Yet I doubt she would wear her most perfect dresses when on a journey.

Oh dear. I'm envisioning Rune in a dress now, with his hair all gussied up and everything. Not good for my psyche....but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.
And again, further proof that you all are insane.

I'm speechless! You did an amazingly great job on those costumes! I couldn't help but laugh at Nogrod's yellow boots.

*is stunned*
Where did you get those costumes? And have any of you ever taken the Original Geek Test? I think it's about time. http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html

I only got 13,14%
And by the way: if reading or studying something by your own free time & will makes one a geek then I'm pretty happy to be one.

I got 11% and I think that was mainly due to all the boxes I had to tick for being a girl.
I agree with Nogrod, intellectual curiosity is something everyone should be proud of, and if that is geeky, well, pshaw. And what's with the "vintage OR ugly clothing" question? One wears vintage because it is beautiful. On the subject of which, awesome pictures, my Finnish chums.

You all make me laugh so much. I love your comments...
And as for the test, I got something like 21% which means I'm simply "Geek"... and as I highly doubt Greenie will beat my score, I'm the geekiest of us four, and not very geeky... so there must be another reason for our silly actions...

Weak, I scored 24.45759% - Geek, just to let you know.
Well, it's actually almost one-quarter. Why not, actually.

Heh, 72.2%. Which makes me a Geek God.
And I consider myself relatively normal compared to the geek culture I know.

Wow, I guess I'm pretty low then, only a 19%. I never did like computer software that much.

Indeed. McCaber, that's... freaky. How on earth is that even possible?

I only got like 23.5%. I'm pretty pleased with that actually. And I'm not even a computer geek; imagine if I knew what all those letters and terms and stuff meant. Wow. *thinks of something to say that's actually on-topic* Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, Noggie. Emily wanted me to tell you how much she enjoyed your posting throughout the game (obviously I did too, but we already knew that). I think it's safe to say that many a squee of hers was due to your Bombadil antics. Just because I didn't mention it before. *giggles once more at the boots* EDIT: Took the test again because I was severely bored....I think I must have skipped a section. This time I got like 42.83%.

Hey, don't take this too seriously– the only way you could NOT score as at least "geek" is if you'd never read a book! I just thought it was funny, because as you see, dressing up as fantasy characters etc. is a major component.
Besides, most of us geeks are proud of being that way. I got "major geek", mainly because I DO know what "all those terms and letters and stuff" mean. (Also I own movie scripts and such). But... I didn't think it was POSSIBLE to score as high as McCaber did!

See, the dressing up is about the only thing I didn't get. That and the hardcore programming stuff.
But I didn't realize that wearing vintage clothes and hi-tops made me a geek.

You got that score without being a computer nerd and/or dressing up?

Nerwen - in case I was the one you were talking to when you said it shouldn't be taken very seriously, then I've probably once again misrepresented myself. I think the test was rather funny and I got exactly the kind of result I expected 8and wanted ) to get.
This might be one of the most off-topic and most active post-game discussions I've ever seen... but maybe it's just good that a game inspires the players.

Those photos are amazing, I seriously almost wet myself... (No, I'm really that frank). Ahem, anyways, probably my favourite is the mavrick Eomer taking out jockey Theodred. That and Nogrod's boots. Simply amazing.
I wish my family would do that, but my dad only likes Ents, and I doubt he'd cooperate with moss being glued to his face or something. I can only think of one of my off-Downs friends doing a photo montage with me, but she'll make me look horrible in restrospect since she's probably the most Galadriel type I've ever known (you know, wavey perfect and nautrally golden hair, perfect construction, looks good in white, etc...). Though, since I've been bugged to dress as ol'Rada I'm planning it out right now, though I think its going to be en femme since I can't find anything to make a beard with, plus I don't feel like wearing one. As for who else, I'll be sure to have all of my furry friends in the photo too! ~ Ka

I just thought I'd let you guys know that a I told a friend of mine about this WW game that I was playing and he thought that the story line was good enough for our drama team to do play on it this year! We're currently going over the script and who should get what parts (I got Dain and Ugluk).
Thanks everyone! Your wonderful writing skills have made this, possibly, the best WW game ever!

Oh, Groin! That's something! Yes, if there's any way you can then share the video with us, it will be awesome! And in any case, I find it great that this game gave you the inspiration to make your own play - so enjoy it!

Eomer got a little carried away, indeed....
Theodred is NOT amused.... Eomer: "This isn't going to end well, is it?"

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, first ringbearer of the Fellowship and protector (who apparently had a few too many Ent-draughts....)
Eomer, son of Eomund, avenger, decked out in some decidedly wicked boots.... O_O And....a group shot....

And a CHALLENGE! Your mission, if you are brave (and random) enough to accept it....
"Tra la la la lally?" To which Laura and Sally respond.... "Bwah????" And an encore, just because we can....bonus points if you understand the reference....
