Middle Earth Idol and Mount Zoom Challenge.

'Nuff said.
You just had to go and pull those cards out didn't you?

I am actually in more treason for the Middle Earth Idol than all of the contestants: It was me and Sleepy Cowell who came up with this idea. Start chucking the microphones already.

And perhaps one of my biggest crimes of all is number 11 in the first post of this thread. I swear, I don't go around telling people that!

I find it amusing and tenuously relevant how the Werewolf games were originally well-linked to Tolkien and slowly digressed to the present level of insanity and uncanonicity. Animalia...

Do you want the writers of the Yule Log to come and get you?

-Heinous, unyeilding parody. Using the entire Ainulindale as my muse.

In my defense it was not originally all of my idea.

There are other things, however.

-An RPG game - just one - (my first) where as an orc was "magically" changed into an elf and then forced to marry Legolas. However fitting it was to Movie-Leggyboppers, it's still cringe worthy.

-My Tolkien-trivia bot has around 300 questions, but somewhere, in that amazing mass, two of them have remained wrong for over a year!

-"Mount Doom, Cafe and Bristo" : I was extremely serious about openning/running one. The napkin rings would have been... well... obviously full of very powersful dark magic

-Gollum + Swedish Chef = "Lets put de moosies in de bo'lerr, bork bork bork" (If I could only get it on audio...)

-I've called Denethor "Spanky", and I am ashamed.

Theres probably more, but goodness!

No the correct answer Kashish is "I am a vile spammer and thoroughly deserve the thunderbolt that will hit this post shortly" after which later readers will think I have gone off my trolley. So no change there....

The Lord of the Grins

I am the author of The Lord of the Grins......no person in Middle-earth has escaped my parody. Five years in the writing, it is massive. Having said that, I don't think it's a real crime, I did it out of love. If anyone who is on Facebook wants to read some join The Lord of the Grins or read on The Barrow-Downs The Name of the Game....

So, should I be cast to the wolves for the Moving of Mountains?

That really is the big crime that I should probably be banned from the forum for.

My Barrow Downs crimes (apart from MZC)... Hmmm...

Giving away my identity accidentally on my first (and only) werewolf game. Yes, I had received a PM from a normal player who said something like 'can't wait for the start of the WW game'. Later on, I was PMing the other WWs and accidentally included this individual.
Shame on me!

Oh, and the continuation of the Uncloaking gag really has to stop! (I think Nilp should own up to being the first crazy captioner to use it. Although I don’t think I helped by carrying it on most of the time).

Don't lynch me! this is not Werewolf

I guess I have two big crimes... almost sins against Tolkienity.

First of all, I have to admit that I don't care much for Tolkien's poetry. I find it boring, but then I've never liked poetry.

That's not so bad, you say? well how about this

I've never read either Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit or The Silmarillion in English entirely. I've read some parts of LoTR in English, but I have only read it from start to end in Spanish.

Well, when I first read Fellowship of the Ring, I thought it was boring and didn't finish it. This was way back when I was eleven or twelve.

Then when I read it again, and saw the movies, I created a horrible fanfic. The main character:
  • is Half-elven (in my defense, I created her before I knew about the prohibition. Which I still don't completely agree with).
  • is the daughter of Galadriel's AU second daughter
  • had both parents die tragically, killed by orcs
  • can talk to animals, to some extent
  • ends up with the Fellowship, but not as a Tenth Walker-- I think. Is that where the character leaves Rivendell with the Fellowship?

And the worst part?

I'm writing it down. And publishing it.

... It's not so heinous a crime as it sounds. I'm using it as a challenge on how not to write a Sue despite given potential.

I confess that one. Even though I never finished it and I think it's horrible, except that I like Aragorn's hair.

I think making a ww game in which Maeglin is Idril's lover is uncanonical enough, not to mention other stuff that happened in that game (balrogs having bling, singing Disney songs and being kidnapped by ufos, just to mention a few).

What else? I'm currently painting Túrin and Gwindor at Lake Ivrin and I'm pretty sure the landscape is quite uncanon because I didn't bother to check how it is described and my Nargothrond doesn't look very hidden... (but that's purely for artistic reasons, I needed to show that the city was there...) *flees the Allmighty Groundhog Who Sees Through Feeble Excuses*
