I feel like I barely knew Tinki, and yet his death has hit me hard. As so many others here have said, he was simply a wonderful person to be around.
I had the distinct honor of being promoted to full member by the Mistress of the Boot herself (not that I knew that back then)--and on Weatherstock morning, no less. I was so surprised (both because I had somehow gotten the idea that the normal recruit period was 4 weeks and because it was Weatherstock morning) and so happy. Out of all the time I've spent Middle-earth, and all the memories created, that one is still one of my favorites.

So sad to hear this news. I've been away for a while but will reinstall the game to be there Sunday to raise a glass in memory of the very best of us.

Oh dear...such sad, sad news.... I am on vacation so I have not been in game recently, but I wanted to stop in here and say just how sorry I am to hear of Ron/Tinki's passing.
I didn't know Tinki very well... by the time I arrived here in Middle Earth I believe Tinki was coming in game less and less. I did, of course, hear all kinds of wonderful things about her and thought of her as a sort of "celebrity"... the famous Tinki!
I remember, one meeting where we did a special tribute to Tinki. It was during that meeting that I got my yellow Tinki outfit which I slotted and wore and in fact was wearing it when I was promoted to officer. All of us playing with Old Winyards wore our Tinki outfits that night and I guess it felt so special to dress like Tinki, that TO THIS DAY I have my Tinki outfit always in one of my cosmetic slots. Always ready to honor her whenever we play "Tinki's Mambo".... she was a special person indeed.
*raises glass in a /toast to the one and only, Tinki*

When I met ~ a ~ Tinki for the first time, at Weatherstock V (2013),
it was already a legend,
and I thought ~ Tinki ~ was an army of vendors all dressed in yellow and black top hat!
Legend will never die!
./toasts to Tinki
Warm thoughts to you all LMB and friends of him.

I feared this day would come, but I remember talking to you once about what you were going through. You were not afraid of dying. You told me that you had peace with your Savior and that should you die, you knew you were going home. So, peace to you strength for your family. You are finally home in the arms of Jesus where you will no longer know pain, sorrow, fear or suffering. You will now only know love, peace and joy (and possibly long talks with Jack and Tollers). May we meet again.[/img]

This is such very sad news. Tinki was the one who brought me into LMB, and I shall forever consider myself fortunate to have the honor of wearing yellow alongside him at the first Winterstock.
Fare thee well, Tinki.

I didn't see a "sign-up" anywhere but if you need people to play for the tribute on Sunday I'd love to take part.

Well, I had hoped to be there. Made it home with 30min to spare, then realized had not been on since the last update, 40min down, still at only 88% downloaded. ![sad](images/smiles/icon_sad.gif)
