day off from class, but I never generally know what I'm going to be doing that day (last-minute plans to go get snacks for a LotR Movie Marathon* came up this past weekend), or what I'll feel like doing depending on how my school week has gone. :')

And if at all possible, I would like to bring my hunter more on raids, since she could use more gearing out than the cappy. But I'm always willing to bring whoever is needed, and I'll try to finish outfitting my minstrel too.

*So even if I'm not in Middle-Earth, I'm still involved in Middle-Earth...and nerding about it all the way.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Troli and Windsake agreed to schedule this raid under the Rapid Raid section, same day and same hour (Fri, Feb 12th, 8pm EST). I have taken the privilege to sign up the people that have replied to this post. Please check your signup in case I've made a mistake. If I signed you up it was because you posted your interest here and it was an attempt to hold your spot. If you cannot make it to the raid please don't feel involuntarily committed and feel free to change/cancel your signup using the link below.

You can check it out here

It's my job to keep the crazy dwarf and that silly RK in line.

Fixed my original post. Thanks for pointing that out, Bel.

Gonna try to get a DN/Watcher run every Friday.

--------------------------------------------

The Watcher
140 gloom
Acidic water damage
Big melee attacks

Require:
-45 radiance minimum
+5 Hope Tokens

Recommend:
-85+ radiance
-Acid defence
-Poison resist
-Innocence and Honesty virtues for everyone. Compassion virtue for hunter tanks on last phase.

It should read Honour, not Honesty. Honour is the one that gives poison resist, Honesty is a general purpose (usually for casters/hunters) virtue that gives power, armour and fate. Everything else looks good Happy
