I've been to Weatherstock 2012 and 2013. I regretfully missed this year (i was using TolerantX as a runekeeper) I freaking love the events, it makes the game feel real like a medieval faire. one of the reasons I play LOTRO is because of LMB and i recommend it to all my friends and fellows who inquire about LOTRO or MMOs at work, so yeah you get praise. :)

I basically want to promote attend and find some friends that might like me.

I want to promote attend and group as well as mentor others for the guild as well as just show the ideals of kindness and friendship. I am a heavy rper when i can find others to do it with. these are all activities i plan to contribute on a regular basis.

i read the hobbit at a young age and the lotr shortly therafter. I have seen all the fi.ms and am guilty of getting my gf to watch them as well. I like the battle of helms deep as well as the scenes with frodo and sam and the fil the hobbit the scenes in the forest. i like the prancing pony and wish we could have some good rp scenes there.

Misc:

Is there anything else not covered in this application that you'd like to share with us? :
I was wondering if I might be able to direct ppl to this page to possibly recruit. I have been a LMB fan since 2012 and have been wanting to be a member of what i honestly see as the best guild in LOTRO.

re: DECLINED - App: Baronnecrospasm - by Byrcha

A significant part of it is your character name which is felt to be a clear violation of the character name requirements in our charter. Perhaps you have another toon without the first name form and potential drug culture reference. We at the Lonely Mountain Band are serious about naming and family friendly culture in general. Please take a close look at our charter before considering applying with another character.

re: understood about the first name...

I was wondering how pipeweed is considered a drug culture reference. herbpipe is a given name by naming conventions in Middle -Earth much how Thorin Oakenshield had his bestowed. My character's first name may not be a "canon" name, but I stand by a last name not needing changed. I have plenty of alts and all share the last name. This is because my characters are almost always seen smoking their pipeweed in game. I t is a matter of fact that some of the kinship members here have seen me doing so and i've messaged 2 members in game and asked if they had any idea of the status of my application... all while smoking pipeweed and dancing to music one of them played. Also, in closing, pipeweed is included in LOTRO without any drug references, and is written about in all the novels. (heck it even has some nice abilities in Shadow of Mordor). If you will accept a different first name I would be happy to reapply with that character. The last name was researched before i chose it and really has more lord of the rings culture in it that one related to any drug. I smoke tobacco but tobacco isn in lotro its called pipeweed or i could be tobaccopipe, but THAT name would be against LOTRO canon, and not even close to a drug reference. Sorry If I've taken too much of your time, I just take offense when people assume its a drug reference in my name.

re: also your current members....

your kinship has people name "spotted" "strumpette" and "warcommand" none of those names have Middle-Earth connotations, yet you have a problem with Tolerantx? so basically if he was named Toleranx it would be a different story because of one letter? I understand the MAJORITY of the kinship has epic Tolkien names, but not everyone in your kinship currently operates within Middle-Earth naming conventions. Excluding others who's names might be off by one letter could be seen as some as elitism or picking and choosing people based on preference and friends currently in a kinship. please understand that i use family friendly' names and a one letter difference shouldnt be a big deal if you're already letting people with names like "Warcommand" in your kinship.

I am curious about this also, Shintako Shimazu is a clearly Japanese name, yet I have created a story for her that allows that type of linguistic foundation within Tolkien-cannon, yet it is quite a stretch.

I double-checked the roster. We don't have characters with any of these names in our kinship.
