Way to go DoK!!!!

[daughter_of_kings]

Well, this is unexpected... but thank you!

Oh, goody... I have a whole month to come up with a particularly tricksy round.

[Middle-Earth Scribe]

Oh, goody... I have a whole month to come up with a particularly tricksy round.

Hmm, yes, tricksey questions or easy questions, the choice is up to you!!

But, yes, Lore of the Rings is taking a month off (being run by a lazy Scribe/hobbit), but will return with the new year.

So, enjoy the holidays, be safe, have fun, eat lots of food (that's the hobbit in me coming out), and be ready when January rolls around!!

the MES,
Ashlyn

PS: And don't forget the Grand-Prize drawing at the end of December ... ... ... if you've played you've got a chance!!!

[frodosmiss]

I just cannot believe I missed this hobbity round- thought life would slow down this past few weeks, but found out I was wrong! congrats, DoK! I look forward to the next round in the hopes that I can give that a try! Enjoy your holiday respite, MES!! It is much deserved! You've done a terrific job this year!!

[bregotamer]

You and me, both Frodomiss. RW slowed down just enough for me to finally finish ROTK.....perhaps after this respite I will at least feel competent enough to give it a go!
